“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson) My first month as a solopreneur has been a whirlwind. I hoped to have more time for this blog, but we all know what they say about life and plans….

Beyond the Comfort Zone
“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” (Anaïs Nin) Oh my blog. What to do with you? I took these photos months ago, but felt so jaded that I couldn’t muster the energy or motivation to…

Winter Capsule Wardrobe 2017
Last year, I planned my very first Capsule Wardrobe. It was an incredibly freeing experience, and I’ve sought to apply the minimalist principles in other aspects of my life. I ended up creating another capsule wardrobe for the following season… unintentionally. After living out of two suitcases for over a month because…
Make a Statement: Devon Leigh Jewelry
I received jewelry c/o Devon Leigh for this post. All opinions are my own.
Hello blog, my old friend. It’s been nearly two weeks since my last post (and now I feel like this is the beginning of a confession). Please excuse my unexplained absence.

Nordstrom Sale: Classic Picks + $1,000 Giveaway
This kate spade watch was gifted. All opinions and other purchases are my own.
With any great sale, like the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, it’s very easy to get carried away by the deals and let logic fly out the window. Speaking from experience– I’ve already made a trip to Nordstrom to return items I ordered impulsively at 2am Thursday morning. Now that the dust of Early…

Door County Travel Guide: Cana Island Lighthouse
“One moment I gaz’d from the hill’s gentle slope, All hush’d was the billows’ commotion, And tho’t that the Light-house look’d lovely as Hope, That star of life’s tremulous ocean.” (Thomas Moore, The Light House) Visiting Cana Island is a magical experience akin to wandering through the forest and inadvertently stumbling into…
Fourth of July in Door County
I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July holiday! I’ve been enjoying time with my family in Door County, Wisconsin. These festive outfit photos were actually taken yesterday. We enjoyed a boat ride through Green Bay, where we watched Egg Harbor’s fireworks display last night. I picked up this striped boatneck…
Sunset at Sister Bay
For our trip to Door County, I decided to break out of my photography comfort zone and leave the Canon 6D and 50L at home. Accompanying me on this vacation is my Fuji XT1 body along with the 16mm 1.4 and 35mm 1.4 lenses. The mirrorless kit served me well in Chicago,…
