Lovers and Thieves
“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees– just as things grow fast in the movies– I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”*
I spent half of the weekend relaxing. I decided to re-read The Great Gatsby* for like, the millionth time (I still blame books like this for my warped and unrealistic sense of love and romance) and enjoyed some wonderful dinners and good conversation. I spent the other half the weekend packing, which was annoying because I have too much stuff. How many pairs of black pants does a person actually need? And what about purses? As I laid them out on my floor I did some mental math and realized I should probably own stock in Coach at this point. Anyway, as I packed I fluctuated between “angry packer” and “excited packer.” “Angry packer” listened to the new Three 6 Mafia album (I highly recommend it, especially for the gym), old TI and Flo Rida. “Excited packer” listened to some of my old (Cape Cod) favorites like The Police, George Michael, and Pete Townsend.
The one lyric that kept getting stuck in my head as I packed was, “love can mend your life but love can break your heart,” from Pete Townsend. Somehow, via a long convoluted thought process I won’t subject you to, those lyrics got me thinking about Lovers and Thieves. I adore their collection, though I’m not going to lie, their website is kind of hard to navigate. Once you get used it though, you’ll find yourself loving this Ontario based collection for it’s unique style and edgy approach.
Anyway I think I’ve quoted and linked enough for one night!
