whale.



The Loneliest Whale in the World. In 2004, The New York Times wrote an article about the loneliest whale in the world. Scientists have been tracking her since 1992 and they discovered the problem: She isn’t like any other baleen whale. Unlike all other whales, she doesn’t have friends. She doesn’t have a family. She doesn’t belong to any tribe, pack or gang. She doesn’t have a lover. She never had one. Her songs come in groups of two to six calls, lasting for five to six seconds each. But her voice is unlike any other baleen whale. It is unique—while the rest of her kind communicate between 12 and 25hz, she sings at 52hz. You see, that’s precisely the problem. No other whales can hear her. Every one of her desperate calls to communicate remains unanswered. Each cry ignored. And, with every lonely song, she becomes sadder and more frustrated, her notes going deeper in despair as the years go by. Just imagine that massive mammal, floating alone and singing—too big to connect with any of the beings it passes, feeling paradoxically small in the vast stretches of empty, open ocean.

"Some people have to work for it, and some people are just born with excellent taste and polish positively oozing from every pore. Jewelry designer and style curator Mimi Jung is one such lady."

I am absolutely smitten with this house tour from refinery29. i struggled not to show every picture, you will have to go check out the original for the full set, as well as the interview.



the entire house works together, you can easily see how the palette flows from one room right into the next, reinventing itself along the way.

neoneutral.

i am obsessed with this color palette; it reminds me of jcrew. styled by caroline van oel, and photographed by sander van den dosch, the neon colors sparkle against the stark neutral surroundings. i love the quiet simplicity of each image, i feel as if just beyond each setting there is music  and action happening and the photographer just captured a brief moment..

lambskin.

i am dying for one of these cute  lambskin leather pouches! i have been seeing them all over since american apparel began selling them, but I love the idea of a handmade one from etsy! (not to mention a much wider color selection) At Rennes le Chateau shop you can get one too-
