Releasing the Animal Inside

Capital Cities’ playful and dangerously catchy “Kangaroo Court”

Retreat Into the Southwest of France

Land of hay bales, local cheese and more animals than people, this region stole away my heart.

Here’s a Picture of a Dancing Fox

Because, why not? It’s Monday.

Speaking of foxes, have you heard this incredible song from Weepers Circus and Olivia Ruiz? La renarde:

Moi j’voudrais juste qu’on m’apprivoise

Whether Grounded or in Flight, Your Wings Won’t Forget Where They Wish to Go

“I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright.”

Melbourne: Paint by Colors

Melbourne easily earns the title of one of the hippest little cities I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. Artsy, intellectual, sprawling, and fast-paced, this place is truly world-class. A pal of mine moved to Australia earlier this year, and she has since made Melbourne her home.

We ran all around trying to jam pack the “true Australian experience” into a few days and she was an absolutely phenomenal host. We fed wallabies, caught some awesome films at the St. Kilda Film Festival, watched the tiny blue penguins (600 of them!) come in at dusk on Phillip Island, took in some contemporary galleries, noshed on scones while discussing countries’ “Gross National Coolness” at the Next Wave Festival, and got entirely too little sleep. But oh, it was worth it.

And because photos sometimes tell the story better than words can, I give you the full spectrum of Melbourne – in technicolor!
