WHAT WE WEAR: ANTHROPOLOGIE SPRING FAVES

We are so excited to show you guys a few more pictures from our shoot with Kat Marcum! We loved all of her ideas and couldn't wait to take some pics on this giant staircase! There may or may not have been a wedding ceremony happening in the building at the top of the stairs so we did some quick poses (and gave a few late attendees directions) before the Bride and Groom emerged from behind the double doors!

For these outfits we wanted to showcase some of our favorite spring items from Anthropologie, not to mention THE cutest french bulldog tote!

WHAT WE WEAR: BRIGHT FLORAL PRINTS

We recently learned that store-bought helium balloons have a short life span so after our friend Leah's shower we thought the best way to get the most out of them was to have a little spring time photo shoot! 

My favorite part was that it was so beautiful outside and finally warm enough to wear something other than a sweater! If there is one thing we aren't afraid of it's bright colors and big prints so we brought them out at the first opportunity. These fun floral dresses were the perfect kick-off to a much needed spring.

Biggest regret of the day? Not singing the helium versions of our favorite songs.

WHAT WE EAT: CHOCOLATE SPRINKLE DONUTS

Happy Donut Day!!

For our second donut we wanted to do something fun and tasty so we chose a baked chocolate donut heavy on the sprinkles.

INGREDIENTS:

For the donuts:

1 cup flour

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/3 cup sprinkles

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg

6 tablespoons sour cream

1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup vegetable oil

For the glaze:

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

6 tablespoons whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

Recipe adapted from Buns In My Oven

Donuts:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 6-donut pan. Gather all dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda and cocoa) and mix together in medium bowl. In a second bowl combine eggs, sour cream, milk, oil, and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until combined. Fold in sprinkles. Spoon into your donut pan and bake 8 minutes or until the tops spring back. Remove from pan and cool on rack completely before dipping in the glaze.

Glaze:

Heat the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla in a small saucepan over low heat until fully combined. Once donuts have cooled, dip in the glaze and then top with sprinkles of your choice.

Tip: Instead of shaking the sprinkles on top we dipped our donuts in sprinkles right after the glaze to get complete coverage.

We hope you have as much fun making these as we did!

Happy Baking!
