Dress up your Hot Cocoa

… great for Holiday Parties! 

You can make your marshmallows from scratch by clicking here, but if you do not have time, go the easy way and melt your store bought marshmallows, I have 2 favorite brands. One is Sweet & Sara found here and the other is Dandies I find at Wegmans. Yes, they are cruelty-free/vegan, so I am biased, but I swear these kick regular marshmallow's tushy!

Directions:

1. Put marshmallows in a large bowl, add 2 tablespoons of water per bag and melt for 45 seconds, stir, then melt again until it becomes lump free.

2. Dust glass/metal pan with confectioner's sugar, and pour melted marshmallows into pan.

3. Sprinkles top with confectioner's sugar.

4. Let set over night to until dry.

5. Using fun cookie cutters, get creative an cut out some shapes!

Display these next to the hot cocoa ( my fav recipe is found here) for some extra holiday cuteness!

Dolly Pearl Bridalwear

We couldn't wait to introduce you to the amazing dresses and bridal gowns by Dolly Pearl! Dolly Pearl designer Vi Hoang began her design career with a Fine Arts degree from the University of Houston and after several years of experience in interior and graphic design, she won a Corelle sponsored design contest. She moved from Texas where she was born and raised to New York City to pursue her lifelong dream of a career in fashion design. She studied fashion at FIT and started her own womenswear line called Dolly Pearl, an homage to her Southern roots and a nod to her admiration for country icon Dolly Parton. In September, 2010, Hoang won the Daily Candy "Start Small, Go Big" contest for fashion and she continues to expand her Dolly Pearl womenswear line.

“When I started my line, I really just wanted to create beautiful pieces that were unique, architectural and easy to wear. Keeping in mind that women of all sizes wanted to look beautiful, yet feel comfortable, I started building a line revolving around that,” says Vi.

We love so many of Dolly Pearl's charming, feminine styles. Ruffles and bows are key components in the collection and we've included a few of our favorite bridal and bridesmaid looks below.
