It’s no secret that I love a good cocktail and am always on the lookout for new and different concoctions. In my search I came across a drink called the “Metropolitan,” which immediately brought to mind Whit Stillman’s deliciously satirical movie of the same name. So, of course i had to try it!

I have always been a fan of adaptive reuse, the practice of taking a building or structure that has outlived its original purpose and converting its use while retaining their historic features. So I am soooo excited that a developer purchased the Colorado National Bank Building in downtown Denver with plans to convert it into a hotel!

How excited was I when I received my December 2009 issue of Elle Décor and saw that Denver was featured in it’s monthly travel guide!? You have no idea.

If you have been a reader of this blog long enough, you know what a huge fan of Hermès I am, so it should come as no surprise to hear that I am constantly inspired by their website. If you click through to “Les Ailes Hermes” you will see what I mean:
