Today, Brett and I took a scoot trip out to Eastmanville Farm. It has been a gorgeous day. Bright white clouds, blue skies, 80 degrees and super breezy. We love taking scoot trips out on this country road - it's also where I took my Shanty Creek post. Every time we drive back here, I get new inspiration for future outfits! We walked along the trail, checked out the barns and saw so many butterflies - like swarms of them! Lovely trip... "down on the farm"!
I received this dress through the Delightful Dozen! It's Maria from Lulu Letty's namesake ModCloth dress. It's so so lovely. As usual, I didn't want to style it up too much because it's such a great dress on it's own. Be sure to check the Delightful Dozen facebook page to see each way we have styled up the dress! I felt like this dress was a little bit "country" feeling to me, so I thought.. what better than a farm? Mixed with red accessories to match? Wa-la!

We were supposed to go camping up in Torch Lake this weekend, but our plans changed when major storms came to Michigan. We rerouted to Indiana and our campground ended up being.. well, not a campground but more of a trailer park and our campsite was basically in someone's back yard. So, we drove to Wisconsin, slept in a hotel, drove back to Illinois and ended up staying a night at the Key Lime Cove resort, which was a blast. So that's the extent of my weekend! Did everyone have a good one?!

Cute as always..! <3 I love the location, what a neat barn. You match it so nicely, haha. I love those pops of red, and that dress suits you very well. Modcloth just has the best dressies!
You look so lovely in red! Red/grey has been a combination I've been wanting to try, but I own virtually no red, something that must be fixed asap! You definitely pull it off well. Read all about your weekend on Twitter.. man, what a bummer but so glad it worked out in the end! Patrick & I had a TERRIBLE road trip two weekends ago, I forgot to blog about it but you'll have to ask about it sometime.. at least it makes for a good story!
Waaa, this is so adorable. I love Maria's namesake dress, & I love the way you've styled it here with the red, it makes the red really pop. You've got an addiction to blue sleeved dresses now for sure, Summer Finn!
I love your smile on these pictures.

LOVE the red accents with that dress! So perfect. Those red wedges look amazingly comfortable too. Great idea for pics on a farm, so creative and they're all lovely!

I am enchanted by this outfit is simple and yet very girlish. I like it!
Love those espadrilles (also love the word espadrille, but it doesn't sound like a shoe!).
You visit the most adorable barns. And that's such a cute outfit... especially on your scooters!
Pretty outfit! I love the red accent on it..

Did you go to the water park at Key Lime Cove? When I lived in Chicago I saw commercials for it all the time! Love the laid back county look :)
I love how you paired the chambray with the red belt and wedges. And the bracelet is lovely. :)
You look wonderful! I love how you keep everything simple, I really admire that about your summer style, it motivates me to be creative with my simple summer looks. I always feel like I should put more stuff on, then I remember how cute you look and it really helps!
It sounds like you had a pretty fun weekend! The barn pics are very cute, I wish I lived close to a barn! lol
I just love the style of your photos. It's like they have a vintage quality to them. So uniquely you!
beautifull, like usual :)
These are beautiful photos with amazing outfits! Love it! XOXOXO

I love how you've styled this with just the simple red accessories - and what a fantastic backdrop! I guess the country girl in me has a thing for lovely old fashioned barns.. this one is perfect!
Love this! So darn cute:)
Key Lime Cove! My honey proposed at an indoor waterpark in Wisconsin Dells... pretty funny!
By the way, I love Mod Cloth but I'm always a little apprehensive to purchase clothes when they aren't shown on an actual person in the photos.... so I always check out your blog to see what dresses you're wearing and how they look on you. ;)
Love you blog. xo
i love that second to last shot of your red wedges! precious!
