Since I flooded that last post with words, instead I'm going to flood this post with pictures! A few weeks ago, Kat and I went out on my old row boat and floated around on the lake I live on, which is one of our very favorite summer things to do. We quickly threw together a mess of picnic fixings--kettle cooked chips, iced tea in sippy cups, IZZEs, and some candy--and snapped a few pictures before the sun started going down. Once we got on the boat we still had a bit of sunlight and were able to watch as the sun set over the lake as we (mostly Kat) rowed all around the water. At some points we just stopped and dipped our toes in, letting the boat drift, which can sometimes be the nicest, as long as you avoid fellow boater collisions. We also tried to get some of the fish to come up and say hello, but quickly learned that apparently fish aren't that into kettle chips. I also brought along my cassette player to provide some tunes for our mini adventure. I chose "Forbidden Delicious" by the band Pageants from one of my favorite online music distributors, Night People Records . It felt like the perfect, sunny, upbeat tape for summertime frolics. I don't want to go into it too much, because I have a whole post planned out, but Night People Records has been a great source for me for finding new, independent music, plus I think all of the artwork for the different cassettes is incredible and really inspiring! I've been especially into cassettes lately, so expect quite a few tape-related posts in the future! Speaking of posts in general, I've fallen really behind! But, I have plenty I want to catch up on (film scans, trips to LA, music, books, art, flea finds, adventures!), so hopefully updates are going to get a bit more regular around here! Sorry for the slowness!

This looks delightful! Reminds me of summers when my best friend and I would borrow the neighbor's paddle boat and go out to the middle of the lake and gossip and talk about boys. Except you ladies look way better than us when we were 13 and awkward. Seriously styling.
My favorite Jessica outfit photos are the ones by the water with little boater hats and '90s dresses. Also I love that you're obsessed with cassette tapes . . . You're the greatest. :)
oh my, this is so lovely! love your outfit and awesome cassette player! :)
