A couple of weekends ago I jaunted off to my happy place; the Desert. But this time focusing on the high desert;  Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree and Pioneer Town.  If you didn't know, I once lived in these parts - La Quinta and Palm Desert - from 2006 - 2013 (before it was trendy).  But as it goes for most people, you don't always remember to explore were you live while you're there.  So this trip to the desert was spent playing tourist with my desert friends and my fiancé.  And we had such a blast!

Our first stop was Pappy and Harriets where I had, probably, the most meat filled chili ever!  Seriously, there was more meat than beans...it was good, though!  After lunch we poked around Pioneer Town and Yucca Valley looking at cool vintage shops and taking "cliche" Instagram shots.  

I packed my jewelry for this trip, trying to get in the habit of wearing my work more often.  I brought mostly earrings, which to me are the best accessory to wear when traveling.  The small ImPerfect Circle dangles are my everyday and I accidentally left them at home, but I had back-ups!  I never travel with out earrings - they immediately add a little "something" to even the most casual outfit.  

Pictured are the Flawed Teardrops, ImBlance Beams and the Rough Around the Edges Hoops.  I have not added these styles to the shop yet  - working on it - you can inquire here in the meantime!
