Majestic Mary Janes

My new favorite shoes are a spin on an old favorite…

Mary Janes from Madewell / tights from LOFT / faux fur coat by Cupcakes & Cashmere

I feel like I’ve been wearing Mary Janes off and on forever. They are so classic and perfect with just about any outfit. Dress them up or dress them down…they are always a winner in my book!

What I love most about these are the double strap. Adds a little something unique to the traditional look.

Here are some links to some of my favorite Mary Janes out there:

Trench Coat For Springtime

I recently got this trench coat and I’m obsessed with it! It’s the perfect weight for spring and a great length. Dressy enough to wear to work and yet casual enough to wear on the weekend with jeans. Looking to get a lot of wear out of this coat this spring and fall.

I want to know, what are your go to jackets for the spring? Do you love a trench coat…are denim jackets more your speed…or are you all about an edgy leather jacket? Please tell me your picks in the comment section below.

If you look NOW the trench coat I’m wearing here is already marked 40% off and you will get another 20% off at checkout.

A Little Leopard Makes Everything Better

To me there is something about a leopard coat that just makes any outfit look complete.

coat- Cupcakes & Cashmere, turtleneck- H&M, skirt- LOFT, tights- LOFT, shoes- Sam Edelman

No matter if I’m going to work, have a date night out with my husband, or am just running around the neighborhood in jeans…this faux fur leopard coat makes everything look chic.

Not to be overshadowed by my coat, these Sam Edelman Lug Sole Loafers are one of my favorite pairs of shoes that I own. Super comfortable and now wayyyyy on sale they are definitely worth the purchase! I feel like they go with just about everything. Also, they remind me of the shoes Elaine used to wear on Seinfeld which just makes me so happy.

I want to know what are your favorite go to items in your wardrobe???

French Toast & Gingham

My favorite brunch buddy, Nicole, joined me for some out of this world French toast this morning. So happy to have stopped by La Petite Joie in Williamsburg to finally check it out. If you are in the area you gotta check out this place. I’ll definitely be going back soon!

The décor of this little restaurant was so adorable. Beautiful flower displays inside and out. Such a great backdrop for a little impromptu photoshoot.

Spending my extra long weekend (I’m off work until Wednesday, yay!) by enjoying my neighborhood on the second last weekend of the summer. Hitting up some new restaurants, doing a little shopping, spending quality time with my husband and pup, and hanging out with some friends. Doesn’t get much better than that, am I right?

What are your weekend plans???
