Hi to my lovely readers….went to the Aspen Magazine Summer Party last night at the posh new Viceroy Hotel in Snowmass…400 RSVP’d and all showed up and then some! Beautiful Aspen people in beautiful fashion, drinking the yummiest of cocktails, whiskeys and wines and eating the most delicious delicacies from mouth-watering sushi…I couldn’t stop…to organic vegies, meats and fish. Tom’s Shoes was sponsoring a world project, whereby every pair of shoes purchased would be matched with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need, One for One. This endeavor was inspired in 2006 by American traveler Blake Mycoskie who befriended children in a village in Argentina and found that they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created Tom’s Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a new pair of shoes to a child who needed them. The artists from the Anderson Ranch in Snowmass were painting these pretty and practical espadrilles to anyone who contributed….see their beautiful work in our photos. Food & Wine weekend is the official kick-off of the Aspen summer season. Saluta and bon appetit!
