Today’s Here’s to you… award goes to a company that I probably should have recognized awhile ago: Starbucks. In the past month Starbucks has:

• Given me a free drink for waiting “too long” for my drink. I actually had not even realized it had been longer than usual, but am thrilled they thought so 🙂
• Brought my first feelings of holiday cheer when they released their holiday cups (and seasonal cranberry bliss bars! mmmm)

• Let me play a game online to win a 4 pack of Starbucks Via…which I forgot about until today when it came in the mail!
• Had an awesome buy one get one free promotion for holiday drinks which I took advantage of…twice.
• Created a great holiday commercial:

The creativity of their marketing, sensitivity of their customer service, and deliciousness of their drinks keep me coming back probably more often than I should. Here’s to you…Starbucks.

Here’s to you… September 27, 2010

This past weekend I went shopping with my good friend Sally. We went to the staples: Ann Taylor Loft, JCrew, Banana Republic, and White House Black Market. Near the end of the day we realized we hadn’t satisfied our shoe shopping quota and stopped into shoe mecca: DSW. Though I love all the stores listed above, this “Here’s to you…” post is for a specific shoe brand….

Approximately 90% of the shoes we oo’ed, awe’d, and made us wish we had more spending money, were a brand we had never heard of: Kelly & Katie. They all happened to be incredibly well priced, too. Below are some of our favorite Kelly & Katie shoes at DSW.

I also have to thank DSW for giving me $5 off for my birthday even though it was OVER a month ago. Shop for your Kelly & Katie shoes here!
