Mini Vacation: Palm Springs!

{Tank: Nordstrom | Cut-offs: Vintage via Urban Renewal via Urban Outfitters | Sandals: Rainbow}

My summer "vacation" was starting to feel like anything but! Yes, I had the luxury of sleeping in, but in general, the things that were starting to stand out about my summer were: my tonsil/nasal surgery & recovery, my mom's foot surgery/recovery & my care-giving (haha), and prepping for grad school! Yikes!


Luckily, my mom had the GREAT idea to end our summer in Palm Springs! (This is what I wore on the drive over, and to stop at the outlet malls in Cabazon.) Now, if you aren't from Southern California and you aren't familiar with Palm Springs, lemme give you the low down: it's a desert town about 90 miles from where I live in Orange County, known for its resort-style vibe and its scorching high temperatures in the summertime - often beginning in spring - and often lasting through the fall! We were able to take a few days, relax in the pool, see how long we could stand bask in the 100-degree heat, and eat some delicious food!

Now, that's how you end your summer!
