Fountain of Youth

Yesterday my friend and I ventured down to Queen street, and while waiting for a friend, I climbed the rocky fountain that I once climbed all too often as a child. Being older and taller than I once was, it felt different, yet there was a dreamlike familiarity. Kind of like a smell you always smelled, but never knew why or where it came from.
Thanks to one of my best friends for the photos.
Because it was cooler out, I could finally wear my favourite new scarf. I found it in a bin in Kensington Market for only $1, and soon after purchasing I learned it was 100% silk, and a Diane Von Furstenberg original. A close up photo is below.
scarf: vintage Diane von Furstenberg * dress: Urban Outfitters * purse: thrifted * flip flops: Reel

love the pattern of the scarf with the black dress, another fantastic outfit as usual:)

and your hair do reminds me of Nico, so long and pretty and nonchalant. I'm trying to grow my hair that long at the moment so I can have a little bit of that cool too, hehe.
