Outfit Details
Hello Dahhhlings! I hope everyone is having a great week! I wanted to share this Creme de la Creme look with y'all including my love for coffee. I have this thing for pink accessories. Every time I see an accessory I love, I ask "Do you have this in pink? If so, I'll take it?" I love pink so much that when I wear other colors I still like to incorporate pink somewhere. It makes me happy. Pops of pink can bring any outfit to life, even a white t-shirt and jeans. If I am purchasing something in pink that is a current trend, I don't spend a lot on it because I know I won't be wearing it for very long. If I have been eyeing something pink for a while (like a bag or shoes) or it's on my wishlist, I tend to "invest" in an item so I can add it to my collection and wear it for a while. I have had the beanie, bag and shoes in the pics above for a while and plan on wearing them forever, because to me pink is ALWAYS trending.
I also have this thing for coffee. If I see it, smell it or think about it, I want it! Coffee is a treat for me, daily! I like to start my morning with a nice cup of coffee and some days, I like to have a cup in the afternoon. I prefer hot coffee in the morning and iced in the afternoon as a little pick me up during my work day. I also like it as a dessert! I guess it's safe to say, I love coffee! I really enjoy going to have coffee. Much like going to a restaurant, I like to find coffee shops and sit there and enjoy a cup of coffee. When I travel anywhere, one of my first questions is "Where is the best place to get coffee?" I like my lattes to look pretty of course but I also like them to taste delicious! A fun little fact...the finish line of all of my training runs also happens to be Starbucks. When I see the green sign, I know I am almost done with my run.
I have been asked quite a few times where my favorite coffee shops are so I am listing them below. If you have any coffee shops that I should try please let me know! Even if they are not in Houston, I would like to hear where they are so I can make sure to visit them when I travel.
My Top 5 Favorite Coffee Shops
1.) The Honeymoon Cafe The Honeymoon Cafe was the location of the photos above in this post. It was the week of Christmas and I was enjoying a white peppermint latte! The Honeymoon Cafe not only has great coffee, they have delicious food too! It feels so warm and cozy inside especially during the holidays. This place is very special to me because we took some of our engagement photos here and we got married right across the street at the Hotel Icon. Every year on our wedding anniversary we go for a long run to The Honeymoon Cafe for a pic then run back home. They have a great brunch too! I can never decide between a hot or iced coffee soooo... I order BOTH! A hot vanilla latte and an iced Crud, it's cold brew coffee, espresso, chicory, vanilla and cream. Basically, it's delicious and you just have to try one for yourself! I literally chug it all in two sips! Sluuuurrrppp!
2. Boomtown Coffee Boomtown Coffee is located in the hip area of The Heights on W.19th St. It's nestled in between quaint shops and stores and feels like a welcoming neighborhood coffee shop. I like to grab a coffee and walk around. Fun fact, Boomtown Coffee is the coffee served at The Honeymoon Cafe. Once I found that out, I knew that's why I liked it so much! The inside decor is so modern and polished. There is also vibrant art hanging on the wall that adds nice pops of color to the clean white decor. You can take your laptop and get some work done or just sit back and enjoy a nice cup of joe. The line is usually pretty long which is expected for such deliciousness! I like to order an iced Crud Mocha with an espresso ice cube! Needless to say, it will definitely help you tackle your to-do list!
3. Catalina Coffee Catalina Coffee is a cozy little coffee shop that serves yummy coffee and pastries! It's nestled in between The Heights and Downtown Houston and has a calm atmosphere with chill music playing in the background. I like to visit Catalina coffee to relax and it is also a great spot to catch up with a friend or meet a colleague. I like to treat myself to a caramel latte paired with an almond croissant. The iced chai lattes are really good too! Go ahead, treat yo-self!
4. Fellini Caffe I love sweets! When I want to go somewhere for a sweet treat coffee and dessert, I go to Fellini. I stumbled upon this place when I was shopping one day and I had my husband take me for dessert that night. It's located in the busy Rice Village Shopping area but has a feel that you are somewhere else. You can sit outside on a nice night too! I make sure to leave room for dessert when I come here because I like to order the Caramellato to drink and a few, I mean one cannoli, yes just one cannoli. Wink, wink!
5. Agora If you want to escape to an old world European atmosphere then visit Agora. I had heard about it for a while before trying it and I was glad when I finally did. Not only do they offer coffee, they have wine, champagne, Greek Freddo, baklava and on some occasions, belly dancing! It has a very eclectic feel and you really feel that you are visiting Greece. The atmosphere is lively but you can also find a table to have a nice convo with friends or a loved one. I like to pretend that I have traveled abroad to Greece when I visit Agora so I order the Freddo Cappucino and baklava. Enjoy!
