July feels like the most care-free month, doesn’t it? It starts with a holiday, probably my favorite holiday! We always travel to Port Austin, a little tourist town on Lake Huron. My family has a house there, just a short walk from the lake. It’s a place that has so many core memories and nostalgia tied to it, but also a place that I can actually relax.

My boys walked me down the aisle carrying bouquet I clip from the side of the road. My husband and I shared heartfelt notes to each outer, over looking the sea, before heading down to Monterosso Al Mare for photos and dinner. The day was truly magical!

I am so excited to share the next evolution of my brand! It has been 7 years since Kristen Poissant created my lovely logo and branding package.
