Fall Travel Outfit

Hi everyone, I just landed in Las Vegas for a fun girl’s trip at the Venetian Hotel, but before I head off today enjoy the day, I wanted to share this fall travel outfit with you. I’ve noticed that you all seem to really enjoy my travel outfits on Instagram so I thought I would start posting more of those looks here on my blog. On top of that, all of the travel outfits I post are also great everyday wear.

I’m not going to lie… I did not look this put together for my 6 am flight today, but when I have more time to get dressed before flights I like to look more presentable. When it comes to putting a fall travel outfit together, I always make sure it includes 3 main components: comfortable jeans with pockets, closed toe shoes (with an extra pair of socks in my bag) and some type of outerwear.  I tried traveling in leggings for a while, but then I realized that I like having a pockets for random items so I went back to jeans. However, you can always go for a vest or jacket with pockets if you’d rather leggings! I highly suggest adding a vest to pull your whole look together and keeping a sweater in your bag so you don’t get to hot running around the airport etc!

Breckenridge, Colorado Ski Trip Review

Happy Weekend everyone! Today I’m sharing my recent Breckenridge, Colorado ski trip review. We planned the trip with some friends of ours within just a couple of weeks, but we researched a ton of cabins and condos before finally choosing our mountain top cabin via VRBO. We chose listing #765132 after reading that property offered a private hot tub plus the best views in Breckenridge, which is what sold me! Not to mention the fact that we had a huge kitchen and two large living area spaces along with enough beds and rooms for 10 people.

When we arrived to our cabin after a rather frightening drive up a winding snowy mountain, we found that the cabin definitely lived up to its title of “best views in Breckenridge.” The views from all of our oversized windows were absolutely breathtaking as you can see in these photos. The cabin also came with the coziest fireplace in the living room and get this…heated floors! We were almost never cold in our cabin! In fact, most nights we didn’t even sleep with blankets over us.

As for the one downside of our cabin, we weren’t able to walk to town. We had to take one of our rental cars or a shuttle to both to town and the slopes, which was sort of inconvenient at times when we were out of things like milk or bottled water. No one wanted to have to drive all the way down the mountain once we returned home for the day. On top of that, I personally didn’t feel comfortable driving down the mountain alone so I always had to convince someone to come with me. All in all, that was a very minute negative factor of our cabin and everything else was great. However, it’s definitely something we’ll keep in mind for next time especially if we have less people.

One last negative thing I want to touch on and this has nothing to do with our actual cabin is the way high altitudes and dry air make you feel. No one truly warned me how different my body would feel. All they said was to drink plenty of water and I literally drank 10-12 bottles of water day and I was still left with dry mouth and a headache. Also, simple tasks like lacing up my boots or walking down half a flight of stairs had me out of breath and feeling exhausted. I was still able to have fun of course. The high altitude situation was just a really big adjustment that I wasn’t aware I was going to have to make, which made sleeping difficult more than anything else. Will I go back? Absolutely! I’m just going to be more prepared next time with kleenex, cough drops, Mucinex and a humidifier. I know I may sound like a diva, but I have really aggressive allergies so I think the dry air affected me more so than it would a person without bad allergies.

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! If you saw my Instagram post last night, then know that nothing gets me more motivated to workout than new fitness apparel! Not to mention the fact that swimwear season is upon us! If you’ve been needing some extra motivation to get yourself in the gym, today is your lucky day because I’ve partnered up with VOLA Sportswear to give you 20% OFF your entire purchase as well as chance to win a pair of their printed marble leggings! We will announce the three lucky winners next Tuesday, March 24th! Good Luck!

Sizing for leggings: I usually wear a 2-4 or 26 in bottoms and I got the small in the legging and they fit perfectly. They’re a thinner material which makes them great for the warm temps headed our way.

P.S. I just want to let you know that you will rarely ever see me getting my fitness on outside! Way too hot in Louisiana for that! I’m more of a gym class girl or p90x inside! The only time you’ll ever see me running outside is if Blake bribed me with some treat I’ve been wanting. However, I do enjoy walking outside with an occasional five-minute jog in between! Haha!

Thank you to Vola Sportswear for bringing you this post. All opinions are my own.
