Mid Century + British Columbia =Splendid July.

July has been a whirlwind of a month so far. Right now I'm up in British Columbia tooling around the beautiful countryside with great friends. This past weekend we took a look and tour around the amazing Terravista Vineyards which is located on the Naramata Bench halfway between Penticton + Naramata. Beautiful countryside, and amazing wine! If you're ever in the area, definitely take the tour.

HUGE bonus points was this:

The Mondrian Inspired Tasting area -- and there just happened to be a vintage Mustang parked in front when we showed up, almost as if to welcome the Palm Springs posse! 

Road Trip+Purchase+Marfa, Texas+Prada. Not in That Order.

Almost to Palm Springs! 

I picked up my new car (To tow my Airstreams- not my clients!)  in Houston and ended up driving through Marfa, Texas today. 

I had to make a stop at the art installation "Prada Marfa" and photograph 

my new Tonka Toy! 

Btw, Texas is VERY flat. 

Very. 

Road Trip: Making my Back to Palm Springs

But first, I had to make my way down to Texas to pick up a new car to haul My Airstreams. 

Of course a car big enough was in Texas. What other state would have them 

so readily available and affordable? 

On a side note: This has to be one of my favorite photo bombings, courtesy of 

Grandma from Central Casting. Discreet, yet obvious. 

ROAD TRIP! Continued: All Suited Up!

I've done the Oldsmobile Car Show in Michigan

  

I paid the Family in Ohio a visit.  

My next stop: A Wedding in Baltimore, Maryland of course!  

I realized it was time to get suited up!

I like to call this: 

"A Different Kind of Drag"

Between the weather in Palm Springs and working on the airstreams there's not a lot of room for the suit and tie look. 

I think there's a little wink here to 

Film Director (and Baltimore's  own) John Waters, no? 

Road Trip!

Hello Tucson!  

I love going on Road trips, and one of the easiest and swiftest is from 

Palm Springs to Tucson, Arizona 

The city has some incredible and pedigreed mid-century homes, as well as important buildings that are steeped in historical signifigance.

and

I would be remiss not to mention the NEON!

Do you see this great neon?! 

These are along the historic Miracle Mile. Click here for more info on their preservation 

efforts + organized walks through the area

Isn't this terrific?

If you ever find yourself in Tucson, do set aside some time to take tours and learn about their incredible mid-century history.
