Perennial Travels: Klosters, Switzerland

Perennial Travels: Klosters, Switzerland

 

blair blanket

I just got back from the most incredible trip to Klosters, Switzerland to celebrate my one year wedding anniversary with my husband. It’s a very cozy, friendly, and quaint town just a two hour train ride from Zurich. I was so excitied to see the town where my husband has made so many memories, plus it’s where Kate Middleton and Prince William went on their first vacation!

We were able to fly into the Zurich airport and easily train to the town where we walked a block to our hotel. I’m not sure about you, but I love a trip where there is no driving involved and we could walk everywhere!

We stayed at the Chesa Grischuna, which is a very old family-owned boutique hotel. My husband’s family has been staying there for over 50 years, and the service is nothing short of fantastic! They also have a wonderful bar and restaurant, so after a long day of skiing you can definitely relax at the hotel. There were several boutiques so I was able to pick up anything I had forgotten to pack, plus it was fun to learn new Swiss brands.

We were very fortunate that we had wonderful sunny skies for our skiing! The one thing I had to get used to was that the color system is blue (beginner), red (intermediate), black (advanced) which was very different for someone used to skiing in the states and Canada.

By our last day, we decided to take a train ride to St. Mortiz! We fell in love with St. Moritz, and I think everyone should experience it at some point. It has all the major shopping like ChanelMonclerBrioni (for the hubs), Loro PianaLouis Vuitton, etc. We had a coffee or lunch at the Carlton Badrutt’s Palace , and Hotel Kulm and decided the Carlton is by far our favorite! It’s definitely a ski town for the rich and famous! Time for me to get a fur hat, fur coat, and fur boots!

It was the best anniversary I could have ever asked for, and I’m so happy to share our great memories.

Happy Anniversary To The Butlers: Blair & Peter’s Seaside Wedding

Happy Anniversary To The Butlers: Blair & Peter’s Seaside Wedding

30A Wedding

In celebration of Blair and Peter’s one year anniversary, we wanted to spotlight their beautiful wedding in Seaside, FL last year. The couple was introduced by mutual friends in boarding school before attending SMU, so the perfect wedding was definitely a must for these two after all the years.

Since Peter proposed to Blair in Roaring Gap, NC, they decided a charming beach town near our home in Destin would be the perfect location for the wedding. With the help of their amazing wedding planner, Heather, the weekend was more than a success for everyone.

We hope these two are having a wonderful anniversary trip in Klosters, Switzerland right now! Take a peek at some of the beautiful pictures from the weekend below:

Happy 1 Year!

Happy 1st birthday to The Perennial Style! I cannot believe it has already been one full year since we started this fashion blogging journey. Thanks to all of our followers and supporters throughout this past year. It has been such a blast! When it comes to birthdays, what better way to celebrate than by donning a wardrobe of sparkles and shine! I plan on rocking these fabulous (and affordable) earrings from Bauble Bar, cheersing with these contemporary glasses from Z Gallerie, lusting over this Philip Armstrong skater dress, and topping it off with some neon pink lipstick – my weakness, of course.  With that being said, cheers to one year and many more to come! xoxo

happy 1 year
