September 23rd 2018 at 5pm
6359 Airport Road
Sedalia CO 80135
Tickets $10.00

I am absolutely thrilled to be part of this amazing event happening this weekend as we all come together to tune out noise and tune into our hearts. This event was created through amazing people connecting through The Foundlings, a non-profit organization that I am a part of as Sammy Taggett and I bring hope and inspiration back to the orphanage where we came from! A beautiful soul, Sarah Westwood, helped us get this non-profit on it’s feet and she connected us with the amazing Michael Blu.  Their passions combined partnered up with the Foundlings for this memorable and peaceful event.

Mile High Global Meditation is the brainchild of Michael-Blu. His success as a meditation guide in the Denver metro area has shown, as he states, the growing desire of people to find personal strength and be the change they need in their lives.

In April of this year Michael-Blu established the AirBnB Experience ‘Mile High Meditation.’ In … Read more!

Otero Menswear: Short Men Standing Tall on Fitted, Sustainable Fashion

Interview with Co-Founder Steve Villanueva of Otero Menswear

So, what is so special about Otero Menswear?

Our company is founded on the belief that a well-dressed man is more confident and respected than a man in the same position who always looks out of place in his own clothes. And we also believe that dressing really well should be effortless. Because men with confidence, intelligence, and drive have better things to do than try on every shirt that should be in your size. In fact, we believe this so passionately that we completely reinvented the concept of clothing sizes.

Most men’s apparel brands are designed for an imaginary “average” body type—one that is roughly 5’10” or 5’11”, of middling weight, with a chest measurement that determines the width of the entire garment. All other sizes (XS-XXL) are created off of this template by making the shirt proportionally bigger or smaller. Basically, every man alive is expected to fit into only seven sizes, based on a body scale that doesn’t really exist.

In reality, men have two distinctive body types, that actually serve different functions, and these are defined by differences in the shoulder-waist ratio.

Designer Interview: Julia Rhoden Design

The first time we met Julia Rhoden, of Julia Rhoden Design, was when we held an eco-fashion competition where designers were partnered up with an ecological fashion disaster! I need to find those photos!! Julia’s design was so innovative and clever and ever since then, she has been on the forefront of our minds as a designer here in Denver.

Let’s see what inspires this woman!

What inspired your love for fashion and fashion design?

Honestly for most of my life I wanted to be a zoologist and chase wolves around in Russia UNTIL I saw the movie the ‘Devil Wears Prada’ in high school and I instantaneously became inspired by the ‘Miranda Priesly’ character and just knew in my heart- “This is what I need to do.” Senior year of high school I changed my direction and directed everything towards becoming a fashion designer.

The first thing I ever made was my best friends bright yellow prom dress!

How long have you been designing?

I have been designing since high school but have been seriously designing over the last seven years. Really honing in on my construction, my technical skills and aesthetic.

Did you go to school for design … Read more!

Children’s Miracle Fashion Show 2018

June 4, 2018 – There is only one thing better than fashion shows and it’s fashion shows that benefit a good cause. The Children’s Miracle Fashion Show on May 31st did exactly that. 100% of the proceeds made from ticket sales and auction items went straight to the Children’s Miracle Network and Children Hospital Colorado. Ambassadors Sam, Kaymen, and Anela shared touching stories about their time at Children’s and led the show with charisma and comedy. With a venue like the Chateaux at Fox Meadows and plenty of local, up-and-coming designers, it was bound to be a wonderful evening filled with community, happiness, and fashion.

Yellow was everything with this outfit. Vintage Frame of Mind had me head over heels for this look. This lengthy yellow tank top jumpsuit was finished with a black plaid pattern. The loose fit was complimentary but still allowed for the shape of the model to come through. The black corset belt helped cinch and define the waist and accessorized the outfit by adding more detail. The high waist elongated the legs and gave the outfit an effortless off-duty model look. I am always transfixed by the … Read more!
