Currently Loving: Gregorys Coffee!



I'd like to start this post by saying that I've actually known about Gregory's Coffee for a while now. I had a friend who worked for the company, and although she enjoyed working there, she ended up leaving on less than good terms. After hearing her story, although never having tasted their coffee, I decided Gregory's Coffee just wasn't for me.
I also had a friend whose boyfriend was a manager at Gregory's, and since I hated strongly disliked him, this furthered my resolve of never going there.

Flash forward to today. I find myself working in mid-town, literally right next door to a Gregory's Coffee shop. I, an avid and addicted Starbucks drinker, have become (extremely) bored with their coffee & their prices. My favorite drink, an iced dirty chai, costs me around $7-$8. About 2 days ago, I decided to forego my usual morning Starbucks trip to go to Gregs instead and let me tell you, I was not disappointed.

I decided to try just a regular ol' vanilla latte to start. The medium size (16oz) cost me around $5. Not bad. That's around the same price as a latte at Starbucks. The flavor though?! AMAZING! It tasted like good coffee, with a touch of vanilla. It was not burnt or too foamy, and it definitely did not taste like syrup! It was perfect. I will admit, I was hooked at first sip.



At lunch time, I decided to get another cup of coffee (I usually have 2-3 per day), but this time I went with my favorite, a dirty chai, which actually isn't really coffee at all, just tea with a shot of espresso. I ordered a large (20oz) which ran me a little under $6 (same size drink as Starbucks, not same size price). The flavor was SOOO good! Better than any Starbucks chai I've ever had! It was full of spice with a touch of sweetness and again, did not taste syrupy at all!

That was it, they had me. I downloaded the app and will probably only be getting Starbucks when I'm home in Staten Island. Unless of course, Gregory's Coffee is already planning a new location .... *hint *hint. 
If you haven't already given them a try, stop in the next time you pass by one. I promise, you will not be disappointed.

Keep smiling & stay SUNNY!

Chic, Fashion-Forward Pieces That Are Still Work Appropriate

Image
I'm BACK! And just in time for some fall style insight, too. I recently started a new office job that actually has a pretty lax dress code. My inner (mostly outer) fashion girl was SCREAMING with delight!  "A great job, with health insurance, AND I can wear what I want?!".  But, with that kind of freedom, comes responsibility. You see, when they say "wear what you want", they mean as long as it's still appropriate for the office. i.e. - no mid drifts, no booty shorts, no mini skirts. So, for my own sake, and yours - I've complied the following little listicle of super chic (and super affordable), pieces for fall that will have you excited to get dressed for work in the morning. Imagine that. 1. Not Your Fathers Blazer   H&M - $129 (okay - this one isn't exactly "affordable" but it was so cute!) The key to making any outfit work for the office is a well-fitted blazer. These guys are making a BIG comeback this se...

Sneakers For The Girls Who DON'T Wear Sneakers

Image
A couple of posts ago, I talked about being a sneakerhead and listed my favorite drops of 2017 so far. I know that, like myself, there are tons of girls out there that love sneakers and are always keeping their eyes peeled for the latest, coolest releases.  But I got to thinking ... what about the girls who don't usually wear sneakers? The girls who only throw on trainers when they're going to the gym. I'm always badgering my girlfriends to ditch the boots & flats and try on some kicks, but never really thought to help them find styles they'd like and actually want to wear. So here we go, my curated list of sneakers for the non-sneakerhead girl. 10 pairs that'll surely spark some interest in all you girly girls out there! 1 - Adidas - EQT 91/16 Racing Sneaker - $120 I literally could not think of a more girly sneaker if I tried. These super cute Adidas are perfect for warmer weather & for those who typically eschew socks, even with closed toe shoes...

Denim on Denim on Denim

Over the  last few years, there's been a rise and a shift in the way we as a society wear denim. No longer are we confined to just a basic pair of jeans, or a denim jacket. Patchwork, embroidery, frayed & dropped hems, colored denim - there are more options than you can even count when it comes to this generations true blues.  For this post, I've gathered up all my favorite denim trends we're seeing for Spring 2017, as well as where you can find them (click the store/site names under each photo for a direct link to the product!).  The Cropped Flare Kut from Kloth Belle Mild Wash Cropped Flare - $89 - on sale at  Macy's  for $45 Need Supply & Co.
