Best Jeans: Baldwin Denim

While in LA in March I had the opportunity through work to check out the Baldwin factory and showroom downtown, and check out their relaunched women's collection. Matt and his team are the best (thank you so much guys!) and it was so great getting to see a living example of "Made in America" product. The women's FW13 line looks amazing and goes beyond just their quality denim (which I love). I can't wait to own some of their tees and sweatshirts. 

Classic

Mother Denim The Looker in Flowers From the Storm (best blue jeans). Madewell shirt (my favourite white oxford is by Taylor Stitch). Madewell patent oxford shoes. FACE Stockholm for J.Crew nail polish. J.Crew Field Jacket. 

There a few outfits that make me feel like myself, and like I could get anything done and go anywhere while wearing them. A white oxford shirt, my favourite blue jeans, and oxford shoes is one of those combinations. 

April shopping list

New glasses from Warby Parker. More little rings from Catbird. 
Polka-dot oxford from Tradlands. Taupe boots from Wolverine 1000 Mile by Samantha Pleet. 

Chambray shirt update

This baby was my first chambray shirt, bought from the men's section of The Gap when I was in university (similar here). It was looking a little tired in comparison to some of my newer ones, but nothing beats the feeling of a worn in shirt. I decided to update it thanks to an idea from J.Crew, and used a seam ripper to remove the scraggly front pockets. Now it's my favourite! Any DIY project that I can easily do in under 30 minutes really is foolproof. 

Jane Birkin for spring

Everlane box cut tee. Citizens of Humanity boyfriend jeans. Burt's Bees beeswax lip balm.
Tanner Goods leather key lanyard. Brvtvs Isis bracelet. Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars. 

Jane Birkin's effortless style seems to be a recurring inspiration for spring dressing (see here). I love the boyish look of this box cut tee from Everlane and can't wait to try it out once Everlane Canada launches!

Fancy lounging

19 4t crop sweatshirt. Club Monaco silk shorts. R13 cashmere concert tee. Baldwin cashmere sweatpants. 

My current loungewear consists of old comfy t-shirts, hoodies and leggings, but I dream of the day when I will use the words cashmere, silk, and sweats in the same sentence. Luxury loungewear is over-the-top in the best way.
