It's official… we love Palm Springs! Last weekend Jeremy and I traveled there for a little getaway to celebrate our two year anniversary. It was such a relaxing time and the perfect way to relax and get inspired! Here are a few photos…
We visited Salvation Mountain together and it was absolutely beautiful and so inspiring. It's my favorite work of art in the world.
Here's a list of spots we visited and loved: Cheeky's, Birba, El Jefe, Koffi, Workshop, Trina Turk, Ace Hotel. 🙂 If you live in the area, or have visited, let us know in the comments if you have other favorite spots!
I shared more photos over at my personal blog. We had a great time! Life is good. xoxo. Elsie

Looks amazing. I love the photo of the bikes.

I grew up in Indio, California right near Palm Springs. I love how you captured what a unique and wonderful place it is. There’s no place else like it in the world 🙂
I’d love to visit Palm Springs, it looks so amazing and colourful, every time I catch a glimpse of Ace hotel or Salvation mountain I feel I should be visiting, hopefully one day! http://ahandfulofhope.blogspot.co.uk/
i live like 1.5 hr away from Palm Springs and always wanted to go to ACE hotel since a lot of weddings are being held there… I think I need to venture out. Plus of course Salvation Mountain… I need to go soon before it gets really hot!
You are such a genius with the camera!!
QUESTION: I just bought the Wacom Bamboo Tablet (wich I know you guys use as well) and I am SUPER exited, but I was wondering if you could imagine making a post about it with tips and tricks on how to create cute effects and desgins on photos?
Wow, this looks such a beautiful place. I love all the bright colours and all the descriptions on the drink menu: very inspiring! And many congratulations on your two year anniversary – what a wonderful way to mark it!
You HAVE to do the drive up and down San Bernadino Mountain. The Palms to Pines highway they call it. And it ends in Cabazon where you can visit the Cabazon Dinosaurs from Pee Wee’s Big Adventure!!
Oh my goodness, I love Palm Springs! We were there over the new year and fell in love! One place I loved was the Nature’s Health Food & Cafe (www.natureshealthfoodcafe.com), which is a lovely juice bar. They had so many options for juice including one with prickly pear & great dishes! Next time we visit I’d love to go to the tram and for sure Salvation Mountain! What a special trip! =)
never thought of palm springs as a must go destination, but just these colours are enough to inspire a visit. adding it to my list of places to visit, asap!
glad you two had a happy anniversary.
I love Palm Springs too – the guys at ACE recommended Birba to us so we grabbed some of their free bikes and pedalled our way to pizza goodness! Never made it to Salvation Mountain though… we’ll just need to go back! x
Ah! I have been to Palm Springs once and am (most likely) going back in one month! I’m super excited and will definitely put some of these places on my go to list! I can’t wait. Glad you had a good time and happy anniversary!
Other local faves are Palm Greens Cafe, Nature’s Cafe, the farmers’ market on Saturday morning, Camelot Theatres, the Palm Sorings Art Museum, Joshua Tree, and the Thursday street fair.
While you were there, you might have seen some beautiful mountains towering nearby. Next time you visit go up to Idyllwild, it’s less than an hour up the mountain and it’s a beautiful artsy mountain town. You’ll be amazed how quickly you go from a dry palm desert to a pine forest! (In fact, the highway is called Palms to Pines Highway.)
I lived in Idyllwild for two years and attended an arts high school they have up there. There are a ton of art galleries and cute restaurants. If you go, you NEED to stop by the coffee shop, Higher Grounds Coffee. Some of the best coffee I have ever tasted. My fiance used to work there when we lived in the area. I’m far up north now, but I miss Idyllwild so much!
This looks so fantastic. My in laws live outside Phoenix and I’ve been nagging my husband to do a road trip to Palm Springs next time we go visit them. Needs to happen…
I just came back from Palm Springs yesterday. We finally took the drive to Salvation Mountain, simply amazing. We have been wanting to go for a while. Such a relating time. Also, we loved our brunch at Cheekys! Got that idea from you.
i love Palm Springs! <3
we went there a few months ago after we eloped - most relaxing place ever!
absolutely love the Ace Hotel too! that pool! and the spa! ahh dreamy! <3
we went to this incredible mexican restaurant downtown - it was huge & jam packed every night! live music, great cocktails & the biggest food portions i've ever seen in my life!
love your pics - looks like you guys had a blast!
happy anniversary

I love your macrame curtains. I have made many hangings and now you have nudged my cafty side. I am redecorating my bedroom in the Boho style and I am going to make a curtain or hanging in my case of your pattern for behind my bed. Thank you for this. Great work by the way.

I stayed in the Horizon Hotel when visiting from the UK last year it’s a mid-century modern dream, absolute perfection.
Your photography: wowza! Love it! So colorful, and you two are just the most photogenic people.
Lovely photos so nice and colourful 🙂
