Guilt

We went to see Book of Mormon...I felt all vintage Broadway!

 Mike rocked the fedora...

 So excited I forgot to take any pictures of the group!

Today's Ensemble

...was promptly photobombed by the hairy wonder dog.  It was a great outfit though.

Gogh with the Flow

We stopped for brunch at Sam's No. 3 for breakfast before heading to the DAM for the Van Gogh exhibit. 

Unfortunately you couldn't take any photos, as there were several pieces I have no idea could be attributed to this artist.  Throughout the headphone-guided tour we learned quite a few interesting little tidbits.  By the end, when the infamous ear hadn't been mentioned I thought perhaps I was confusing the artist with someone else.

But no, with great talent often comes massive amounts of issues.  And I almost, almost, bought the rubber ear keychain in fond memory of the day.

Old

We spent over two hours in the Flagship REI store downtown before heading to The Curtis for our birthday extravaganza, including the Gogh with the Flow package courtesy of Mike's awesomeness.  That meant Starry Night red wine and "Dutch" chocolates waited for us when we checked it; I'm all about themes.

We also sported two of our new Goorin Bros hats we scored on sale.  They have some GREAT deals on hats on their website!  We might've splurged...

 He cleans up sooooooo well!

 I heart $5 Target tights.

Larimer Square at Christmas!

I finally got to try Bistro Vendome for dinner.  I think I'll stick to breakfast/lunch.  That cheese plate was just stupid.  But the food was, as always, excellent.

We ended the evening at The Corner Office which is (conveniently) located on the first floor of The Curtis.  Makes walking to the room to throw the coats in there a breeze!  Also, their late-night happy hour (9pm on  a Saturday?!  Really?!) is incredible!

A Spot of Afternoon Tea...Party

The instructions were "As close to a Stepford Wife as you can get."  Not a bad deal.

 Loved it!

BFF BBQ

Yet another epic pot luck at the Argueta's.  Love this girl.  It's funny, despite feeling highly unsocial (and slightly psychotic), I've been nothing but.  It figures.

Also, that used to be my skirt.  We clean out our closets and switch quite a bit!

Dark side of the sun

The problem with family vacations is most definitely the end.

 Long story...

 No one can plan on looking this good (nor coordinated).

 We smile through our pain of having to leave...

But I know two puppies who will be thrilled to see their people.

Twenties-Something

It's kinda flapper meet the 1950s.

Let's face it, I designed it around the hat (and my regional manager has now resorted to wishing me a happy holiday - which holiday depending on what color sweater I wear).  Outstanding.

Hat - Goodwill
Blouse / Sweater / skirt - ARC / FoCo thrift
Tights - Target
Shoes - thrifted (Antonio Melani - luvs them)
Belt - Old Navy
Pearls - high school!  (I keep everything)

Happy Heart Day

V-Day ensemb complete with red tights and a home-made Valentines necklace made by Mimi!  Despite being teased the entire day by all the guys I work with, it was totally worth it!

Team Denver

Group photog in front of the Taco Bell (formerly the PAG) building.  West Market Area meeting.  Always a good time (although it is way too hot in California, especially considering it's January).

That is a lot of blue button down.  Just sayin'.
