Rocky Mountain National Park




The cutest and tiniest chipmunks!


It was amazing how different it looked at the very top.


This was the most amazing sight on the trip. 
I loved seeing all of the elk just hanging out in the mountains!



Water

I am not a big fan of soft drinks and never have juice at my house, 
so water has always been my favorite.
In Colorado, I mostly drank naturally flavored fruit water with lemons and oranges. 

Oh my, it was so refreshing.

DIY Faux Zinc Letters

I have always admired these zinc letters from Anthropologie.
I was recently at the craft store when I saw these cardboard letters and knew I could make some myself!


Paint the letters with a silver spray paint. I used Krylon's Brushed Metallic spray paint in "Satin Brushed Nickle" found at Michaels. Let the coat dry and hang them wherever you like!


These will be going in my new kitchen two weeks from tomorrow!

Summer style.

It seems like every time I get dressed in the morning I think that I have nothing to wear. I always wear the same things because they are my favorite pieces. I realized that I have so many clothes in my closet that I don't wear that are just as cute! 
Not sure if I could do a 30 for 30 challenge just yet, but I have challenged myself to get more creative with my outfits and accessories, wear more of my closet, and try not to get stuck in a rut and wear the same things! 

Here are my inspiration pieces:

Mix and match patterns

So put together!
