Let's Talk: Sarah Childress Polk

When Sarah was growing up, Andrew Jackson called her "wealthy, pretty, ambitious, and intelligent." She assisted her husband with his speeches, gave him advice on policy and was active in his campaigns. Sarah hosted the first Thanksgiving dinner at the White House. I personally love her curly hair:

I have my life back!!!

Hello all! I hope you have liked the past few posts, today I finished my extended essay and I feel like I can finally get back to my life now! The past week has been late night computer sittings, chocolate milk, and a playlist of two songs. I thought I would share them with you! I'll be in Pittsburg this weekend-xoxo HP.




Looking Forward to Pittsburg


So this weekend I am off to Pennsylvania for many reasons. Some of which include that it's the anniversary of Gettysburg this year,  I need to visit the capitol, and of course, FSU is playing Pitt on labor day. It will be a lovely long weekend and I am sure the weather will be fantastic! The photos will be up next week, as well as a guide-xoxo HP.

Labor Day

Everyone knows the rule "no white after labor day," so here is how to make that last weekend worth it all. This dress (it's Calvin Klein) is way too nice to be dressed down with Target espadrilles and a jean jacket, but it is, because why? Because you can. Go out there and wear your amazingly white outfit because in a few short days, such an outfit will be a fashion faux pas.

Chocolate High Cupcakes

For my first batch of cupcakes, I went with a classic, chocolate. But these are not your ordinary chocolate cupcakes, they are CHOCOLATE!!! You can find my recipe for chocolate cake here, or use boxed cake mix.

















Icing:
-2 sticks butter
-16 oz powder sugar
-1/8 teaspoon salt
-1/3 cup cream

One Pair, Three Ways

Do you know anyone that owns poison green Doc Martins? Because I am the only crazy person on the planet to purchase such a pair. I was in Ireland and everyone was wearing them so I thought "what the heck, let's do it!" Probably a bad idea...oh well, I can still wear them for spirit days. Here are three ways to wear them:
{Zara top, UO jeans}
{Tulane top, AE jean shorts}
{Jacket (gifted), Target top, Madwell jeans}
