To the Aspen!

---

Don't get fooled by the bland brick building and simple Victorian architectures around town. Aspen is very opulent; the epitome of luxury, style, and grace. Strolling down the streets, big fashion names that fill Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, Fifth Ave in Manhattan, Avenue Montaigne in Paris, and Bond Street in London are well represented here. Arts Galleries that cater to the strangest tastes are as common as Toyota in Tokyo.

I never heard the "organic contemporary style" till I opened the Aspen Home Design magazinethe magazine, should include classic, clean, and simple sinuous lines. It incorporates pieces crafted from reclaimed wood and recycled materials. Furthermore, the style uses fabrics that utilize vegetable dyes. I would remember that for future reference. Either I was way behind with my vocabulary or this town really leads the bleeding edge of eco-friendly, organic fashion and design.

The outdoor restaurants brim with conversations till late into the nights. Many chefs graduated from the best culinary schools in the world come here to satiate the palate of high powered politicians, Hollywood celebrities, and Wall Street executives who frequently visit this place with their private jets. The late summer nights are comfortable enough for people to enjoy five-star dining with the backdrop of moonlit mountain slopes...
