fashion and F U R

 Walking around Vail Village is always fantastic. Its like we were swept off to a European country. As there are alot of different languages being spoken and the fashion + style is always the best as you walk through the narrow streets.  I almost feel like I am walking through a movieset, it is so perfect.

I especially love window shopping and then occasionally stepping inside of all the high end retail shops. Like the designer fur store above…the quality and details are impeccable and I can only dream. However there are so many new alternatives to the full FUR coat and this season is perfect for it. You can still get fur in your wardrobe within the details…..fur collars, fur boots, fur vests, fur leg warmers, fur on heels, fur hats, fur scarves, etc so the options are endless.

However a little fur accent goes along way so don’t overdo it but have fun with it, nonetheless.

 Another favorite from the mountain villages are all the ski l outdoor shops that are filled full with not only all the sporting equipment for skiing, but the fashion coats and accessories are multiplied. I was in heaven looking at all the great colors and varieties in the downfilled coats that you can see…..have a little fur hood detail. Which is soooooo cozy and perfect for those windy, cool winter days.

After the afternoon of shopping, we headed to a fun filled night at Beano’s Cabin. If you are ever in Beaver Creek, Co…..Beano’s is a must. Just know you have to make reservations and you meet in the village before being transported up to the cabin. In the winter, the ride to the top of the mountain was pretty chilly, to say the least. But the amazing views and landscape around overtook the coldness that we felt. Plus once you arrive, there are beautiful fireplaces in the restaurant and the food + wine from the 5 course dinner was unbelievably good.

A quick shot before we road to the top of the mountain. After this shot was taken, my fur hood quickly went up and my fur gloves were already on! Cheers to fabulous fashion + food l wine + snow in Colorado!

new year N E W L O O K

As we enter into 2012, sgv S T Y L E wanted to restylize the look of the blog, so we hope you all enjoy. One of our resolutions for the new year is to share more STYLE . more ART . and more DESIGN. We have some exciting things in the works that we will share with you all very throughout the year.

Until then, we wanted to share details of the new images above:

  • The 3 images include store design + fashion that we were enlightened with during our wonderful trip to Italy last spring. What a world of paradise if you love GOOD DESIGN + GOOD FASHION ….. amazing amazing!
  • The single top image is one we will treasure forever. When we made the final decision to move to our new city . Dallas TX, I instantly knew there was one thing we had to do before leaving. We needed to capture a little of the city and our dear photographer friend, Ginger Salmon, exceeded our vision. We started out one Sunday morning around 6:15 a.m. for some fabulous hair + makeup, with our fabulous friend, Lindsey Regan Thorne “be pretty”. Once she finished her magic, we hit the streets of Charlotte NC with Ginger. We will remember that day as we have the photography that says it all. Plus there was nothing better than enjoying that special morning with our lovely and talented friends, Lindsey Regan Thorne  + Ginger Salmon. Many thanks + love to you both for capturing us in the “city”.

Happy New Year . hoping 2012 has much happiness for all!
