Hello from sunny California! It is strange coming back to the state of my childhood after all these years, knowing that it is now my home once again…

It has been a dream of mine to stay at Edson Hill for several years now, and my dream finally came true this winter. My expectations were high going in, and were met above-and-beyond all the way through the stay…

I’ve always been practical when it comes to my ski/snowboard fashion. I’ve never gone for the coyote fur lined collars and moon boots…that style is just too impractical for me. I want to look like a dressed for what I am doing, and where I am going, while still looking stylish. That’s where Alps & Meters comes in…

Tucked away in northern-most Vermont is the small, Alpine-inspired town of Stowe. The Von Trapp Family built their lodge there, and the style took off. Cabins and motels were built with an alpine twist, and now the whole town is a blend of the New England countryside and quaint Austrian chalets. It’s a whimsical, little place…

I am not a coffee drinker, so I drink hot chocolate instead. It’s hard to find a good hot chocolate at restaurants and coffee shops, but this simple, easy recipe, you can make at home, and will be 10x better than the ones you can buy…

Oh guys, this is the absolute BEST time of year for sweater lovers! Not only is it the perfect weather to throw on a cozy, chunky knit…but so many sweaters are starting to go on sale in the shops! I’m going to do a quick roundup of my favorite après ski style sweaters, many of which are on sale or in the clearance sections…

A layer of snow covering the ground, and a roaring fire in the fire pit. Woodsmoke mixed with the sounds of Henry Mancini wafting through the air. 15 degree temps, and hot cheese boiling away in the pot. Pretzels hanging from a stand, and a Toblerone at every place. THIS is how you throw a Fondue party in the winter…

Every year I have a good list of movies that I watch in the winter, and in the winter only. Any movies that have snow scenes, ski scenes, and the cozy feels that I love are on this list…

I am not the biggest New Year resolution list maker, but this year I had a few things in mind that I want to be better at, and I thought I would share those in this post. Let’s make 2021 the year where we get excited for what the future holds, and start making plans again…

Now that the holidays are upon us, and the air gets a familiar chill; our minds start to turn to the cozy comforts of the season…hot chocolate, very importantly, being one of them…

I need to take a moment to rave about one of my favorite winter brands. Alps & Meters is winter sport/skiwear company that I have so much love and respect for. They have, with absolute perfection, married style, quality, and function…

My visit to Mohonk Mountain House was an incredible experience; there was so much to do there in the wintertime! I knew for this trip I had to pack a cozy wardrobe to combat the cold winter temps, but I also wanted to keep it sporty and active for all the activities we would be doing…

After years of following the Mohonk Mountain House on Instagram, drooling over photos of ice skating, giant porches, and hiking around the historic property and gorgeous lake, my dream of staying there finally came true…

There is a cozy room in a countryside inn in Vermont that I have been dreaming of for over a year now, and that dream came true for me this winter!…

Packing for a cozy winter getaway in Vermont is my kind of packing. All the cozy wool, fair isle, buffalo check, and thick wood coats…just a few of my favorite things…

Riding the coat tails of my “How to Enjoy Winter” post, I wanted to share some winter fashion pieces I am loving at the moment! I grew up in southern CA, and didn’t really own any real sweaters; there was no need. Now that I am in the snowier, colder climate of New England, I go overboard every year with my sweater buying.

I can’t believe it’s been 100 years since the start of the roaring 20’s, can you?! In celebration, we rang in the New Year at the one of my favorite places in New England, Nantucket!

This is a subject that is near and dear to my heart, and that I’ve been giving a lot of thought as of late…

While Scotland was relatively devoid of Christmas decor, the holidays were in full swing in England. Our time in the Cotswolds was too short, but we were able to pack in so many festive things.
