Somehow after what has been referred to as the coolest, cloudiest summer of my lifetime I am the most tanned I have been since my trip to South Africa in 2004.
The tan I achieved in Africa was the first tan I had ever really had and was a direct result of sunburns obtained while working outdoors at De Whoop Nature Reserve.
This year I was very diligent with my sunscreen and suddenly appear to be honey dipped.
It’s all very surprising as I am usually pale or pink.
I think the sun in my skin has brought me to my summer saturation point. I am weathering the sunny days less well than I was when I was a reflective surface.
I am longing for the cool, crisp air of autumn and pining for the kind of weather that suggests I wrap myself in a scarf, pull up my tights and strap on my boots.
I’d hold off on the rain a lil’ longer so as to have extra crispy leaves but I’d welcome a dip in temperature.
T-shirt friendly in the peak of the afternoon but sweater wise the rest of the day.
I crave the fall.
It’s my most creative season. I want to make, make, make!
Stay tuned to this page as in the coming months I hope to be unveiling a few one of a kind merch items and some delicious collaborations.
In the days to come that are close at hand you can find me singing in and about Vancouver.
