MB: wanderlust

Happy weekend my dears! I'm off to Montreal for a few days of R&R and catching up with some of my favorite people. I was fortunate enough to do a lot of traveling growing up, but surprisingly I've never been to Montreal. So thrilled to explore this beautiful city. Have you been to Montreal? Where's your favorite place you've ever traveled to?

Here are a few of my favorites from this week:

Hello dears! I'm excited to introduce my very first guest blogger, Marion from Marionberry Style. This time of year always makes me wish I was in the mountains, curled up by the fireplace. Can't think of a better way to spend Thanksgiving weekend! So I'm thrilled that Marion is here today sharing about her home state of Colorado and some gorgeous Vail couture.

Welcome Marion!

Hi everyone!

My name is Marion and I publish a very new blog called Marionberry Style. Mae is one of my favorite style bloggers, thus I was super excited when she asked me to produce an article for her blog!

I live in Colorado. Denver to be exact. About an hour away is an incredible, magical place called Vail. And to be honest...I am obsessed with this place. I love the fact that you walk the cobblestone streets and within 2 minutes you've heard 10 different languages. I love seeing beautiful women (usually with their much much older husbands!) sport the latest in boots, fur, bags, you name it.

Oh sure...you could get away with the ski boots, wool hat and the North Face coat since it is first and foremost a ski town. But when the lifts close and you and your girlfriends are stepping out for an evening in the village, you'll need to wear something a little more appropriate. Something beautiful + eye catching + warm + and most of all trendy.

Here is the outfit I pulled together for a magical evening out in Vail Village:

A few notes:

In most ski towns, it is quite cold at night so this Vivienne Westwood coat would surely keep you cozy. The color is the focus of the outfit. A thin, fitted sweater is all you would need underneath (stay away from cowl necks or bulky sweaters).
Vail Village calls for something more than your average calf-high boot. Thigh high boots are very trendy and make a statement. Your older husband loves them.
Just like Mae, I'm loving Tory Burch accessories right now :-)

Thank you so much for reading and thank you Mae for inviting me!

XO - Marion

Thanks Marion!

I've got a major case of wanderlust now!

How gorgeous is that view? And that jacket!

I couldn't help but share a few images of Vail that popped up in my Pinterest feed:
