MONDAY

1 :: The Tudor’s Will Rein – The most exciting news this week is that BOTH my father and my brother will be coming to visit us here in Germany this summer!!!!!! I am so beyond excited!!!! It’s been so long since my baby brother and I had an adventure together I’m psyched at what awaits us! All of the forestry/nordic walking trails/food is going to blow my father’s mind! So lookout Deutschland, the Tudors will rein this summer!

2 :: Design News – I am happy to announce that Kirsten Ashley Photography will be become Kirsten Ashley Photography & Designs throughout the course of the next six months. It seems no matter what I do, design work {paper goods, hand lettering, and graphics} keep popping up in my job projects! I already have had the pleasure of creating a branding identity for several photographers in the Kaiserslautern Area, so it’s high time I moved forward with this side of my business. I will also be offering custom calligraphy, invitations, place cards, and menu’s just to name a few things! Get excited folks, because this means I get to do more to suit YOUR needs!

3 :: Love Me Some Neutrals – I have had some really awesome finds at DSW lately. Something about the neutral pallet is hugely inspiring to me this week. Beige shoes make way for bright colored frocks and bold tops. Not to mention they make me feel like spring is here!!!
