Birthday at the beach

For my birthday (a couple weeks ago now), Kenn and I decided to take a little drive to Cannon Beach.

Being from southern California, the beach here is nothing like the beaches of my childhood, which were featureless but warm. Here in Oregon, the beaches are beautiful but freezing cold.

Kenn wore the shirt I sewed for his birthday. I made it in this fantastic Liberty print. The pattern is my own Negroni, of course.

Thanks guys! The dress is vintage, and it’s so pretty in person! It has really cute straps with matching small bows at the back. I bought it at Xtabay here in Portland. And the cardigan is from the J.Crew sale rack. :)

I just stumbled upon your site… I think originally from Pinterest, and I have fallen in love! I too am from southern California and lived in Portland, Oregon for awhile. Reading your posts about Oregon make me nostalgic for the Portland scene and the beauty that is western Oregon. My husband and I moved down to the central coast of California last year, and I’ve been missing it ever since. Looking forward to catching up on your blog and being a more consistent reader!

You look beautiful when you smile, which should be often. I love the dress, and your hair looks great both before and after.
