Crochet and Coffee

What goes together better than peas and carrots or peanut butter and jelly? Crochet and Coffee, obviously. Well I’m partially kidding but honestly, I don’t think there is a thing out there that wouldn’t pair well with iced coffee in the summer time. This summer has been pretty darn hot so when I need a pick me up, iced coffee is definitely my go to. I love a good iced coffee from Starbucks but when I am out in DC, I love discovering boutique coffee shops because usually their cold brew cannot be beat. My ahhmazing photographer, Emma Weiss, and I stumbled upon The Coffee Bar near Logan Circle during a recent shoot and I instantly fell in love. Not just for their genius brews but also for their electric and quaint vibe. A must try if you are in the Logan Circle neighborhood! I have been loving crochet pieces this summer and snagged this crochet shift dress at a recent Zara sale because the price could not be beat (under $40) and it was perfect for those end of summer parties/happy hours.

These boots literally were made for walking, because somehow I managed to walk in them all day, which is rare for me in heels. If you haven’t invested in a pair of over the knee boots this season, it’s not too late, because the same pair are now on sale. Snag them before they sell out! I’ve linked a few of my other favorite leopard print bags below if you are feeling the slightest bit inspired from this post. Enjoy 😉 Wearing- Blazer (Helmut Lang); Shorts (Iro); Tank (JBrand); Bracelet (Victoria Emerson); Bag (Stella McCartney); […]
