For this look, I decided to keep within a monochrome theme. Since my outfit was black and simple, I chose to pair it with a statement wool coat, which adds something a bit more interesting to the overall look. The temperature has been dropping the past couple of days, so I thought a turtleneck would be appropriate for this time of the year and I paired it with my ripped high rise jeans. The ripped knees allow me to show a bit of skin so that the outfit doesn't look completely black from head to toe. As for accessories, I wore a maroon beanie to add some color and I wore Vagabond chunky boots paired with sheer polka dot socks, which add a subtle unique detail.

American Bulldog Coffee Roasters recently opened at 31 N Broad Street in Ridgewood, NJ.  When you enter the shop, the first thing you notice is a beautiful fireplace with retro decor and you immediately feel the cozy/comforting vibe the shop gives off. It offers a great selection of expresso based drinks and also a variety of teas and after speaking with the owner, I found out that they only use organic ingredients and their baked goods are all gluten free and baked in the house! They even roast their own beans at another location near the shop, which is pretty cool. 

I've already paid multiple visits to this shop and I have to say, it was one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had. Some of my favorite food items on the menu are the raspberry brownie and the plain croissant, the brownie was baked to perfection and the croissant was so fresh! They have a variety of other baked goods to choose from such as biscotti's, cookies, and if your in the mood for something savory, they offer quiche tartlets. I will definitely be paying many more visits so that I can try the rest of what's on the menu and if you're ever in the area, check this place out!
