J Brand Jeans c/o, Goodnight Macaroon Top, Blazer via Nordstrom (last seen here), Elizabeth & James Shoes, Bailey Hat, Vintage Chanel Bag, Jewelry: "H" necklace c/o of Albeit , Gorjana necklace & leather bracelet c/o, Hermes, McQueen.
I've always been such a fan of menswear inspired outfits, balanced with some feminine touches, like accessories or a pair of fitted jeans. This hat also has become one of my favorite pieces. It's the perfect way to tame my hair on a rainy day without having to throw it into a ponytail, which is what I'd normally do.

PS: You might already know, but Shopbop is having a killer sale right now! #Danger.
Thanks to Kim for snapping these photos!

Mixed Media

Rag & Bone Denim/Leather Jacket (also available here), J Crew Shorts, Dolce Vita Shoes (old), J Crew T, Bracelets: Amrita Singh (20% off your order with the code "Bklyn"), Gorjana
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! Going to start today off with a quick iced coffee run with a visit to the dog park, followed by a stop at Brooklyn Flea. The weather is supposed to be close to 80 degrees, so naturally spirits are high. 
On a completely other note, I adore J Crew for many things, but always felt that their bottoms never fit me quite right. Might be my body type? I was excited to find these shorts and even more that they didn't give me weird "diaper butt" like so many of their pants & shorts do. Score!
Off to get some caffeine - have a wonderful Sunday!

H&M Denim Shorts, J Crew Tee, McQueen Scarf (here & here), H&M Blazer, Chanel Bag, Dolce Vita Shoes. Bracelets: J Crew, L.A. Kahn Designs.
One of my favorite looks, and one I find myself pinning over and over on Pinterest, is the combo of denim shorts paired with a blazer & heels (or flats, of course!). The perfect dressy/casual combo.
Hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

Wanted to wish all the mothers out there, a wonderful Mother's Day weekend! Not a mother myself  yet (well, unless you count being a mother of 2 dogs, which I sort of do), but I do know it's the hardest job in the world! Also, wanted to share my favorite photo of my mom in her early 20's. Love you, mom!
