Where there are mountains, we will find magic. Tucked away upon one of Vermont’s highest peaks, lives a spot worthy of gnomes and unicorns. It is deliriously beautiful and ever-changing. Since our last visit, a mighty tree has collapsed into the mile-high pond. Flat sided stones interrupt its stillness as they’re gathered for skipping across the water. With every toss, a wish is made, requesting more magic from our perch in the sky. Ensconced in the scene playing out before me, I need not make a wish. Instead, I sit, enchanted by these forest fairies, as they float with effervescence in luxurious creations from Charlotte sy Dimby. A long-admired brand reigning from France with roots in Madagascar, the marriage of our worlds creates a landscape of beauty high in the mountains.

In the course of an afternoon, we’ve rediscovered a world of enchantment, cloaked in hand-smoked pretties from our favourite French dressmaker. Each piece carries with it a story that is waiting to be written. The girls play tribute to their fantasies, making for a magical afternoon in the mountains.
