caffeine and inspiration i found starbucks to be full of inspiration this morning...maybe i'm lightheaded from lack of nutrition, or maybe it just was that inspiring...first, isn't the color story of the christmas blend packaging beautiful? and don't you know people who get such joy from the red holiday cups? i know i do. get the joy, i mean, though i also know other people who do. it's a sure sign that the holidays are here, and so i love the idea of getting someone an ornament of that very cup! it's as perennial reminder of the holidays for some as the idea of a christmas tree, so why not go for synergy? they come in a set that includes the plain old white cups, or individually as the red ones. paired with a starbucks gift card, this makes the perfect stocking stuffer or thank you gift. i also love the new selection of mugs, including the classic line which are clean and graphic with the starbucks sizes emblazoned on them (clearly the venti would be my choice) and even include a teeny, tiny, totally adorable tasting cup at 3 ounces, known as a demi in barista land. this one is so cute for when you just want a sip...or to serve at the end of an evening with mini biscotti and chocolate covered spoons. or if you want to feel like alice in wonderland. i also love the ones with the sort of freestyle mug designs inspired by their italian roast. aren't they pretty? i like that they're so unbranded, so they'd look fine in anyone's home. and how about this starbucks reserve mug that seems to be made just for me...at first, i was thinking "why would you buy this unless your last name starts with an R?" and then i realized, it doesn't matter, because mine DOES START WITH AN R! p.s. did you know you could buy the starbucks flavored syrups? who knew?

if i were allowed only one passion in life, it would be details. to me, no detail is too small to observe, improve or enjoy. the beauty of details isn't about perfection as much as it's about learning what you like and using it to create pleasure for yourself and the people in your life. most of life is not in our control, so i firmly believe in making the things that are the best they can be. a conversation with (2) a new home (25) accessories (103) already-have list (7) anthropologie (3) antique (6) architecture (3) art (52) artist's dates (9) aspen (1) babies (27) bags (34) bahamas (2) baking (4) banana republic (1) bath and body works (6) bathrooms (12) beach (14) beauty (49) bed bath and beyond (5) bedrooms (20) birds (4) bloggers (28) books (16) canada (1) candles (9) cb2 (4) celebs (15) centerpieces (2) children (30) coconut (3) colors (67) commute (10) contest (2) cookbooks (3) cooking (29) cool links (51) cozy (20) crate and barrel (28) deep thoughts (97) design (202) designers (48) dining room (18) domino (2) ebay (4) entertaining (80) entryways (3) erwin pearl (1) etsy (10) fall (45) fashion (64) flowers (74) food and drink (74) food and drinks (13) food network (2) fun (67) furniture (56) FYI (310) gap (4) gardening (37) generosity (4) gifts (136) giveaway (3) glam (11) green (30) hampton designer showhouse (7) happy weekend (24) health (10) high/low (7) holiday gifts (27) holidays (62) home (242) home organization (35) honey events (3) honey gift files (66) hotels (4) houses (11) ideas (229) ikea (6) ina (9) instant obsessions (52) jewelry (36) jonathan adler (5) keeping your head on straight (39) kids (3) kitchen (33) kitchen prep (9) kitties (7) lavender (11) lighting (12) magazines (25) make-up (8) mani/pedi (21) martha (30) mexico (3) midcentury (4) movies (3) music (16) new york city (17) obsessions (65) old navy (8) paint (14) paris (3) parties (54) party decor (6) pet (2) pier 1 (17) places (9) port washington (13) pottery barn (18) pretty things (433) produce (34) products (51) projects (52) rachael ray (1) reader dilemma (1) recipes (22) red envelope (3) regency (5) repost (9) restoration hardware (4) routines (95) rugs (5) scarves (1) scents (25) sephora (1) shopping (300) showers (5) sky (6) small comforts (52) small pleasures (126) smiles (121) sparkly things (11) spirituality (3) spring (54) summer (75) tag sales (18) taking our sweet time (4) target (14) textiles (39) the great outdoors (51) tiny treasures (34) travel (33) tv (10) video (20) weddings (55) west elm (13) william sonoma home (1) winter (13) wish list (77) wisteria (7)
