Elk in Estes Park on our Christmas Drive

Elk in Estes Park on our Christmas Drive

 

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas with friends and family! I had a great time in Atlanta and can’t wait to ring in the 2013 back in Colorado. For those of you still enjoying your vacation here are my links for the week!

  • New Obsession Quora, ask any question get a real answer. This is different than Yahoo Answers, the questions are typically more thought provoking like, What is like to Experience X, or what 5 albums should every teenage girl listen to. The people answering the questions are book worms either – Ashton Kutcher  and Mark Cuban are active users.
  • This weekend I will be heading to Vail for New Year! I can’t wait to ski and catch up with old friends. Dreaming of snow and mountains inspired this Pinterest board of all things Colorado, well the West in general
  • Design Sponge is a daily read of mine and I just love this post on Microwave Cooking. This book would have been great in college!
  • Christmas might be over but we still have The New Years – this drink sounds like the perfect addition to our New Years Brunch
  • I really don’t do well in the cold – so I wear tights under my jeans (these are the best) and never leave the house with out my Ugg Earmuffs

Happy Wednesday + Links

Howard Fonda, Not Inside

I stumbled across Art Space the other day and have spent time perusing its amazing catalog.

I know its still November but we are having a  christmas party is this weekend! I plan to be making these and these!  And since our theme is “Christmas Morning” I will be wearing this!

Has anyone listened to Philip Philips debut album, pretty sure he is Dave Mathrews TWIN- no joke exact same voice. I mean even his album title “The World From This Side of The Moon“… Under the Table and Dreaming or Away From the World

The search is on for the perfect holiday dress too – I love this casual but backless dress from Free People – for the formal occasions this Nicole Miller Dress is nock out

Happy Thanksgiving and Links

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!! I hope you all enjoy a day of family, football and full tummies. I am so very thankful for everyone in my life and all that I have been blessed with. I honestly could not be happier about where my life is today. 2012 has been a whirlwind of change (long distance dating, moving to a new city, starting a new job and this blog!) So I am looking forward to an exciting yet more settled 2013! Plus I already have 6 weddings on tap of the year and am so excited for each of them, and all the new dresses…

I am thinking of using this gold hair tie to glam up my ponytails
