Spring Forward

March 13, 20122 Comments

I was going through my closet and found one of my favorite spring dresses- I can’t wait to wear it again. It was bought for my bridal shower last year in June from a local boutique. It’s the perfect balance of girly & trendy. My mom’s dress is pretty cute too, I may have to borrow it this season! 🙂

Every year around St. Patty’s day I make my famous Pistachio cake. It’s also perfect for Easter! It is so easy & festive and the moist, pistachio flavor is incredible. The recipe can be found from last year’s post: https://candystilettos.com/2011/03/15/pistachio-cupcakes/
