Christmas in the bedroom started last year for 2 reasons: 1) I cannot contain my excitement for the holidays and Christmas decorations just to the living room and 2) I must have a real tree and putting a mini one here on the dresser works out so perfectly that there is no choice but to make it a yearly tradition. This year I added more greens to the room, which because I didn’t do much of anything to them it all still feels simple, all while making our bedroom smell amazing. If nothing else, I want to bask in the scent of pine for the rest of the year! Read More

In partnership with Four Blocks South, a modern home goods store that provided all the gorgeous items for this table, here are a few simple tips to make your holiday entertaining easier and still awesome.

I’ve never seriously considered traveling by train. Life in LA has practically made good public transit a foreign concept to me and the thought of using it gives me anxiety simply because I don’t know much about it. I have however, heard from friends singing praises about taking the train to visit multiple cities in Europe, to make the most of those plane tickets and cross off several bucket list destinations in one airfare. Sounds very enticing, but I’d stop there thinking that taking the train is probably confusing and not worth the hassle.
Had it not been for Eurail partnering with me to explore Europe by train, I wouldn’t have found that it’s not only simple and convenient, but very beautiful to take in the scenery along the way and I’m convinced it’s the best way to discover Europe and cover the most ground while you’re there. Here’s how I used the Eurail Pass to visit Rome, Milan, Bern, and Paris, plus the itinerary I followed to inspire your own European travels. Read More
