Happy 2018! My last post was published in 2017 and I took a mini break to enjoy a vacation with the hubs and some of our favorite travel buddies. Travel recap coming soon…
Today I wanted to share a casual winter outfit the hubs snapped a picture of while we were between activities. Cold weather is one of my favorites (mainly because of the fashion)! Obviously as a Texan we don’t get to wear our winter gear very often, but when I do I like to add lots of layers and textures to give the outfit some interest. Another way to add interest is to add color. Winter tends to be drab and if you’re anything like me then your closet consists of basic colors (black, white, navy, tan…). I find versatile pieces to be the best use of my money, but I’ve mentioned that a time or two before. 😉
This casual winter outfit was on repeat in Colorado! It’s comfy and cozy! When I wasn’t in ski-gear this is what I was wearing. Many of the items are old so I linked similar products in case you want to recreate the look.
I hope your 2018 is off to a positive start and you continue to come back and interact with me here! Until next post…xoxo Becca

Hi all! TGIF! In my London recap I mentioned a family Christmas trip to Jackson Hole, WY was in the works. Well that trip is finally here. We leave Monday morning for a winter wonderland. In previous posts about travel I have given pieces of information on what we have planned so I thought I would do a brief one here. Sidenote: I may or may not be stalking Jackson Hole’s instagram to see all the pretty snow.
Weather
I think the whole family has been monitoring the weather. Looks like a lot of snow and super cold temperatures. I.Am.So.Excited 🙂
Where We Are Staying
In a few trips this year, the hubs and I booked an airbnb to stay in, but his parents reserved a townhouse through VRBO. Has anyone used VRBO and airbnb before? I’m curious to see how the two compare. According to the property description, it is within walking distance to downtown Jackson and near the Snow King Ski resort. Sounds super convenient.
What We’ll Do
I am truly hoping for a relaxing vacation. There haven’t been many opportunities to relax this year. No skiing for anyone which is kind of ironic since Jackson Hole is a ski resort haha A sleigh ride through the National Elk Refuge has been arranged. I think this will be beautiful! We’re trying to pin down a snowmobiling excursion that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Dog sledding would be fun too. The Ariel Tram may be a good way to get some amazing photos (plus I read there is a must try waffle place at the top). The hubs and I took an ariel tram in Katoomba, Australia and ended up with some good photos. So far I have read a lot of “best restaurant” guides and assume that means we will be doing a lot of eating while there. Hello gym in January!
I’m very excited and ready to get there. As always, follow along on SnapChat (@r8d6g) to see our adventures.
Until next post…xoxo Becca
