How many parties have you attended where you were greeted by a pair of very polite, very gorgeous and well-accessorized Rodeo princesses? There could only be one event in Denver like that and it’s the jewel in the crown (or should I say bolo around the neck) of the National Western Stock Show: the…

Style Matters at the Denver Art Museum Cartier Exhibition

First, a disclaimer. Style Matters loves jewelry, any kind. I will stop to peruse Target’s jewelry department. I think the new JC Penney jewelry cases at Park Meadows are worth inspecting. The first place I go to when visiting a new city is its museum jewelry display. So, you can imagine my anticipation for…

While my love of shopping is well known, fewer people know what Mr. Style Matters likes to do. Well, its camping and mountain biking, specifically in Moab, Utah, with good friends and our two sons.
