 I've pretty much been living in this look. Sometimes I'll switch it up with a black tee shirt, long charcoal tank top, or oversized button down. These ripped shorts have also been on repeat. I love how minimalistic and simple this look is. My motto is, essentially- less is more and basics are best.

Happy Monday, y'all!

coffee break

Sometimes it's the simplest things in life that make the biggest difference. For the last couple weeks I've spent a few days a week for just a couple of hours at my local Starbucks to answer emails and focus on writing for the blog. Usually I write from home and a post that really takes half an hour becomes a chore and ends up being published sometime around 2:00am (when I can hear myself think).  Even though I still end up staying up that late some nights, it's nice to know how much productivity can come from just taking a coffee break. 

I also included some shots from the last time I spent the day in NOLA
