Melvyn's Restaurant … A True Palm Springs Legend


For dinner Saturday night
there was only one place I wanted to go
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
a true Palm Springs legend 
go Here
at the bottom
is a video with Melvyn's Moments.
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
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 

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

  9. Gorgeous opening photo, Tamera. Exquisite. Kudos to you and your photographer!
    I'm so happy you are enjoying travel, as it's an amazing experience to venture forth and broaden oneself through expanding one's scope.
    Travel is easier for some than others, and venturing forth is always an act of bravery.
    Thank you for sharing your adventure!

  10. Breathtaking! What an incredible caftan, it is the perfect added piece for your summer wardrobe. And those sunnies are amazing, are they a new edition also? I must add, the neutral lip color looks wonderful on you. Tori has started wearing this color as well. I'm added Melvin's to my must go to list. Thanks for the recommendation, so glad you had a wonderful trip.
    By the way, I mentioned you in my last post because your bracelet was just so perfect.
