My First Time Visiting Palm Springs
Hello Palm Springs! Dress: Hadley Dress Endless sunshine, pool side lounging and picture perfect scenery are all wrapped up into Palm Springs! It was my first time visiting and I had the pleasure of working with Ramy Brook and it was such a fun trip and experience.
