The Perfect Getaway

As usual I have left my Christmas vacation planning until the very last minute! I have been so busy with studying for school that I almost forgot to save some time to book my perfect little getaway! This year I'm thinking of taking two vacations to two very different locations to make up for having stayed put last year instead of venturing off somewhere exotic.

A few girlfriends and I are thinking of going to Banff, Alberta right before Christmas to enjoy the magic of a winter vacation in the mountains. I can just picture it now... the crisp air, endless piles of white snow, big snowflakes, deer roaming around nearby, the hot chocolates and homemade fudge in every flavor imaginable! We'd be staying at the Fairmont Hotel, which looks absolutely beautiful, I couldn't think of a better place to be during christmas other than this hotel which is nothing short of a castle. The location just calls for that perfect fair isle sweater paired with leggings and knee-high boots. Can't wait!

The other vacation I'm in the midst of planning is to somewhere hot! Maybe Dominican Republic or Cuba? What better way is there to starting a brand new year than by celebrating New Year's Eve on a sandy beach somewhere enjoying some fun in the sun and attending all the local festivities? Sipping on a Cosmopolitan in my bikini on some tropical beach with my best girlfriend to salute 2010 is my idea of the perfect start to a brand new year!


Hot or cold? What's you're perfect winter getaway?

Introducing Champagne & Chanel


Bonjour!

I'd like to make a toast...

Champagne & Chanel is a blog with a passion. Originating from my love of both the bubbly and the designer label I have put "Champagne & Chanel" together as a representation of who I am and what this blog will consist of.

In here you will find posts on fashion and decor, food and cooking, art and photography and above all anything else as worthy and delectable as the title.

Seeing as December is my favorite time of the year (though I say that about every holiday and season!) I thought that it would be the perfect time to begin my blog. With all the inspiration surrounding me everywhere... the white snow outside, the perfectly brewed cups of coffee, cozy oversized knits, nutmeg and gingerbread and not to mention Christmas day coming up I can hardly wait to indulge in all the blogging!

So heres to the beginning of Champagne & Chanel, cheers!
