Moonstruck Goddess Duster

We love this one with every kind of denim: distressed or dark, white or washed black. It has an unmistakable coastal vibe and a drama that just begs to be photographed! (Instagram called and they want you to wear this on the beach ;)). We also love it over an all black uniform of leggings and a long tank, or rock it with a wide leg linen pant or jumpsuit. Accessorize it with a simple pair of hoops and a few bangles, and you are instantly chic enough to go anywhere! 

The wise-woman, the mystic. Women who break themselves open like waves on the shore, only to find themselves stronger. Women who walk in the sea and the stars.  

Leslie Love is an artist and painter born and raised on Vancouver Island, on a wild piece of land called Song Farm. Of her process and her work, she says “I go outside daily and wander, and wonder. I’ve learned to collect less, and only take what I’m going to use, so I can leave more for the future. Here, on a crooked dead end road, I’m talking to ravens, the neighbourhood dogs, and to myself excitedly when I find a new mushroom, flower, or bird I haven’t noticed in a while, or ever before. I may even talk to the plants, and the stars. Let me show you what I see.” She creates her own paints from materials she finds in nature, including rosehips, acorn & inky caps, oregon grapes, blackberries, copper, walnut husks, wood, and water from the ocean, lakes, and rain.

Floating in her heart, a single grain of sand.
It drifts through her blood
with the ebb and flow of days, 
soaks in her story. Wraps itself 
in the layers of her woe and wonder:
the lustre of her dreams
the polish of her hard lessons. 

And then one day she sees 
it has become a pearl.
Incandescent and perfect.
Glowing like a moon just under her skin, 
strong enough to turn tides.
