To make winter a bit more fun, we’re escaping to a mountain cabin for everything from cozy  date night dinners to hikes in sweeping snowy scenes. Discover how to create an idyllic winter escape, plus all the essential looks to pack. 

The Fireside Fair Isle

Channel aspirational alpine vibes in this cool, relaxed fit, yet classic fair isle knit. Create your own après scenewith a homemade fire and a delicious hot beverage.

The Luxe Lounge Set

Just in: new athleisure in a simple, sleek color story that’s cozy enough to curl up at home but elevated enough to feel like you’re still put together.

The Slope Suit

Invest in technical wear that is equally as fashionable as it is functional. 

The Date Night Look

Add some cool factor to your date night look by pairing wide leg denim and a flirty blouse. Must-haves: music, a glass of wine, and statement earrings.

Silja’s Fresh Pasta Recipe

Ingredients
A splash of water as needed
400g durum flour (or 00 flour)
Pinch of salt
2 whole eggs plus 2 egg yolks
Instructions
1. Pour the flour on the table and sprinkle a pinch of salt over the flour. Create a well in the middle of the flour and add the whole eggs and egg yolks. Whisk the eggs in the well with a fork and then start to pull the flour from the outside to the center. Continue to incorporate the eggs and flour until dough is formed adding splashes of water if needed to help form the dough to a play-dough like consistency. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, it should feel smooth to the touch and hold together nicely. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature on the counter.
2. Cut the dough into 8 equal parts with a pastry cutter and run the dough through the pasta maker starting thick and moving to thinner settings (as instructed by your specific brand of pasta maker) Use a pizza cutter or pasta blade/cutter to cut into pasta strands. I like to make mine about 3/4-1inch in thickness.
3. Boil water and add some salt, once the water comes to a rolling boil, add fresh pasta and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Strain pasta and toss in a little olive oil so it doesn’t stick! Add your favorite sauce :) I love Pasta Grannies ragu recipe or simply cooking organic grass fed beef with a jar of RAO’s sensitive stomach marinara and topping with copious amount a of fresh shaved parmesan and fresh grated nutmeg!

The Sporty Layers

Snowy adventures call for all-day leggings, an updated fleece, and a cool parka.
