would you like to go to aspen for a weekend? cool cool cool. got you

life things / December 15, 2018

can i just say some things?  thank you.

1- the giveaway series of a lifetime movie culminates this evening with a pretty super prize: a trip to aspen.

I tried rull hard to put together 12 days of giveaways that were truly my favorite things.  from the jeans i wear every day, to my fave sunglasses, my go-to restaurant, my stylist-to-the stars, my hat lady, my leather dudes, so forth and so on.

it made sense to make the biggest and bad-assest finale giveaway my fave place, aspen, which so many of you have been learning about along with me through my IG and this blog over the last two years.  i want you to go see for yourself.

you can enter on our instagram, and also by commenting here on the blog.  lemme know what i should blog about in the new year.  also let me know what i should consider being when i grow up.  i’d just like some feedback.  ideas for furbish?  thoughts on my hair?  advice on my dumb ole kondo? what’s our vibe in 2019?  let it all out.  i’ll read every word.

but back to the trip — the winner gets two round-trip tickets into the aspen airport (in the 48 states please), 2 nights at the limelight hotel downtown, which is a fave of mine (super-great location, happening apres-ski scene, nice updated rooms, and dogs!),  ski passes for two to any of the 4 aspen ski co mountains, AND from my favorite new-to-aspen boutique, CJ Laing, the winner will get this cashmere sweater.  i mean honestly, who’s best life is this not?

go crazy kids – the more people you tag on instagram in separate comments, the better your chances of winning.  maybe i’ll pick the person who tags the most people.  share with your friends, repost, bribe the giver (me), show-off, werk, and if you don’t mind, let’s break the internet.  i’m in the mood to.  please, and thank you.

2- speaking of the jeans from the giveaway (the wedgie Levi’s), i had 3 people text me today asking about my Levi’s and one friend sent me this text, because her’s just arrived:

3rd and final item – I am totally obsessing over athena calderone.  somehow i found her right before her AD feature (i think through jerimiah Brent, her bff), and did a deep dive.  and then AD!  deal was sealed.  just so damn elegant.  she’s fascinating to me.

    Your blog is awesome and if my morning habit of ignoring responsibilities to check for a new post wins me a trip to Aspen I will just really hit the roof.

    I love your closet cravings, updates on the kondo and Aspen house, and I’d say my favorite posts are Real Raleigh. More of these please. I come here because your blog always feels fresh and actually inspiring, not like a never ending cycle of more of the same. Your commitment to keeping it that way and sharing authentic content always shines through. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you- I have a feeling this will be your best year yet.

    What a generous, lovely giveaway! My husband, a personal chef, and I have very fond memories of traveling with the family he worked for to Deer Valley/Park City and we would love to relive that magic. The east coast is beautiful, but there’s nothing like those snowy Mountain views! The parents of the family have since died (way before their time, sadly) and I think it would be so lovely to remember them in this way – they were happiest on the mountain.

    I’ve been following along since Furbish was a tiny shop on Glenwood and have loved everything! You are my style guide from afar. I especially love the favorite things posts and I’ve saved many bookcase of the day’s! I’ll take more of everything though – I think you have a great balance between personal (but not too much!), interiors, fashion, and travel.

    Long time blog reader – just keep doing you. I’m so over today’s influencers and photoshopped and filtered ads in my life. I enjoy pretty things and taste makers telling me what’s up. That’s your brand. I love that you haven’t had some sort of plastic surgery glambot makeover and just produce actually interesting content.

    I am so happy you are back and blogging!

    I love the posts of your finds from the habitat for humanity store in colorado, how you’re all making it work for le condo (you will, I know you will!). Also never angry when I see you’ve done a ‘flings’ post.
