Daily Style: Starbucks White Ceramic Mug

starbucks

I am enamored with these sleek, black-and-white mugs from Starbucks.

I have long struggled with fitting my juxtaposition of coffee mugs into my kitchen cupboards, quite a feat since the misshapen handles are not exactly compact. Nevertheless, the handles serve their purpose and keep me from burning my fingers!

These mugs from Starbucks are white and beautifully simple, with no odd appendages so to speak of. Instead, they boast a sleek black band that serves the same purpose as the cardboard sleeves on to-go cups but with a whole lot more style.

Starbucks White Ceramic Mug with Black Sleeve is available from Starbucks for $9.95.

I have yet to outgrow bathtime treats, and I absolutely can’t resist these sweet little bath products that arrive wrapped up looking just like peanut butter cups, chocolate squares and other delicious confections.

This Blissful Bath Happy Birthday Fizzy Bath Cupcake bath bomb masquerading as a tasty birthday treat is beyond adorable and even boasts the baked vanilla scent of its namesake – absolutely adorable!

Available from Blissful Bath for $3.25 each.

Win a Degree Women Fine Fragrance Inspired Tibi Swimsuit

tibi runway show

Degree Women Fine Fragrance Collection partnered with the Tibi Swimwear 2010 runway show in Miami this month and I was lucky enough to get a first-hand look!

Tibi designer Amy Smilovic designed three suits inspired by the Degree Women Fine Fragrance Collection: Classic Romance, Sexy Intrigue and Delicious Bliss.

My favorite of the three is Classic Romance (which also comes in a clinical strength deodorant!) but the other two scents are equally good.

I’m not supposed to tell you this (when has that ever stopped me?! Ha) but the Tall Dark Handsome one has been USING MY DELICIOUS BLISS DEODORANT! He likes the way it smells so much, he asked me to pick one up JUST FOR HIM. (But you didn’t hear that from me. Got it?)

The Tibi show was fabulous (I even caught a glimpse of Olivia Palermo who smiled and waved at me when she noticed me snapping her photo!)

The collection of brightly colored suits, inspired by the designer’s recent trip to Indonesia, has clean and simple silhouettes suitable for all shapes and sizes. My favorite suit in the collection is the Sexy Intrigue-inspired one-piece (shown above) with a double asymmetrical strap.

The other Degree Women Fine Fragrance Collection Suits are just as pretty:
