Outfitted Week 4

Outfitted: week 4, 11.5" x 13" Watercolour on Canson paper

The Leslie Spit is one of my favourite places to be in August in Toronto. 10 minutes on a bike and I feel like I have left the city. The yellow tansy flowers make the air smell of honey, and the crickets drown out any traffic sounds from the city.

I can't go a day without checking in on Modish, a great handmade, vintage, and indie fashion blog.
