Tripping: Shannon Davenport and Julia Wilson of Fortune Favors the Brave Take On Yosemite

Since summer’s first loooong weekend is in view, we decided to celebrate by asking some of our well-traveled designers where they wish they were right now (and where they think you should head if you have some vacation days that need dealing with). First up: The former Cali girls of Fortune Favors the Brave, who have already earned major globe-trotting cred here. 

Yah, these Ahwahnee Hotel pics probably deserve a place on your vacation Pinterest.

“Sadly it’s too far to visit this Memorial Day, but we LOVE going to Yosemite National Park in California. We both grew up going there with our families since its only about a three hour drive from the San Francisco Bay Area. We usually camp, but it’s fun while you’re there to put on some non-outdoor gear and have dinner at the Ahwahnee Hotel, which is absolutely beautiful. Funny enough we spent a lot of time watching Ken Burns’s The National Parks while we were designing our latest collection, so it all comes full circle!” —shannon
