I Discovery Something New Everyday

This past weekend I took a trip down to one of my favorite places, San Diego. As many of you know, I used to live there and nowadays when I go back, I am constantly discovering places that I never knew existed. Well this time I discovered a place that I used to drive past four days a week and never gave much thought.

I was brought to the Self Realization Temple in Encinitas. If you are ever in the neighborhood, you must go! Take a look at the view:

Palm Springs Getaway

Palm Springs has long been one of my favorite getaway spots. I have watched it transform from a tired retirement community to a revitalized mid century modern hub. Old hotels turned new and chic with plenty of hipsters heading there for a chance to relax by the pool. Stylish stores opened their doors catering to that now famous Palm Springs style.

Below are some of my favorite interiors and exteriors from three fabulous Palm Springs hotels. Just pull up a lounge chair and order a drink....

The Viceroy - The place I call home for a couple of days each summer!

The Parker - Jonathan Adler at his best!

The Riviera - Fabulous over the top mid century modern that pictures just can't describe!
