Just got back from Aspen Fashion Week and it was a blast! I stayed at the Viceroy Snowmass where I spent almost two weeks indulging in eco luxury and exceptional service. Make sure to stop by K-8 restaurant and try the Loch Duart Salmon, one of the few fish approved by Clean Fish Council, and the yummy fruit plate accompanied by greek yogurt dipping sauce. If you are looking for something quick, ski right off of Assay hill into Nest, the Viceroy’s pool side lounge cafe for a lowfat greek yogurt parfait served in to-go eco containers, or my other favorite-the organic mixed green salad topped with chipotle grilled chicken.

My trip just happened to coincide with Clicquot in the Snow, a four day champagne  filled event held around Aspen and Viceroy’s Nest and Pool Deck . Highlights were Saturday’s Apres Ski party at the Viceroy. Revelers, including E! Entertainment Giuliana Rancic tossed down champagne, oysters, and crab legs while dancing to tunes spun by Baya Voice. Veuve Clicquot made a donation to Challenge Aspen for every flute sold, and let me tell you-there was a lot of champagne going around, guests were donning their bright orange rayban-esque glasses and jumping into the Veuve Clicqout Gondola photo booth to snap party shots with retro fur coats and bottles of Veuve.

After recovering by the pool on Sunday, I headed downtown to the Snowstage, where KJUS and Obermeyer kicked off the Aspen Fashion Week with a energy charged show at the base of Aspen Mountain. Following the runway I headed to the Wolverine party at Tenet, where owner Jesse Warren  picks out hard to find eco luxury brands including Rogan Jeans.  After that I was off to the W Magazine Fashion Week kick-off party at Brexi and Dancing Bear. A fully packed upstairs and downstairs was filled with models, some I may have mistook for models, after all it is Aspen, and fashionistas from everywhere. Lauren Bush was there, sporting the weeks must have item, a FEED bag, featuring Aspen Fashion Week’s Logo in natural canvas and environmentally friendly dyes.

Monday had me back at Snowstage to watch Uber-Chic German designer Dannennmann and Obermeyer strut next years winter gear on the runway. Afterwards I headed over to Pucci for a cocktail party where shoppers envied hot pink retro swirl prints, gowns and puffer vests.  Ended the evening at Wheeler Opera House to watch Naomi Conquers Africa, a Douglas Keeves Film, that features her visit with Nelson Mendela, accompanied by Kate Moss, Christy Turlington, and Amber Valetta.

Tuesday was the FEED event at Ralph Lauren where I met FEED Co-founder Lauren Bush who was striking without an ounce of make-up! Picked up two FEED bears and headed over to Belly-Up for a memorable performance by John Forte.

Wednesday was my last day in Aspen and I spent it lounging at the Viceroy spa, and later went to town for a final Snow Magazine’s best of winter round-up, an after-party at Il Mulino with the Us Ski Team, followed by tacos and cervesas at Marmot.

Leaving my hotel Thursday morning, I was introduced to Bobby Kennedy, in town speaking to business leaders about his vision for clean energy and economic growth for our country-he even took the time to speak to the entire staff of the LEED certified Viceroy hotel, more on that later this week…
