Pretty in Pink: Palm Springs Edition

NEWSLETTER ARCHIVE – SEPTEMBER 2025 | View Email
One scroll through Everything Palm Springs and it’s clear that Palm Springs pink is pretty much my entire brand! I am definitely a Barbie girl living in a Barbie world. So for this week’s newsletter, I couldn’t resist putting together a little guide to the Valley’s blush-toned best—think lattes, dinners, dreamy stays, and of course, a photo op or two. Read on for a few of my favorite spots to soak up a pop of pink in the desert!

Your pink journey starts the moment you land at PSP, thanks to the airport’s new The Pink Door coffee shop. Decked out with blush accents and playful nods to Palm Springs’ most Insta-famous house, Villa Sierra, it’s a charmingly rosy welcome to the desert. Bonus: The café serves up delicious brews from local favorite Joshua Tree Coffee, whose blush packaging is perfectly on-brand! Consider this your first sip of Palm Springs pink!

Step into 1930s bliss at The Mesa Bungalows—a bloomy-hued oasis once owned by Josh Evans, son of actress Ali MacGraw and mega-producer Robert Evans, and later fully renovated by F1 racer Jenson Button and his interior designer wife, Brittny. Inspired by the ethereal hues of The Beverly Hills Hotel and Jayne Mansfield’s Pink Palace, the property now serves as a dreamy vacation rental. Draped in romantic pastels and chic décor, the abode makes for both a sublime retreat and Insta-worthy backdrop. (Photo courtesy of The Mesa Bungalows.)

More is more at this Palm Springs watering hole! The brainchild of Trixie Mattel of RuPaul’s Drag Racefame, the blushy drinkery feels like a Pepto Bismol fever dream come to life—and I say that with 100% adoration. From cheeky patterns and blushy bricks to fuchsia furnishings and pastel accents galore, it’s over the top and perfectly pink in all the right ways. The cherry on top? The food—upscale comfort fare—and drinks—think whimsically named cocktails like Queen of Hearts and Pink Flamingo—are absolutely delish. (*Reservations required.)

Drenched in pinks of every shade, this chic eatery is easily one of the Valley’s most Instagrammable. The work of famed interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, the space draws inspiration from the desert’s midcentury-era social clubs, as well as the lush gardens of Marrakesh’s legendary La Mamounia hotel. And the fare? Just as fab as the ambiance! Go for the endless photo ops; stay for the Green Chile Chicken Tacos and the Roasted Turkey Club (my two favorite entrees)—and be sure to wash it all down with a 50 Shades of Pink cocktail!

Possibly the most famous door in the Valley (and maybe all of Instagram), no pink-in-Palm-Springs itinerary is complete without a stop at That Pink Door, aka Villa Sierra. The swank pad is so Everything Palm Springs-coded, its visage graces both my homepage and my business cards! Swing by for the ultimate photo-op—or fully immerse yourself in its grandeur with an overnight stay! Once owned by actor Telly Savalas, the glam estate currently operates as a vacation rental. This is Palm Springs pink at its most ico

Thanks for Reading . . .

. . . and for celebrating the Valley in all its rosy shades with me! If your Palm Springs story is ready for its next chapter, I’d love to help you find a desert paradise of your own—pink door optional.
