Monday Mood: Tis the Season

Well here we are…

Before leaving on our road trip South, I posted pics of falling leaves and trees in the midst of Autumn in Vancouver.   What a difference a few days make…

Here with my friend Miranda at Spa Rosa – Miramonte (Tommy Bahama) Resort  located in Indian Wells.  More about this in a follow-up post after the New Year.

But now, in just a few more days, it will be officially winter and soon after that, a brand new year.  We always say how hard it is to believe how fast a year goes by; but then before we know it, we’re already in it.

Since being in Palm Springs for over a month now I’ve enjoyed meeting up with some old friends and a little side trip to L.A.

With my friend Natalia. Pacific Palisades, L.A.

Cocktails with Yvette at Seymour’s Speakeasy, Palm Springs.  They make the best.  Cheers!

I’m enjoying taking things a bit slower than usual and have not made too many plans (except for a few films during film fest and some events during Modernism week, followed by a couple fashion shows during Fashion Week).  These are all spread out and have to be planned in advance otherwise they sell out.

In the meantime I’m partaking in a weekly book club (over video chat), yoga, cocktails and canines… while succeeding to block out the world chaos and chatter that goes along with it. 

With friend Ramona at Sunnylands. They have free outdoor yoga every Friday in an amazing setting.

We plan to have a quiet little Christmas.  How about you?
