Big Cedar Lodge


Finally getting around to sharing about my weekend with you guys! Here's an outfit conundrum for you. What if you had to go to work, be a witness at a courthouse wedding, then go to a lodge resort for dinner and you had zero time to change in between? I definitely had to look outside of my capsule for this special occasion. Luckily I can get away with just about anything at the office, so I decided to go with my faux leather skort and my foolproof over the knee boots.

Sunnies: Vince Camuto (option) | Coat: TahariNecklace: Stella and Dot (option) | Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim | Top: LOFT (option) | Wrap watch: La Mer (option) | Skort: Express (option, option) | Tights: TargetBoots: Vince Camuto (option)

The resort we ended up at is called Big Cedar Lodge. It's about 4 hours southwest of St. Louis, and is owned by the owner of Bass Pro, and knowing that should give you a feel for how intricately designed and themed this resort is.

We stayed in a 3-bedroom cabin that looked basically like this. (photo credit here)

View from our balcony

The guys made sure there were flowers, chocolates, and wine waiting for us when we arrived.

It was pretty breathtaking, and I had no idea the midwest could be that beautiful. The iPhone photos really don't do it justice. The smells were amazing as well - it smelled like fall the whole time with campfire scents, cinnamon, and crisp, fresh air.

Friday we had a nice dinner, then just kept it low key having cocktails in our cabin, snacking, and playing Cards Against Humanity. Saturday was spent… recovering. I definitely can't throw down like I used to in my younger years! We had a late lunch, a nap, early dinner, dessert cocktails, then listened to the country singer comedian, Clay Self. We divulged in the breakfast buffet before heading back home on Sunday. The perfect weekend getaway with great company!

  7. This outfit is so great. I love the wrap leather skirt with the tights and high boots. Just the perfect amount of leg (they're all covered, but still definitely THERE). Amazing necklace too. Sounds like you had an unreal weekend!
