Aspenings: The AFW Runway Rundown

Aspen Fashion Week (AFW) didn’t just start with a bang – it started with a Bentley. Of course it did. Just days after recovering from 303 Magazine’s own Denver Fashion Week(end), I found myself seated along another runway…this one at an even higher altitude. The 4th Annual Aspen Fashion Week kicked-off on Sunday, March 11...

Aspenings: Introducing Justice Snow

303 Magazine hearts Aspen – so much so – we’ve decided to dedicate an entire issue to this idyllic mountain town. Coming in April, the “I Heart Aspen” issue will reveal the local characters who move, shake, and influence the rest of us longing to live the Aspen life. And if your wallet has suddenly...

Sundance Spy: The End

Sadly, time at Sundance flies fast and I crammed as much as possible into the last 36 hours of my festival.  Many of the stars fled to their Hollywood habitats by Monday and the glitz factor on Main Street returned to a semi-normal level.  The A-list exodus lets the diehard cinephiles do more of what...

Sundance Spy: Day 4

Please forgive my mid-festival hiatus…the Sundance shenanigans are nonstop.  I’m back in blogging action and day four in Park City was just my type of “Sunday Funday.” After mingling with industry types and patrons the night before at the official “Late Night Lounge Hosted by Sundance London,” I missed the early morning premiere of Madrid,...

Sundance Spy: Day 3

It’s a good thing we were snowed in today since we called it a night around 4:30 a.m. and needed some serious R&R.  The exclusive late night after-party of Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie at the Blue Iguana was filled with Sundance shenanigans with open bar, loud beats, and cameos by Parks & Recreation’s...

Sundance Spy: Day 2

6:30 a.m. was way too early for our iPhone alarms to go off this morning.  But, catching the premiere of Your Sister’s Sister was well worth the lack of sleep.  The sold out film was at the top of our list and we were sadly sans tickets.  Luckily, there’s still a way to get a...

Sundance Spy: Day 1

303 Magazine headed even further west today and is live from Park City, Utah bringing you insider access from the Sundance Film Festival.  We’re rolling through town with the Denver Film Society (DFS) for the next five days and have a jam-packed schedule of film premieres, A-list events, and after-parties.  I know…it’s going to be...

Powder Room: The Sebastian Vail

Like most of you weekend warriors, I too, love escaping to Vail on the weekends.  Gone are the days where I can brave traffic on a Saturday morning – ride all day – only to turn around and head right back down the hill.  Also gone are the days of crashing in a 20-person mountain...

The Ritz-Carlton, Denver Shines Again

Diamonds are a hotel’s best friend too and The Ritz-Carlton, Denver has a lot of friends – ten to be exact. Last week the luxe property celebrated its 2011 AAA Five-Diamond rating with a fancy schmancy reception for hospitality and tourism industry-types.  It’s the second year in a row that the hotel has received such...

Hello, Clyfford Still

The world of fine art is quite intimidating, but even for neophytes, the names Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollack should ring a bell. Although Clyfford Still (1904-1980) is the least known of the well known, he is a pillar of influence in the abstract expressionism movement. Despite Still’s artistic impact throughout his life, he was...

Dream Pipes: Aspen Idol

Celeb sightings in Aspen are pretty ubiquitous and today was no different. We caught up with judges Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler, and host Ryan Seacrest – idols in their own right – on their lunch break during American Idol auditions. The American Idol production crew chose our favorite mountain town to trim the...
