I'm someone who needs a little break from routine every once in a while and what better way to indulge than with a mini-vacay? A good friend invited my man and I to spend a night with her and her man in Mont Tremblant- a well known ski resort in Québec, a two hours drive from me. It was my first time in Tremblant and the weather was beautiful. We decided not to go skiing as none of us are experts (I only went once over 10 years ago and it was a terrifying experience for someone who is queasy with heights) and the skiing conditions were less than ideal due to the spring-like weather. Instead we spent our brief time at Cap Tremblant (where we stayed in a 2 bedroom condo with an unbeatable view), sitting in the sun, laughing, drinking wine, soaking in the hot-tub, walking around the European style village and indulging in fatty foods.
{I'm participating in Inspiration Monday & Stripes Remix Challenge today. My maxi dress and heels received some strange looks from skiiers but hey who says you can't be fashionable on top of a snowy mountain?}

| We paid the piéton (pedestrian) fee and rode the enclosed glass pods up to the top of the mountain which was enough to get my adrenaline pumping and to produce a few high pitched screams as we plummeted 2871 feet! |
Are you a skier or would you prefer to stay at the bottom of the slopes in front of a fire with a hot chocolate and good book?
i would prefer to stay at the bottom, but maybe with a glass of wine and a book! ; ) you look lovely, i love the patterns mixed together!
ReplyDeleteoooh, i love the village in tremblant, but like you, i super fail at skiing so don't bother!
ReplyDeletethat maxi dress is AMAZING and i love how you paired it with the stripes :)
I love how you styled the dress-so creative! Great pictures!

I'm ALWAYS for mini vacations! I'm not a skier-- I have awful hand/eye coordination, so I try to stay away from sports. haha.

I love the composition of that first photo! The perfect balance between the two schools of tourist pictures: pics of the place and pics of the people!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely a foot of the hill with a book by the fire kind of girl. Strapping boards to my feet and throwing myself down a hill for amusement? I think not!
emily it looks & sounds like such a fun mini-vacay! i was wondering how people were going to style the two birds look. you did a fabulous job! i like the colors & patterns including your pretty nails. :)i took a skiing class in college, but i wasn't very good. :P
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous! I hope you're having a great time. I agree with Cara. I am definitely a book+fire person. I'd most likely ride the lift up the mountain and back down just to see the sights, but me? skiing? hahah, no.
ReplyDeletelove your necklace! jealous of your vacation!
ReplyDeletexxxo,

The place looks so pretty - I so want to visit there now!

Mini-vacations are the only reason I survive, sometimes. Day trips do the trick for me! I'm glad that you had a great weekend, though. It sounds fun!

HaHa! A fire and hot chocolate for me. LOL Glad you had an awesome time. The pics are pretty. Love your dress.

You look so pretty. I'll meet you at the fire. I'm not one to go out in the cold just to fall down a hill. :)
ReplyDeleteooh. stripes and leopard. love!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely not a skier! so, your variant sounds way better :P +maybe a long walk to photograph the mountains.. anyway, what an awesome vacation! I miss mine but well, almost two months left till the first one..
ReplyDeleteand I think maxi dress + leather jacket is a nice combo! (don't care what the skiers think :D

I am so loving that maxi dress with the yellow belt and stripes. What a fun outfit. They were only staring at you because they were jealous. I can't blame you for not wanting to ski. I've never been and I never want to because I know I will end up in the hospital with broken bones if I do :)

Wow, loved your outft (skirt and the beautiful necklace!) and the views! Amazing, really!
ReplyDeleteGood that you had such a lovely weekend!
As for me, I decided not to go skiing. I won;t say never, but I don;t think it's something for me. I prefer the hot chocolate!
It looks so cute there! Loving that dress you're wearing :)

Yeah, I'm not much of a skiing fan, so your weekend sounds perfect to me! Would much rather stay at the bottom of the hill! And I adore your dress, it's super fun! Love all your pictures, it just looks like such a wonderful time!
ReplyDeletelooks like you had a great trip.
ReplyDeleteYour dress is beautiful and it sounds like you had an amazing trip. I am definitely not a skiier. I think it is terrifying too. I have a huge fear of heights and falling and breaking bones. But curled up in front of a fireplace with some hot chocolate sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to try skiing, but haven't had the chance yet! So in love with that dress, what a gorgeous thrift find!!
ReplyDeleteL.o.v.e. your print mixing here...and the unique styling of your cropped top with the maxi. Quite jealous of the good food and fun scenery!

I adore your dress! The pattern and colors are just beautiful! Being from Louisiana and Florida, I can honestly say I've never skied. In fact, I've only seen snow a handful of times!
ReplyDeleteso jealous
ReplyDeletehusband and son said it was like a fairytale land there, especially at night
surprised there was even skiing available it has been so warm

Mont Tremblant is such a beautiful area! I was there once years ago. I love the pattern mix! Very edgy, especially when you're wearing the jacket!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!! You know, I've never been skiing, but I think I'd prefer the hot cocoa and a good book.
ReplyDeleteI've never been up there - I am NOT a skier - but that actually looks like a place I may have to visit, the town looks adorable! Not to nitpick or say anything negative but... wouldn't your little striped top have looked better knotted beneath your bust?
