It's all you'll need when telling everyone you're free

















Coming off an incredibly special couple of long weekends in the desert, the first for LAND's performance of Katie Grinnan's Astrology Orchestra, the second for the holiday. Words won't begin to describe the time spent, it must simply be felt.

Some of my favorite spots:

Coyote Hole House
Integratron
Pappy and Harriet's
Hope Springs
Cactus Mart
Mojave Sands
29 Palms Inn
Crossroads Cafe
Giant Rock - and be sure to go past to the white quartz hill
The Ace 
Stuart's for moccasins and crystals
Cheeky's

I need some summer sun to come and wake me up




 




 

Dreaming of deep turquoise, pinks, and whites...

It feels so right

Since the last post, I have finished graduate school {classes at least, still have the thesis} traveled to California, and turned a year older. Needless to say, it's been a none stop couple of weeks, but unforgettable. Here are some of my favorite snaps from my trip out west.
We spent five amazing, relaxing nights in Palm Springs, one of my eternal happy places. We stayed at the Ace...
Where we lounged by the pool drinking Figas (my favorite concoction of earl grey infused vodka, blood orange juice and figs, or something of the like)
Listened to all of our favorite albums on vinyl... 
 And hung out at the Parker {Norma's mango shrimp quesadilla.....}
And scored some major thrift finds, including a white, full length pleated silk skirt {my version of this} the cream genuine snake clutch seen in the first shot, and this perfect mexican rug, in turquoise and pink {my colors}

 Then spent the next week in Santa Barbara and LA, where I hiked, swam, ate and ate. Including..
Watermelon agua fresca from La Super-Rica
 The best burger and sweet potato wedges from Golden State..
And... SUSHIRRITTOs. Yes. Sushi + Burritto. Jogasaki is a must to track down when in LA.

Flew home just in time for lovely birthday celebrations with my bests of friends...

I keep my eyes closed and listen to the noise












Spent a whirlwind week in the Netherlands, learning much about Dutch cultural policy and its art institutions. Enjoyed every second, will miss all of the delicious food, kind people and beautiful sights, but looking forward to a carb detox {and spring...}

And when there is nothing left to pretend...


Off to Palm Springs tomorrow for a much needed weekend of nothing but some hot desert sun, poolside reading, and endless laughs with the family... Palm Springs is one of my all time favorite places, I grew up spending almost every weekend there, even in the summers when the temperatures soar, I eat it up.. I love visiting and thinking of all the old Hollywood movie stars, lounging by the pool with a martini in one hand, a cigarette in the other and some records..

One of my favorite parts is simply the drive out there.. So magical and serene..

Love all the quirky shops...

mmm.. 

What more do you need??

And some sixties-esque jams to set the mood...
