Colorado 2010 (part 2)

Ahh... I have been dreaming of going to Red Rocks Amphitheatre for years.

As a HUGE music lover, I have watched video after video of live shows from there.

The acoustics and scenery can't be beat.

Well, it is March, and shows don't start until the end of spring. Boo!

But I was totally stoked to just go walk around.

I could not leave without running down and standing on the stage. The same spot as legends such as the Beatles, the Grateful Dead, Phish, Bjork, Incubus, Allman Brothers, Ben Harper, etc...

Can I also mention... people in Denver know how to make some damn good veggie food. I may have stopped at this place once (or twice).

Mmmm... BBQ tempeh burgers and vegan treat heaven. I could have seriously eaten here every day.

Thanks to my sister who was kind enough to sneak into the bathroom to take a picture of this grafitti. Even the grafitti is vegetarian. :)

Colorado 2010 (part 1)

Well, vacation started out slightly less than ideal.

Delayed flights, cancellations, extra money, and a few minor panic attacks.

But once I finally made it to Colorado, I was completely relaxed and ready for some good mountain time.

My sister lives in downtown Denver in this cute apartment complex.

If I lived there, I would definitely spend some quality book reading time in this courtyard.

Ahh... the rocks, the mountains, the blue sky.

We spent the first day exploring Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park, and Boulder.

Denver is pretty chill, but I fell in LOVE with Boulder.

Thanks to my sis who acted as chauffer all weekend. I constantly shouted at her to STOP so I could get out for some good photo- op time.

Spring, are you here yet?

My favorite thing about Springtime (besides lack of snow)

is the opportunity to go shopping for a new season.

Out with the cold, in with the SUN.

These are just a few items from my Spring wish list.

Time for COLOR.

teal dress from Anthropologie, eyelet booties from Free People,

crystal ring by Sarah Lewis,

paint swatch dress from Forever 21, American Heritage sandals from Nine West,

papier mache bracelet from National Geographic catalog

whew...

For the first time EVER,

I actually sat through an entire awards show last night

(and enjoyed myself).

I'm pretty sure my friends are laughing right now,

because I don't even watch movies.

It's true, I haven't seen any of the movies that won awards last night.

But, we all know the only reason to watch the Oscars is for the fashion.

I happened to stumble upon a picture of my two favorite dresses.
(Carey Mulligan and Maggie Gyllenhal)

Maggie's dress won hands down in my book.

quiz time

Who knows what all these celebs have in common???

give up?

they are all VEGAN.

who knew? (well, I knew a few.)

I was doing a little research today

when I came across a long list of celebrity vegetarian/vegans.

Sometimes I feel like I'm part of a minority group,

but it's nice to see all the other tofu lovers of the world.

rockstar weddings

Ok, so I have a total obsession with wedding blogs. Mainly, I think, because they combine all of my favorite things: fashion, flowers, decorations, and loads of pretty things.

I love that people are starting to branch off from the traditional matchy-matchy looks. Do the bridesmaids dresses really have to match the mens bow ties, that also happen to match the tablecloths? I think not. (and I really hope not.)

How awesome is this bridesmaids' lineup? To my girls out there... if I EVER get married, you all better glam it up and stand by my side.

*I would LOVE to have outfit #2 and #8 in my closet right now!*

Seriously, where can I find that black lace dress?

I can't stop staring at these pillows.

I've already decided how I could work each one into a different room of the house.

Plus, wouldn't these make totally rad tee shirt designs???

I may have to take a look at my fabric scraps to see what I can up with.

There's a great entry over at Make Under my Life today. If your a crafter/artist, she's got some wonderful encouragement. Take a peek at it...

I want to run my own business, I want to inspire people, I want to be creative, I want to promote living creatively and authentically, I want freedom from “the man”….I could go on forever. And it is fine for me to sit and want all of those things until my little heart is content but if I don’t take any action I will never get anywhere close to living my dream life. Living creatively means having to say that I am responsible for everything in my life. It means that I am the only one who can create my success and make my dreams happen. It means that I need to start NOW.

gardens in pavement.

Imagine what a beautiful garden that Baltimore City could be.

Pete Dungey plants mini gardens in potholes across Britain.

"If we planted one of those in every hole, it would be like a forest in the road."

If I had a treehouse,

I'd store my books on this,

and I'd put my flowers in these.
