PALM SPRINGS
Palm Springs is one of the easiest cities from DTLA to
get away to where you can be completely immersed in
another world. The serenity of the desert and the beau-

seems as if they are all coming from an editorial in
Vogue magazine. My Gene Audrey Suite couldn’t be
any better, and speaking about design, this hotel is a
mecca.
I am here to shop for great new furniture and honestly if
