The past week I’ve been in Glenwood Springs (CO) taking in the sights and the overall loveliness of the town. One of my favorite places in GS is the Hotel Colorado. Built in the late 1800’s, the Hotel Colorado has been the stomping grounds for United States presidents (Hello, Teddy Roosevelt!), and also some of the West’s most famous inhabitants (Hello, the unsinkable Molly Brown).
The hotel itself has a gorgeous grounds, full of pretty flowers, historic buildings, and relics from the past. My favorite part of the hotel is definitely the flower garden in the front, I just love it’s breathtaking flowers, and trees.
On this particular afternoon it was pretty hot in Glenwood, so I opted to put my hair in a top knot. I usually like to keep my hair low (side buns), but thought it would be fun to follow along in this summer trend. I kind of like the way it turned out, so I think I will be going back to this hairstyle again. On a side note, my mom wore her hair this way the entire time I was growing up, and since I look so much like my mom, it’s safe to say that I really look like her circa 1993. Oh my!
I was positively smitten with these gorgeous flowers!
Last week I received the most amazing package from Moorea Seal. Inside was one of her gypsy crowns, as well as a pair of arrow earrings, and a sweet note and gift from the sweetest friend. I was overwhelmed at the kindness of Diana from Our City Lights who gave me one of Moorea’s beautiful mini book necklaces as a birthday/graduation present. I had been coveting over this gorgeous necklace for so long, so it was an absolute amazing surprise when I saw it placed nicely in the cutest box. So thank you, Diana, for my beautiful necklace (and for being one of the kindness, sweetest people I know). I promise I will cherish it forever.
These roses were just too beautiful! I’m not usually a rose person, but these were just stunning, and organic looking.
Today I will be spending one last day in Glenwood Springs. I’m hoping to go to the local cupcake and lingerie shop (not kidding, it’s all in one) and pick up a cupcake. I’m also hoping to snap a few outfit photos before I leave this beautiful place.
