Guest post by Sarah Kolb

There are few things in life better than a slow summer day, a pretty sundress, and good music. 
This Summer, I've been crazy obsessed with Wild Child, a local band from my hometown of Austin, Texas. 

They're fun. Sweet. Write sardonic and twisted songs over pretty ukulele riffs. And are all around an amazing band. That's why I decided to create this outfit inspired by one of their songs Whiskey Dreams. 

A cute printed sundress, a cheerful tote, vintage sunglasses, and of course, just a little studded leather to keep things fresh. What are your favourite summer tunes and trends? Let us know!


Whiskey Dreams

Also. If you're ever in an indie folk band and need to think of an album cover. Just find a raggedy vintage piece of furniture and put bold text over. This is literally the epitome of every Austin band's album art, and I love it. 


Don't wake me up, took so long for me
To fall asleep last night through tears I could hardly breath
Thinking maybe there, stupid whiskey dreams
Are gonna kill me soon

xoxo

Grimesss.

Okay, so I'm going to admit I may have a bit of a girl crush on Claire Boucher. She's just so cool. I watched the music video for oblivion earlier, having not known what she looked like before, and I now just want to be extra creepy and make myself look as much like her as possible. I love her hair! Even though I'd never actually have the balls to bleach/ dye my own hair cool colours. I know I sound all gross and teenage girlish, but it just comes out sometimes. I cant control it! Also, I was stalkering on her wikipedia page and it says this- "In 2009, Boucher and her then-boyfriend from Tennessee constructed a 20-foot houseboat, named the "Velvet Glove Cast in Iron," with the intention to sail it down the Mississippi River from Minneapolis to New Orleans. The cargo included chickens, a typewriter, 20  pounds of potatoes and a gifted copy of Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Boucher and her companion adopted the names "Varuschka" and "Zelda Xox" for the trip. Due to engine trouble and subsequent harassment from the Minnesota police, the journey was cut short and the houseboat and chickens were impounded. Their diet consisted of mainly potatoes." Now I don't know if this is actually true, but its so funny I don't even care.
Here's some pictures of her being all cute with amazing hair-
