Yerba Mate Latte

I don't get to South Philly a lot but when I do, it almost always includes a trip to Grindcore House for a gluten free bagel and a Yerba Mate Latte. It's this great little vegan coffee shop on a quiet corner. If you're local, you should definitely check it out.

I didn't realize until I was writing this blog post but I kinda went for all-boyfriend-everything with this outfit. I think it's safe to say boyfriend-cut items of clothing are my go-to when I want to be comfy. (PERFECT for a little café trip.) Boyfriend jeans, boyfriend jacket, a thrifted sweater, and even menswear-inspired shoes and a scarf.


My challenge lately has been finding that delicate balance between chic and casual. I haven't perfected it yet but I've found that pairing neutrals with simple (but structured) black accessories helps a lot. I guess that would be my resolution for the upcoming year: be "effortlessly cool."

Hope you all had a great weekend!
