Quinn Rockliff: Toronto based female artist who draws moments of self love captured through nudes There were a lot of interesting humans in the crowd at Wayhome this year (Check out our recap video below to experience it yourself), but one in particular, stood out from the masses.

Maybe they’d smell like fallen leaves. or maybe snowflakes in the breeze. I traveled through the 7 seas to see if They smell like you do. Because my love you are my star, you smell exactly how i think a star Should smell, so from afar, I’ll just assume they smell like you.” -Banks opening poem, Wayhome 201

Fresh summer outfits that stood out from the crowd this year! Last week our team had a blast covering WAYHOME Music and Arts, an annual festival an hour north of Toronto. The stages featured acts from the likes of Solange, Banks, Frank Ocean, Flume, Vance Joy and so many other talented artists! The performers weren't the only ones inspiring us with their music! Like any music festival, the crowds were bursting with style. We definitely left with some major outfit inspo! Here

This isn’t a bad kind of sad, but rather you embracing the quiet calmness of the world around you and thinking that for the time being, you aren’t going to try and fight it by trying to put a smile on your face.

When your best friend moves away, it can be hard to tell them exactly how you feel (without crying, of course). I made this with my best friend Jaina in mind.

When slow summer days don’t seem to be creeping by fast enough, I often turn to my nostalgia to keep me comforted. Last spring break I had the opportunity to go to beautiful Arizona, home of the Grand Canyon and one of my closest friends. These are some soft, indie songs that remind me of the time.
