Happy New Year fashionistas! As some of you may know I was just in Beaver Creek and NYC for the holidays, this has been a family tradition for years and my golly is it a blast!
First on the vacation agenda was the beautiful ski village of Beaver Creek, Colorado. My family and I always stay at the Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch which is a charming ski-in/ski-out resort nestled on the base of the Bachelor Gulch mountain. We enjoy skiing in Beaver Creek due to the wide variety of slopes and breathtaking views. As for dining, Vail Valley offers a wide variety of restaurants. We loved spending Christmas Eve at Zach's Cabin (a fave spot of mine) which is an adorable cabin on the mountain that serves unbelievably delicious dishes and is famous for their nighttime sleigh ride up to the cabin. On Christmas Day, we ate at WYLD which is the new replacement for Spago's in the Ritz, the restaurant had incredible food and a delightful ambiance which made for a lovely dinner. Other nights we dined at Splendido, Zino, Sweet Basil, and many others. All of which were amazing and had unique cuisine. For Aprés Ski, I personally enjoying strolling through either Beaver Creek Village or Vail Village. A personal favorite, is the Remedy at the Four Seasons Vail, they serve unusual concoctions and innovative food and create a special experience whilst staying cozy by a nice fire looking out onto the slopes. The village of Vail also has small shops and restaurants which give the village a rustic Swiss Alps vibe while staying true to their Colorado/Western roots.
After a week in the mountains we hit up New York City for some fun! We stayed at the Four Seasons on East 57th street which is in the heart of the city. The FS is just steps away from Madison and 5th, which as you can imagine would be quite dangerous for me and my bank balance! Well of course I took advantage of our hotel's prime location and went straight to the shoe salon at Bergdorfs for their shoe sale (which btw was AMAZING)! You name it, they had it on sale, it was as if I had died and gone to shoe sale heaven. Honestly, when I die I want my ashes scattered in Bergdorfs because it is the Mecca of shops and it is every shopaholic's dream. After I broke the bank, my family and I ate at Cipriani's. If you know me well enough you can probably guess that I inhaled a giant bowl of pasta and had no regrets until I went on the scale the next morning. We also ate at Ty Bar, Le Bernardin, and Jean Georges all of which are absolute gastronomy heaven. Whether it's a six course tasting menu or a street hot dog, Posh Talk loves her food and New York is the land of all things yummy. We also went to the Museum of Modern Art which was really impressive. SoHo is one of my favorite areas in NYC due to its eclectic vibe, one afternoon I went to Laduree (which as you know is my fave), a few Sample Sales, and What Goes Around Comes Around NYC. WGACA is a vintage store which sells vintage designer goods whether it's Hermes, Chanel, Gucci, or Prada it's honestly such a cool space and is SO CHIC! All in all NYC is such a spectacular city that can be so magical and inspiring, and as they say anything can happen in a New York minute!
Overall, this trip was so fun and fabulous and is definitely one for the books!
