The Palm Springs area is famous for many things: Yoshua Tree's surreal desert landscape, consistent dry, hot weather, the annual 3-day Coachella music festival, but above all and of special interest to vintage fans, the insane amount of thrift shops. I counted about forty on google maps and not only are they designed like supermarkets, they are also ridiculously cheap! On our way to the Coachella polo field, I took writer Stephanie Lacava and model turned blogger Hanneli Mustaparta on a two hour thrift binge.
Our first stop was Angel View on Highway 111 in La Quinta. While Stephanie browsed the book shelves for silly literature, Hanneli and I dissected the clothing racks for hidden treasures. I was very well aware of Hanneli's exceptional style, but I had no idea she had such a nifty talent for discovering the best pieces in the store. It was almost magical.
This amazing jacket had no tag or label. The fabric is something between suede and felt and looks like it's hand painted with gold and pastels.
Our survival guide.
This one especially....
How very Chloe...

In the strip mall on the next block we found a Goodwill bigger than a golf court. Yes, I am exaggerating, but it was HUGE! This time we both made some fine discoveries.
