Melvyn's Restaurant … A True Palm Springs Legend

For dinner Saturday night

there was only one place I wanted to go

Melvyn's Restaurant

at the

 legendary Ingleside Inn.

Melvyn's is like stepping back in time 

to the days of

the Rat Pack and Blue Eyes Sinatra.

We chose to sit at the bar 

always our favorite place

to get an interactive feel for a place.

I noticed an impeccably dressed older gentleman at the bar

to my left.

At first glance all I saw was his

cuff and jacket sleeve

but 

 to me it instantly embodied

the old Hollywood glamour

of days gone by.

I was soon to find out

it was Melvyn himself.

Meeting Melvyn

it is easy to see why even after 35 years

the restaurant  is a fabulous as ever

if not even more so!

To see and here more from 

Melvyn

Oh the stories he has to tell!

I was ever so happy with what I chose to wear!

Every since our 

Palms Springs

 trip was planned

I have been on the hunt for the

perfect caftan.

I finally found this crocheted beauty

in the most unexpected to me 

place.  

I found it online

after the ever glamorous

La Contessa

asked me if I had seen the caftans in the 

Soft Surroundings catalogue.

I would have never even looked there

without her recommendation.

 I haven't been overly impressed with their offerings …

that is until now!

( I had even been invited to do a post for them in exchange 

for clothing … which as I usually always do

I turned it down).

So this is not an exchange post.

This is just me sharing a find I am so excited about!

Soft Surroundings caftan choices

had me even struggling to make a decision 

between their offerings!

I picked this one

and 

I am over the moon with it!

I see wearing it for 

sunset beach cocktails

entertaining in the backyard

and

even lounging at home.

That is a lot of mileage for one piece!

My favorite kind of purchase!

I paired the caftan with my

floral crown

(I have a DIY for it Here).

This headband version of a crown

is absolutely perfect for hot weather

as it has my hair up and off my face
with everything in place all night!

My new sunglasses

are a happy new find form

Free People.

I carried my vintage crystal bag

to give a perfect finish to 

my ode  to 

Palm Springs 

authentic Hollywood glamour!

So if you find yourself in 

Palm Springs

I highly recommend 

Melvyn's

where you can get 

hollywood history, 

romantic ambiance

and 

the most 

delicious food

all the while

you feel like you are visiting

an era from long ago.

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life
