Quick Read // Outdoor Essentials

Before we moved to Colorado I had only a few "outdoorsy" items in my closet... fast forward 10 months and now I own multiple outdoor gear. Sometimes I feel that nobody is a true Coloradan until they have done multiple trips to REI and Patagonia haha, so when in Rome...

I  learned that weather in Colorado can quickly change so I always pack layers. Here is a list of a few items that always come handy in Colorado:  

1. Patagonia Radalie Jacket.
2. ​Outdoorsy t-shirt just for fun :)
3. Sunglasses, there's 300 days of sunshine over here. These are from Tory Burch and I absolutely love them. 
4. La Roche-Posay 60 Ultra light sunscreen... did I mention the 300 days of sunshine and high altitude? 
5. Merrell hiking boots, I like these ones because they are not too heavy and bulky and stylish enough that you can still go out for an after hike brunch.
6. North Face Aconcagua Down Vest, it's a versatile layer.
