{gift guide} cup of joe

As modern day women, we pretty much have it all.  That's fantastic except when it comes to  gift giving for all my stylish friends, things get a bit difficult.  In my quest to find unique and beautiful gifts, I put together a gift guide associated with the one thing we all pretty much do everyday:  drink coffee. 

I used to only be a social coffee drinker, if I was out shopping with friends we'd stop for a coffee or meet up for a Saturday afternoon cappuccino and chat.  Lately coffee has become so engrained in my morning routine that I can't function without it.  Needless to say, I'm addicted.  As my love and taste for coffee has grown, I've also become a bit more selective about my coffee maker, mug and accoutrements so I was pleased to find these luxurious gifts for my cup of joe! 

What's your coffee style:  gourmet or functional?

I'm here!  Capri is beautiful.  It's a gorgeous island full of colorful houses and glamorous people.  (Seriously, Italians are so stylish!)  And the fresh seafood is unparalleled.  So far I've had calamari, shrimp, lobster, and fish...it was all delicious.  But, my favorite edible part of Capri is the iced coffee.  I come from America: the land of Starbucks and sugary, icy caffeine-infused beverages galore, but never have I had such creamy, blended ice coffee drinks like the ones in Capri.  They are delicious! 

Tomorrow is the wedding! I'm off to a private boat tour of the island!
