Omg, okay I love Palm Springs! Pete and I were both pretty pumped to add this to our list of places to visit during this years California trip. I sure am glad we went there because it did not disappoint.

PS is such a cool place, very one of a kind and of course a huge reason I loved it and wanted to visit was all of the beautiful colours. The archiecture and vibe is just amazing, we were totally in awe and definitely took so many photos!

The people were so nice and friendly and we were honestly all smiles during our time there.

This was the only place where we stayed in hotels (the other locations using air b+b and hopper) but I think we did an awesome job finding the perfect places to stay. We're a super solid team when it comes to that.

During our time in Palm Springs we stayed at The Riviera and The Saguaro, both of which were pure *magic*.  The Riviera was huge, and so beautiful inside! Really cool interiors and a fun, colourful lobby, and really big, nice pools. We had so much fun swimming in the sunshine and in the evening while staying there! The Saguaro, for obviously reasons was my choice dream. The hotel is literally a rainbow, the rooms are so fun and colourful, and the lobby is filled with happy, colourful things like a glass case of vintage barbies and a ping pong table. 

I LOVED THESE PLACES IN PALM SPRINGS:

Mr Rex's Dinosaur Adventure // Such a cool spot and awesome views. We didn't pay to go in (and I don't think you should either, lolz)
El Jefe // Cute little mexican restaurant in the Saguaro. We had a delicious dinner and some damn good margaritas there!
Icecream + Shop // Legit the cutest Icecream parlour with an adorrrrable little shop inside, they're famous for their neon #palmspringsisbetter sign!
Draughtsman // Really beautiful restaurant/pub with delicious food, happy hour  deals + fun games outside. Loved the vibe!
Ace Hotel //  Love any Ace Hotel really! but this was an awesome spot. The whole look of it was so rad, and we obvi had to do photobooth photos!
King's Highway // The restaurant inside the Ace is cool AF. A pretty basic menu but again, really lovely staff and I had a delicious classic breakfast with damn good hash browns.
Thick As Thieves // Obsessed with this shop. Cutest shop we found in Palm Springs tbh. Got an adorable pennant and really cool fortune telling book there.
Norma's // Absolutely beautiful spot for brunch inside The Parker Hotel, probably the best brunch we've ever had. We felt very famous while there, and the staff were *the* best!
Moorten Botanical Garden // We absolutely loved this ($5 to get in!) and so many incredible, unique plants everywhere. Great photo ops for sure.
Birba // The most delicious food (the pizza was bomb!) and the service was so good. I love all of the outdoor patios that L.A has, with their heaters and everything! So good.
The Shops at 1345 // The beautiful building (with pretty pink walls) is filled with all sorts of amazing vendors inside. Decor, clothing, vintage, and everything in between
Elvis' Honeymoon House // We went to look at the outside but the tours were pretty pricey. The house is SO cool and legit in one of the coolest neighbourhoods ever.

Palm Springs is really just a dream. We had so much fun walking around and I was  definitely spending all my time drooling and reacting to all the cute, colourful things. My new favourite flower that is literally everywhere is called Bougainvillea and it's simply wonderful.

Palm Springs is amazing, and you should go there.
