For dinner Saturday nightthere was only one place I wanted to goMelvyn's Restaurantat the legendary Ingleside Inn.Melvyn's is like stepping back in time to the days ofthe Rat Pack and Blue Eyes Sinatra.
We chose to sit at the bar always our favorite placeto get an interactive feel for a place.I noticed an impeccably dressed older gentleman at the barto my left.At first glance all I saw was hiscuff and jacket sleevebut to me it instantly embodiedthe old Hollywood glamourof days gone by.I was soon to find outit was Melvyn himself.Meeting Melvynit is easy to see why even after 35 yearsthe restaurant is a fabulous as everif not even more so!

I was ever so happy with what I chose to wear!
Every since our Palms Springs trip was plannedI have been on the hunt for theperfect caftan.
I finally found this crocheted beautyin the most unexpected to me place. I found it onlineafter the ever glamorousLa Contessaasked me if I had seen the caftans in the Soft Surroundings catalog.I would have never even looked therewithout 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 doI 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 choiceshad me even struggling to make a decision between their offerings!
I picked this oneand I am over the moon with it!
I see wearing it for sunset beach cocktailsentertaining in the backyardandeven lounging at home.
That is a lot of mileage for one piece!My favorite kind of purchase!
I paired the caftan with myfloral crown(I have a DIY for it Here).This headband version of a crownis absolutely perfect for hot weatheras it has my hair up and off my face
with everything in place all night!
My new sunglassesare a happy new find formFree People.
I carried my vintage crystal bagto give a perfect finish to my ode to Palm Springs authentic Hollywood glamour!
So if you find yourself in Palm SpringsI highly recommend
Melvyn'swhere you can get hollywood history, romantic ambianceand the most delicious foodall the whileyou feel like you are visitingan era from long ago.
