For our final day in Austria, Tor and I decided to wake early and stroll through Salzburg before brunch. It was a Saturday morning, but it felt like a Sunday. It was calm yet there was still a buzzing holiday spirit throughout the city. I donned a pink coat and hat, and we took to the streets to admire Salzburg for a few more hours before we headed to Germany.

I love Christmas in Europe. It was always a goal of mine to celebrate the holiday season there, and I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have begun the holiday season in Europe with my husband. Everywhere you turn, there is decor and there are lights everywhere. Even back in our town in Spain, every street had holiday lights strung up and a giant Christmas tree in the plaza. They certainly take Christmas very seriously over there, and I have tried to make my home back in Los Angeles as festive as what we saw in Austria, Germany, and Spain. I cannot help but feel extremely grateful this holiday season. This past year has certainly been one of the best, and I do not take it for granted. I find myself thanking my husband every day for such a wonderful life together all the adventures we have gone on already in our first year of marriage and for all the adventures we have yet to go on in the future. I am also incredibly thankful for a job I am passionate about (I couldn't imagine doing anything else that makes me happier than my blog), two wonderful cats I get to take care of, a roof over my head, and a healthy body (despite a few setbacks this year). For our morning stroll, I donned another plaid coat that is perfect for the holiday season. This pink, lavender, and navy coat from Rebecca Minkoff was featured on the runway at New York Fashion Week. For me, it's wonderfully bright and feminine. Pink will be a main color for my new site (which relaunches January 6!) so I felt like I was channeling the next chapter of The A List in this fabulous coat. I also wanted to thank you all for your votes for the ShopStyle Rising Star Award. I may not have taken home the award, but all my readers make me feel like a star already and that's what really matters most to me! Photos by Torrance Coombs.
