If there is a singular subject thats near & dear to my heart it’s skiing. But what makes skiing so dang fun (other than swooshing down the slopes on a powder day) THE FASHION! I love modern snow bunny style, but it’s the retro ones that really grab me. Here are some favorite pieces that will look just as fabulous making turns down the slopes as they will enjoying a hot toddy by the fire. Staying warm never looked so good!

When it comes to ski clothes, I consider them to be an investment. Well made pieces can be pricy, but they should also be built to last for many seasons.

Ski Sweater: An essential for keeping the chill away. These are fun to collect and  year after year they never go out of style. As a matter of fact, the more vintage they are, the better looking sometimes.
