Travel Style :: The Greenbrier


Whenever I am planning a vacation I find it very hard to resist the urge to give away all my clothes and buy an entirely new wardrobe.  It is that much more challenging when the destination is somewhere as stylish as The Greenbrier {just look at the interiors!}  I pulled together two looks to wear in at the resort...one for a day of Mint Juleps, facials, shopping, and strolling through their immaculate gardens, and one for a night of dinner in the Main Dining Room and drinks at Twelve Oaks

Inspired by The Greenbrier's punchy colors, bold prints and southern hospitality, I focused on standout pieces that have a preppy twist.  I'll definitely be bringing my beloved Nikon D5200 Digital SLR to capture the memories, and will be wearing pieces from my favorite All-American brands such as Kate Spade, JCrew, and Tory Burch.  I love this retro-inspired swimsuit from ASOS and have been seriously lusting over Kate Spade's gorgeous lemon prints for the spring.  But, I need to make sure I don't break the bank...because I definitely need to save some money for the top-knotch shopping at The Greenbrier {think Tory Burch, Milly, DVF, etc.}  I can't wait!
