Perennial Travels: Klosters, Switzerland

Perennial Travels: Klosters, Switzerland

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.

It’s a boy! The Prince and the Duchess have officially given birth to the future king.  With all the media attention on the British Royalty, I thought a post inspired by the Royal family was imperative. I think Kate and Pippa Middleton have incredible style, so I wanted to highlight a couple of Kate’s favorite British designers, as well as a few of my own. Take a peek:
