Coffee To-Go: The New It Accessory?

Coffee To-Go: The New It Accessory?

If you know me at all, you know that I do a lot of crazy sh*t for a good instagram picture. I’ll wait to find the right backdrop to take a #OOTD, stand in crazy spots to get just the right amount of light or not eat a meal as it comes to the table so that I can reorganize the plates to take an overview shot (refraining from eating food is by far the hardest/craziest part). However, I have yet to master my newest discovery: The “coffee-on-the-go” look. 

From celebs being caught by paps with their Skinny Vanilla Lattes or their Chai Teas, to Instagrammers posing with their Green Tea Frappuchinos, the Coffee-To-go has become the new “It-Accesory”. We see it all over Instagram. On breakfast tables, in #OOTD pictures, in selfies and even shots of just the coffee/tea. 

I am a huge caffeine hound, so I get how your coffee can be your partner in crime when it comes to a cute picture, but in the last 6 months, I’ve seen a crazy amount of people posing with their energy-boosters. Starbucks has definitely benefited form this phenomenon. It is by FAR the most sought to to-go cup. I mean, if you think about it, these girls and guys could just have a whole stack of starbucks cups in their kitchen they fill up with water just for a cute picture in the AM. Its like this green mermaid is the new LV or DKNY we pay so much for to have plastered all over our clothes. Just a symbol. Just an image. But coffee-to-go is the new bestie to our fashion bloggers. 

I am guilty of many Instagram clichés, but when I get coffee, I get it as a response to my addiction (which I’m in battle with) and love affaire with caffeine. I think adding a coffee-to-go to my Instagram shots will eventually happen, but for the right reasons: The only natural next step in a relationship --> going public. Coffee, I love you.
