Scenes From a Palm Springs Weekend

Hi lovelies! We hope you guys had a great Labor Day weekend and aren’t too depressed at the thought of summer being over… This weekend half of us were lounging in San Diego while the other (me, Karrie) was straight chilling in glorious Palm Springs. Some pics of the Palm Springs weekend below!

That’s Kilroy. He makes himself real comfy. Can’t blame him. Traffic from LA-Palm Springs on a Friday afternoon = bruuuuuutal.

But once we got there, this became our view for the four days. Our rental house was on a golf course and every morning (and afternoon, and night) it was soooo quiet and peaceful.

This is how you watch college football while in Palm Springs. *Note: We did not leave these seats for h-o-u-r-s.

Until we decided to take the bikes provided by the owners of the house on a stroll thru the surrounding neighborhoods…

And YOU GUYS – #thatpinkdoor (THE most iconic in Palm Springs – maybe one of the most iconic homes amongst bloggers) was located half a block down from our house!

And everywhere we looked there was a super cool home with – as is customary in Palm Sprizzles – a brightly colored front door. Can we paint ours this color Steph?

That garage door is SO Jonathan Adler.

Every house is different; every door color so vibrant!

Speaking of vibrant, if you’re ever in Palm Springs you MUST go to Las Casuelas and pound a burrito and a big ol’ marg straight to your head. Thank us later (or not)….

Me, lookin’ all kinds of relaxed. Oh yeah, and I stole these sunglasses from my mom – aren’t they the raddest sunglasses ever? Thanks Mahm.

Can’t you just smell the still desert air here? Sigh…

Have a great Tuesday and remember, just four days ’til the weekend!

Listen. Eat. Wear. Read. See. Repeat.

Happy Friday pretties! What are you all doing this long weekend? Hopefully savoring these last few days of summer and relaxing before returning back to the grind. Without further ado, here are five things we’re loving right now. Giddy up!:

We were lucky enough to celebrate our friends’ wedding in Maine last weekend, and have been singing their first dance song all day, literally every day:

As if we needed more proof that Steph’s basically a younger, hotter Martha Stewart, she made this insane orange rosemary chicken recipe a couple times recently and let me tell you, not only is it SO delicious, it makes your place smell heavenly. And it’s so perfect for Fall!

This dress with a pair of over the knee boots and a long comfy cardigan sweater for Fall. It’s been sold our for weeks and just became available for pre-order! Oh yeah… and it’s $48:

Screen Shot 2016-09-02 at 9.14.22 AM We already mentioned this book in our post with the 15 books to read right now but we need to mention it again because it’s just so good and funny. Guys and ladies alike will like this memoir (my hubby read it in two sittings) – and the TV/film rights have been snatched up, meaning we’ll probably see it on screen in the near future:

The newest video for Kanye’s new song Fade. And it’s NSFW (sorry Mom)! Listen, we think Kanye’s a big a-hole like the rest of you. Plus his music these last few years has been totally overrated. BUT like it or not, his new song is the biz, and the video is real hot – as in Flashdance for 2016… but naughtier. We almost didn’t post this sucker but hey, it’s our blog, it’s a great song, and we think y’all can handle it.

That’s it for now. Stephie’s chillin’ in San Diego this weekend while I’m gonna be poolside in Palm Springs. Have an amazing weekend!
