Spring fevaah!

Wow it feels like spring today! It is bright and sunny, in the low 60's, snow is melting and birds are singing outside. It definitely gives me some spring fever, or spring fevaah because that sounds better to me.

Spring in Colorado makes me think of hiking- lots and lots of awesome hiking opportunities out here. With the snow melting a bit it will be much easier to just get out and go on a whim. Spring in Colorado also makes me think of my other outdoor passion- visiting adorable mountain towns! My idea of a perfect day is starting a hike in the morning with Chris and the dog, walking around taking in the fresh mountain air for 5-6 miles, and then coming back and exploring a little mountain town near our hike. There are so many little towns to explore with cafes, breweries (yes!), and shops- it is a lot of fun.

Do you have the fevaah?!

Dreaming of the mountains

It's almost spring here in Colorado (well, I guess we'll see what March brings- but it's been warm the last week or so!).  And though I am really excited for warmer weather- easier hikes, more time outside, walking around Boulder, brighter clothes- I still find myself dreaming about the mountains and trying to plan a great escape into the snow! At least I can dream of this...


Coffee overlooking the mountains on a cold morning.


Awesome fire pit to keep your warm with an amazing mountain view.


A little ski town- anywhere. Kind of reminds me of Vail.


Gorgeous winter dining- looks so cozy. Just need to wrap up in a warm blanket and drink something hot.


Mountain happy hour

Our own little Mountain Town? Chris and I went to Grand Lake, CO this summer and it was awesome. I simply love this little town. It is a cute small town, very "Americana", with a board walk, shops, a small brewery, all sitting on a huge lake with mountains surrounding it. It is right outside of Rocky Mountain National Park. I want us to get a condo there- I really fell in love with the place.

Here we are in Grand Lake...


Happy to be there


Out for a run- check out the view! That is "mount baldy" in the distance.


Hanging by the lake

Grand Lake boasts having the best fire works display in Colorado. We witnessed it first hand as we spend 4th of July weekend there. It was beautiful- watching fireworks over the mountain lake as we laid on the beach. It was so dark, and the fireworks were reflecting off the water that you couldn't tell where the sky ended and the lake began. We want to go back every year for 4th of July

Sunday Morning

Good Morning!

Girl's wine night last night was fun. We tried to go to Sushi Den on my fave South Pearl Street which was packed as usual. So instead we popped over Black Pearl and got a prime bar spot before the crowds came. We had great wine and some yummy tappas including buckwheat gnocci which was amazing.

Chris made some yummy almond poppyseed muffins this morning from my vegan baking cook book- they are good! Great way to start a Sunday.


We ate some before I could snap this picture- woops! But look at how they popped up- yum

With coffee- delish

Colors

I've seen so many striking color combinations lately that I just LOVE!



Blue and Orange- beautiful!



Royal blue and mauve- awesome


Green and aqua marine- love


Yellow and light blue! Might be my favorite.


Black and gold- very wintery. But I still had to give it a shout out because I think it's so simple and beautiful.

Yes my friends, I am clothing obsessed. And no I really would have no place to wear any of this (I work from home in yoga clothes!). But a girl can dream, can't she??

Saturday!

Happy Saturday! What to do today? Relaxation is on the agenda. This little guy does not like the idea of relaxation. He's like, "Mom, Dad!! You're both home! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! We NEED to go play!!" He is always super psyched about life. And is not too happy about us lazing around reading. We thought about snowshoeing today or skiing, but chilling sounded better.

Jake wants to play

I think I'll do some yoga, maybe workout, definitely peruse pinterest (as usual) and read these new blogs I found like Nat the fat rat which is ADORABLE! And later meeting a friend for wine- yes!

So, sorry Jake, but this is more what I had in mind for Saturday:

A little yoga...



That's me! Doing a little yoga at Red Rocks with a friend.

Looking at pretty pictures online of things I can't afford...


Love this dress! And the white blazer



Loads of fun jewelry and bright nails- spring time!


Aztec patterned clutch


Funky Necklace



 
 Cute blue dress- messified outfit


And then end the day with some wine and girl talk....

Design- The New Bohemians


I love everything about this home design. It's by Amber Lewis of Amber Interiors. There is lots of white, light, and open spaces, with great patterns like ikat sprinkled through out. I loved clicking through each room on CasaSugar

Pink and Blue

I love the bright color, different color nails, and chunky jewelry. This outfit looks ready for early spring- I am too!
