What to Wear and Do on A Girl's Trip

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Are you as happy to see the weekend as I am? Today, I am joining my friend, Dawn, with Party Til Dawn with a blog and Instagram share. Recapping our girlfriend’s “work and play” girl’s trip. We had the pleasure of combining work and play for a fun Girl’s weekend. Shopping, Hair, nails or a spa day, wine tasting, watching a movie, and dining are always delightful on a girl’s trip in Kirkland, Washington.

A little look back at my girl’s weekend with Dawn. We stayed at the beautiful Heathman Hotel in Kirkland, WA. Located just a block from Lake Washington and surrounded by great restaurants and shopping, it is a must-stay when you visit! You are also just minutes away from Shop Totem Lake. The Heathman has a beautiful lobby to cozy up next to the fire with a cup of coffee to start your day. And an excellent onsite restaurant and bar where we shared appetizers and drinks after a long work day.

A little sleeping in and enjoying a coffee with a view in my room, wearing Print Fresh PJ, of course. (You know these are some of my go-to pj’s) The Heathman has in-room coffee, tea, and comfy couches, and my room had a pretty view overlooking the cute shops across the street.

A Walk & Breakfast at Kirkland bakery right across from the  Hotel, and of so good we had to stop by multiple times.

This bakery and coffee house had the best croissants (like I was in Paris, and I am not joking). So good I took a box home for the guys. Everything we tried, we loved. Isn’t that one of your favorite things to do while traveling? Trying out and tasting the foods.

WOODINVILLE WINE COUNTRY

Yes, Seattle has a wine culture; who knew? Dawn and I met one of Dawn’s followers, Karin, for this fun experience. (now Karin and I follow each other and chat via dm daily) Another fun part of our job is building relationships that turn into friendships. We had a fun day experiencing three different wineries, tasting three wines per winery owned and created by women.

5 Steps to Throwing the Perfect Galentines Party

5 Steps to Throwing the Perfect Galentines

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and there is something so fun about celebrating the friendships in your life by having a Galentine’s party. So today I am sharing 5 Steps to Throwing the Perfect Galentines Party. With items to decorate from Walmart that are so festive and affordable. Along with a couple of outfits, ideas I think you’ll love.

 

What is Galentine’s Day

Galentine’s Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated on February 13th. The holiday was made popular by the TV series Parks and Recreation and celebrated female friendships and relationships, especially if you don’t have a significant other. Galentine’s Day involves women honoring the important ladies in their lives through gift exchanges, dinners, gatherings, spa days, and more. It’s a great time to show appreciation for the strong bonds between women!

 

5 Steps to Throwing the Perfect Galentines

 

 5 Steps to Throwing the Perfect Galentines:

1. Set the Scene: Decorations, snacks, and atmosphere are essential (see my picks above)

2. Pick Your Guests: Invite your best gals for a night of laughter, stories, and fun.

3. Plan an Activity: Whether you watch a movie together or play a game, choose something everyone will enjoy!

4. Honor Each Other: Give thoughtful cards or gifts to show each other how much they mean to you.

5. Serve food & drinks: Serve decadent treats like chocolate-dipped strawberries or heart-shaped cookies. Or Wow them with a chocolate fondu Charcutier board! Easy to put together and looks so festive. Really Celebrate your friendship over a delicious meal!

Cold winter weather looks… Layered up✔️ from leggings, flares, and skinny jeans…. This a little inspiration to shop your closet and see what you can create from what you have…

A Year of Cabana Life Resort Wear

A Year of Cabana Life Resort Wear

Cabana life resort wear year recap

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Are you headed on Vacation? Sharing today A Year of Cabana Life Resort Wear. Resort wear with Cabana life SPF 50 clothing for the whole family, perfect if you’re headed somewhere warm🌴✨ In 2023, I know I have planned a couple of vacations. If you follow me, you know I love to travel and am always looking for an adventure.

I am sharing a year recap of Vacation resort wear🌴🌸 The piece I love traveled so well, looked great, and you could wear it from the pool to lunch or shopping! I was lucky to have traveled a ton in 2022 from Florida, California, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nevada, Seattle, and several weekend getaways. Cabana Life clothing came with me on every trip.

Protection from the sun without having to apply harmful sunscreens is essential, as I have dealt with skin cancer. 

I love that most of the pieces can be transitioned to other seasons and dressed up or down! Check out my Travel recaps for more on every 2022 travel destination. Not only do I share how I styled each piece and what I loved about it for that trip, I give you some great travel tips and must-visit places to eat and see.

What to wear for Apres Ski

What to wear for Apres Ski

What to wear for Apres Ski

 

Hello Pretty Ladies,

 Tomorrow, I have a “Fashion Fix” segment on ABC “s What to wear for Apres Ski.

( Stream live from anywhere  HERE. )

I thought it would be fun to share some Winter apparel to wear for Apres ski or items you can take on your next ski trip. So I shopped at local places to pick up things I thought were unusual and pieces you could wear all Winter long, whether you ski or not.

What to wear for Apres Ski

Winter Apparel 

Living in Utah, you need several good winter pieces to keep you warm, but let’s face it, if you like me, you want to look cute too…this is where Apres Ski comes in….

For Apres ski, you don’t have to be a skier. Whether you’re heading to the lodge for a yummy drink or a delicious meal, you could look like it. Because let me tell you, many ski areas have fantastic food.

Or if you’re Heading out to shop in a mountain town. For example, park City, Ut, Big Bear lake, Ca, Sun Valley, ID, or Aspen, Co. These looks will fit you right in.

What to wear for Apres Ski

Shop this Sweater Ski Here: (Tap on the photo below)

Above is what I wore in today’s Segment. 

 

Definition of Apres Ski

Apres Ski: social activity (as at a ski lodge) after a day’s skiing

One of my favorite parts of a ski trip is getting dressed for Apres Ski.

I love A faux fur Sherpa layered look, but I also adore the ski sweater, layered puffer jacket, and great snow boots look. 

This is the time to wear the fab beanie and faux fur-trimmed pieces and layer up.

Shopping Local

We Have a cute full-service Ski shop in Eden, Utah, called Diamond Peak. They have everything you need for skiing, snowboarding, and in the warmer months. Biking in warmer months, everything From hard goods to some of the cutest clothing for Men, women, and children.

Here I picked up this cute Obermeyer mountain scene ski jacket with fur collar, so cute for Apres Ski,  paired with wax-coated black jeans and a fair isle sweater. Assorted Beanies,  especially fur Pom poms, make a great accessory and Mittens. Being warm and cozy also is a must for cozying up by the fire with a warm drink.

Super soft and warm mock neck tunics and Sherpa pullovers also help keep you warm while being perfect for Apres Ski paired with leggings or jeans, cute Sorel fur-lined boots, a beanie, and an excellent puffer jacket.

Shopping in small specialty shops makes it easy to find unique pieces for Winter that help you look chic while being layered up.

Diamond peak carries= Patagonia, The North Face, Helly Hansen, Obermeyer, Mountain Hardware, Rossignol, Burton, Volcom, Roxy, Smartwool, Hot Chilly’s, Angel, Sorel. You can follow them on Instagram HERE, Or call (801) 745-0101 to order

A little something for everyone…10 dresses & Styling ideas

-Ruffles & Bows
-Show a little leg
-Calf & Maxi length for those who don’t 
-Casual- Everyday-Workwear and -Travel
-Color- Neutrals and Print

A few style TIPs and the BIGGEST style mistake….

Just putting on the dress and not accessorizing …. Take NOTE of every look… Shoes, Bag, Jewlery and finishing accessories ✔️✔️✔️

Accessorizing can make or break your look… Styling doesn’t have to be hard or over the top… but it is something you don’t want to skip…

Changing your bag takes 3 minutes, picking a shoe can be an issue for some. Tip: pick a neutral sandal or heel, 1 good neutral sandal & Bag can work for all these looks. (I’ve linked several over on my blog and in stories) 

- A great gold or silver stack of bracelets, a favorite necklace and earrings will work if you are a minimalist..

If you’re a Maximalists like me😉 you’ll have a collection for every season, every “vibe” and several choices to change the looks….

You can be classic and chic, simple and elegant, boho and layered…. Just DON’T skip accessorizing😉

I can’t believe how fast time has flown by 🤍

It’s been so fun watching him grow from a  little pistol into this young man🤍and amazing New daddy. 

His determination, and strong will, made him a great athlete, while his tender heart  and sensitivity & caring has made him kind to others. He’s loyal, has a strong work ethic and a joy for adventure. 

He’s our boy that would want to save every kitten and brought us home our beloved Binx and Little Miss…

The pickiest eater ever, until about the age of 12, and  He wouldn’t try a burger until age 13! (Thank goodness that’s all changed) 😉

So many memories , yet doesn’t seem like it could already be 23 years! 
Proud of the man and watching him become a daddy has been one of our biggest joys🤍🤍
