strawberry lemon bundt cake

I made this amazing strawberry, lemon, and yogurt bundt cake for my family for Easter (recipe here). This cake is perfect for a party because it looks beautiful and is so delicious. It was such a big hit, I can't wait to make it again. If you haven't made a bundt cake before, be sure to really butter and flour your pan before pouring the batter in. It makes a huge difference! I have ruined many a bundt cake by thinking I could get away with just buttering the pan.

woven

Shoes are my Achilles heel (as they probably are for most women out there). I am constantly falling in love with a perfect pair. I say "a" because my closet is already filled with many, many, other perfect pairs; I don't want to limit myself to having only ONE perfect pair. It's a shame that, as my dad likes to remind me, I can only wear one pair of shoes at a time. My latest obsession are these woven smoking slippers from Coach. They look effortless, and in these lovely golden and neutral tones, they would go with just about everything. Not-so-patiently waiting for a good sale...

april freezing showers

April showers bring May flowers, but what about freezing showers? I'm pretty sure those kill May flowers. Lately we have been experiencing sleet, hail, and yes, even a little snow around these parts, and I'm beyond tired of it. Where are the sunny spring temperatures? I miss being able to be outside! The forecast shows no end in sight, so for right now, I'll appease myself with shopping for some chilly-spring-appropriate garb.
