I love Colorado!! During Labor Day weekend, I made the trek out to Colorado to visit one of my best friends, Melissa, and her boyfriend, Jordan (and their cat Yonce). I spent a whole week there and had an absolute blast. Cassie (who lives in Baltimore too) and Kalen (who lives in her van and is constantly on the move) met us there as well for some hiking, drinking and the Jonas Brother’s concert. It was Melissa’s birthday too and we love to celebrate our girl. It was my first time in Denver and Boulder, and I had used the money that was originally for me and Melissa to fly out to LA for Loverfest (RIP) to get out there. Here is a cluttered and messy photo dump of an amazing week. That includes blurry pics from my iPhone 8, under exposed photos from some disposable cameras and some weirdly groovy shots from my HUJI cam. Hope you enjoy!
Day 1: Melissa’s Actual Birthday
There’s our beautiful birthday girl!
we went to Aviano Coffee multiple times that week
We went and got our nails done the first day I was there (it was my first time getting tips)
I also went to Orange Theory while Melissa was at Core Power Yoga (and yes, I was feeling the altitude by this point).
We went to Postino for her birthday lunch
And then we went to Avanti F&B for drinks that night
I love my mom and dad
Fun fact: I brought this dress that I bought from thredUP to Colorado for Melissa to wear. Taylor Swift wore it to the 2006 ACMs and Melissa looks amazing in her own #Kimberkopy
This is Yonce, the real star of the show
Day 2: WFH + Happy Camper
The good thing about working remotely is that I didn’t have to take off the whole time I was out there. So here is a bad quality, disposables shot of me #workingfromhome #incolorado
And a cute disposables shot of us walking around Denver that day before Cassie and Kalen arrived
We went to Happy Camper for pizza and drinks that night
eventually Kalen made it to Colorado after having her van break down in Montana a week before this
And then Cassie finally made her appearance after a delayed flight from BWI
Day 3: Hiking!
We went hiking in Boulder on my third day there (and thankfully the altitude didn’t really mess with me)
It has been years since I last went hiking and the views were unbelievable!!! We did the Gregory Canyon, Range View and Flagstaff Trail Loop.
Melissa looking like a super hero (as our star tour guide)
Cassie enjoying the nature
I tripped because I am clumsy and didn’t have hiking shoes and I ripped my Lululemon leggings. I was bleeding and bruised my ankle and knee but I survived! Fun Fact: you can take your leggings to Lululemon to mend if you tear them for free!
Post hike bagels in Boulder
Day 4: Concert Day!
On our way to see Kelsea Ballerini and the Jonas Brothers!
Red Rock Amphitheater is literally such a beautiful venue
I wish I had more photos of Kelsea Ballerini and the Jonas Brothers, but I was ~living in the moment~ and forgot
Day 5: Recovery (no pictures to show)
Day 6: Harry Styles Day
I actually extended my trip when I found out Harry Styles was coming to Denver for Love on Tour. Melissa and I worked from home that day and then got all jazzed up to go see Harold at the Ball Arena.
My outfit for #HSLOT (note the cherry accessories)
Two vaccinated queens wearing our masks just like Harry wants us too
such an amazing show (I can’t believe I actually got to see him live)
Thanks to this beautiful girl for having me! So glad I overstayed my welcome in Colorado. Will gladly return at anytime.
Thanks for reading! xx
