Desert Oasis
My best friend and I needed a much-needed break out of Los Angeles. I love what I do and where I live, but like many Angelenos, I get a little burnt out and sometimes need to escape for a little r&r. We both love the desert and decided to make a quick, one-day trip to Joshua Tree and Palm Springs and attend the always cool, Rachel Zoe event. The property we stayed at via Airbnb, was insane (in the best way). There were acres of beautiful desert oasis and the coolest retro trailers on the lot. We all shared the blue house, giving the property a real sense of community, which was fun and a new, different experience for me. Everyone I met while staying there was incredibly friendly. The views were breathtaking, and I was entranced by the clear sky and array of shooting stars and constellations at night, reminding me how small we are in this universe. But I digress...this place is magical! We had a blast playing dress-up around the property, like wearing this comfortable Band of Gypsies yellow wrap dress and adorable Cocobelle Papua gladiator sandals. I’m obsessed with the contrast to the blue house, giving it the perfect desert oasis-like feel. We even attempted to get up extra early to catch the sunrise, but we failed miserably, ha. I will definitely be back just so I can shoot and enjoy more of this property! I had the best time here with my friend, giving us the little break we needed from our LA lives and a little bonding time. Sometimes you just need to get away.
