Glam Shopping Beat for the week of 1/22/07 - by Lesley Scott:

These days, the boys no longer have all the fun. Today's "it" girls actually know how to snowboard, ski, and sail down even the most diamond'ed trails without a second thought (or nary a wipeout). However, it's still nice to know there's a hot chica lurking under the layers of goggles, puffy ensembles and clunky moonboots.  Why not splurge on a splashy designer take on sporting gear? You'll look sleek, coordinated, and there's no other time in life when you'll have this much leeway to wear an entire designer from head-to-toe without look like a fashion victim.

Fashion fit for hitting the slopes:

For full-on fabulousness, you just can't beat Chanel...down to the quilted leather skis. So over-the-top, it's completely irresistable. Available in its glorious entirety from Chanel.com.

Apres ski means one thing - a license to get casually glam:

After a hard day, treat yourself to a long, relaxing soak, and then throw on some comfortable, yet still chic, separates. Keeping everything in the gray & black family makes it easy to pack, and touches of fur (real or faux) keep it glamourous. During the day, it's all about your chic shades, so why not splash out on a designer version? You'll look - and feel - like a million.
