know what i love? (a lot of things, yeah, i know.) jokes! fashionjokes. and not knowing what exactly to expect from a design house. nailed it, rodarte. i'm always surprised by each collection with rodarte. i think i have a handle on what they're up to. and then. a jig. off in an unexpected direction. while maintaining the general language of the thing that is them. yes? yes. sisters. sisterfashionjokes. 80s western somethingorother i love it. tassels and scorpions and mesh.

awake until the wild feelings leave

(yeah, so basically all the titles for the resort posts are from the national. what of it? maybe i'm still listening to their new album nonstop? so what? that's normal. whateves, you don't know me!)

prairies, up late with the sunset so slow and the glow in the fields, and the only place you're not sure you don't believe, and the long skirts and the long hair caught up in the wind.

neither you nor i

things are very good in toronto. i am feeling very good and glad. but also i am very much missing home right now. and the people who are it. my magical family. i am nervous at the possibility of christmas without emma & charlie. i don't even know what that would look like. i am sad that declan is getting so big. i hope he won't be as shy as me, and that he'll always be warm to his aunt erin. i am grateful to have love so big that it hurts.

tonight i'll be roasting pumpkin seeds. and sleeping in flannel sheets (even though it is not cold enough here, and i have to leave the window open so i don't roast myself). my heart will be in the prairies, driving from farm to farm with gerry, collecting candy and drinks.

i know this is a spring collection, but it sure would make for good thanksgiving-wear. especially that first dress. with a little apron. oh yes. i could cook a mean meal in that. (speaking of which, yesterday's pie and turkey were both my best-yet. total thanksgiving win. so so pleased with myself and the most beautious humans who came to share it and brought so much deliciousness and warmth into our home. hoooray!)
