How far would you fly for a date?

Have been looking at weather.com for last 3 days cant believe my eyes largest storm ever 30 degrees below zero, fear of flying, and 50 seat miniature plane. Why am I going? I am dating out of the country The Western Cowboy. Unlike Barbara who tries to only do carry on, I pack my steamer truck.

High Heels, Short Skirt & Ice?

Dressing for 10 below and looking fabulous – trying to wear high heel boots on a sheet of ice. Maybe not very practical – but a bright red short sleeveless TSE cashmere dress found at TSE Cashmere Outlet in Napa, size large does not deter me, when I can re-construct it for great value. Accompanied by DSW high heel fur boots. Cold temperatures do not curtail the Canadian spirit the restaurant and bars are jammed …

Flirt with Fur

Dress by Alexander Wang, Fur from Buenos Aires

Always wear a chic vest it goes over and under everything. Down or Fur. Took an older fur jacket (faux will do) and cut off sleeves and re-style into vest. Before giving anything away  think of how to re-design, chop, crop, & wear  the backwards for another look. That’s the challenge of styling.

If you’re re-styling fur or just tyring to preserve it, we recommend JEH Fur Services in Concord, CA. Best part they pick up and deliver for free.

The Wild Wild West

For a city girl who loves to play Eloise in hotels – Mr. Cowboy surprised me  with a night at Storm Mountain Lodge  outside Banff and Lake Louise. An Historic rocky mountain retreat – secluded – your closest neighbor could be the bear, lion or coyote. 12 individual log cabins –  outfitted with massive wood burning fireplace and fabulous bed. The only reason to leave your bed is for the restaurant on property. A local award winning restaurant, fairy tale like dining room setting – lamb is the signature dish. After a couple of bottles of wine, snuggle up in the cabin, get close & take off all those layers!.

Don’t worry about calories… Burn them off

Must visit the “Fudgery” in Banff – 25 years old famous for handmade fudge. Sorry girls they do ship! Can’t worry about hips, thighs or stomach it is worth every bite.

Coyote’s Restaurant is tucked in the Canadian Rockies, in Banff. A South Western Grill where signature best breakfast dish is Huevos Rancheros. Equally great are lunch and dinner. I ate there twice in one day. Renown for their caesar salad with cilantro. Worth a trip to Banff just to eat there.

Sometimes you have to indulge, splurge, and consume – then just step up your aerobics activity to offset the calories. I don’t mean the stairmaster; what else burns calories faster and has a higher fun factor?
