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?

Let\’s go shopping: 1/2/3/4/5 

I’m the type of girl that still dots the “I” in her name with a heart. So you can imagine how excited I am when Valentine’s Day approaches and there are tons of heart items (and pink too!) in the store. Here you will find a few of my current favorite heart items from Tibi to Tiffany.

Zehnders Rosettes

Frankenmuth, is Michigan’s little Bavaria. It’s a place of horse-drawn carriages, covered bridges, riverboat cruises, and world famous chicken. While you can dine upstairs in Zehnders enjoying their world famous chicken, you don’t want to miss out on visiting downstairs for one of my favorite treats…Rosettes. Rosettes are a delicate crisp and tender pastry.
 
 

Zehnder’s Rosettes
Ingredients
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour (measure, then sift)
1 cup whole milk (they will not turn out with any other milk)

Directions
1. Add salt, sugar and vanilla to eggs.
2. Add ½ cup milk and all of the flour. Then add remaining ½ cup milk, stirring (do not beat).
3. If foamy, let set. Place oil and mold in fryer and heat to 385 degrees (keep hot during entire process)
4. Shake excess oil off iron and touch iron on paper towel to absorb oil.
5. Dip hot iron into batter, almost to the top, but not over the top of iron.
6. Tilt to side when removing from batter to avoid drips.
7. Place in hot oil. When rosette holds its shape remove the iron and allow to brown, then turn over to brown opposite side.
8. Remove from oil and drain on paper towel covered newspaper.

How To: Buy Flowers on a Budget

{Tulips in season: $6}

No matter what the time of year is you don’t have to spend a lot in order to have beautiful, fresh flowers around the house. Think beyond the elaborate bouquets and instead purchase one type of flower that is in season (I just bought a dozen tulips for six dollars), or buy something such as carnations that typically sell for about five dollars a dozen year round. When flowers are bunched together tightly and placed into a small vase the outcome is chic and stylish.

{Pink carnations: $4}
