Back up at our ski house for yet another long weekend. Oh I’m not complaining, just saying. I love going up to the house. It’s relaxing in one aspect yet wild and super fun on the other.

Question, is there ever a need for a black tie gown in Vermont? Answer, not that I know of. In all of my years of going up there, winter/spring/summer/fall, I’ve never seen anyone dressed up. NEVER! Not even casually stylish in a nice dark rinse skinny jean. Then again, why would they. I totally get it. However that doesn’t stop me from packing one of my favorite gowns.

This gown in particular was gifted to me a few years. I love it now, just as much as I did when it was first delivered to my door. It took several days but once I was done with all the alterations, I was ready to walk the red carpet (in my head).

If you follow my blog, then you know we have a ski house. What’s the best nearby, snow filled, winter weekend location… Vermont! West Dover, Vermont to be exact.

You already know what my house looks like so I won’t bore you with those photos or my usual long body of text. I’ll let these pictures do all the talking. Wait, I take that back, I’ll provide you with crib notes regarding the weekend.

Every year Mount Snow celebrates Mardi Gras. For some reason this, they cancelled it this year. That being, be decided to celebrate it at home.

We arrived at the house Thursday afternoon, went grocery shopping and then lounged in front of the fire place until it was time to go to bed. Friday, we spent all day on the snowmobiles, riding the trails behind our house. Saturday, went dogsledding in the morning with a friend, (lots & lots of fun). We then went up to the mountain for several hours and then came back to the house for some late day fun on the snowmobiles (yes, once again). Sunday, on the road by 1pm, heading home to NYC before the snow storm got too bad.

*Fun dog sledding video I captured, at the end of this post.

Though I complain to no end about how cold the city is, I kind of look forward to it. In the large scheme of things, we only have a short period of time when it’s freezing out. During this time, I take full advantage of the low temps and high winds by pulling out my favorite winter hat.

Traditionally worn by Russian Troopers, the Ushanka is also known as the Ear Hat. My hat was purchased at Red Square, Russia over 10yrs ago. One of my ex-boyfriends ( my favorite ex ;> ) brought this back from holiday. Too bad he only got to wear it once. Thanks A.S., I think it suites me better.

Now I know a lot of people are against fur…. not this girl. Nothing like the real thing. Faux fur looks so synthetic and in most cases, so inexpensive. Faux fur has no durability or warmth and isn’t that the purpose of having fur.

Just the opinion of a girl who wears fur, leather and eats red meat.
