coffee + food…

i love getting tips on new places to try & luckily this one was just down the way from work. cyndi finkle and mel cain’s collaboration, coffee + food is a beautiful space with killer sandwiches & smooth aussie brewed coffee. the cafe is airy & the perfect place to catch a quick bite & watch the staff charm guests. both cafe items i tried were fresh & filled with complex flavors, that had me wanting more! i’m so glad this little gem is here to stay…

soft tones…

although i religiously wear black like nobody’s business, i have been leaving my comfort zone and wearing more neutrals. i’ve been wearing neutral nails & kinda loving it, so these combinations with earth tones are calling to my softer side…

i can’t even keep up with all of the styles, i love from clare vivier. i truly believe she’s mastered the art of simplicity. never have i been so smitten with a handbag designer’s ideas & practicality, especially with this timeless duffel (“duffle”, however you wanna spell it!) creation. i’m excited to finally get the messenger bag in azul (in november! can’t wait!), but for now i will lust this one from afar…
