Relaxing in Rancho Mirage take two

wearing: (again, sorry for the blurry pic) / statement earrings / necklaces / white top / caramel top handle bag / summer nail polish / wide leg jeans / boots (old, similar here) /

OK, on the last day in Rancho Mirage I was exhausted. I know it looks like I didn’t do very much, but I was driving the girls around a lot and staying up late since the festival ended after midnight every night. I was tired, so by the last day, I slept in and relaxed around the Westin. Which is fine, because this hotel had a lot of activities and places to relax. Loved it!

Of course, I never did master the iPhone self-timer. Again, my outfit photos are horrible both with color and clarity. Sigh. . .

I did a lot of walking, relaxing, watching golf, and at the end of the evening, I watched the sunset. Desert sunsets are always beautiful. Love!

So, if you are headed to the Coachella Valley, I highly recommend the Westin Rancho Mirage. It is a beautiful and relaxing place to stay. I will definitely go back, with more energy! haha

Thanks for stopping by,

Relaxing in Rancho Mirage

wearing: (apologies for the blurry pic) / statement earrings / knit top / caramel top handle bag / summer nail polish / maxi skirt / boots (old, similar here) /

So, my daughter and her friends attended the Coachella music festival last month, and they needed a ride out to Coachella Valley. This was an opportunity for me to give them a safe and convenient ride, as well as take some time to relax and have “me” time.

We stayed at the Westin Rancho Mirage, which is a beautiful resort in Rancho Mirage, roughly twenty minutes without traffic to the festival venue. The hotel features several restaurants, a golf course, bowling, tennis, pickleball, and more. They also had events scheduled for children and adults every day. It looked like a great place to bring a family too!

The first day, I enjoyed the grounds, ate delicious food, and attempted to figure out the self-timer on my iPhone. As you can see, I didn’t do a very job. My outfit photos came out very blurry. This was a bummer since this was my favorite outfit of the weekend! haha

There was a sushi happy hour at Pinzimini inside the Westin. Since I don’t drink, I ordered a mocktail which was both aesthetic and delicious. I highly recommend the sushi happy hour if you visit! Love!

It is a rare occasion that I get to relax, so this was a welcome day. In addition, my daughter and her friends had a blast at Coachella. Love that!

Stay tuned for more Coachella Valley coverage.

Thanks for stopping by,

How can it already be May?! This year feels like it is flying by! As we move into the summer season, neutrals and natural hues are hotter than hot. Little pops of pink, green, yellow, and blue are starting to pop up, but right now, neutrals are king.

Did you see my review of Chanel’s newest fragrance? If not, check it out! This is beautiful fruity floral, and it settles into a beautiful floral with a musky base. Love! Seriously, I find myself wearing it everyday, I think my other fragrance bottles are getting jealous. haha

Dior’s summer nail polish collection is flying off store shelves. I can’t stop wearing these warm hues. Love!
