For all of you out there covering Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City and even those who are following it or just attending the shows for fun, you know it’s non-stop action from beginning to end. Well, this fashionista lives on caffeine, and it’s been a real boost since I’ve been up late every night either writing, editing, or just planning the next day’s outfit (for Fashion Week, you know you have to be on point). There may have also been a few shopping trips.
The bottom line is I have been burning the candle at both ends. Hey, shopping can be exhausting. Just ask my husband. To top it all off the coffee maker I got at my bridal shower five years ago has decided to no longer work. I need my caffeine in the morning! I’ve got no time to find a new coffee maker. It’s kind of like finding a husband – you can’t just settle. Thankfully, I recently got my hands on some Cafe Mocha, the new chocolate-flavored iced café con leche from Cafe Bustelo. I love a good strong coffee drink (I don’t want to overuse the husband metaphor…), especially like my favorite, Bustelo Cool (I’m definitely loving the hint of mocha in Cafe Mocha though!), and I love that this is just ready to go in the morning.
How else would I have been at my desk at 7:00 AM, ready to cover some fashion news?
