Coffee, why so chic?

I'm not a coffee drinker. My very traditional family maintained that children don't drink coffee and I complied happily after sneaking a sip,when I was 6, from my mum's cup and thought it was disgusting black venom.

Come highschool, particularly the final year with all that studying, I somehow managed to make-do with mostly green tea and the occasional cappuccino (strictly for fancy reasons, like with friends over even more chic cigarettes called "Vogue"). I was just fine without it on a regular basis. But I LOVED the idea of it.

Now , between a very demanding Business Administration curriculum,working part-time, blogging, and trying to, you know, actually have a life, I'm hitting up the coffee machine at school more often, sometimes north of three times a week. An icky love affair, because for 60 eurocents, you get a plastic cup filled with a dark brown coffee undeserving of its name, but with the same chemical properties. I snare at at all the girls brandishing steaming Starbucks cups and I sigh. I'm too much of a stumble-to-school-no-time-to-stop kind of girl, not to mention Starbucks is $$$.Or should I say €€€?

Anyways, the point and inspiration of this post was that coffee is just so chic, non? 






What about you? Are you a coffee drinker?

Super Style: Kate Lanphear

Kate Lanphear is the epitome of class and cool in the fashion industry, and her neutrally-coloured, punk-influenced outfits have contributed to her gaining a cult following on the Internet and not only. Kate is the Style Director of Elle USA.

She first gained my attention with her bleach blonde hair (which actually had neat black ombre touches when I first took notice) and soon she became one of my favourite fashion people!

Here's my reinterpretation of her flawless style in a casual outfit.
