Did the "puppy pics" in the caption make you read this post? If so, I have no shame :) This may be old news, but a few weeks ago the fam and I went to Aspen for a nice relaxing weekend. Not to mention, our adorable little pup, Bear, was featured in a fashion show! I wanted to share some pics of this outfit I wore that I absolutely loved, plus a little guide on what to do in Aspen should you make a little trip that way!

See more of my outfit pics and Bear's fashion show look below:

Bear was entered into the 'Most Adorable' category, but unfortunately did not win (thing was rigged if you ask me, I mean look at that face!). He sported a toddler size 3 down jacket and a neck gator to keep himself nice and warm. Way to go, Bear, for being a good sport.

We still had fun playing around Aspen anyway :)

SHOP MY LOOK

Coat (old/last season) but I love THIS one and THIS one- others I love linked in tool below / Sweater (c/o) similar, similar / Jeans / Booties (old) love THESE and THESE / Hat / Sunnies - mine are Celine, but I found THESE as an alternative (not sure of quality/authenticity) / Bag (dupe here, here, here) / Necklace

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a great day. Gosh, sorry I've been so absent! Life just got a little crazy for a second. If you follow me on social media, you saw that I was at New York Fashion Week last week with a few other blogger friends. HOLY COW. I can't even begin to explain how amazing the experience was. I'll be doing a post on Wednesday with outfit details, stories, etc.

Sadly, fall is pretty much here (insert sad face emoji here). Don't get me wrong, I LOVE fall and everything it has to offer, but I feel like I missed out on summer with all the Crohn's stuff.

I was excited to collaborate with Stitch Boutique here in Denver to create three fun looks perfect for transitioning into fall. This outfit is all about the jacket. How cute, right? It's so soft and cozy and perfect for light layering. Find a fun jacket like this to keep you warm on those 60 degree days, and simply pair with your favorite tee and booties. The tee I'm wearing is from Z Supply and holy cow, if you don't own at least 3 of these tees, you're missing out. Perfect fit and SO soft.

Have a great week friends!
