I'm a CityGirl (think Carrie Bradshaw without the Minolos!) I love fashion, make-up, Vogue, and dresses. However, I'm not an airhead. I speak 5 languages & love literature. I am in love with France and I like nothing more than a hot choc in Starbucks.

Don't you hate it when it gets to winter time and you find that Christmas has crept up on you yet again this year? It seems to start earlier each year! You always seem to find yourself cold, stressed, laden with bags and frequenting large queues outside department stores and you just feel like screaming "Bahhh Humbug!' to anyone who's near you.
Well I have eventually found the ideal cure to what I call 'The Christmas Crisis'. When you just want to give up and go home and think 'oh forget that last present, i'll get him some socks instead'. Instead of abandoning ship and sludging home in your winter boots deflated and stressed, I urge you to find a Starbucks! There is truly nothing more satisfying than collapsing into one of their cosy leather couches with a caramel latter and a 'too-good-to-be-allowed' piece of cake. I guarantee you, you will feel a million times better and have the energy to battle back into those queues with a new determination and a milk froth moustache!
Unless of course you choose the busiest Starbucks and end up queueing for that as well! But if that happens, God just is not on your side and you probably shouldn't have bothered trying to Christmas shop at all!
Last Christmas me and my friend spent about 3 hours in Starbucks, latte after latte, smoothie after smoothie, chatting away and eating almost everything they had. We'd been shopping for about an hour and we were pretty much ready to go home before we'd even bought any presents. Until, we saw that inviting green Starbucks logo, and the smell of fresh coffee lured us in for a cheeky break. And ohhh boy, were we glad we did! By the time we left we were in very high spirits (probably from too much caffene..) and absolutely battled our way through and got every single gift! Some say it's a miracle, I call it Starbucks.
I thank God for Starbucks, my knight with steaming latte!
