We drove all night into the desert, stopping only to gasp at the stars shining at their brightest. A weekend in Palm Springs awaited. My friend Milla always celebrates her birthday over a weekend at The ACE. The perfect setting for some Wes Andersonian antics. Moonrise Kingdom, anyone? The ACE is all mid-century summer camp vibes. We hit the pool with delicious cocktails, went into town for a little thrifting, and explored the hiking path behind the hotel while naming the cacti. Ten modeled a few looks perfectly crafted for the desert heat.
