How to Be More Adventurous
Even touching on the topic of adventure…it’s kind of funny to me. I was that timid, shy, kid who, as a toddler, had a perpetual worried look on my face, and was scared of almost everything. So now, sitting here as a 27 year old, trying to live life as adventurously as possible, with a little streak of adrenaline junkie in me…how can I possibly be the same person?…
A Classic: White Shirt and Jeans
The white button down shirt is a staple for any closet, because of one reason: you can always use it.

Best Ski Fashion - Alps & Meters
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…
Travel Guide to Stowe, Vermont
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…

How To Host a Fondue Party
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…
Winter Whites
To match the wintery-ness of the fluffy snow backdrop, I decided to go through my closet and grab some winter whites to bundle up in for the skate. Creams and off whites are one of my favorite winter looks, and the 8 or so cream sweaters in my closet prove that…
