Today was the perfect day for some blueberry picking. I headed out west with Eric on my favorite back country road and we came across the Ven Roy Blueberries. It was such a cute little place for u-pick blueberries. I walked up to the stand and this adorable old man explained how you tied the bucket around your waist and sent us off into the fields. We were allowed to eat as many as we could while we were out there and bring as many as we wanted back. We ended up with two pounds of blueberries for only three dollars! Plus, it was perfect weather to enjoy being outside.
I received this amazing skirt from Corilynn. I initially thought I would style this skirt to our annual Coast Guard festival or a nautical event along Lake Michigan , but when I thought about going to pick blueberries... this skirt seemed perfect. Cori is an amazing designer who creates seriously adorable skirts with flawless construction. This skirt maintained its silhouette all the while I romped around the fields. Her chevron skirt is next on my list!
This arrow necklace is from Creature Comfort. Breyell, the girl behind Creature Comfort, is so sweet and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to style up one of her pieces. One of my favorite parts about blogging is the amazing people I get to work with and meet, even if it is just through the internet. I've made some seriously strong connections from people who have reached out over the past few years. It honestly blows me away every day.
If you're ever in the Coopersville area and want to pick your own blueberries, Ven Roy's is the place to come! It opened in 1936 and has been family-owned ever since. Story goes that the crops were struggling until a neighbor of theirs told them that blueberries thrived in the soil. So, they've been planting blueberries ever since and they are delicious. Supposedly Eric makes the best cheesecakes, so I'm expecting a blueberry one soon!

Aw, looks like y'all had a blast! I can't believe the berries were that cheap; the pick-your-own by my house is super expensive, which sucks.
I absolutely adore that skirt! I've been into longer lengths these days, and the stripes are just perfect.
this looks so fun - and now i'm craving blueberries! i also adore your outfit! these are some fantastic photos. :)
very cute berry picking outfit! if I wore a white skirt... it would have been tie dyed haha

i seriously NEED that skirt!! it's the perfect pattern and great length!
How fun! I love these photos! They are all so stunning and that skirt is adorable on you, too. I've seen lots of Corilynn around lately and you are one of the lucky ones to get a skirt from her. Adore!
I also have to say that I'm so inspired by your weight loss and am embarking on my own weight loss journey. I would love to hear any tips you have for staying motivated. Love your old posting on that, BTW. Thanks!
So cute! Love that necklace!
BTW There was a blueberry cheesecake recipe posted on Cupcakes & Cashmere today... maybe you should forward it to Eric ;)

Oh what a fantastic little adventure. And I always love how your outfits are sore feet for your activities.
Eeee, blueberry picking + you + these photos = all kinds of adorable!!! I love, love how you've styled your Corilynn skirt, and that necklace is such a pretty & modern piece. I love it on you!!
And what's that?! Blueberry cheesecake?? Sounds like heaven - you gotta love a boy that can bake!! And sorry to hear you've had a tough week (via twitter) Tieka, hope the weekend is a sweet one for you! Smooches! V
my next big purchase might have to be corilynn's yellow chevron skirt. i absolutely adore it. these photos are so pretty and dreamy and i love this entire outfit.
I love how perfectly nautical your striped skirt is! It's so super cute on you too. Looks like a really fun time picking blueberries too!

I love the u-pick berry places! I'm thinking my boyfriend and I will have to go find a few and pick some berries.
I love your outfit! You look beautiful. Those Corilynn skirts are so gorgeous. I've been wanting one for a while, but they're way out of my budget range, so I was really excited to find a skirt that reminded me of this one at the thrift store the other day.
All of your pictures are beautiful, as usual!
I love pick your own places. We have one a couple miles down the road from our place and it does the best strawberries and raspberries. Have a lovely week, Tieka!
I've never gone blueberry picking before. I don't think there is anywhere to do there here but it sounds like fun!! Also that skirt is definitely a blueberry pickin' skirt! :), looking adorable as always!

WE have our own little blueberry patch in our yard like 20 to 25 of them and they are absolutely delicious. Can't wait for the next year and hopefully they will produce more. The birds love to eat them so we have to kind of race to get it first before they do. hehehe.. :) You look lovely and that skirt I so love. :)
super cute!
