Weekend Scenes

Yesterday was my last Sigma Kappa formal. It was bittersweet and an absolute blast. Corals, bright hues and nude heels seemed to be a trend this year :) These will be the days I miss most about college! 

Coffee table beauties

The key to a great coffee table is not necessarily the table itself, but how you decorate it. Books, flowers, coasters, candles, and small dishes can all be used to make your coffee table magazine worthy.

Spring in Your Step

Michigan's weather is so unpredictable..just the other day we had snow flurries, but today it's finally feeling like spring! What better way to bring on the season than a frozen treat covered in rainbow sprinkles (must be rainbow!), glossy Hunter wellies, Deborah Lippman nail polish in 'Candy Shop', a bright Kate Spade watch (seriously lusting after this item), a raspberry mint mojito, and a comfy fluttered hem Tee from Anthropologie. Happy spring everyone!  

Weekend Scenes

 A new milk frother- perfect for homemade lattes :) Definitely a great investment purchase

 Window shopping. Lusting after these bracelets. Perfect for a graduation gift (hint hint...) 

It's beginning to look a lot like spring! We had clear blue skies all weekend. 

Little bunnies. They taste better after being refrigerated for a while. Easy to make- pretzels, Hershey kisses & pastel M&M's. 

Lucy's Lemon Bars

I recently made an old favorite- 'Lucy's Lemon Bars' from the Peanuts Cook Book. My mom and aunt use to bake from this same book as a kid. Such an easy recipe and always a crowd favorite! 

Easter Brunch

Easter brunch inspiration. 


Here are some table settings I found perfect for Easter brunch. I'm loving these adorable centerpieces...particularly the tiny succulents! 

Cake Pops

Cake Pops!

The other day I attempted to make cake pops. They turned out better than I had anticipated, but were quite a production to make! They are absolutely delicious, but I should warn you they are highly addictive. The combinations of cake batter, sprinkles and frosting are endless and perfect for any occasion! 

how to make: 

º bake a simple cake (from the box- I used Pillsbury Spring Funfetti) 

º once the cake completely cools crumble the cake into a large bowl & mix in 1 can of frosting 

º roll cake & frosting mixture into small balls (this is the tricky part so stay patient!)

º place cake balls onto baking sheet with clear plastic wrap over them and refrigerate for several hours or even overnight

º using lollipop sticks (found at a craft store in the baking section) insert into cake balls and dip into melted chocolate ( you don't necessarily need to dip pops into chocolate- the sprinkles seemed to stick to the cake itself just fine.) 

º immediately sprinkle on topping before chocolate cools (I used colorful sprinkles, and mini chocolate chips) 

º stick the cake pops into a styrofoam block (also found at craft store) so the pops don't lose their shape. 

º once the chocolate cools I suggest packaging the pops into individual clear cello bags and tying ribbon to close the bags (as an alternative you could use decorative stickers)
