  1. Interesting how setting makes the difference. In a ski lodge I would find these looks charming, might even wish I had a piece. Outside of their natural habitat, I'd find them too girlish or "too von Trapp", vhatever zat isss, schatzie!

  4. Duchesse - so true. I'd feel quite comfortable in an ensemble like that at a resort, but would be hesitant to wear back in the "real world" which is why I don't tend to buy those lovely things.

    Daffodil - you're very welcome. It was a fun exercise, and I'll probably do more along these lines.

    Karen - thank you! I'm a bit tempted by those boots myself!

  5. Those boots in #2 are very similar to my F&B boots which I love off the ski hill (although mine have a leather sole, so no snow/ice traction at all)

  6. The Hills are Alive!
    I love the Alpine jacket.

    And yes, the boots in polyvore two are great.

  9. Hi Une Femme! I am a new vistor. I love the handbag in the top picture. I linger over it in each newly delivered Gorsuch catalog...and have visited in when I am it Vail each summer. Trouble is I have a weakness for Hermes scarves!

  10. Hi Windy City Girl, welcome and thanks for reading! Yes, I too am a Hermès scarf addict. That Bottega Veneta bag is gorgeous as well. You should keep an eye on Bluefly.com. if you love Bottega bags. They have BV items regularly at a discount. A couple of years ago, I purchased a BV "ball bag" (a style of hobo) from them during one of their "additional 20% off" days and it was about 40% off the current retail price.

    Thanks again for stopping by and for your comment.
