Coffee Shop Vibes

How cool is the vibe of this cafe. Musicians playing in the background, baristas brewing the coffee, freelancers and entrepreneurs getting shit done, what's not to love right? The few times I have been to Vigilante it has always been for meetings and I found myself admiring their uber-trendy vibe. It seems like an ideal spot to get inspired, write and create. It is about a 40 minute drive from where I stay, else I would have been there daily with my laptop.

Moving on to the outfit ... lately I have been hell-bent on using my transitional pieces all the way through into winter. Hence the maxi, with tights underneath and a leather jacket on top. I also had a winter coat handy, in case it got windy or too cold but thankfully the sun was shining all through the afternoon. I had actually worn this look for a dinner the night before, and then decided to repeat it again the very following day for a meeting, just 'coz I liked it so much. Is that crazy?

Lately I have been hell-bent on using my transitional pieces all the way through into winter. I really want to maximize my existing closet and shop only and only for pieces I really need and/or are missing from my basics. Talking of basics I counted I barely have like six sweaters and I have gone through them all in the past week. Hence, the window shopping at http://www.simons.ca/simons/ There are some really cute and versatile pieces there. I am especially loving the bright colors and chunky knits. Will keep you posted when I add something to the closet.
