Hello again.

Sorry world

Love Aesthetics

Hello world, I big apology for the lack of communication and inspiration. To be honest it has been one crazy summer of hot hot heat, pool hopping, and lazing in the parc without a care. This week it currently dropped from 30 to 13 degrees and reminded me that summer is fading fast.

I also am disappointed because Fall means Fall wear, and although I love chunky knits and jeans (there is no way in hell you could get me into any of these this summer it was SO humid), I am also going to miss pastels and white. So long, farewell, auf weidersehen, GOODBYE. 

Anyway, these are a couple videos that really caught my attention. Check them out, and more to come soon!

for the boys

"Four Horsemen Shop is proud to present the works of local artist Lukas Behrndt. Lukas has created a series of original paintings inspired by the approaching Fall season and the shop's exciting line up of brands. By reinterpreting the imagery of lines such as A.P.C., Dana Lee and Our Legacy in the context of his unique style, Lukas has succeeded in producing a striking visual presentation and a fresh entry into the lookbook genre. We will be releasing further details shortly, including a confirmed date for opening night." -via Four Horsemen

I have been meaning to share this video for a while due to it's sheer greatness.

There's nothing I appreciate more than people doing cool shit, and when

those people are your friends it's even cooler. The Four Horsemen shop, recently

dubbed one of the top 20 best men's stores in Canada by Sharp Magazine, and Lukas Behrndt's phenomenal art are really putting YYJ on the map.

Since recently coming across the track 'Aube' by the French/English musical duo Appaloosa,

I have fallen for their minimal but haunting and alluring sound. See for yourself.

Have not posted in a long time - my apologies, as summer starts my time on

the internet decreases significantly. This is what has been up  me:

- 30 Degree weather and playing in the park until dark

- Working all the time pays off to a promotion

- Watched Lost in Translation again and Breakfast Club for the first time

- Finished reading Lolita and began to read Beautiful Losers by Leonard Cohen

- Bicycling here, there, everywhere..

Hopefully more personal images will be coming soon, 

all I have are Instagram posts and I think everyone deserves much better quality.

Thank you and goodnight!

Barensfeld + Howell x Freunde von Freunden

Have you died a little inside yet?

So, it seems these two have the perfect apartment located in Brooklyn with pets and plants galore. These are the type of photographs that make me want to spend all my savings and retreat forever.

School is done, summer is starting, trips are rising!

Wait, what's 'the motto' again?

I'm officially done my first semester of University,

 this means I am on summer break.

You feel me?

Tomorrow I go to Vancouver. Then I go to San Francisco. Then I go to L.A.
Then to Coachella. Then I go back to San Francisco. 
I've got my flowers all ready to put in my hair, 
some gentle people lined up to meet there, 
and right now I'm at home drinking without care, 
but spilling everywhere.
Due to my wardrobe's accumulation and it currently consisting of 
about 90% chiffon,I am slowly but surely becoming 
a light packer. 


Watch the video above of megababe Nastassia and get in the mood to groove.

Mac Demarco

The first time I met Mac was when he crashed my birthday party this year,

he was with the band so it was alright. We were discussing Four Loko on my decrepit

front porch and about drinking it in California and getting messed up. Then he started talking

about being internet famous and getting paid that way and I thought that was cool.

Turns out Pitchfork rated his new shit 7.2, which is pretty damn fine.

His music is good and he is nice and cool and so are his friends, check him out.

PEACE

resurrected

Although this may have been my first Easter ever where I went without a

eggciting egg hunt (wtf mom), it was still pretty nice. It was spent getting drunk off 

vanilla vodka soaked bunny gummies, a festive take on jello shooters (see recipe below), 

eating endless tacos (which should have ended much earlier than they did), 

and making whimsical flower crowns with pretty girls. 

And I am also super eggstatic because on Saturday I'm going to my 

favourite city ever, and then trying out my hand at Coachella. 

So thanks Jesus for the good time. 

GIGGLY GUMMIES

1. Go to you local grocery store.

2. Proceed to the bulk aisle.

3. Find the biggest, most tantalizing gummy candies,

grab a bag, and load that mother up. 

(Don't forget to write the item number on the twist tie!)

4. Proceed to check out and go home.

5. Once at home, take out a nice big chilled bottle of 

vanilla vodka from the freezer.

6. Fill a mason jar with previously purchased gummy candies.

7. Cover with said alcohol and screw the lid on tightly.

8. Place in the fridge behind the milk for a couple of days so

you aren't tempted to eat them all every time you 

go to make a sandwich. 

9. After a few days when you run out of milk, 

take them out and consume by the spoonful and get giggly. 

A real fun party treat! Sure to be a hit with all your friends!

HAPPY EASTER Y'ALL

We hope you all enjoyed your long weekend and holiday!

I celebrated by wearing pastels, getting day drunk off of mimosas and smoking

more cigarettes than usual.  Don't you love Lindsay Lohan?
