1. What neighborhood do you live in?

I live in Five Points, right on the point to be exact.

2. Why did you choose Five Points?

Last summer, I moved in with my soon-to-be husband Paul (yay!). He has owned in Five Points for years, and I have to say I love living here. Though I am a Denver native, this is my first experience living in Five Points. Five Points is a neighborhood that is changing fast as the city pumps money into the redevelopment of the area. Every day as I walk our Frenchie Ollie around, I meet new neighbors. There is something about a neighborhood that is developing….the people bond and take pride in being residents there. Plus, I just love the urban feel and diversity here.

 3. What are your favorite local spots?

The Point Coffee Shop. It is right downstairs, and I love the staff! I love True Food in Cherry Creek, El Tepehuan (a local dive spot for great Mexican food), Sushi Hai in the Highlands. For shopping, I like Decade on Broadway, Anthropologie, all the boutiques up and down South Pearl St. The list goes is endless.

4. We love your vibe! What inspires your style?

I recently read a blog post by Jennine Jacob, founder of Independent Fashion Bloggers, where she stated “It’s not about how you look; it’s about how you see.” So, what you see helps you pull together the perfect outfit or helps you spot the latest trends. It’s not how other people see you, but how you see yourself and your surroundings.

This resonated with me as fashion for me is a way of creating the way I want to feel that day. Yes, I am inspired by trends and the world around me through fashion blogs, Pinterest, glossy magazines, but it is taking those ideas and making them my own, making sure they look good on me while also creating the feeling I want that day. It’s just one way I help create the day I want to have.
