Gray Malin @ The Parker [Palm Springs]

Is it just me or is every one (mainly bloggers) vacationing in Palm Springs? I'm sure it's just the Palm Springs tourist association trying to pull more visitors into their area but it's completely working on me (my husband constantly reminds me that I'm an easy mark for advertising).

Regardless, I feel like I've seen a TON of instagram posts from Palm Springs (Check out Jenny from Margo and Me's Bachelorette party and Justin Duprie's wedding via his sister Jacey (of Damsel in Dior).

I've also been stalking the "ParkerPalmSprings hashtag on IG and it provides GORGEOUS inspiration images, especially during the past few rainy/humid/muggy days here.

In previous posts I've shared my love for Gray Malin (here and here) and I'm about to share a little more. He recently released a collaboration with The Parker hotel in Palm Springs, thus marrying two of my recent favorite inspiration pieces (his work and Palm Springs). See below for a few of his awesome prints.

Valentine's Day 2015

I can tell you, somewhat embarrassingly that I have picked out nearly every Valentine's gift Jon has ever given me. In fact, I can tell you that the gift I requested this year is shown above, but you'll just have to wait and see which one it is! Regardless, I LOVE a good polyvore set, so I had to build one around this lovely (somewhat ridiculous) holiday. We're planning to treat ourselves to a nice dinner and I really can't wait for that! Happy Valentine's Day to all my lovers out there!

Gray Malin x Compartes

I've very recently fallen in love with both Gray Malin and Compartes chocolate. The bad news is that most of Gray's work is outside of my price range, but Compartes isn't! Luckily for me, they've decided to partner up to create delicious chocolate bars. I couldn't be more excited about this collaboration and I'm dying to try both. I certainly hope my husband is reading this post, since Valentine's day is just around the corner (hey babe). 

Two bars are available, Beach Sprinkles (white butterscotch chocolate with sprinkles) and Sweet Seas (milk chocolate with sea salt and waffle pieces). They're $14 each and $28 for the two pack on Gray's website (here). As an added bonus, if you buy a print of either of the photos featured on the bars ($399 and up), you'll be treated to a free bar. Pretty sure I'm gonna buy one of the prints just to nab a free bar!
