Let the sequin begin. Angel View Prestige Boutique, Palm Springs
So I have come to Palm Springs in search of sun, serenity and style. The Desert offers the best vintage shopping ever… as does probably every other city saturated with rich retirees. After lunching at the newly remodeled Riviera Resort and Spa (the pinnacle of retro chic), it was time to talk shop. My mission was to see how I could take the spring 2010 ready to wear trends and make them work in the real world. You name it, I tried it: reds, blues, pastels, nudes, soft silhouettes, digital prints and even “the kitchen sink.” If you shop the Angel View Prestige Boutique be sure to take a walk around back and hit up the Angel View Thrift Store. I met and fell in love with so many things, but knowing it was only my first day at work, I settled for the red belt (pictured with the red pants), ivory silk blouse, both the hot pink and lavender dresses… and the pleasure of knowing that fashion can benefit a wonderful charity.
