Located in the Sonoran Desert, Palm Springs is best known for it’s Mid-Century Modern architecture, vintage shops and scorching climate. Hollywood A-listers have long flocked to this sizzling, glam-packed playground to escape the pressures of show business and bask in the desert sun. My hubby and I jetted down this past weekend to attend a gorgeous, laid-back wedding at the The Colt’s Lodge. In between nuptial festivities, we took some time to explore this historic and charming SoCal city.
