There is no better place to be a casual wanderer than Palm Springs during Modernism Week, so be the best leisurely observer you can be and saunter your way into these parties and receptions.
Pool-side cocktail party at the West Elm House 2017
Yes, we just made a Beaudelaire reference (wrong century, we know), but the point is that we should all aspire to be flâneurs on occasion. And Modernism Week is the perfect place to be a midcentury-enthusiastic observer, leisurely lounging his or her way through poolside parties, making cocktail banter look effortless. So come on, join the party!
