Adventuring

Swimsuits, towels and one seriously good cooler bag.
Halfdays came out with bib overalls (yayyyy!!) & an extra-warm puffer jacket. They also expanded their colors. But I've been meaning to talk about their baselayers — some of my absolute faves.
What's new with Halfdays, and a special discount code juuuust for us.
It's full steam ahead toward winter + holiday outfits, & we have the deals covered. Warm coats, cozy loungewear & soft sweaters on sale at Nordstrom, Gap & more.
When packing for a trip, sometimes I just need to get pointed in the right direction. And while most of my packing decisions for a ski weekend are obvious (skis, boots, helmet, goggles, etc.,), nailing that breezy, effortlessly chic après ski vibe (so prevalent in ski towns), does take some actual thought.

And the views, of course, the views...whether it be mountains, a river, the woods...I'll take it all, thank you. We haven't yet ventured back into the world of hike-in...
