It's Thanksgiving next week. 

CRAZY, RIGHT???

So I was browsing around for some table ideas...have you started planning yours, or are you blowing it off altogether???

Alpine Cowboy

I had no idea that there was a style called "Alpine Cowboy".

But now thanks to Le Lodge Park Hotel, not only do I know it exists, but I'm pretty sure that I'm twitterpated (c:

So this fabulous hotel is also located in the French Alps. Another big plus for me. 

Listen to their description of this hotel and see if you can resist it's rugged charm:

"If Heidi came into money, moved to Megève, and bought a chalet hotel, it might resemble Le Lodge Park: a fur- and leather-lavished snow queen with antler chandeliers, a feather-fringed gourmet restaurant and a spa specializing in mountain-plucked unguents."

 

Um, you had me at feather-fringed, my friends.

Pretty fabulous, no? I just want to snuggle into that fur covered bed and drink hot chocolate on that balcony...and then I saw the restaurant and decided that nevermind, I would like to spend *ALL* my time there:

Would you like a leather tufted settee, some feather fringed curtains, and some lavish fur pillows???

Um no thanks, I'm on a diet that is cutting down on my fabulousness.

No. No one says that. Everyone says:

Yes FRICKIN' PLEASE!!!!

 

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear what you were saying over all the insane shouting I was doing.

You want to go there, too?

I'm down. (c:

Happy feather-fringed, fur-lined weekend, peeps!
