Ever since Brian and I went to Bali for our honeymoon a few Novembers ago, we made it a goal to travel somewhere warmer each year during the gloomiest months of the winter. With the non-stop Vancouver rain and both of us having some form of seasonal affective disorder, we thought it'd be a great annual excuse to get out of the city and get refreshed while spending quality time together. This past winter we spent five nights in LA, a city that's close enough to not have to take too much time …

It probably had a lot to do with my traveling companions, but this city quickly became a standout in my books: I have so many happy memories of wandering around and exploring, finding beautiful shops amidst historic buildings, eating copious …
How To Travel Stylishly & Comfortably
If you're anything like me, you'll know that looking stylish while on the road is often a challenge. Although I've done my fair share of traveling over the last few years, my trip to Montreal last month was really the first time I felt both true to my style and comfortable in what I was wearing. A part of this can certainly be attributed to my increasingly simplified personal style (hello, neutrals), but here are several more tips I've adopted which have helped me achieve this! 1. Versatility …
