Old Navy Sweatshirts


Old Navy has had a great selection of activewear and loungewear recently, with lots of cute designs!  I stopped in earlier this week and came across two in particular that I thought were fun:



I loved the coral-pink color of this sweatshirt, and also that the font was pretty small for being one of those "quote shirts", which made it a little unique.  




As soon as I saw this "Hello There" sweatshirt on the mannequin, I knew I wanted it!  Unfortunately there were none of these below or close to the mannequin that had this sweatshirt, and as I looked around I was starting to wonder if this was the only one available.  But then, I went into the clearance section and someone had left behind the sweatshirt in my size no less, woo!  Unfortunately it was not actually on clearance which would've been a nice bonus, but I was happy to find one at all.  It's super soft and cozy, perfect for fall and winter weekends!

Starbucks Japan - Tokyo Mug




Big thanks to my oldest brother that was able to pick up this Tokyo Starbucks mug at Narita Airport during his recent business trip to Japan!  While these don't look exactly like the "You Are Here" collection that is sold here, it's a very fun design that has some of the icons of Tokyo (like the Tokyo Skytree building).  And, since I have been collecting the Starbucks location mugs for places that I have been to, of course I had to have the Tokyo one!

In related news, it looks like Starbucks Japan is coming out with a new Geography series which is a very colorful and fun set of designs to celebrate different areas of Japan - I hope to see these in person sometime soon!!

Paper Source - Yoga Pants Card




I came across this card at Paper Source over the weekend and had to snap a photo because it's so true, haha!  And while I'm sure there are plenty of people that actually wear yoga pants to work out in.... but it's safe to say I'm not exactly one of them.  I hope this can give you a little chuckle on this Wednesday!

Georgetown Cupcake - Midnight Cookies and Creme + Chocolate Ghost Cupcakes



I love that Georgetown Cupcake has a lot more Halloween-themed cupcake flavors this year - the more new flavors the better!  

Here we have the Midnight Cookies and Creme (Valrhona chocolate cupcake topped with a milk chocolate cookies & crème buttercream frosting and cookie crumbles) and the Chocolate Ghost (Valrhona Chocolate cupcake topped with whipped Callebaut chocolate ganache frosting and decorated with a white fondant ghost) cupcakes.  Both cupcake flavors are perfect for any chocolate lovers!  

The extra cookie crumbles on the Midnight Cookies and Creme cupcake add lots of texture and extra chocolate flavor.  The Chocolate Ghost is a fun twist on the regular menu Chocolate Squared cupcake, and the thick chocolate ganache frosting adds a decadent touch.  And the little fondant ghost makes this perfect for a Halloween treat or a party.  Be sure to check out all of the fun Halloween flavors being offered this year!

Duck Donuts - Pumpkin Pie Doughnut




This pumpkin pie doughnut from Duck Donuts is the perfect fall doughnut!  As soon as I saw this flavor advertised on their Facebook page, I knew I had to go check it out.  The delicious smell hit me as soon as I opened up the box, and it's a strong, perfect blend of pumpkin pie spices.  This wasn't so much a thick frosting, but you could taste the spices and glaze with every bite - perfect with a cup of coffee! If you like pumpkin spice flavors this doughnut is a must-have!

Target - Pumpkin Pie Towels


A few weeks ago I noticed a nice display at the front area of my local Target, with lots of Fall and Thanksgiving-themed dinnerware and kitchen items.  When I went again recently, I was happy to see all of the items in that section now on clearance!  

I had my eye on this set of pumpkin pie flour sack towels, and of course at $1.75 (+ Target Cartwheel discount) I had to get it!  There are lots of serving dishes, mini dip bowls, and dessert plates - including a Latte-themed plate that I already bought previously which is super cute.  Be sure to check out this section at your Target if you're in the market for some new Thanksgiving wares or Fall kitchen items.

Starbucks - Pumpkin Spice Latte Turns 13!



Last week I saw a Starbucks Facebook post that the Pumpkin Spice Latte was celebrating its 13th birthday (!) and they were offering pumpkin spice whipped cream for the weekend, along with some cute little PSL themed pins.  Luckily at the Starbucks I went to, the barista had the pins on their apron already so I didn't have to try to explain what it was that I was looking for, haha.  The pumpkin whipped cream was a decadent addition to the PSL that I got, and I love that the pin has a little pumpkin on it too, so cute!  Happy 13th birthday, Pumpkin Spice Latte!
