what's in a name?

Lately a lot of folks have asked me, "What does Little Red's Well mean?"

So I thought I'd lay it all out for you to share, and then once the new website (so so soon!) is up and running, I'll include this in the about page!

If you remember correctly, my good friend Courtney pushed me to start a blog when I told her how much I wanted to do it (but didn't know how and was terrified, etc). We decided to do it together, and a conversation about what to call the blog was had. By the way...if you need to feel motivated about your own creative path in some way, please hire Courtney to help you. I always say to people that if you give her 5 minutes she'll convince you to start a business. She's great at what she does. Anyway, the name. We decided to make this blog a lifestyle blog, and Courtney brought up a beautiful metaphor; that each of us has a well of inspiration that needs to be filled up, in order for us to be fulfilled. We were hoping that the blog we created would be a place where people could fill up their well of inspiration, every day. Once she mentioned that metaphor, I had a clear image of a woman in a beautiful red cape in the middle of the woods, peering into this moss-covered stone well. Little Red's Well! There you have it.

Is it because of my red hair? Sure! I mean, I dye it but I do like to consider myself an honorary redhead.

Am I Little Red? I don't know! I don't think so? I'm Allie, and I'm a stylist, and I write this blog that I love. So the blog is little red...or maybe you all are little red! I think the point is...it's up for interpretation. :)

Either way, I hope you all enjoy the content here, in my little corner of the internet, because I sure love writing it!

xoxo
