Shopping Find: Shop Ruche

I just discovered Shop Ruche and can’t get enough. It’s like Anthropologie but with out the big price tag. Seriously almost everything is under $100. Lots of great brights and florals for spring, plus a big selection of bags and jewelry. I also adore this turquoise flower necklace and these pastel earrings.

Boho Bags for Spring

I bought my first “Boho” bag on 10th grade Spring Break in Mexico with my best friend Emily. That bag has been to 100’s of shows, broken 3 times and been patched up quite a few times as well. You can see a pic of the bag on my Instagram @bluemountainbel. I think it looks quite loved, my mom thinks it looks dirty. She often tries to replace it with another “boho” looking bag, but I still love it.

This season lots of Boho inspired bags are popping up, with aztec and Navajo inspired design and embroidering and fringe… here are some of my favorites

Jam of the Week: The Lovett Years

Let’s start this morning off with some old school jams. A while ago a friend asked me to make a “Middle School” playlist, but to confine myself to just 3 years of music was hard. Instead I made “The Lovett Years” (Lovett being my school K-12th) So here it is, the best and the worst of about 1990-2006.

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday! This week has been crazy busy and I am looking forward to a low key weekend. I am participating in Habitat for Humanity on Saturday to fulfil my Junior League hours. If you have ever been intested in joining the Junior League of Denver I totally sugest you do it. It’s super laid back league compared to other leagues in the south, but also super involved in the community. After Habbitat, the BF and I are going to see his favorite bluegrass artist Larry Keel and his oh so talented wife Jenny, play with Jeff Austin at the Bluebird. What are your plans for the weekend??

  • The image above is from Martin Kilmas. He paints with sound… yeah sound. He basically adds paint to a screen, then blast music into a speaker bellow and captures the paint dancing to the music. I found his art on pinterest, which lead me to this blog, and to this article about his art, pretty fascinating stuff.
  • I stumbled across this georgeous food blog, Top With Cinnamon. Her recipies look delicious. But her photography is amazing, this girl is super talented and only 17. Yep 17, I couldn’t believe it. Even if you don’t like to cook this is a great blog to follow just for her photography.
  • This week the girls of Vmac+Cheese and Meg Biram Blog launched The B Bar. If you have ever been interested in starting a blog, The B Bar can teach you everything you need to know. These girls are wildly successful both in their blogs and consulting business, so they really know their stuff.  I have only skimmed the “cocktails” I downloaded so far and each one is beautifully put together and chock-full of information. Learn more here.

Shopping Find – Gorjana & Griffin

I found Gorjana & Griffin on Monday. And I am obsessed. Not only do I love everything this husband and wife duo design, I love them! Take the time to read their story and all of their causes. Gorjana is amazing leather handbags and beautiful jewelry. So many bracelets your arm candy collection is now complete. I  love the purple wrap bracelets and the Dafinine Wrap would look great next to my Michael Kors Watch. Griffin is men’s line featuring jewelry, bags and tech accessories, like the tan leather iPad case bellow.  I also really like the (sold out) duffel bags… its only been a few days and I can’t get enough of Gorjana & Griffin.
