The spring of Palms

So, yeah... hey, I'm alive. What's up blog-o-sphere?

Let's just pretend these photos were taken just oh, last week as opposed to a couple months ago... whoops!

My boyfriend and I have a travel itch but, with our comfortable yet small financial means we are restricted to the confines of the state of California... for the most part, for now. However, this summer we have travelled quite a distance around this state and let me tell you, it's like a million places in one! I highly recommend visiting if you have never been here, and I'm not just saying LA or San Francisco. I'm talkin' Joshua Tree National Park, The Salton Sea, Gold Country, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, the various and vastly different coastal cities. I mean, there is so much!

This trip we took was to Palm Springs. With our trusty Expedia iPhone app, we were able to snag a gorgeous little Inn for a reasonable cost for a couple nights. I fell in love with the room. All white with hints of black. Very cool and serene...

 

Thankfully, we were there when the high temps were no more than about 95 degrees (fahrenheit) and so the evenings and mornings were breezy, but warm.

Boyf snapped these pics of me before we took a walk down the main drag of Palm Springs and found a place to eat. He was testing out his fancy new 50mm lens, but I was a poor subject because I kept moving and thus turned out a little blurry... oh, well. I like the look, what do you think?

wearing: 

orange cropped cardigan - Anthropologie

high waist denim jeans - via blushing ambition

brown huarache sandals - urban outfitters

embroidered mini satchel purse - thrifted

various rings and jewelry and such. 

Dooorrrrk.

I really needed a bang trim. BAD.

Well, that's all for now, kiddos. It's been nice talking to you. Today I worked 7AM-3PM and then had class 4-7, so needless to say, I'm wiped out! However, I can officially tell you that I am now the Assistant Merchandiser for my hometown's Urban Outfitters store. And let me say, putting in the long hours to do merchandising and get paid for dressing up mannequins and arranging things neatly and sensibly is one hell of a job! It's like I get to play dress up for every different kind of girl every day. Almost... sorta? 

I can only anticipate what is to come, there are details that I just can't share yet, but I will, soon!

XO.
