First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR beauties! I was contemplating on what my first entry of the year should be, but since I haven’t gone anywhere too fancy (read: I’ve been in pajamas for the past 5 days) I haven’t had anything to photograph. So I figured I would share this ridiculous piece of fashion news with you:

Let’s have a serious discussion about people who are so rich that they can afford a $165 Jimmy Choo coffee sleeve.

Yeah. I’m serious:

This doesn’t actually make sense, does it? I mean, who is going to actually carry around a coffee sleeve to put around a disposable coffee cup? I know that I’m so used to chucking my cup away after the final sip, so I’m not sure I’d be able to hold on to this. Not that I can afford to spend $165 on what a piece of cardboard does for free, but anyway.

Let’s break it down: The whole washable-but-looks-like-it’s-disposable coffee cup made sense because it was environmentally friendly. Remember those? They saved trees and whatnot. This? Not so environmentally friendly. First, it’s made out of leather. Second, you still have to use a disposable cup. Third, IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE.

Fine, maybe it’s really cute and I wish that I were rich enough to be able to afford it/chic enough to make it look good/organized enough to not lose it right away. But at the end of the day, seriously, the piece of cardboard works fine.

Thoughts?

Oh, and of course…
