AFC Championship



Hello hello! I'm writing this post during halftime ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ My previous post was reminiscing our ski trip just a couple of weeks ago in CO. Now I'm cheering on my Broncos in Columbus, OH (from the comfort of my couch). The AFC Championship always comes down to the same two teams: Patriots and Broncos. Well, LET'S GO BRONCOS!!!!! 


This game surely snuck up on me, as far as preparing snacks go. I ended up just throwing a pizza in the oven and calling it a day. I figured it was better to focus on a game day outfit rather than game day food (which really only matters when it's a super bowl party!)

This full circle skirt from New York and Company was a favorite of mine this summer and fall. The sunset orange color is the perfect transition piece from the neon summer palette to the jewel tones in the fall. During this time of year,
It help me be United In Orange with the rest of the Broncos fans out there. 

My graphic tee from Junk Food clothing is a high-lo fit that's soft and comfortable. I can wear it with leggings, jeans, or dress it up with this skirt. 

These suede BCBG's have been my second skin for the last two years. They're at the point where they have formed to fit my feet perfectly and I never want to take them off. 

Here's to hoping the Broncos make it to the Super Bowl!! Looking forward to having two weeks to plan outfits and food for the Big Game ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ‘

Ski Bunny ๐Ÿฐ





















Welcome to the town of Breckenridge!  The town was still decorated with lights and Christmas decorations which was perfect for our trip!  As part of our Christmas presents, my parents bought my brother and I a ski trip!  We found amazing fares on Frontier airlines for $32 one way - the catch was, we left Cincinnati at 5:20am on Weds and left Denver at 7:20pm on Saturday.  We all chuckled at how we left for the airport at 2:30am and then returned home from the airport also at 2:30am - crazy how that worked out, right?!

With my dad being from Colorado, I've only been skiing in CO.  This was my 4th time and I was still pretty nervous.  The blue runs are probably equal to the black diamonds in Ohio! Even though it was cold in CO, it wasn't very windy so, with all of my layers, I was able to stay warm while skiing all day. 

I fell a lot!  It wasn't graceful and it wasn't pretty, but it was fun!  I mean, my legs were twisted and pointing in ways they shouldn't!  So thankful I didn't report back to work on Monday in a body cast...

If you're planning a trip to Breckenridge ever, the top 5 things to do (other than ski, duh):
1. SHOP - be a tourist and buy the Breck March (especially at the Glass Art Company)
2. Wait in line for Crรชpes a La Cart - I know it's cold, but they have a fire pit so if you're in a group, you can trade off who waits in line and who stays warm by the fire
3. Ride the Gondola - It's not heated, but it keeps out the cold air and seats 8 people.  Plus, it's FREE
4.  Make dinner reservations (We wanted to try Canteen but it's so small inside and we didn't have a reservation so we left to find another place.  But every place was just as busy.  After an hour of walking outside and being tired and hungry, I think we all got a little cranky :(
5.  Rent a condo with a hot tub - that's the perfect way to end a day of skiing, I promise!!

This isn't a what would Kiki wear post, but I wanted to share my pictures from the trip!  I was bundled up under layers of sweaters, scarf, and pomp beanies!  But what better way to start the new year and motivate my to continue blogging than having one of my pictures reposted on Instagram?  The first photo above was reposted by Colorado Activities on their website and their Instagram (Colorado Activities).
