How to: Get Zoe Hart\’s Signature Smoky Eye

To get Zoe Hart’s signature smoky eye all you need is Cargo’s Essential Palette in Warm Neutral. Or use colors you may have to recreate the look as follows.

Step 1: Apply a shimmery copper shadow over the entire eye using sweeping strokes from the inner corner outward. 

Step 2: Apply a pale highlighting shade underneath the arch of your brows.

Step 3: With an angled brush sweet a dark, espresso colored shade onto the top and bottom lash lines. Create a triangle shape by extending the line to the outer corners and blending. 

Step 4: Complete the look with plenty of mascara and a pale pink lip gloss.

Black and White Cookies

If you watch Hart of Dixie you’ll know that Zoe Hart’s favorite cookie in the whole world is the black and white cookie from Zabars in New York City. I have never actually tried the cookie from Zabars, but when I was going through one of my mums cookbooks I found a copycat recipe and had to share it (especially with the Hart of Dixie fans). The cookie is a cake-like lemon cookie and perfect to eat while watching Zoe and Wade’s romance heat up. 
How To: Make Cake Flour
1 cup of all-purpose flour minus two tablespoons and two tablespoons of cornstarch added. Be sure to whisk together. Make more as needed 1 cup at a time.
Copycat Zabars Black and White Cookie
Ingredients
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup cake flour, not self-rising (I made my own- see below)
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup whole milk
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (I used 1 teaspoon)
• ½ teaspoon pure lemon extract (I used the zest of one lemon)
• 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup, plus more if needed
• 1 ½ ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted
Directions
1. Sift together flours, baking powder and salt; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until smooth. Add milk and whisk to combine. Whisk in melted butter and extracts (or zest). Add flour mixture and stir to form smooth dough.
3. Cover and chill for one hour (no less and no more)
4. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and drop dough by desired size. Baked until edges are light brown. I used a one-inch cookie scoop and baked for 7 minutes. Time will vary based on size so keep an eye on your first batch.
5. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.
6. When cool in a small bowl combine powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons whole milk and corn syrup. Whisk until smooth. Ice half of each cookie and return to rack to drip. Add chocolate to remaining icing, stirring until smooth. Add additional corn syrup to thin to desired consistency if needed. Spread chocolate icing over other half of cookie and allow to dry.

Ivanka Trump is kind of the Kate Middleton of the United States. She’s the girl we dream to be. Lavished in diamonds and all the best designers, but just because we can’t be her doesn’t mean we cannot take some pointers from Ivanka’s style. Her wardrobe is filled with neutral pieces paired with an accessory to make a statement, most often a pair of earrings. Recreate here \”it\” girl glow with these tips. What do you think about Ivanka is she one of your go-to “it” girl styles?

The week may have began on a scary note leaving me thankful note that my dad is such a top-notch driver, and was able to safely get us out of the dangerous snowsqualls that took over the expressway. While the week ended on an exciting note…. with Jack. This weekend I am at my parents working on some projects and recipes with my mum. What are you up to this weekend?
