A Few of My Favorite Things

Some mornings are best spent getting dressed in a few of my favorite pieces, grabbing a cup of Blue Bottle coffee, and strolling in (a little late) to work.

You know I’m about to start my work day when I’m toting my big blue bag around town! When I got this job, I treated myself with a new, adorable, “grown up” laptop bag from ASOS. Still in love even though it’s becoming a little rough around the edges.

Remember me Instagraming when I first got these Swedish Hasbeen beauties for my Birthday? I wear them almost every day and thy’ve quickly become the most comfortable pair of heels I own!

I wasn’t always a coffee drinker. When you’re surrounded by caffeine addicts, It’s hard not to pour yourself a cup. When I want I treat, I’ll stop by Blue Bottle for an Americano. Contrary to belief, Espresso has less caffeine then regular old coffee and doesn’t make me a jittery mess at the start of my day which is a plus!

By the way, this ring is so beyond perfect for me! My dear friend Julian, owner of Blank Shoppe, hooked me up with this tasty treat.

Found this pretty polka dot frock on the racks at Crossroads Trading Co and it’s become a staple in my wardrobe. Who knew Levi’s made dresses? Well, you do now! I’m certain I wear this dress at least twice a week. Such a great go-to and so perfect all year long.

Chambray Sunsets.

Thursday night, the other Jessie and I took a detour to Indian Rock after work. Evenings seem to be the only time these two busy gals can get together for a photo shoot (that is, unless, we want to start waking up at the crack of dawn! Yikes.) Trying to find solitude proved to be challenging seeing as this is a very popular location to watch the sunset.

This Levi’s chambray dress is by far one of my favorite dresses. I picked it up at Fillmore & 5th about a year ago now and it certainly has served me well. It seems like I’ve been living in it all summer and its so easy to convert into fall.

My coworkers told me this jacket looked like it belonged to a grandmother from the 70’s. They could be right. I picked it up at Thrift Town for five bucks. I loved the color combination and the pattern. I didn’t really know what I was going to do with it and I normally don’t spend money on something I don’t know how to wear, but I’m glad I took a chance on this gem.

I found these boots lurking in the depths of Ambiance‘s sale section. I had been looking for the perfect, nude colored bootie for quite some time. The gold accent on this pair was definitely the deal maker. The cain-linked ring was a whim purchase from Jewelmint. I was won over by the rose gold tone and it’s unusual style. The arrow bracelet was another Ambiance find.
