Dressing Room Diaries

A friend of mine was wearing the cutest pair of wide leg chinos the other night and of course I asked where they were from. Turns out they were Banana Republic, so I headed over there yesterday to try them on along with the above leather skirt (runs big size down LOVE!), boxy cropped shirt (above pic size down), fringed cotton cardigan (selling out fast), silk shirt (good for work or evenings out), suede boots ( Saint Laurent Wyatt look for less), and cotton sweater. Banana Republic is looking so good these days! To check out all the new arrivals click here.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Highland Park

Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a nice weekend. My husband and I met up with friends on Saturday night in Highland Park. We started off at Nativo a charming and cozy bar/restaurant that serves up craft cocktails (I tried El Tesoro tequila for the first time which was really good), next it was dinner at Joy on York (amazing per usual), and finally a night cap at Good Housekeeping a tiny hipster bar nestled behind Cafe Birdie (super cute). Next time we are in the area we will hit Highland Park Bowl which was packed with people and would make for another fun outing in Highland Park.

Now onto fashion, Spring has sprung at J. Crew including new colors of the cashmere monogrammed sweater I’m wearing above. Also worth noting is this cashmere cropped cardigan, Barbour x House of Hackney Jacket (great collab), boucle Lady Jacket, and quilted denim Lady Jacket.

Above Outfit – A.P.C. Blazer // J. Crew Sweater // Mother Jeans // Isabel Marant Boots

Have a great week!
