The Parker Hotel Palm Springs

The Parker Hotel
in Palm Springs 

is one photo opportunity after another.

Designed by Johnathon Adler in 2005

with a design plan in his words to

"Unite happiness and chic"
and
he has done just that!

The Parker was previously 

the Merv Griffin Resort and Givenchy Spa.

It seems every corner you turn

there is more   bright Palm Springs splendor.

This all made for the perfect opportunity to wear my

Tory Burch tunic

emblazoned with crystals.

I have had this tunic for years

and 

it always speaks Palm Springs to me.

Because of the heat 

I paired it with my

wide and flowing white pants by

Artleliar Nicole Miller.

The fact that the pants are lined and wide

gives them them beautiful movement when walking.

The Parker was a perfect fit for my

for my extra wild Frank Olive straw hat.

I wore my favorite Jeffrey Campbell white shoes

and 

my summer staple straw bag

that originates form Africa.

The Parker lobby.

The bar lounge ...

complete with hanging chairs.

We ate at
 Norma's

one of the Parker's two restaurants

where breakfast

the most important meal of the day

is  served 

all day.

Sitting down I was immediately taken with

the embroidered fabric placemats 

and

Adler's salt and pepper shakers

designed specifically  for the property

I  was a tad bit saddened

 to find they didn't sell these fabulous  little sculptures

and
 wondered how many must 'fly' out of there.

With the water delivery

came a 'smoothie shot'

perfectly refreshing from the outside heat.

The popular resurgence of donuts

has made it's way into Norma's as well.

But here when you order them

they come freshly made and even  warm

served with lemon custard and blubbery jam.

My favorite part of the Parker

their grounds

where it seems around every tightly trimmed hedge

is another perfectly designed seating area!

Some seating areas complete with fire pits.

Seating is to be found
encircling the croquet field.

The scalloped umbrellas

have me on a personal hunt now!

Just so much style punch 

form one scalloped garden accessory!

The Lemonade Stand

was another treat to be found

winding through 

the living hedged walls.

So if you find yourself in Palm Springs
I have definitely added
'breakfast' at
The Parker
 to my must do list!

As always my friends 

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life
