Jetsetter: Mrs. Lilien’s Palm Springs Essentials

Today we are excited to kick off a new series! Jetsetter will feature some of our favorite on-the-go ladies with top choice destinations. Included will be travel essentials, helpful advice, and more! Who better to kick this off than the fabulous Mrs. Lilien?!

Destination: None other than the magnificent Palm Springs.

Hotel: It’s a serious crime to stay anywhere other than Colony Palms (specifically the Palme D’or Residence).

When to go: April or October—not too hot; not too cold…just right. Crowds are low. (NOT during Coachella.)

Local Style Scene: Vintage shopping + playdates with Mr. + Mrs. Turk and their colorful gaggle of local pals.

Arts/Culture/Attractions to visit: The Trina Turk Store (duh!), Bon Vivant (they have the best blenko glass collection!), Mr. Cox (a fabulously curated vintage salon of sorts).

Cocktail Spot with view: Poolside—simple as that.

Fave local restaurant: Birba (Birbaps.com): the best pizza + cocktails on this side of the equator.

In my bag: 1-2 patio gowns, LOTS of lotion + sunscreen galore, 2 pairs of sunglasses, a wad of cash, lipstick, headscarfs + bikinis, pool sandals and house slippers—you know, the whole shebang!

Fave in-flight activity: Drinking a favorite beverage…obvi!
