Memories from a weekend getaway to a cute cabin in Memories from a weekend getaway to a cute cabin in the Hudson Valley with my college besties. No matter how many years have past, how many life changes, it feels like nothing has changed when we’re together. And even when our schedules feel impossibly crazy and complicated, it’s all worth it when the group chat becomes real chat. Love you ladies! ❤️

A little recap of the best places we ate, shopped, A little recap of the best places we ate, shopped, and where we stayed on our recent trip to Breckenridge & Vail for spring break. Of course these recs are fantastic during ski season, but I bet many are open and fabulous for late spring and summer trips too!
.
STAY 
- Crystal Peak Lodge - This lodge was right on the mountain within a stones throw of the gondolas & lifts, with a picturesque lounge area, outdoor hot tubs, as well as a 24 hr front desk. And with @epicpass we got 20% off our lodging!
.
EAT
- @Breckdistillery - An impressive selection of whiskey, gin, and other spirits -- everything on their cocktail menu is made in-house. The mouthwatering steak selection and globally-inspired menu makes for an elevated dining experience.
- @micasabreck - I have the best memories of getting tex mex for dinner on ski trips as a kid, so I had to continue the tradition with my family. This place hit the spot - killer salsas and delicious tacos! 
- @blucowcafe (Vail) - Get the European mountain experience with these yummy Swiss hot dogs, fantastic beer selection, and the most magical chicken noodle soup you've ever had.
.
SHOP
- @Limber.Grove - A ski and snowboard store featuring mind-blowing skis and boards designed by independent artists. Definitely check out their apparel too! 
- @vintagebohoindielove - Really cool vintage and current clothes from indie designers. I picked up a fun pair of sunglasses I had to wear immediately.
- @breckkidzboutique - Super cute clothes, mostly for younger kids. Fun Breck-themed hats and sweatshirts, too!
- @gorsuch (Vail) - Admittedly very high end, but it's fun just to peruse for inspiration even if you're not buying. I love the alpine-inspired furniture and homewares and ritzy ski clothing. The outside is such an aesthetic.
.
Much thanks to my friend & Summit County expert @adriennesaia for many of these recommendations!
Brunch, shopping, and the company of tremendously Brunch, shopping, and the company of tremendously talented women — is there anything better?

I had the pleasure of being treated to all of the above at a trunk show featuring the newest collections from @jennycipolettijewelry and @sarahflint_nyc at one of the beautiful townhouses at @rosewoodwashingtondc. As a longtime fan of @jennycipoletti, it was an absolute pleasure to meet her IRL and see her stunning designs up close. I’ve always heard rave reviews about the comfort level of Sarah Flint’s shoes and I can now attest, that yes, the hype is very real (and the latest styles are extremely covetable). 
.
Thanks you so much to @cutdc for hosting us for a mouthwatering brunch and lively conversation with some of my favorite DC area creators. It was truly one for the books!

I can’t tell you how many times we got this ques I can’t tell you how many times we got this question when we told people what we were doing for spring break, but it is possible!

@breckenridgemtn is one of the few ski resorts that stays open late in the season and statistically has great conditions through April. With our @epicpass we got 20% off our on-mountain lodging and were also able to ski/snowboard for no additional cost at nearby @vailmtn (which ended up being open later than we originally thought). I’d never done spring skiing out west and now I see why everyone raves about it. The weather’s fantastic, the snow feels amazing, and the mountains are stunning. 
.
My next post I’ll share a round up of where I ate, shopped & stayed. This trip was too good not to share!

We just got back from an action-packed, yet restorative week in Breckenridge, CO (with some day trips to Vail), exploring all the Rockies had to offer. I used to come out to this area with my family when I was a kid and it was so special to share this with my son on his first trip.

Putting together some recs to share with you all soon, because this trip was one for the books!

If you haven’t been to the quaint town of Marsha If you haven’t been to the quaint town of Marshall, Virginia, this is your sign to plan a getaway. 
.
Just an hour’s drive from DC, this spot has all the components of a great weekend: great dining options, cute shops & laid back vibes. 
Here’s my recs:
.
Dining:
@redtruckbakery - nationally known for their award-winning pies & cookbook, both @barackobama & @oprah are fans. We stopped in for a breakfast biscuit & pastries & were not disappointed.
@thewholeox - a high-end independent butcher that offers gourmet foods in addition to mouthwatering meats & prepared foods. Grab lunch at one of their in-shop tables. 
@fieldandmain - the original reason for our visit, this is one of Virginia’s best restaurants & a fantastic dinner spot.
.
Shopping:
@froststreetcollective - a beautifully-curated collection of vintage & antique furniture at very reasonable prices. 
Vintage - another great vintage furniture spot. Marshall might now be my go-to for unique furniture finds. 
.
Lodging:
The Rooms Up There - this cozy BnB offers a few charming rooms just a stones throw from all of these places. Charming & quiet, this was the perfect spot for an escape from the city.

A dinner date at @fieldandmain with our very good A dinner date at @fieldandmain with our very good friends, who’ve been telling us for too long how great this place is (spoiler alert: they were right!).
.
This delicious farm to table menu changes regularly with what’s available locally and seasonally, which means you can come back again and again and always find something different. My seared trout in coconut and harrisa broth was so delicious and satisfying, I’d love if it was on the menu year round!
.
They also do a mystery red and white wine (both excellent) and if you can guess the grape, it’s half off. Not to brag, but I nailed my white. 😏

This dinner was a lovely excuse to make an overnight stay in the cute town of Marshall, VA — details & recs to come!
