Ah, coffee. Not only does it taste heavenly and — the obvious — wake you up, but for me, it’s an absolute must if I’m expected to have a positive, creativity-filled day. After living in Paris this summer (un cafe au lait, s’il vous plait), I seem to have found myself joining the ranks of the millions of other coffee addicts out there, and I don’t see myself going back any time soon… though I could quit if I wanted to, I swear! So it goes without saying that I’m starting off this Monday with a creamy, steaming cup of joe or two (with maybe a bit more sugar than I care to admit) and this freshly-brewed inspiration board. Here’s hoping you get a little boost of energy out of it as well!

Great post Jessi! The morning cup of coffee is so important…and many times a requirement! Give me a white chocolate mocha and I’m good to go. Love the inspiration board!

black, baby
I share your love of coffee, Jess, and having a cup at a Parisian sidewalk cafe sounds like heaven. My favorite blend at the moment is Dark Sumatra freshly ground at Anderson’s Coffee (in business here in Austin since the 70s!), and I love to mix in a half teaspoon or so of raw sugar and a good splash of half and half.
lovely inspiration! and i’m so envious that you lived in paris over the summer…what a dream! oh and by the way, the new blog layout news AMAZING camille 🙂
oh these pictures are beautiful! I take my coffee with foamed milk and splenda!!!
Love the photos … and love my coffee! Warmed skim milk (microwaved so that the milk won’t make coffee cold) and fresh brewed coffee. It’s a must first thing every morning!

We have not one but two things in common, Jessi–an affinity (I prefer this word over addiction!) for coffee and a summer spent à Paris. I’ll admit, I missed my coffee in the rocks while in Europe, so I’m more than glad to be back in Austin where Bennu’s Blennu is served around the clock (literally), Seventh Flag serves as my South 1st inspiration station or a Belgian Bomber from Jo’s will do me just right.

Ok so I like cold coffee. Not frapped, or over ice, just French Press coffee which has been chilled in the fridge with a splash of cold milk. No sugar. It’s weird but that’s the only way I drink it in summer! Pls give us more food-inspired moodboards!
Coffee Coffee Coffee! Love it! I make black coffee and put a teaspoon of cinnamon hot cocoa mix in it;) yum!
