Mini Mountain Roadtrip

I finally got the relaxing weekend I have been yearning for! Saturday we just got into R's car and drove into the Rockies to see where the road would take us.  It is so breathtaking and I still am amazed that this astounding amount of natural beauty is so close at hand! It is crazy to me that I can be wearing a summer dress and still be so close to thesensnowy peaks, it sure makes for a terrific backdrop.  We took a few hours with a bunch of stops for exploring and taking in the views, and ended up in Lyons, Colorado, a cute little town with antique and ice cream shops.  We grabbed some lunch and beer at the Original Oskar Blues Brewery - perfection!


 




 


 




Outfit Details:
Dress: Vintage- for sale in my shop here!
Head Scarf: vintage/ thrifted
Shoes: Target
Sunglasses: Marshalls
Jacket: gift from R's mom

     So, the other amazing thing about this weekend is I finally bought a DSLR camera! After months of saving and research, I chose the Nikon D5100.  It is currently charging and I cannot wait to try it out and start sharing some better quality photography with you guys! (I currently use a Panasonic Lumix point and shoot, which is nice for its price and kind but does not have the manual focus options and quality pictures I am looking to get into!)  
    On another note, I am in love with this little vintage dress I shortened, which is now available in my shop!  I shortened it from a mid calf length and it just turned into a completely new dress.  It was VERY hard to part with to put in my shop, but that is what I originally bought it for, and I am sure it will find a lovely new home! The shoes are also a new acquisition from target- floral, super comfy, and only 10 bucks! Can't beat that!  I hope you all had a beautiful and relaxing weekend!

    Oh wow, you're so lucky to live so close to such a beautiful area! Also, I'm finding it way too funny that someone carved 'Moose' into the tree, haha :)

    Goodness, this outfit couldn't have been any more perfectly put together! I would have a mighty hard time parting with that dress as well methinks. A town full of antique and ice creams shops and surrounded by all that natural beauty - sounds quite heavenly if you ask me.

    Looking forward to seeing all the photos you will be taking with your new Nikon. I swear, it was one of the best gifts I've ever been given. You will love it, I'm sure:)

    Ok, so I love you right now. Yellow? Colorado? Awesome Etsy shop? Yeeesss.

    I have a DSLR camera, but I'm too much of a dweeb to read (ehem, find) the instructions for how to actually take advantage of all its awesome features! Blah.
