Portrait by Jess Bernstein
Global philanthropist and owner of AJP Realty & Design, Vail/ Denver resident Amanda Precourt shares her favorite things.
1. ACCESSORY My Todd Reed one-of-a-kind 18-karat gold and oxidized sterling silver cuff bracelet with raw diamond banding. I honestly feel like I am a superhero when I wear it. Todd is a genius. He creates jewelry with sophistication, raw elegance and a little bit of punk flair. Todd Reed, Boulder; toddreed.com
2. SUNGLASSES I love almost any sunglasses made by Dita. I am never caught outside without them! They blend luxury with great quality and are always fashion-forward. Dita Aviator, $1,148; dita.com
3. COLORADO ACTIVITY One of my favorite pastimes is hiking in Vail, followed by a visit to Mountain Standard, for an espresso martini and the best pimento-cheese dip in Colorado. vail.com, mtnstandard.com
4. LUGGAGE I love my Tumi International Expandable 4 Wheeled luggage set. I have it in a hot-pink geometric pattern and a blue and turquoise geometric pattern. I chose fun, loud colors so it’s easy to find my luggage at baggage claim. International Expandable 4 Wheeled Carry-On, $595; tumi.com
5. FURNITURE LINE As a developer and designer, I am always looking for sexy yet comfortable sofas. Presently, I am obsessed with Baxter’s furniture line. I love their Viktor and Chester Moon couches. They come in gorgeous suede and wear well over time. Available at Jonathan Adler and Rifugio Modern; jonathanadler.com, rifugiomodern.com
6. SHEETS/BEDDING I absolutely love Sferra sheets for my bed. They are soft, luxurious and timelessly elegant. I always do white sheets with a custom white duvet and then add color with fun euro shams and throw pillows from The Brass Bed in Cherry Creek. brassbedfinelinens.com
7. SHOES I had to stop wearing heels after having a spinal fusion a year and a half ago. Therefore, my everyday go-to is a combat-style boot. I love my Dorothee Schumacher ankle boots with the goldstudded accent on the heels. Dorothee Schumacher Tough Temptress Combat Boot, $675; at Perch, perchvail.com, perchdenver.com
8. HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE I can’t live without my Montigo C720 gas linear-burner fireplace. I have one in the living room at our home in Edwards, and I tend to have it on all winter long. montigo.com
9. PERFUME My friend Anuschka Pashel gave me a bottle of Tom Ford Black Orchid as “something borrowed” on my wedding day. I haven’t stopped wearing it since. Tom Ford Black Orchid Eau de Parfum, $128–$180; at Nordstrom, nordstrom.com
10. COLORADO ARTIST Duh, of course my husband, Andrew Jensdotter! studiojensdotter.com
11. HOUSEWARMING GIFT French soy-based Cire Trudon candles, in Gabriel or Abd El Kader scents. I always have candles burning to keep the house smelling fresh and inviting. My friends almost always comment on how good our house smells, so naturally I gift them my favorites. Cire Trudon candles, $105; at Bloom by Anuschka, bloomdenver.com
