Kate Spade boutique signs in Palm Springs

I have fun following a people and brands on Twitter. I especially love it when someone is sending bite-sized updates about an event as it happens or a project as it is in the works. Kate Spade New York is one of my favorite brands and I loved reading about the process of setting up the boutique in Palm Springs as it was happening.

The minute I walked in I felt like I was in a favorite friend's house.

This past weekend, I had a chance to see the result of the hours of searching Palm Springs vintage and thrift stores. I checked out the Kate Spade boutique on El Paseo (technically in Palm Desert, but just a few minutes from Palm Springs).
The store is a marvel. I wanted to take it in as a whole as well as investigate all the details simultaneously. Since I knew that trying to do both things at once would make me hyperventilate, I slowed down and investigated the store.

The use of color and the incorporation of furniture, props, and merchandise were completely engaging. I felt like I had stumbled into the apartment of my best friend who was also my style icon and we could chat for hours and try on clothes. I resisted that temptation, lest I cause alarm in the store and annoy the staff.

The scale of the wall paper makes the modern lights seem delicate.

Even if you have a Kate Spade boutique where you live or if you have the website bookmarked and visit daily, it is worth it to visit the Palm Springs store. The incorporation of local pieces adds a lot to the store. It is a subtle way to make the brand which has New York in its name, relevant in Palm Springs. The edited styling is inspired and gave me a few things to think about as I mull over some interior design updates for my own home.
