I couldn’t help but notice the amount
of old people walking the streets in Spain. Going shopping, buying fruits,
having coffee, or simply taking a leisurely afternoon stroll, gossiping,
through some of the busiest streets and plazas.
Women are often seen strolling hand-in-hand or arm-in-arm, whether they
be mothers, daughters, grandchildren or friends. I’ve found the same for men, proudly Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14975507613312297195noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1992408962388799130.post-88122896008885978362012-01-09T07:01:00.000-07:002012-01-09T08:48:05.118-07:00i fell in love in spainSo just like that, I wake up and suddenly, I'm wrapped up in a down jacket, surrounded by bratwursts instead of tapas, I have a mug of hot wine in my hands instead of a cold glass of tinto de verano and people are greeting me with "halo" instead of "hola."

After a month of hopping around from one destination to the next, I can honestly say that I’m glad to be at a resting point where I can take a breather. I need a vacation from my vacation.

And the scarf-addict that I am, I found this royal blue snood from Golden Hook which I fell completely in love with the color. I want one exactly like this... or maybe I could learn how to knit so I can knit myself a variety of snoods in countless colors.

In December, I was given the opportunity to be involved with Fashion Denver's Holiday Fashion Market. Thanks to Brandi, aka Dreamer/Doer/Rockstar, she designated me as the Fashion Coordinator for the fashion show piece of the event. She gave me a few racks full of beautiful creations by local designers andAngelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14975507613312297195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1992408962388799130.post-59030113553079942152009-12-25T13:35:00.003-07:002009-12-25T13:38:21.174-07:00merry christmas

Which is why I'm glad I got an invite from D to check out one of her favorite Denver-based musician, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Wheel.

Compliments of the Street Etiquette. Love the leather jacket. Love the zippers on the jacket. Love the plaid button-up. Love the hat, scarf and fingerless gloves combo. In my opinion, this is a great look for that hip, urban guy.

I am crazy about food and admittedly have a shameful/less love affair with anything sweet. If it has sugar, you name it, I eat it. And the holidays, in particular, bring out that monster in my belly that wants to gobble up anything I see. It doesn't help that my family's appetite for exceptional cooking always brings out an impressive feast on the dining table.

I'm sure many of you remember or maybe even owned a pair of the old school Reebok Pumps. Well Reebok's 20th Anniversary of an iconic shoe is soon approaching and to help celebrate that is the debut of their Pump 20 Project. They have collaborated with 20 sneaker shops from around the world to bring back an old school classic to a new school style with their own take and vision using colors, Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14975507613312297195noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1992408962388799130.post-63636175601109922042009-11-17T11:31:00.002-07:002009-11-17T13:43:18.365-07:00eye candy :: mango's spring/summer 2010 collectionI am a big fan of Mango's Spring/Summer 2010 Collection showcased in this fashion show.

There is something so captivating and alluring about photos (or paintings) of women. Intentional or not, a woman confident in her own skin will exude a sensual and tastefully provocative quality in the photograph and painting.

A really neat story behind the birth of ModCloth. The founder fell in love with vintage fashion and thrifting and created a site to sell her finds during her early college years.

My first thought is - and perhaps most importantly - I want that! Or, how and where can I buy that?! It's a pretty natural thought process for me, actually, which isn't always a good thing.

My first recollection of when I fell in love was when my Grandma took me to the Malacanang Palace in the Philippines, home of the infamous Imelda Marcos. We went on a guided tour of the palace and out of the whole experience, the only memory I have, till this day, was the vast display of her shoe collection. There were wall-to-wall, floor to ceiling displays of her beloved Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14975507613312297195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1992408962388799130.post-88222793581342272492009-10-21T08:41:00.001-06:002009-10-28T20:15:04.488-06:00dancing queen
