Fashion Series Cups, Vittoria Coffee

For those of you who have read my "I Eat | Flinders Lane" post, you'll remember that I mentioned having brunch with someone who works in the coffee industry, that being Vittoria Coffee. She was so sweet, it kind of felt like reconnecting with a friend, and at the end of our meeting she gave me these paper cups, that Vittoria designed for fashion week, to take home. I knew that I had to make a post about them as soon as I could.

So, Vittoria is an Australian based, coffee product manufacturing company, founded in Sydney in 1947. Having over fifty years of experience in this industry, they're currently "Australia's #1 pure coffee brand." They actually distribute to quite a few places here in NYC, including Flinders Lane, and they definitely don't disappoint.

If you'd like to read more about them, and what they do, you can go visit they're very nicely designed website here: http://www.vittoriacoffee.com/

I Eat | Narita Airport (成田国際空港)

Tuesday, May 26, 2015

So, last month, my mother went away for a week on a trip to Indonesia. On her way back home, she had a layover in Japan, stopping at Narita Airport. And, knowing my love for all things Japanese, she brought over several snacks that were in the little shops in the airport. My goodness, they were all so adorable, it almost felt like a waste to eat any of them, but we just had to.

Anyone who knows me, knows that my heart has always had this pull and connection to Japan, its culture, food, and everything else about them. So, seeing all of these snacks, it felt like seeing little parts of a home I have yet to discover. Something I definitely noticed right away, was that the attention to detail with packaging was amazing. The Japanese don't play around, and their efforts show.

I'm so excited to show you all the few snacks I had the honour of trying out!

Cafes | Bee's Knees Baking Co.

Saturday, May 23, 2015

Bee's Knees Baking Co., Kips Bay, NYC.

I actually stumbled upon this place, because some of my friends from Baruch College visit here often, seeing as it's nearby, and there's also free wifi. I was waiting for one of them to get out of school, just to hang out for a little while, and ended up here as I was walking around.

Although majority of the customers in this location are students working (or trying to work) on their laptops, I found that it was still possible for someone like me, who's casually walking in just to sit down and relax, to find a space to fit in. It's a cute little place to visit, student or not, and it's sort of like a hideaway from the fast-paced sidewalk that, sometimes, gets a little overwhelming.
