Good morning from Vail, CO! My mama and I are cozied up in our beautiful room at the Four Seasons with a roaring fire and a hot pot of coffee. It honestly feels like a dream!

After flying into Denver and taking a shuttle to Vail (we used Peak 1 Express for those asking, our driver Tony was the best!) we arrived at the winter wonderland that is this town just about an hour before sunset. We quickly unpacked (see more of our room on IG stories) and headed outside to catch the last bit of daylight!

I’m so glad I packed up lots of sweaters and coats, because this cold is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Oddly enough, the snow and scenery make it enjoyable, thought! And that’s saying alot coming from this Texas girl.

This faux fur hooded parka is one that I’m especially excited about. It looks just like the J.Crew style, but so much cheaper. In fact, it’s on sale for 50% off today! For size reference, I’d recommend ordering one up from your usual dress size. Also… it’s actually named the “Vail Parka.” How perfect! :)

What I’m really excited about, though, are these adorable boots! Y’all… they are the most comfortable things ever. Even softer and fluffier than uggs! I’ve had so much fun wearing them in actual snow already, and can’t wait to sport them all week! P.S. I snagged this pink color during a restock last week… keep your eyes peeled for another if you’d like this color!

My mom and I are about to dive into a pancake breakfast and take a few altitude adjustment tablets before heading out to explore the town this morning! Sending you lots of snowy love!

Love from Texas,

Kate
