Sochi Style.

I don't know about you, but I am really enjoying following the Sochi Olympic games. I am in awe of these incredible athletes, they are so disciplined, talented and just plain AMAZING. Watching US athletes like Sage Kotsenburg rip it down the mountain, doing a 1620 Japan Air for the first time in his career, during the first ever Olympic Slopestyle event was so unbelievable. On top of that, becoming the first American athlete to EVER win gold on Russian soil is a feat that will go down in history, what an overwhelming feeling that must be.

On Friday, I watched the Opening Ceremonies in Sochi and thought it would be fun to share with you some of the outfits from each country. Some are sweet & edgy, some fun, some would make excellent Halloween attire. You be the judge.

Roaring 20's

“And I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

We are Pregnant!!!

The Sutton's are having a baby, coming August 2014!!

Cheers to 2014!

It is absolutely crazy how quickly the holidays come and go. All the preparation, decoration, shopping, events... all done in a flash.

Birthdays, Wine & Christmas-- Oh my!

Well people, there is 6 days until Christmas. Yes, if you have not gotten all your holiday shopping done, now is the time to get your butt to the mall.

On top of Christmas, there is exactly 1 day until I turn 29! And exactly 2 days until the 5th Annual Wine Tasting party. My favorite time of year for sure, and now you can see why.

Girls Incorporated of Metro Denver

Last weekend I attended an incredible event, Girls & Guys Night Out, that supports the charity, Girls Incorporated of Metro Denver. This wonderful organization encourages girls to be Strong, Smart and Bold. Empowering girls to dream and fulfill these dreams through higher education, hard work and always believing in themselves. This is a wonderful charity and I feel very fortunate that we have been able to support such an awe-inspiring organization.

Girls and Guys Night Out was held at the Hyatt Regency Tech Center in Denver. There are cocktails, dinner, a raffle and the night is concluded with a comedy show. This year Caroline Rhea (from Sabrina the Teenage Witch, you remember that show from back in the day ;-)) was the comic. It was an enjoyable evening for a tremendous cause.

Brew at the Zoo {Event/ Charity Post}

Over the weekend we attended a fun event that combines two of my favorite things, beer & animals. I am sure you are thinking, what does drinking beer at the zoo have to do with charity???!! Well, let me tell you.

The Denver Zoo's Brew at the Zoo benefits the Denver Zoo's Red Apple Fund for Lifelong Learning. This program allows all individuals, regardless of your economic situation, to learn about conservation and all the wonders of animals through educational activities hosted by the Denver Zoo.

The event offers samples from over 40 of the region's best breweries, along with complimentary food from some of Denver's best restaurants. This is an incredible event to attend and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves beer, food and animals!
