Instagrammable Palm Springs Spot: The Monkey Tree Hotel

I discovered one of the most Instagrammable spots in Palm Springs I'm excited to share with you in hopes the next time you visit the area you can stay here. The Monkey Tree Hotel was kind to invite us to stay, courtesy of Palm Spring Preferred Small Hotels which is a collection of independent inns, villas and resorts. They are hip, modern, and you can find one that fits your specific needs - check out more hotels here. We picked my birthday weekend because of weather and well, can you think of a better time? I can't wait to show you around the resort and share some cool finds as well as share some of the latest collection of fall from one of my favorite, near and dear to my heart brands, Lilly Pulitzer - because when I think resort, palm trees, and Palm Springs, it's always Lilly attire.

Comfortable Sandals: Light as a Feather Sandals

Have you ever loved something so much that when you see someone, you remove it off your body and insist they try it on? I have been doing that a lot lately  (I have only done this once to a stranger lol) and when my friends try on my FitFlops they are like, Wow these are the most comfortable sandals and shoes they mold to your feet!

Life Lately: Anne with an E and adulting

Benjamin was gone for a few days last week and friends often ask if I ever get bored when he's gone. Truthfully, it's a great time for me to be lazy and productive at the same time. I binge watch a lot, work a lot, and I get super messy when he's gone and then I clean up my tornado mess right before he gets home! It's the strangest thing, that I get more done ...

House Plan Updates

House expansion plans are pretty much done and being finalized! Yay! We now have a large family room with a full bath and an area for a Murphy bed. I originally wanted just a powder room but then it made sense that if guests were coming, they should have a shower. This bathroom is going to be so pretty I'm going to be a little jelly it's not my daily bathroom.

Best Summer Hats – My 5 Favorite Straw Hats

Since I was little, I got used to seeing my parents wearing a hat. They wear hats all the time – and I mean ALL THE TIME. Whenever they step out of the house, they wear one, together! They serve at church every Sunday for the past 15 years wearing a special hat, some are fedora hats, others have themes if it’s a holiday, but always, a hat. They have over 100 hats but today I decided to share with you just 5 of my best summer hats with you.

Summer Tie Front Dress

Two things I learned while in Costa Mesa visiting Melayne.- I need to stop by Goodwill more often, and the Dollar Store is underrated. I also finished a book on my Kindle (really iPhone so the Kindle app) called The Year of Less: How I Stopped Shopping, Gave Away My Belongings, and Discovered Life Is Worth More Than Anything You Can Buy in a Store. The kindle edition is just $2 ...

  • 🌧 day. Cleaning up the back porch to get a quick photo then back inside to work with Netflix in the background. 🥰 What are you up to today? #welcometodianasgarden #rainday #garden #fromwhereistand
  • We're obviously thrilled with our expansion project being complete, but we didn't get here without a lot of patience and learning! ⠀ .⠀ Our GC @trinityhomesaz was incredible (you should hire him) and today on the blog I'm talking about HOW we got started with the expansion (permits, quotes, space planner, saving money) and also what we LEARNED and the HARD stuff about the process of going through a big project like it. ⠀ .⠀ I hope this post helps guide you for a future project and prepares you mentally for what's ahead. ⠀ .⠀ It's worth it of course! ✨ Link in bio.
  • Another time lapse of a removable wallpaper install in the new closet - what pattern did we choose to match the 🍋 print shelf liner? ✨ ⠀ .⠀ At the end I decide to become a dare devil because, when your ladder isn’t tall enough....🤷🏻‍♀️⠀ .⠀ Time to style it and then I’ll share a reveal. I feel like we’re still working on different areas before things will be 💯 done so I can really show you. Design is never done and my brain will tidy up one room to 90% then I’m off to another. 🧠 💥 .⠀ I wanted to mention this is my fourth removable wallpaper experience with @livetteswallpaper and it is the BEST quality. It has a slight texture (the good kind that looks like real wallpaper), doesn’t rip, is extremely sticky and high quality. Not to mention so many trendy and classic patterns and colors that make me so happy which is why I have 4 walls covered in her wallpaper, I highly recommend her wallpaper for any projects you have to add some personality even in small spaces. Do you have wallpaper in your home, if so where?
  • When Pinterest really does help with great ideas. 👠 This is in our laundry room. Next up - making this shoe area bigger aka taller because well, the shoe collection is growing. #pinterestinspired #mudroom #dianaelizabethhome
  • Had an incredible day catching up with with @beautybylizzymarsh as she made my face 💄 so I could get ready for 📷 time with one of my favorites, the talented @autumnrenaephoto. 🖤 We shot with no agenda or expectations. I have been overwhelmed lately, and this was a little bit of time for us to create for us - sometimes that’s what creatives need, a break to reconnect and shot for yourself. Thanks @autumnrenaephoto for always bringing out the best side of me and allowing me to “reset” in front of your camera. I needed it as much as you 😘❤️
  • Continuing the Creating Bonds Series - How to Create a Group of Friends 👭👭👭. I have always had groups since high school and through different parts of my life. It doesn’t have to be large, it can be as small as 3 and as large as 6 (in my case) or larger! It takes time but there is a great opportunity in starting a group after a shared common interest or event. This girl gang of mine (1 gal not pictured) was created from pageantry! I share a few more of my groups and what we do to stay close. One group I’ve had for 15 years! Friendships are priceless and when you find the right people they become your support group and family ❤️Link in bio.
