This week I’m in the tiny town of Avon, CO. Avon is about ten minutes outside of the famous ski resort town Vail, CO. Avon has lots of nice trees, and the prettiest river going through it. I’ve been spending my days here venturing around in the beautiful scenery, sipping iced coffee and taking photos along the way.
Just a quick side note: from now on I will be posting my outfit details at the bottom of the post on the left-hand side. So check there for all the details on today’s outfit!
The last time I was in Avon it was December and a blizzard was just about to hit. My family stopped in to pick up portabello mushroom burgers, parmesan and truffle oil fries, and hand squeezed lemonade at Lark Burger on our way back home to Phoenix after my dad’s surgery, and week long stay in Vail, CO.
Well nowadays the sun is shining, the trees are grass are oh so green, and the scenery just keeps taking my breathe away. Since the town is tiny, I know most of the area pretty well. My family has been coming here for at least five years now and every year I enjoy taking in the forrest like atmosphere, something I don’t really get to experience in Phoenix.
I felt like this outfit was perfect for going on an afternoon adventure in Avon. This pretty Mixie dress is made out of the loveliest fabric, and the cut is just right for my body type (and personal style). The whole look felt so put together once I slipped on my new Casita Blowfish Shoes sandals, and draped my European, souvenir scarf on my shoulders, in a laid back, bohemian summer kind of way, of course.
This outfit is definitely my favorite of my so-far summer looks. I see some repetition in my near future.
Today I’m going to listen, and take in the new Death Cab album, which I bought on CD and vinyl (can’t wait to listen to it on Scott and I’s record player when I get back to Phoenix), take myself on an iced coffee date, and maybe go on a walk down by the river. Oh, and mostly definitely rejoice in the fact that last night Scott and I bought his plane ticket for him to come see me in Colorado! We will be reunited on the 4th of July! My heart can hardly wait!
Have you heard the new Death Cab yet? What’s your ultimate summer outfit?
