Our last day in Vail was much like the other two; we woke early in the morning, donned our snowboarding gear, and headed to the mountain to get our ride time in. It was an excellent day of boarding; I had a milestone accomplishment and hit my first obstacle in a terrain park (3 times!), and we saw a celebrity!
Around lunch time we stopped at one of the lodges on the top of the mountain to eat. We went into the bathroom and when I came out, Blake was sitting on a bench and looking intently at me and then somewhere over my shoulder. I walked over and he whispered “look who it is!” and turned around and saw Kyle Richards from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills! She was getting her daughter Portia zipped up and I realized I’d heard her talking and saying the name Portia in the bathroom but had never looked over to realize it was her! I sat down next to Blake to get my own jacket zipped and tried not to make it obvious I was staring **major side eyes**. I’ll admit that I briefly considered asking for a picture before deciding I didn’t want to be ‘that person’…plus the lighting was too dark and wouldn’t have been a good enough quality for even posting ;)
We finished the day on the mountain and then once again changed clothes in the lodge to walk around before dinner. Although it had snowed earlier that day, the weather had cleared and the sidewalks and pavement were dry (thanks to being heated like I mentioned here) so I brought out my blue suede pumps to dress up a blush pink Forever 21 sweater, white skinny jeans, and my MK puffer coat which is my favorite winter coat in my closet (worn here and here) — it’s super warm and the cut is flattering and doesn’t make you look like a michelin man! I knew I had made the right decision with my shoes when we walked past another couple and the woman loudly whispered “is she serious?!” while clearly looking down at my feet; I had to chuckle at it while wondering what she thought was so impractical with wearing stilettos on clean dry pavement…and smiled at her while walking with decidedly more confidence in my non-frumpy outfit ;)

Lynda Gergen says
There’s nothing “frumpy” about this outfit and those gorgeous blue suede shoes, and you definitely do not look like the Michelin man.
Tristan says
Haha right?! Puffer coats can really go bad if not done right lol.

Thank you Dominique! (p.s. this is totally un-related but my sister’s name is Dominique–such a unique name and kind of weird to be typing it and not be talking to her lol).
Cara says
Oooh my coat is just like this one!! Except it’s a million sizes too big (to accommodate for my million more layers underneath). I wish I had been there to see that woman whisperer giving you the side eye hahaha. Love your shoes and coat!
Tristan says
Thank you Cara! And lol to the side-eye woman…she was definitely giving some (judgemental) looks! I hope you have a lovely weekend!

What a great outfit and how fun snowboading with a celeb sighting. We used to go boarding all the time, but I’ve not been in a few years. Love the puffer coat, I’m not usually into them, but it looks stylish here! <3 /Madison
