Damsel Digest: Aspen Winter

A little place called . . .

Aspen.

To ring in the winter season, a few blogger gals {Always Judging // Lust for Life // Late Afternoon // Trop Rouge } and I went to Aspen with UGG Australia. Since I travel to Aspen every holiday with my in-laws, I was put in charge of playing tour guide during the winter season. I thought I would share a few places we visited and my must see spots if you are ever in Aspen.

To Eat

White House // Website // This adorable restaurant is one of Aspen’s newest and cutest lunch spots. They do not take reservations so be ready for a wait. But order the Crispy Chicken Sandwich and you will thank me later.

Ajax Tavern // Website // My all time favorite aprés-ski spot. The truffle fries will literally leave you coming back for more.

Cloud Nine // Website // Call ahead. Make a reservation. Ski to the top of Highlands Mountain and enjoy one of the best lunches you will ever have. The view, the atmosphere and the food are top notch at this European-style cabin. Get ready to party during the later lunch hours as the music turns up and dance moves come out.

To Shop

Boogies // Website // You can’t make a trip to Aspen without a pit stop at Boogies. Offering premium brands from JBrand to Pendleton, it’s the perfect one stop shop for anything you forgot to pack or want to pick up during your Aspen stay. There’s also a cute diner in the top of the store to grab a bite after you shop ’till you drop.

Kemo Sabe // Website // By far the best hat store in Aspen {and potentially one of my favorites of all time}. Brand-new, broken in and customized just the way you want it. If you are looking for a one of a kind hat, this is your spot!

To Sleep

Hotel Jerome // Website // Not only is this hotel a top pick for a nice dinner or visit to their cozy bar, but it is by far my favorite hotel in Aspen. It was recently renovated and perfectly suits the chic crowds that stroll the streets of Aspen.
