Indian Fall.

Some great photos to indulge in:

 

Check out Jim LePage's work:

 

And here's a thought provoking post concerning K-Cups and Seven jeans.

Feeling sporadically focused today. I may post some designs I've been working on in class. Sitting down at my computer with a cup of tea and inspiration is one thing I will never take for granted.

Explains so much of what I love about life and miss terribly while living in LA.

Yayaya.

Summer of TOMS.

Me and my pair of TOMS have traversed the states this summer. From California, to Colorado, to Virginia, back to Colorado, I never go anywhere without them. (so. comfortable.)

1. Fox Run Park in Monument, Colorado.
2. Black Canyon National Park, Colorado.
3. Monument, Colorado.
4. Hiking near Denver. (Yes, I even hike in them.)

P.S. in care you're wondering, they are the blue cord classics. No longer for sale.

Exceptional moment.

I treasure these.

Clyde's.

In Georgetown.

Summer so far.

1. The park on the day I got back home to beautiful Colorado.
2. Hiking on a trip that will not be forgotten any time soon.
3. Food of champions (especially while camping).
4. Sage tea and baclava at a restaurant called The Heart of Jerusalem in Colorado Springs.
5. Yerba maté at my all-time favorite Wisdom Tea House.
6. Denver Botanical Gardens. What a breath of fresh air.
7. Red Rocks Amphitheater for a movie.
8. Coloradoan to the core.
9. Lounging in the park on a Friday afternoon.
10. Smoothies and reading at Whole Foods for lunch.
11. Mountains, mountains, mountains. Can't get enough.

Tea, books, coffee, cats.

Tea, Coffee, and Books is one of the most escapist tumblrs I have ever seen... and I love it. Soft, nice quality photos of our worldwide symbol of relaxation and comfort. Along with some cats, because what's better than having a cat cuddle on your lap while you're escaping into an author's mind? Which leads me to the next tumblr of the week: dreamcats. Entirely dedicated to cats in soft-focus, hence the dreamy effect of film.

A dose of awe.

Photos from Nat Geo's annual photo contest. These are beautifullll.

Camping.

I went to REI yesterday, the flagship store in a restored 1901 Denver Tramway building, and breathed in the outdoor adventure air. Just a glimpse of a backpack and hiking boots gets me all excited!

Fresh air. The sounds of nature. Starry skies. Dirt. Grass. Trees. I'm ready.

This just made me laugh.

Republica Dominicana. Mi corazon.

I'm not going to put all of the photos on here because of the avalanche that is the rest of my semester, but my flickr page has them all so check em out and leave comments!

And to read more about what happened on the trip, here is our class blog with our updates and reflections during the trip. So happy to share this experience with you!

Teaser.

Love.

I don't have my own computer right now, so I can only do a little teaser, but here are some beauties to wet your appetite.
