Hey everyone! It's Taylor from CoverGirl + Converse, and I'm ecstatic about the opportunity to guest post for Friday's Fashion Finds on one of my favorite blogs. ;)

For this post, I thought I'd share with you some inspiration from one of my favorite celebrities, Lily Collins, and then put together an outfit inspired by her style. Take a look!

Lily's style is the epitome of classy, and I absolutely adore it! I love how everything she wears is consistent with this preppy look. Below is an outfit inspired by her pretty style!

Ingredients

Cookies:
• 1 cup butter, room temperature
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• approx 1/3 cup extra sugar for rolling
Filling:
• 1 cup butter, room temperature
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter, room temperature
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons milk

How to Make

Cookies:
1. In a large bowl with mixer beat butter, peanut butter, and sugars until light and fluffy, about 30 seconds on medium-high speed. Lower mixer to medium and add eggs and vanilla continuing to mix until combined. Turn mixer to low and add in flour, baking soda and baking powder. Mix until combined. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
2. Preheat oven to 375°
3. Form chilled dough first into 1 inch balls and then form into a log shape. Roll the log-shaped dough in extra granulated sugar and place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Using a fork press down on cookie creating a criss-cross pattern. Pinch the center to create the peanut shape.
4. Bake for 6-8 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on baking sheet 2-3 minutes and then transfer to wire rack to continue cooling.
Filling:
5. In a large bowl beat butter and peanut butter together until smooth. Slowly add in your powdered sugar and turn mixer speed up to medium and beat until filling is smooth. Add your milk, one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
6. Spread a heaping tablespoon of filling onto the bottom of one of the peanut butter cookies and then top with another cookie to create sandwich.

Don't Quit

Hello all! Hope you are having a great Tuesday! We all have problems, there's no denying it. One problem I have been trying to work on in my life is not giving up so easily. When I run long distances and there's lots of hills, there's always this little voice in my head telling me to slow down and walk. But I know deep down, I really can do it. So, I say back to that little voice "Nope." I think we all have to do that every once in a while when we want to give up on a dream we want to pursue or a goal we want to reach. Its really easy to give up soon. But you don't get the results you want. Here are a few circumstances where other people, who you just might know of, said "Nope." to that discouraging voice and kept going! 

Deliciousness!

Hello all! Hope you are having a super-amazing Saturday! Well, I want to apologize in advance if you are on a diet because this recipe for today ain't gonna help! :) Nevertheless...it looks sooo good! Let me know what you think about this recipe!
