Starbucks - Matte Pink Studded Tumbler

I probably say this every time, but I swear I was not planning on buying anything from the spring Starbucks cup collection... and then I came across this pink studded tumbler! Technically it's supposed to be out in stores later this month but I had seen it online recently so I knew what it was going to look like. However, in person it's a super cute matte pink color and I liked it a lot more than when I had seen photos of it.  It's also very tall, so it's perfect for my goal of drinking more water during the day, haha.  Be sure to keep an eye out at Starbucks and licensed Starbucks locations (Target which is where I found it, grocery stores, etc.) if you're interested in snagging one - you might get lucky like me and see it early!

Starbucks Target - New Collection

I came across these new mugs and tumblers at a Target Starbucks recently, and they are all so cute!  I especially love the ones for the Year of the Rat - Starbucks usually has cute designs like this for non-US stores, so it was a fun surprise to see these.  

And of course I had to get the Valentine's Day version of the glass handle mug, with tiny little heart "sprinkles" inside the handle - too cute! Be sure to check out both standalone Starbucks and in-store Starbucks locations as they have different designs available!

Starbucks - Pumpkin Spice Madeleines

While it's still technically summer, September to me always feels like the start of fall because of all the fun fall goodies that start to come out.  I saw these Pumpkin Spice Madeleines at Starbucks and had to try them out. 

Even though I didn't get an overwhelming pumpkin spice taste from these, just a nice hint of spice in each bite.  If you like trying pumpkin items I would definitely recommend giving these a try while they're available.  The little cakes are the perfect snack with coffee or tea!
