It’s no secret that I’m basically an 80 year old at heart.  An old soul quality that is now being supported by my aching joints and terrible short term memory.  I do also love crossword puzzles, episodes of jeopardy, and orthopaedic shoes.  Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that my love of Palm Springs is no surprise to anyone.  The place caters specifically to the elderly and many of the buildings look like they’re right out of the 50’s!

It was so nice getting to spend a week in Palm Springs, even if it did mean sleeping on a couch for 5 nights (the only way I could arrange free accommodation was crashing at my parent’s rented condo).   A week in such a gorgeous desert seemed like outfit photo heaven, so I packed an entire suitcase almost exclusively with photo worthy looks.  I even got my mom to shoot this one – thanks ma!  To my extreme disappointment, as my camera battery began dying, I realized that I didn’t pack the charger.  Which, was extra frustrating when I’d wasted it on photos of myself and left no battery life to shoot anything at my cousin’s wedding.  Thank goodness for decent iPhone photo quality, or I would have cried.  I still can’t find the camera charger.  I think it’s lost forever!

I know it’s funny posting summer looks at the end of October, but are you loving this Ash & Grove top as much as I am?  It was a totally unexpected find while I was shopping in New Westminster one day.  I happened to stop by the 6th Street Pop Up and scooped up this floral top, as well as a flamingo printed blouse.  Can’t wait for this talented designer to have more styles for sale, her eye for fun prints and feminine silhouettes are what I’m always looking for!

    Oh no, I hope you find the charger. Thank goodness for the iPhone. Super cute outfit. I need to get somewhere warm and get some sun. Missing summer so much already. ♡♡
