Swamp witch

I'm still recuperating from a whirlwind of a weekend that involved playing a show in Montreal (Audrey Cantwell's Tarantula Sisters zine launch no less - I picked up some copies while I was there and they'll be at Dal tomorrow. I've only got 5 though, so come snatch them up before they're gone!).

I also hit up a pal's cottage the next day and got to swim in a beautiful lake, whittle a stick for s'more-y marshmallow stabbings, and caught a ride in a canoe. It was exactly what I needed
- a couple of days where your only worry is the horrible feeling of seaweed rubbing up against your legs (ughhhhhhhh) and giant underwear lake monsters.

After a weekend like that, however, it sure does feel nice to play dress up. Despite my gnarly knees (right one from an epic battle with a lake rock, the other from bashing into my drumkit one too many times) I am grateful for designers like Eve Gravel that help remind me that looking like a fancy little lady can be just as effortless as my plaid and cutoff cottage wear.

Eve Gravel Lou Doyon dress - $210

It works super well with our Dolce Vita booties $149
more cottage evidence: the cute little friendship anklet my pal Liz made me!


Ps. I leave you with this picture I snapped at the cottage of the lovely Ula wearing her Cinder & Smoke shirt.
She made everyone the best waffles for breakfast that I'm still thinking about. Swoon.
