For girls who are still obsessed with Disney princesses -- and Ariel from The Little Mermaid in particular -- you should order an inspired Starbucks mug off Etsy immediately. Available from the online shop of AubsAndN, the Disneyfied design is a play on the iconic dark green Starbucks logo, but instead of toting the name of the ubiquitous coffee chain, it reads 'Disney Princess.' The Starbucks mermaid has also been replaced with a black and white version of Ariel. Although, without the flowing red mane, she is harder to place.
The feminine logo is available on two styles of coffee cups: a Starbucks mug and tumbler. Either way they make the perfect present for the Disney or mermaid-obsessed, not to mention Starbucks fans or caffeine addicts.
