Who doesn’t love coffee and a cute coffee shop!? Even better! Chicago has their fair share of places so today I rounded up a few of my favorites. These photos were snapped at the new Maison Marcel location in Lincoln Park. It’s more of a cute alleyway and less of an actual coffee shop, but still fabulous nonetheless.

We stopped by after lunch for a little pick me up and took some photos in front of this adorable mural. When working with toddlers, you never know what you’re going to get, but Elle still managed to pose for a few. Besides Maison Marcel, a few more favorites include:

1. LA COLOMBE (Gold Coast & Lincoln Park)

2. DOLLOP COFFEE CO. (Streeterville)

3. HERITAGE BICYCLES GENERAL STORE (Lakeview)

4. LE PAIN QUOTIDIEN (Gold Coast)

5. COLECTIVO COFFEE (Lincoln Park)

6. INTELLIGENTSIA COFFEE (Lakeview)

7. BIG SHOULDER COFFEE (West Town & Gold Coast)

8. THE WORMHOLE COFFEE (Wicker Park)

9. PETIT MARGEAUX (Gold Coast)

10. GASLIGHT COFFEE ROASTERS (Logan Square)

When it comes to springtime, I usually gravitate towards my moto jacket so once again I’m wearing it in today’s outfit post. Let’s break it down:

MOTO JACKET

As you all know, I love a good moto jacket and this one’s my current fave. I’ve worn it a lot recently and you can see other ways I’ve styled it in this post and this post. I’m a huge fan of BLANKNYC because they’re jackets always have great structure. This exact one has a removable hood and comes in 3 different colors. It’s the perfect layering piece for spring and easily gives any outfit more of an edgy vibe {which I love!}. Also it’s under $100 so what more can you ask for!? SHOP MORE FAUX LEATHER JACKETS HERE.

RAW HEM DENIM

I’ve always been a fan of distressed denim and these are from the brand KUT from the Kloth. They’ve got a ton of cute styles and a great price point. These are only $89! They’re super comfortable, high waisted, and are extremely flattering. SHOP MORE DISTRESSED DENIM HERE.

WHITE EYELET BLOUSE

Isn’t this blouse cute?! I especially love the crisp white color for spring and the ruffled sleeves. I find that you can never have too many white tops and this one is currently on sale for only $30. SHOP MORE CUTE TOPS FOR SPRING HERE.

LEOPARD SANDALS

I’ve been loving all the leopard this season and can’t get enough. These sandals are actually from last year, but I was able to find some similar styles here + here. Block heeled sandals are perfect for spring and look great with jeans. SHOP MORE SPRING SANDALS HERE.

BLACK LEATHER SATCHEL

I recently got this handbag and love it so much. It’s extremely versatile and you can either wear it as a cross body bag or as a satchel. I love the fun striped strap and zipper details. It’s from a brand called Botkier which I have grown to love. Their handbags are a great price point and are made extremely well. SHOP MORE OF THEIR HANDBAGS HERE.

HEART SHAPED SUNGLASSES

I first talked about these sunnies in this post and actually have them in white too. These sunglasses are fun and come in a bunch of different colors. They’re only $8 and perfect for bachelorette parties, vacations, and summertime. I have them in white too! SHOP MORE SUNGLASSES HERE.

I love twinning with my bestie so Elle also wore a moto jacket, white blouse, some skinny jeans {Old Navy is always my favorite!}, and the most adorable glitter sneakers {that come in a bunch of different colors. See some more photos from our fun day:
