Dave turns 30 in March and over Christmas I surprised him with a weekend of skiing in Colorado. We are heading to Telluride in the middle of February and the two of us are so.excited. We are leaving Charlie at home with my parents (I am already so heartbroken to do this – did any of you leave your babies at 4.5 months old??) to allow Dave and I to have some time to ourselves which I am sad to admit we really haven’t since Charlie was born! I know it will be really good for us.

Dave has never been skiing out West and it has been years since I have hit the slopes! I am already dreaming of my packing list as my intention is to be equally stylish and cozy. Here is a little list of items I plan on bringing…

How amazing are the waterproof OTK boots? I mean talk about a necessity for life in Chicago!

My favorite weekender bag to ensure that I don’t overpack.

Distressed denim and my favorite skinny jeans.

A backpack to carry my camera and belongings while we are out and about.

Cozy layers (like this, this, this and this)

A bright ski jacket so Dave can find me 😉

My warmest and most dependable winter coat (not pictured), it is 3 coats in 1 and currently 25% off!
