I was (once again) at the Ace Hotel for a drink the other night, my new favourite spot in the city. There was a combination of the vibe of the crowd and the look and feel of the place that I just really loved. So much so that I had to put together an outfit inspired by it. I hope you like :)

See my previous post on the Ace Hotel here. Thanks to Melanie for her fashion site tips.

How cute is this stripey dress?

I had to balance off the sweetness of the dress with a touch of grit with with this jacket

This necklace was perfect homage to the Ace ;)

Another dash of tough with this boot.

The Stumptown Coffee at the Ace Hotel just became my favourite new spot in the city. Great space, the best (and inexpensive!) coffee. This coffee puts Starbucks to shame. The staff was so sweet, I saw none of the obnoxious New York attitude (that often makes you feel as though you should somehow feel honored to spend your money at their establishment). That hats are also a nice, classic touch. I always believed that New York lacked more comfortable places to lounge and enjoy coffees – unlike the west coast. This is perfect. It has this plush urbanite meets the back woods vibe that's very chic. And you're allowed to linger. If you haven't stopped in, you should. You can even bring your laptop here and get some work done. I love it.

Who wants to meet for coffee?
