Happy Monday!
Here’s a recap of a few of outfits I have worn recently that I have published over on Instagram but haven’t made it here on the blog.

This dress is under $60 and comes in multiple colors. I have been wearing it on repeat.

Last but not least, I shared a pic of these yummy fresh strawberry cupcakes I made for Easter lunch with friends yesterday. I received several requests to share the recipe, so here it is! These are easy and delish! The orginial recipe was for a cake, but I adapted it to cupcakes to make them more kid-friendly.

Fresh Strawberry Cupcakes

ingredients ::

1 3oz. package strawberry gelotin

1/2 cup cold water

1 {18.25 oz.} package white cake mix

4 eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

3 tablespoons white all-purpose flour

1 cartain fresh strawberrys, mashed {Use the juice in recipe, too. Can also use a 10z package of frozen strawberries.}

6 tablespoons butter, at room tempature

2 cups confectioners sugar {I had to add more to thicken the consistancy of the frosting.}

directions ::

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F {165 degrees C}. Fill 24 muffin tins with paper/tin cups.

2. In a large bowl, dissolve the gelatin in cold water; stir in cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, flour, and 1/2 of the mashed strawberries. Beat for 5 minutes on the medium speed of an electric mixer. Divide the batter evenly between cupcake tins.

3. Bake for 15-20 minutes, checking frequently. Cupcakes should spring back when lightly pressed in the center.

4. To make frosting :: Cream the butter, sugar and the remaining half of strawberries in a medium bowl until light and fluffy, adding additional confectioners’ sugar if needed for a spreadable consistancy. Spread the frosting over cooled cupcakes, and add a decorative garnish, if desired. {I used mini Cadbery eggs, as pictured.}

Stylishly yours,
