How beautiful are the mountains in Vail, Colorado? I seriously could not get over the breathtaking views everywhere you turned. Our hotel room all the way through the village to the amazing skiing. Every step was stunning. It inspired me to match the snow in an (almost) all white ensemble. I tried to pack light so my boots and coat were black. (My husband will laugh at this and point out that packing light means a suit case that weighs 49.9 pounds - under the limit!). I love a baggy off the shoulder sweater. It makes the look a little sexier while still being covered up and winterized. The white jeans are a pair of my favorites and soooo comfortable. I accented the look with a lot of silver jewelry for an icier feel. All in all I basked in the fact that Spring is almost here but I get to enjoy a few more winter looks before its time to get in shape for Summer. The sweaters below come in both black and white. They're similar styles and also by free people so they'll have the slouchy … [Read more...]
Reversible Vest
First thing first. I don't wear fur, but I am never against faux fur. I am obsessed with my C&C California reversible vest. It's leather on one side and faux fur and fuzzy on the other. I add it over more casual outfits to dress them up. It does not offer much functionality on the warmth front, but that's what a coat is for. I wore this outfit for dinner out in Vail. We ate at so many amazing restaurants (reviews to come) including Sweet Basil, Swiss Chalet, The 10th and Mountain Standard. A few of these places were extremely popular choices and I learned a trick from my friend Monica on getting those reservations. Open table allowed for reservations 60 days out. I set my alarm for midnight 60 days before each reservation, woke up in the middle of the night and quickly snagged a spot. By the time my actual alarm went off for the day (at 6 AM) the restaurants were completely booked. It was insane. Thank god I knew the trick of the trade, although the first night I may have … [Read more...]
Two Tone Denim
The crazy denim trends going on right now are not exactly my speed. I'm more of a find what works and stick with it. I got through grade school in flares, high school in A+F minis and so far I've been sticking to skinny jeans ever since. I love mixing up the denim colors and tears to add a little variety to the fit. These two tone Marc by Marc Jacobs jeans are from 4 years ago and still in style. I wear them with boots or pumps and love the dark blue stripe down the side. … [Read more...]
Comfy Traveling
You know how you often see photos of girls jumping off planes in their tight jeans and high heels. Even better, you see photos of celebrities wearing tracksuits and strappy heels. I am not down with that trend. I hate the idea of traveling and being uncomfortable. I always want to be super comfortable, even on a few hour flight. I stock up on face moisturizer, pass on the make up and pop on the yoga pants. There is time to dress up later! … [Read more...]
