Summer Adventure Essentials from Backcountry

Since stocking up on some summer activewear styles from Backcountry, I’ve discovered even more adventure apparel and gear on their website! It was perfect timing to stock up on some hiking gear and outdoor essentials as I took my first trip up to Banff National Park in Canada.

Backcountry has all the activewear, accessories and gear you might need for ANY size adventure this summer—from camping under the stars, to hiking, or just some morning yoga, they carry the top adventure and apparel brands.

Whether you’re planning your first outdoor adventure, or just upgrading your current gear, Backcountry is a one-stop resource!

Light Jackets

Activewear Layers

Hiking Boots

Accessories

Links to My Outfit: Patagonia Jacket (in Pesto) // Hat // Daypack // Blanket // Boots

Another thing I love about Backcountry is that they have a dedicated customer service team of “Gearheads”. They have extensive experience in the outdoors, and are not intimidating about it, so whether you are a backpacking expert or buying your first pair of hiking boots or yoga pants, they can help you with any questions you may have!

Check out more activewear styles on Backcountry.com!

Banff looking as beautiful as ever too!

Hi ,

Love the clothes and all the accessories specially the blanket. I am trying to access the links to purchase but they seem to be broken. Can you please let me know where you got the picnic blanket from. I love it! And also the jacket please.

Thanks in advance,
Kshama

Hi Kshama! My apologies, this post is a couple of years old so most of the items are unavailable — though you can find similar items! The blanket is by Nipomo — you can find a similar one here: https://rstyle.me/+JuFJXvvTqFS-O-ujLKF9pQ 🙂 And the jacket is by Patagonia, similar here: https://rstyle.me/+YaQqKRrJln9LGPnkpKCTdg

Pinching myself ❄️

Did anyone else catch the dusting of snow in the Cotswolds?! I couldn’t believe my eyes!

We had a week of perfect sunny weather with only one afternoon of rain (also so unexpected for November!) and, on my last morning in Bibury, I woke up to this incredible scene!

🎶 The hills are alive with the sound of music 🎶
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Love the Sound of Music? What if I told you that you can visit the real Von Trapp family’s lodge from the famed musical starring Julie Andrews in the quiet town of Stowe, Vermont?

Day 7 of my Autumn New England Road Trip (with a toddler) started the day by driving through Smuggler’s Notch—it’s a short and super windy drive through a mountain pass that’s seriously beautiful.

Helpful Tip: Get started on the drive as easy as possible. Traffic is notorious during foliage season so we hit the road at 7am and had it to ourselves!

We then spent the entire day exploring nature trails and hanging with animals at @trappfamilylodge, an Austrian-inspired mountain lodge with 300 acres of farmland in the middle of Stowe.

The Von Trapps, made famous from the movie The Sound of Music, fled Austria during WWII and ultimately landed in Stowe, VT where their hospitality lives on today. Did you know the Sound of Music is one of the top 10 highest-grossing films of all time??

Had we had a little more time, we also would have added:

🥾 Moss Glen Falls
⛪️ Stowe Community Church
🍻 @alch3mistb33r
☕️ @blackcapvermont
🥞 @butlers_pantry_stowe

We did manage to catch a glimpse of the famed Stowe Community Church from afar, but any closer meant fighting traffic and huge crowds.

Come back for day 8 and the final video of the series as we explore the beautiful and family-friendly parts of Boston!

Arguably the MOST “autumnal” day of the trip: 🍎 🍂 🍩
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Welcome back to my Autumn New England Road Trip (with a toddler) series! We’re over halfway through our road trip on Day 6 and this was the perfect day of all things autumn.

After a slow morning leaving @woodstock.inn, we were on our way to the famous town of Stowe, Vermont!

I had originally created a jam-packed itinerary, but traveling with a toddler can definitely call for some readjusting and going with the flow. We made 2 of the stops I had planned:

🍎🌳 Hunger Mountain Orchard
🍎🍩 @coldhollowcidermillvt

If we had a little more time, a lot of people add the 🍦 @benandjerrys factory tour on this day.

We ended our day by checking into the @trappfamilylodge —owned by the real family from the Sound of Music where we enjoyed the lodge and property before dinner and bedtime.

Be sure to come back for Day 7 with more on this amazing property and all the furry friends that live here!

Fall fashion is my favorite! What about you? 🍁
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
My recent trip to New England was the perfect opportunity to pack my @meet.nex bags with some cute new styles perfect for any trip!

Nex luggage is super high-quality and will hold up on any adventure. Their Million Mile Care program is also one-of-a-kind. You can trade in your used luggage towards credit for new luggage!

I get so much use out of the Nex crossbody and backpack in Lanikai Amber—they’re my go-to for camera gear and toddler essentials. And you can style them with just about every outfit!
