Radiant Reds

Finally home from the mountains.

It has been fun ... kind of ...

I have a pair of adorable red heels

which I can't wear for 6 weeks

(worst part about knee surgery ... seriously)

but in the mean time, 

I can still obsess over red :)

Elie Saab Dress

At work I came across this flower photo,

and I immediately thought of the dress pic I had saved from before. 

High fashion meet nature ...

BEAUTIFUL!!

Summer in Vail

Today was my first and last mobile day in Vail.

I took advantage.

Strolled around the beautiful Vail Village.

Columbines were in full bloom :)

Got me feelin a little Colorado spirit.
How Beautiful is Vail?

And hey - it was a successful day.

I set in stone my life goal:

to own a shop of some sort ...

graphic design, cupcakes and cards ... whatever

and live above it in this magical place.

My place will of course be complete with 

adorable sleeping dogs on my steps

and children playing in the fountain outside ...

I'm going to conclude this post with a thank you to the Steadman Clinic.

 A preliminary thank you that is ...

if they mess me up tomorrow, I can revoke it. Remember that over there guys.

Anyways,

thank you for not only being the best orthopedic surgeons around

but for also being in Vail :)

Happy Earth Day Everyone :)

Black & Yellow, Black & Yellow

Frustration: I have been looking through countless bedding sets online, in stores, EVERYWHERE to complete my perfect apartment I will be moving into a few months from now. I was torn between black and white damask, and something floral and happy without being grandma. I learned a few things:
1. Red Poppy comforters in any type of modern style do not exist ... :(
2. Andy Warhol's daisy can not be found on any type of bedding
3. If you think you like it ... zoom in ... what's that? Nasty, army-green accents.
4. If you like it ... it's priced for the royal family.
Comforter after comforter, quilt after quilt ... I just couldn't find the perfect pattern.
AT LAST. I discovered this gem ... black and white, flowers, modern, graphic. My heart fluttered.
DISCONTINUED.
Seriously? :(
If anyone knows where I can order this Nygard Home Ascot Bedding set, please let me know!
