Hope everyone is having a great first two weeks back in school, and if you're not in school, hope you're having a great time at work! I'm super excited for cooler temperatures so I can start layering. Although I'm going to miss my shorts and tank tops, there's no reason that you can't make your summer clothes last well into the fall. The key is to layer. Say you wanted to wear shorts but its a bit chilly, throw on a pair of tights underneath. Still cold? Add leggings!

Don't forget to break out boots and a good leather jacket. Fall just doesn't seem complete without my wardrobe heading in a more dark and edgy direction. I'm currently looking for a new leather jacket that has a more edgy feel and hardware. Do you guys have any recommendations for a nice quality biker leather jacket? I'm currently in love with this one from Zara, but I'm a bit hesitant on shelling out $300.

Cheers,
Charlie

I've been baking lots of goodies lately. Here is my latest creation!

Peanut Butter Cookies (Gluten-Free)

Ingredients

1 cup of peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
1/2 of brown sugar or raw sugar
1 egg
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1/3 chia seeds (optional)
1/2 semi sweet chocolate chips (optional)
(And any other add ins such as raisins, flax seeds, more chocolate chips...)

Steps

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large mixing bowl blend the peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Fold in optional add-ins.
Roll into balls and place on a greased (or parchment paper lined) cookie sheet.
Bake for 13-15 minutes.



Stay Fabulous!

A cloudy overcast day always makes me feel tired and lazy. My mood was clearly reflected in my outfit where I went with comfort and aimed for effortless. My favourite piece at the moment is my beloved denim button up I picked up at Zara during their massive sale. I hadn't been a huge fan of the denim shirt trend, but once I put this one on, I was SOLD! They are the perfect layering piece and dresses any outfit down. Not as thick as a cardigan, it's perfect for the summer. It goes with everything! I bought it maybe two weeks ago? And I've already worn it over eight times! Yup, eight! (Don't worry, I've done laundry).

I heard that there are some pretty good DIYs out there for denim shirts. Link them to me in the comments if you find a good one!


Special thanks to Rachel for these lovely photos!
