Style // Chambray & Tulips

This chambray shirt has always been one of my favorites. I like that it buttons all the way up the front and that the sleeves have some fun structure to them. It also goes with almost anything since it's fairly neutral.

The capris are from Gap, but I actually thrifted them from a store in Portland. Such a good find! I stole the fedora from Tim... it's one of his favorites and just happened to go perfectly with my outfit ;)

My shoes are Toms lace-ups with a floral print. I got them when my friend Rachel and I went to the Toms Warehouse Sale together in Corona a couple of years ago. The wait was insanely long, but once you got in, it was awesome! There were such unique styles and everything was marked down to an incredible price! It was such a fun day spent with a wonderful friend.

I'm not going to lie, even though the tulips make these photos look bright and cheery, it was pretty cold outside! I had to throw on my sweater from Cotton On for the rest of the photos out in this beautiful, expansive field across from the tulip farm.

I'll be the first to admit I have a love affair with Dooney & Bourke. This bag goes with every outfit and is the perfect size to carry around the essentials plus my camera or a good book. When I was younger, my best friend's mom bought their bags and I think I subconsciously fell in love with the brand when I was 7. ;) I'm currently obsessing over one of their totes that would be perfect for work!

Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival

In the three years we've lived here, we hadn't made it out to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival. To be honest, I didn't even hear about it until this year! (Or if I did, I completely forgot when the festival came around each year). So when an email came across my inbox with an article about the festival, I forwarded it to Tim and said we had to go. And boy was it worth it! The beauty was beyond words.

The day was such a blast... from walking the 40 acres of beautiful tulip fields to wine tasting (yes, really!) to wooden shoe train rides and a classic Dutch-style windmill, it was so much fun spending quality time with the hubby out in good ol' Woodburn, OR.

The festival offered tons of entertainment for children, from bounce houses to mini carnival rides. There was even pony rides (the line was insane)! They also hosted various local vendors and, me being the natural candle-loving person I am, we definitely supported one of them ;) And let's not forget about the delicious kettle corn we consumed... definitely worth the $5!

It was such a beautiful way to spend our Sunday!
