Palm Springs is a fashion oasis, from designer shops to thrift stores, it’s not hard to find a gem to bring back home. At Revivals Gallery I found a perfect pair of vintage, high waisted, light blue jeans. At the Estate Sale Company, I found this retro-fabulous pair of vintage gold and pearl earrings. Finally, I visited the Desert Hills Outlets.

These shops are sitting in the desert. So, it really does feel like you’re on a desert journey looking for treasure. At the Prada store I found these Miu Miu heels with double ankle straps in a beautiful wine leather. The only pair and in my size! (Insert beautiful music.) I love a shoe that has an expertly placed strap or buckle and I knew these would be perfect with longer skirts and rolled up pants. I slipped them on and it was instant love. Thank you to my fiancé for these perfect gifts.

So beautiful! I can’t wait to visit again and explore more.

My Shopping Strategy for Desert Outlets

• Stop by customer service and ask for a discount book (some stores offer additional discounts)
• Wear sunscreen, comfortable shoes + clothing, and a lightweight bag w/ your essentials
• Bring water and a protein-rich snack to revitalize you (there were over 100 stores)
• Map out the stores you want to visit first and which you may visit if time and energy permit—I only visited the outlets for Saks, Barneys, Prada, Jimmy Choo, and JCrew.
• Come early or else risk someone else finding your dream garment/shoe before you
• Be picky! Don’t buy anything just because it’s discounted – only buy that which you know you can’t find elsewhere and would be heartbroken leaving behind.
