Sometimes we all need to eat something so decadent that you gain weight by just looking at it. Cinnamon rolls are my first choice of instantaneous weight gain food. There is something so comforting about those warm, fluffy rolls drenched in icing. You can clearly see that I do not delicately drizzle the icing.
After making this recipe, I'll never use another! There are so many cinnamon roll recipes out there with cream cheese...

Orange
Remember this? I have been wearing Kayla's necklace all the time! It has just never been photographed. I'm not sure why. This delicate necklace has tons of personality.
As for this color, I think that I can learn to love orange. Most of my clothes are neutral. This was "out there" for me. Yes, I'm adventurous! Anyhow, the cardigan tones down the color quite a bit.
These loafers deserve love!...

Scarves Here, Scarves There, Scarves Everywhere!
Spring is coming! I love to wear scarves in the spring when I don't necessarily need them, but dislike them in the winter. Necessities are never as fun as frivolities. Still, spring scarves are not so bulky and chunky. They are usually more delicate.
Anyhow, I've been seeing adorable scarves everywhere! I've gathered up some of my favorites. The first two even have versions that won't break...

Lilly in Watercolor
All around there are trees ready for their first green leaves to unfold. Flowers prepared to bloom. Grass all set to be rid of their brown and yellow blades.
I would readily agree to join those plants in their eagerness for spring. I'm more than happy to trade winter in for sunshine and warmth! Sadly, there's still two months left of bleakness. I needed a way to usher in spring early.
There's nothing that I associate with spring...

Friday Tidbits
It is finally Friday! I've had a miserable long week. Let's just get to the catch.
1. I am obsessed with rain boots! We have just moved to Virginia at the start of this school year from Texas. Rain was not exactly a problem in Texas. It's a whole different story here. More recently, it has been raining often. Too often. I shudder to think of the spring. The rain might bring gray skies and dreariness, but I'm absolutely...

Personalized Mug with Sharpies!
I have been seeing these adorable personalized mugs all over Pinterest. When I signed up for Caroline and Alissa's Valentine's Day swap that was mug themed, I knew that I had to try this!

First, the perfect mug had to be found. Thank you Target! This one was my favorite, because I adore the feminine details. The scalloped edge, rounded shape, and the handle are the things that make this mug special.

V-Day Mug Swap
I signed up for Caroline and Alissa's Valentine Swap that was mug themed. It was my first, and I'm so glad that I did. I was paired with the lovely Kayla from Love Sparkle Pretty! We contacted each other through e-mail; I enjoyed getting to know her. She is amazing, seriously. Check out her adorable shop here.
The box arrived!
She sent me an owl mug, a precious necklace from her shop, a card, and...

One Dress: Three Ways Valentines Edition
Do you have nothing to wear yet again? Or at least nothing you like? Try using different accessories and such. This will grant some of your old favorites new life! A simple dress is best for this. I chose a blush pink dress with a sweetheart neckline and a flared skirt in honor of Valentines Day.
This look is the most simplistic. It incorporates a few basic accessories that can be changed up each time. Variation is still easy.

Cream Puffs
If any food deserves the glamour shot, it is the cream puff. Each one is unique with its own "markings". I would have never stopped shooting more photos if they weren't calling me. There is not enough will power in a person to resist these delicate pastries.
You definitely won't regret taking the effort to make these gorgeous cream puffs! Each bite melts in your mouth, as you admire the puffs. Not too sweet, not too dense. Don't...

All American
It's finally Wednesday! Let's just say I've had a long week. I am super excited to be participating in The Pleated Poppy's What I Wore Wednesday for the first time. Anyhow, my photographer (a.k.a my sister) was out of commission. That explains these photos.
I have been looking forward to wearing this adorable button down embroidered with red dachshunds. During the winter, I normally wear button downs under sweaters,...

Winter Wonderland
The experience of watching snow fall is mesmerizing. Delicate flake after flake dances gracefully down. As everything becomes blanketed by the pure snow, you attempt to capture the mental image of an immaculate world. Snow crunches under your feet. A wisp of hair blows astray. Inhale the crisp air. If only for a moment, everything is unblemished. Take it all in. After all, the sun won't wait.

Thomas Keller Oreos
In the month to diet, I choose to make oreos; not just any, but the incredibly rich, chocolatey TKOs. Rebel! C'mon now, no one is perfect. We all need a splurge sometimes. Why not on oreos?
Thomas Keller's version from his bakery, Bouchon Bakery, features the rich chocolate flavor. Salty cookies are bound together by a delicious whipped ganache. It doesn't sound too appealing; however,...
