sweater {similar} // phone case
I have a borderline obsession with coffee, lattes in particular. Let me explain…
I am proud to say that I lived the first 20 or so years of my life off the coffee sauce, but one fateful day before finals my junior year of college, I walked into a coffee shop and ordered a non-fat caramel macchiato. Let me just tell you, it was love at first sip. Now, like clock-work every morning, I wake up {after hitting snooze at least 4 times…} and the only thing I can think of is “COFFEE PLEASE!” Thank goodness there’s a coffee shop on the first floor of my building at work, because otherwise I’m not sure I’d be able to get there…or at least function the other 10 hours of my day.
On the weekends, I keep the tradition alive and hit up a few of my favorite coffee shops around the city. My favorite neighborhood hangout is Floriole in Lincoln Park, and I find myself most weekends with my laptop in tow attempting to get work done. To be perfectly fair, I sometimes watch Hulu, but you know, 80% is showing up, right? HP was awesome and hooked me up with a new laptop a few weeks back, and I’ve been lugging it around everywhere. It has tons of awesome apps, and it turns out painting programs have come a long way from Kid Pix!
Speaking of HP, they’re being extra awesome and sending me to a Megan Trainor concert in Chicago in a few weeks! If you’re interested in getting in on the action {yes please!} you can enter for your chance to win a ticket today on my Instagram. But for real, please enter, because I need a buddy to go with 🙂
I just ordered this phone case 😉 twinsies. You might catch me entering this contest just to have an excuse to jet up to Chicago and get awayyyy. Have a good weekend, Maya!

I will have to check this coffee shop out! I'm always looking for trendy bakeries or coffee shops in the city to explore during the warmer months! I am ready for warmer weather here in Chicago and for it to be warm enough for outdoor seating! If you ever want good coffee on the go in downtown I recommend the coffee bar at Eataly. I always treat myself to coffee from there when I am reminiscing about my time abroad. It tastes just like how they serve it in Italy! I hope you have a great weekend!
