Barnes and Noble



Gifted Monday Martini boyfriend blazer, Aviator Nation racerback, Gap jeans, Havaianas flip flops.



One of my favorite weekend rituals is hitting the bookstore to pick up fashion magazines, browse the books, down iced lattes and fill my ears with classical music.

Question: Did Starbucks discontinue the Cinnamon Dolce latte for good? :(



Before the intermittent rain set in, I took these with my new camera. I decided to splurge on my own digital SLR camera. When Alejandro isn't around I can always approach my best friend, brother or Mom to take photos of me. I also enjoy taking pictures myself, it's been a hobby since high school, I loved that class; creepy dark room and all.


{ Vogue Paris, Kate Moss, Vogue UK and Freja Beha Erichesen }

Your outfit is so cute. Very cool looking, gives off a simple chic look. Great magazines too =]

I love Freja and Kate Moss on each cover. Great jacket !

Janet said...

Oh I know it makes me mad :( here's a recipe to try at home. Easy to do, and not a bad low calorie indulgence either!

Ingredients:

Shot of Espresso
Dusting - 1/8 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 Cup of milk for steaming
Sugar to taste
Smuckers Caramel Sundae Syrup (Optional, but recommended)

Pull your shot of espresso and mix in the ground cinnamon, start small because it's easy to go overboard. Mix in sugar if desired. Steam milk and top off to make your latte. Drizzle the sundae syrup over the top of the latte in rapid circles. (If you just squeeze the thing, you'll shoot gobs of caramel syrup through the steamed milk, but quick circular patterns keeps the drizzled syrup on top of the foam.)



or BUY THE STARBUCKS SYRUP FOR $11 on the Starbucks.com store. :)
