Delicious Doughnuts

My tiny appreciation for the doughnut, which pretty much begins and ends with the chocolate timbit, is probably because there are so many more interesting and prettier pastries around. However, when I saw this post, and the phrases "foolproof" and "melt in your mouth" in the title, I was definitely intrigued. I decided to make them and found that not only are these the easiest things to make, but when eaten warm, they really do melt in your mouth! I am so glad I stopped to read how simple these heavenly, buttery, sugary nuts of dough really are! Read the original post, or my 4 effortless steps below, and find yourself amazed!!

Ingredients

• 1 package of canned biscuits (I used Pillsbury Grands-not the flaky ones)
• Enough oil to cover your skillet
• Butter
• Sugar
• Cinnamon 

Instructions

1. Separate Grands, and using a water bottle lid cut out the doughnut holes 
2. Heat oil on medium, and place doughnuts and holes in oil until golden 
3. Remove and dip both sides in melted butter
4. Mix sugar and cinnamon together and coat both sides of doughnuts

They probably took all of 10 minutes to prepare and make, and you can pretty much dip, sprinkle or dunk them any which way. Maple nut? Chocolate glaze? Rainbow sprinkle? Go for it. 

Falling for Fall

This summer felt like the shortest one yet,  and even though it is still technically summer for another two weeks I am finding myself already embracing fall fashion choices. It's clear to note that I have become addicted to this dark shade of red that is bouncing around everywhere. Whatever you label it- ox blood, burgundy or pomegranate- I'm hooked.  Below I have rounded up some of my most wanted pieces for fall, which happen to be a drastic change from the floral print dresses and pastel pieces that have taken over my spring and summer wardrobe.

1. Talula- Los Feliz Pant: Let the colour craze begin! But seriously, this trouser in any colour is a necessity for fall. 

2. Madewell- Camden Tote:  Fall and big black bags go hand in hand. This is the perfect carry-all, has a great structured shape and has an over the shoulder strap for versatility. 

3. Wilfred- Capucine T-Shirt: This is actually the softest most comfortable tee! Works with just about anything, and has a great detailed side seam. 

4. Wilfred- Freja Blouse: To add a touch of femininity to your fall look.   

5. Vince- Nina D'Orsay Flat: Obsessed with the suede and minimalist vibe from this flat. 

6. Smart Set- Scoop Neck Striped Dress: Perfect transition into fall dress. Style as is, or add tights and moto jacket when the cooler weather hits. 

7. Babaton- Reid Blouse: Continue with the colour blocking for fall, also has the most perfect back V-neckline. 

8. Wilfred Free- Dree Hoodie: Love how the mix of faux-leather panelling works with the soft cotton sweater. 

9. Aldo- Barrois: I have never been able to find an ankle boot that doesn't make me look like I should be in classic Western. Until this bootie. 

10. Madewell- Sweatshirt Dress: The perfect layering piece of fall. I'm seeing ox blood, opaque tights underneath and a moto jacket on top for a great feminine/rocker chic look.
11. Madewell- Skinny Skinny Jeans: Another fall essential. 
12. Talula- Plametto Dress: Ready to embrace fall colours but not fall temperatures? This dress too!

Dresser Update

I finally realized I had a problem around the third week of starting my summer internship. I would wake up and by the time I had chosen an outfit, I could not find any of the jewellery I wanted to wear. The top of my dresser had become a catch-all for anything and everything that I threw off and on in my hurried state of leaving the house. I purchased this format tray at CB2, and it has since prompted me to keep my dresser top as organized as possible. Although my jewellery box still does hold a variety of unused items, I like how I have my favourite bracelets, rings and dainty necklaces in separated compartments. I also made room to display my favourite summer perfumes.  On the other side of the dresser I keep my nail polish jar, and above I have a mini gallery wall (with this DIY boho frame). I won't bother showing a before picture as it was too scary of a sight, but you can check out some details below!
