At Home With Kelly Golightly
Kelly wears our Britt Linen Shirt,Ivy Gingham Pants, Concetta Suede Loafers, and Aila Tote.
Tastemaker, design expert and style Mayor of Palm Springs (a title that we created and that couldn’t be more true) Kelly Lee of Kelly Golightly invited us inside her home for a sweet Palm Springs rendezvous.
Kelly’s home—vibrantly bold—is awash in Caribbean ocean teal, parrot green patterns, and a candy-colored pink door the epitome of a sweet welcome.
Kelly’s style journey began when she was lifestyle editor and fashion columnist at AOL before becoming a sought-after style expert, creative director, social media influencer, and tastemaker topping Vanity Fair’s Best Dressed List.
Below, Kelly shares a look inside her Palm Springs home, her favorite spring styles, and the insider’s guide to all things Palm Springs.

3. FAVORITE HOTEL:
The Parker Palm Springs for an iconic Palm Springs experience.

11. THREE TIPS TO PALM SPRINGS'IFYING YOUR HOME:
Mix vintage with new, always have a chic ice bucket and cocktail glasses on hand (I pick up the best vintage glassware at the thrift stores in PS), and a resort-style patio umbrella for poolside! Bonus: You can never have too many bar carts!
