We are going hiking!
On Saturday morning Adam has organized a hike up the Equinox Mountain. The hike will depart from the Equinox Spa at 9:30 AM. Please pack sneakers if you are interested on going on the hike. It will be approximately 3-4 miles and will take roughly 2 hours. The hike will take you on the Deer Knoll trail; we have heard that it is gorgeous. I cant think of a better way to start your morning! Happy hiking.

Semi Formal, What does it mean?
This is a post that I thought would come in handy.
Abbreviated Definition:
Semi-Formal or After Five means that tuxes are not required, nor are long dresses. An evening wedding (after 6 PM) would still dictate dark suits for him, and a cocktail dress for her.
Detailed Definition:
For women, semi-formal attire is somewhat flexible. Women can wear a dress, pant suit or dress suit. Preferred fabrics for semi-formal attire for women include silk, velvet, rayon, cashmere, high quality polyester brocades, or velour. Usually, anything silky goes. Except for cashmere, a wool business suit is not considered semi-formal attire since it is not dressy enough.
Hem lengths in semi-formal attire dresses vary. Dresses can be cocktail dresses, no more than an inch above the knee, or they can extend to the ankle. Dress suits, for example, a silk suit, usually has a hem length slightly above, at or below the knee. Pants suits, again in silk, polyester, or cashmere, tend to be worn at the ankle. One can also wear dressy tops and tuxedo pants made out of appropriate fabrics and still fit into the semi-formal attire group.
Generally semi-formal attire also means dress heels for women, usually in colors coordinating with one’s outfit. However, a dressy flat or strappy sandal with the appropriate outfit is also considered semi-formal attire. Low, comfy flipflops are not dressy enough to be called semi-formal attire.
For men, semi-formal attire means wearing a full suit, with vest optional. A tie, either bow or straight, should be worn, and the shirt should be a simple button down. Suit fabric choices are primarily wool gabardine or cashmere. However, a wool blend will do. Linen or seersucker suits are not formal enough for semi-formal attire. Dress shoes like oxfords are worn. It is not necessary to wear a tuxedo, and one might be considered a bit overdressed for a semi-formal event showing up in a tux.

Hair, Make Up, Manicure, and Pedicure Recommendations
Interested in getting a manicure and pedicure while in Vermont? Would like to have a blow out, or make up done?
I am using a stylist from Salon and Boutique located in Manchester Village for my hair and makeup. The Equinox offers manicures and pedicures but they do not do hair or makeup application. They do have a wonderful spa, pool, and great classes (yoga, pilates).
The Salon and Boutique is down the street from the Equinox - about a 3 minute drive. I would not recommend walking. Its over a mile down the street. Its in an ideal location for outlet shopping prior to your appointment. To make an appointment call (802) 362-1990 or visit their website: http://www.thesalonandboutique.com/
You can also look into the Green Door Day Spa which is down the street from the Equinox as well, however I am not familiar with the salon. http://http://www.greendoordayspa.com
Hope this is helpful.
