name change.

as much as i loved "la vita bella" because it translates to "the beautiful life," and that's what i try to portray on this blog, i needed a change. this change is probably temporary, but it was inspired by my best friend's first tattoo shown above.

my last blog design had too many colors and it was distracting for the content i post, so i was aiming for a more simplistic design that was both aesthetically pleasing and not too distracting.

here's to molly's tattoo for inspiring me to make a change!

also, i will have an update post coming later today or tomorrow.

love and light, xo

ashland.

this past weekend, my brother graduated from the smallest college known to man. woo hoo.

but seriously, the entire school only has 700 students.

northland college. ashland wisconsin.

it's a very pretty little town. i got to enjoy it with my family & my best friend molly!

8 hours both ways. it was not fun.

during our time there we visited a place where public enemies was filmed (that means johnny depp was right where i was!!!), went out to a brewery where molly and i ordered beer because it was legal (thank you wisconsin-law-making-people), went shopping in small vintage shops where i bought an embroidered pillow and molly bought a "keep calm and carry on" sign (for a whopping $30), attended drew's graduation in which he received his bachelor's in natural resources and wildlife management, fine-dined on mexican and margaritas, took a ferry to madeline island, went through more small shops, went moped-ing around the island (!!!!!!) where we froze to death, and went home memorial day morning where i took a mini photo shoot of molly reading. couldn't help it. the sun was hitting her hair just right.

love and light, xo
