Enough of the protest and politics, this weekend I want to occupy some frothy fun! What better place to let one’s hair down than the 2nd Annual Denver Fashion Weekend and 5th Annual Hair Show? 303 Magazine and Schomp Automotive are the presenting sponsors for this three- night extravaganza benefitting Dress for Success Denver.

Telluride's Two Skirts has two words for you: Brochu Walker. The hip young design team is the subject of this week's Fashion Friday.
"The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco," Mark Twain Wow, it's hot. Oops. Now it's not. You know the cliche about weather in the Telluride mountains, any mountains really: Don't like it? Wait a minute...

What's good for the goose… If men can shop in women's stores, go metrosexual, then why shouldn't wear turn the tables too? Kristin Holbrook of Telluride's Two Skirts suggests our hat's in the ring.
In the 1960s, women burned bras and started wearing the pants in the family too. By the 1970s, pants were ho-hum. (So were most fashions.) In the 1980s, women wanting to break the glass ceiling, decided to look more like men: shoulder pads to create the illusion of broad shoulders (all the better to lean on during bad days at the office) came in to fashion, along with button-down shirts, even bow ties. (I bought mine at Paul Stuart.) Power suits for powerful women.

Fashion Friday is all Telluride's Two Skirts spotting trends and highlighting designers worth noting, then bringing it all down to a local level. This week fashionista Ashley Deppen focuses on Mischa Lampert.
Alright already. I don't want to wish away the summer either, but Lampert's chunky wool hats are special: hand knit wool head gear that act like winter armor, but also have great style. Her Sailor Fur number with its slightly conical shape makes you look like a character out of "Lord of the Rings." And I mean that in the very cute elfin sense. The earflaps on the Nolita model insulate you from the cold – and the world.
