I want this pillow
This weekend my Montana friend
~Lilly of the Lake~
I like to call her
That's her home in the background
got a hot deal on a flight to L.A.X.
and asked if I could pick her up...
well Palm Springs to L.A. is NOT next door
about a 2 1/2 hour drive on good day
So we conjured up a weekend to make it worth the trip
~Rodeo Drive~
whoo hoo did we have fun!!
First off on Sunday there were no meters running and we hit the jackpot
parking right in front of our restaurant
FREE
We are Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans
so we had made reservations for Sunday Brunch
at the restaurant of our favorite housewife
Lisa (2nd from right)

~Villa Blanca~
Lisa was gone to Palm Springs for the weekend..darn!
But her darling daughter Pandora and her boyfriend Jason were there running the place
and overly generous with their time for a couple of
~star struck stalkers~
We also saw Lisa's husband's best friend Martin eating at the table next to us
and he even spoke to us!
This place was so beautiful and white and french and the food was
fantastic and inexpensive...
Lisa arranged herself
Such a good and beautiful looking salad
This is the most fabulous dessert
But it was the attention we got from the staff that made our lunch..
Love, Love, Love
that place!
Now don't just take my word for it
This is Kim Kardashian's
favorite restaurant too!!
Then we hit the streets
ooh la la
a lot to gaggle over
I was in heaven at the Chanel store
This is in the Chanel elevator
Versace
Jimmy Choo
The coolest store fronts
Then to cap off the afternoon
Beverly Hills Hotel
Polo lounge
for drinks
These chandeliers are incredible
We had such a good time I want to take the
Hubs back for a weekend sometime
and maybe stay here!

ReplyDeleteOh...my gosh what a great outing. I'd love to go to Villa Blanca! Lisa was my favorite housewife of the Beverly group. Love her clothes and her house and her restaurant. Did you watch the reunion the other night....part two looks like it's going to be even better. We get the scoop on Cedric. I guess he turns out to be a fraud.

I just found your blog when I googled Villa Blanca pillows" You are right, those pillows are fantastic. Did you purchasse one or did you have to steal one? Lisa was here in Palm Springs the week you went. I did not see her but her presence ws felt. I just wish she'd open a Villa Blanca here. Love your pictures too by the way.
