Packing for Palm Springs

August 29, 2012

Our Editor-in-Chief moves some of her favourite things to her new Palm
Springs getaway.


The Elephant in the Room

For my girls shared bunkroom, this Elephant
is the perfect mid-century kids décor. Originally designed by Charles
and Ray Eames for their own family in plywood, its now reissued in
glossy plastic. $320 at EQ3, www.eQ3.com

 


Glad-iators

Other than my Nexus card, these made-in-Italy
Roots sandals
($168) were the life-saver of my last trip. Breezy
enough for the weather, yet sturdy enough to traipse through succulent
nurseries. www.roots.com

 


Block Party

Designer Trina Turk owns a home in Palm Springs, and has recently
expanded her store there to include a swim boutique. I especially love
the Palm
Springs Block Towel
($58) in orange, inspired by the decorative
brise soleil walls you see everywhere.

 


Modern Love

Most of our décor is coming from the amazing consignment shops in and
around Palm Springs, but this stunning
poster
for my friends architecture documentary, Coast Modern, will
take pride of place in the Master. $150 at www.coastmodernfilm.com



Keep Calm and Carry On

When the reno stress gets to me, Ill simply spray on my Dermalogica
UltraCalming Mist
, which also hydrates and reduces redness from
heat, sunburn, waxing, or, I hope, concrete dust. $45, www.dermalogica.ca
