Autumn is HERE, guys. 🍂 Trying to at least hit my usual haunts this year again… which include a few trips out to Big Bay, which is just… a town I have such a special place in my heart for. I spent a long time reading outside drinking a chaider (chai/cider!), before making the drive out there, grabbing a bite at Thunder Bay Inn, and heading down to the beach to take a quick peek, and ended up just staying there for golden hour, because it was legit so beautiful, warm, breezy, and just… magical.
Read MoreWe’re kicking off the autumn posts a little bit early this year… but our fall color in the Upper Peninsula is already poppin’ off! I feel like… I wasn’t fully prepared! I haven’t even switched my wardrobe over from summer to autumn! But Harlow Lake is always my first spot for that early fall color… so I headed out there last week, and it was beautiful! I was excited to put together this monochromatic outfit… and am trying to utilize more of my wardrobe and get a little more creative this fall! I mean, it’s the best season for personal style, in my opinion! 🍂
Read MoreHow in the helly do I not already have a blog post titled McCarty’s Cove? The cove that… I’ve spent the last five years crying and healing at, lol. This was the first stop I made after settling into my Airbnb the first night of moving to Marquette. Speaking of which, my five-year Yoopiversary is coming up… and I’m already sentimental over it. I’m already sentimental anyway, let alone adding on an anniversary of something that’s been one of the most life-changing moves I could have made. I found home. That’s for sure.

They only last a few weeks… so it’s similar to tulip season, lilacs in bloom or fall colors popping off, when you hear they’ve hit peak, you run! An easy road-trip, only about an hour from Marquette, it’s well worth the trip.
Read MoreThe east facing cliffs of Presque Isle. You can access this spot via car when the drive is open, and if you park along the side just beyond where the lookout/boardwalk view is, you’ll find a tiny path, that’ll take you right to this spot. Stunning. Vast views of Lake Superior, the Presque Isle Breakwater Lighthouse, cliffs, and if you head there early enough, a sunrise view.
Read MoreI headed over to the east side of the Upper Peninsula to capture some content for a video I’m working on, and it was a lovely excuse to spend an evening in Paradise and make my way up to Whitefish Point. I stayed at the Paradise Lakefront Lodge, walked over to dinner at The Inn, drank blackberry wine and ate wings, got their famous carrot cake to-go. Relaxed on the balcony with a view of Lake Superior, took a drive up to Whitefish Point to snap photos, windows down and music up on the way home, some of my favorite kind of moments.
