Denim with your denim, why the heck not! There's nothing better than a great pair of jeans or two or three.  Well you get the picture. A great pair of  jeans is an absolute staple, in fact it's a MUST have! And who doesn't love a great denim button down? Comfortable, casual, not to mention versatile. You can wear it with dress pants to the office, looks great with white denim jeans in the Spring, as a cover up over your bikini at the beach, and yes you can wear it with your favorite blue jeans too. What's your favorite denim piece in your closet?

Most weekends I'm catching up, running errands, and planning for the week ahead. I want to look good and feel comfortable but that doesn't mean sweats are my only option.  I know many of us lead very busy lives but I strongly believe that if we put a little extra effort we can make even the most basic jeans & tee look not so basic. Why not grab a pair of comfy booties instead of running shoes? Add a pop of bright color to your lips & cheeks! Messy hair and no time to do it?  No problem, just throw on a cute hat or try a messy bun! These are just a few ideas I wanted to share, I hope I've inspired your weekend wardrobe!

What's your go to weekend outfit?

If you're looking for a casual friendly place to spend some time with friends while enjoying good food and drinks, look no further. Sweet Afton a local Astoria bar is positively a must. It's simply charming with it's exposed brick walls and reclaimed wood interior. The vibe is relaxed, somewhat hipster, casual and friendly. The menu is small but not small in taste. They pride themselves on using locally sourced ingredients. HANDS DOWN the BEST Mac & Cheese I have ever had! Check out their website (here) for location and GO, hurry you can thank me later!
