STARBUCKS...A STREET STYLE ACCESSORY

{Photographer Kendall Peoples}

LETS BE HONEST, HAS OUR FAVORITE LOCAL COFFEE SHOP (STARBUCKS) BECOME MORE THAN JUST A QUICK COFFEE, CAPPUCCINO OR LATTE RUN OR IS IT CONSIDERED AN ACCESSORY IN FASHION?

DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LOVE A GOOD CUP OF JOE IN THE MORNING, IT'S MY ENERGY BOOSTER WHEN I'M DREADING MY A.M. ERRANDS OR PREPPING FOR LONG DAY AT WORK. STARBUCKS HAS BEEN THE MOST POPULAR QUAINT GO-TO COFFEE SHOP SINCE THE EARLY 2000s, BUT THE QUESTION REMAIN, HAS IT BECAME AN ADDED ACCESSORY WITH OUR WARDROBE? IT IS A KNOWN TREND THAT HOLDING A SAVVY STARBUCKS CUP IN HAND, COMPLIMENTS A CHIC STREET STYLE LOOK—TABLOIDS SHOTS PICS OF CELEBRITIES AND FASHIONISTA ON THE MOVE WALKING THE STREETS OF NEW YORK OR L.A. HAS CONFIRMED THAT.

"Coffee has arguably the most durable and popular accessory, a "trend" that, like any other fad, indeed signals the seasons. (Iced coffee basically a season unto itself.) And it's more than just a weather forecaster—the cups we carry become an extension of ourselves, signaling our tastes and aesthetics as much as our watches, shoes or bags." —Theresa Avila

NOW WE BUILD OUR WARDROBE AROUND THE COFFEE WE DRINK:

*Standard Coffee-Business suits or "Wear-To-Work" attire

*Latte-Street chic Savvy

*Frappuccino- comfy cozy knits, jeans, a trendy hat and your oversized scarf

"Handbags and Headbands may be chic, but if you really want to be a Hollywood hottie, you need to tote a colossal cup of caffeine!" —Hollie McKay at Fox News(2007)

DRINKING WITH STYLE

 NOW THAT IT HAS CONQUERED THAT PEDESTAL OF FASHION ON-THE-GO, THEY HAVE GOTTEN A LITTLE STYLISH WITH THEIR TRAVEL CUPS, NOW SHOWING MORE OF A PERSONALITY AND FASHION STATEMENT WITH A CUP OF COFFEE.

 OF COURSE WE CAN'T FORGET THE SPECIALTY DRINKS SUCH AS: FRAPPUCCINO, CAPPUCCINO, MACCHIATOS AND LATTE THAT MAKE IT FEEL EVEN MORE FANCY A BROAD AND NATIONWIDE TREND!

FASHION TREND VIRAL

IT HAVE BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT IN MEDIA SUCH A INSTAGRAM, TWITTER AND TUMBLR AS AN OPPORTUNITY IN EXPLOITING BOTH FASHION AND CONSTRUCTING AN IDEAL IMAGE OF OUR DAILY LIVES, DON'T BELIEVE ME? CHECK OUT THEIR #HASTAGS. FASHION BLOGGERS HAS STAMPED THE TREND—SEEING COUNTLESS STYLISH WOMEN POSING WITH A TRAVEL CUP IN ONE HAND AND A PURSE IN THE OTHER. 

SO THE QUESTION WE ASK, HAS STARBUCKS BECAME A HIGHLIGHTED FACTOR AS AN ACCESSORY IN OUR EVERYDAY FASHION LIFE?

I LIKE TO THINK SO MYSELF, HAVING A CUP OF LATTE PAIRED WITH MY STREET STYLE JUST MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I'M READY FOR BUSINESS, WHETHER I'M WEARING MY CORPORATE ATTIRE OR MY WEEKEND LOOK....IT'S NO LONGER THAN JUST COFFEE ITS ALMOST LIKE MY FASHION LIFESTYLE....AS ONE WOULD SAY!

CAMEL David Beckham "HM Collection"

THAT MOMENT WHEN YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH YOUR FIRST OVERCOAT WHICH HAPPEN TO BE DAVID BECKHAM "Modern Collection" FROM H&M.

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO OWN A GOOD STRUCTURED CAMEL OVERCOAT, BUT IT WAS EITHER HARD TO FIND THE PERFECT SIZE OR RIGHT LENGTH. WAS IN H&M A FEW DAYS AGO, AFTER DOING FRIVOLOUS SHOPPING WITH MY FRIEND, I HAPPEN TO SKIM MY WAY TO THE MEN'S SECTION OF THE STORE AND NOTICE AN OVERCOAT THEY WAS TRYING ON. I DECIDED TO TRY THE COAT ON, AT FIRST FOR FUN....I INSTANTLY TOOK A LIKING TO THE FIT AND THE COLOR OF THE COAT. WAS EVEN MORE EXCITED ABOUT THE PRICE IT HAD GOT MARKED DOWN FOR. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A LITTLE OVERSIZED AND NOT IN A FEMALE VERSION, COULD'NT PASS UP ON A FRUGAL FIND AND GOOD QUALITY OUTERWEAR.

I ALWAYS SEEN HOW WOMEN SHOW OFF THEIR STREET STYLE FASHION INCOPORATED WITH AN OVERSIZE CAMEL OVERCOAT ON THE INTERNET(Pinterest that is) WHERE THEY MIXED MASCULINE OUTERWEAR WITH A FEMININE STREET CHIC TOUCH. I'M AN ADVOCATE OF MENSWEAR WITH A TWIST OF FEMININITY IN ANYTHING I WEAR, ITS ALMOST LIKE SEEING THE BALANCED BETWEEN THE TWO AND OWNING IT ON A DAILY BASIS!

KICKS AND CHILL.....

I LOVE THE DAYS WHEN YOU'RE OFF YOUR OVERDRAWN 9-5 JOB AND TRY TO SQUEEZE IN THAT ONE OR TWO DAY(S) OUT OF THAT WEEKS WORTH OF RUNNING ERRANDS ALL DAY. ANTICIPATING FOR THEM DAYS BEING LAXED IN MY WARDROBE, WITH JUST AS SIMPLE AS A T-SHIRT OR AN OVERSIZED COMFY KNIT SWEATER IN THE WINTER.  A GET UP AND GO LOOK IS ALWAYS A GOOD MOVE; VERY CONTEMPORARY, LESS RESTRICTIONS AND COMFORTABILITY FOR THE MOST PART. 

A TYPICAL DAY OFF ENSEMBLE INVOLVES MY FAVORITE CHUCKS, JEANS AND AN ASSORTED KNIT TOP. SURE THAT MIGHT NOT BE TOO AMUSING AS A SWANKY DRESS UP LOOK, BUT TRUST...ITS WORTH THE "OOTD" AND A PERFECT COMBO FOR THAT RUNNING ERRANDS AND BEING HASSLE FREE FROM THE BORING WEAR-TO-WORK ATTIRE.

COOL KICKS➕KNITS EQUAL CHILL DAYS!

What's your favorite chill look?
