Target Clearance Find: Sunbeam Donut Maker

I was walking the aisles of Target last weekend just for fun and ran across something I would never normally purchase.  That tiny red clearance sticker caught my eye and I had to stop.  A donut maker!  Look, I don't need donuts in the house.  I have zero self control and love donuts.  As a matter of fact, it's become kind of a recent thing for Rick to stop at Dunkin Donuts every Friday morning and pick me up a double chocolate donut. It's a really bad habit, but I love that donut!  So anywho, I saw this and couldn't resist.

Marked down to $8.98, originally at $29.99, I thought "why not?".  So I bought it thinking if nothing else, Addie and I will play with it once or twice a year and it'll be worth the $9 sticker price.  The donut maker comes with a recipe book and we had everything we needed to make a batch of donuts and icing.  So Sunday morning, after Addie woke up we got to making our donuts!

They came out really well and taste pretty good for being homemade donuts.  The chocolate icing is spot on to a bakery's chocolate icing so I need to perfect the chocolate donut to make my favorite double chocolate!

Clearly Addie thought it was "Delicious"!

Do you have any of these cheesy do it yourself maker type products?

Bib Necklace Look

I finally received my bubble necklace in the mail and I love it.  I'm finding ways to wear it with every outfit.  So this morning I couldn't pass it up, especially with my raspberry colored shirt.  The color combination looks great together.  I cut off my pants in this picture but they're plain black work pants and I'm wearing my black pumps.  You get the idea.

Raspberry Sleeveless Top
Gray Cardigan - similar
Black pants - similar
Rampage black pumps
Accesories - bubble necklace (similar), Citizen watch, cord bracelet (similar)

The great thing about this is you could swap out the dress pants for skinny jeans and you have your out on the town look.
