For Myrtle's new lookbook, the Eastside shop hit up the recently revamped Echo Park Lake to show off their latest in-store summer pieces. Picks include Samantha Pleet, Feral Childe, Reif and more.

Snapped just two days after the historic lake reopened its gates, the lookbook showcases picnic-ready dresses and breezy patterned pieces amidst the park's iconic lotuses and its restored Lady of the Lake statue. And in the spirit of the shoot's title, Double E.P., models Megan McIsaac and Laura Taylor did double-duty as photogs, shooting each other on both film and digital lenses.

We're totally eyeing this Gretchen Jones pony-print top and these Dusen Dusen school notebook-patterned linen shorts for our next paddle boating lake excursion. And this Feral Childe dress might be just the thing to beat this triple-degree heat wave. See the full lookbook here.
