Inspiration - Fennec Foxes

While doing some research at work the other day, I came across these adorable creatures called Fennec Foxes. The Fennec Fox (vulpes zerda) is a small nocturnal fox native to the Saharan desert of North Africa. It has huge ears, with hearing sensitive enough to hear prey moving underground. It is the smallest species of canid in the world.




Needless to say; I have fallen in love.

The Quiet World.

In an effort to get people to look
into each other’s eyes more,
and also to appease the mutes,
the government has decided
to allot each person exactly one hundred
and sixty-seven words, per day.

When the phone rings, I put it to my ear
without saying hello. In the restaurant
I point at chicken noodle soup.
I am adjusting well to the new way.

Late at night, I call my long distance lover,
proudly say I only used fifty-nine today.
I saved the rest for you.

When she doesn’t respond,
I know she’s used up all her words,
so I slowly whisper I love you
thirty-two and a third times.
After that, we just sit on the line
and listen to each other breathe.

The Coveteur.

The Coveteur is a fantastic website, taking you inside the wardrobes of some of fashion's most revered. The photography is always exquisitely styled and there is a lot to dribble over!! My favourite post so far has been Suzanne Roger's - set in the Ritz in Paris (oh so Marie Antoinette) and with some of the most beautiful Alexander McQueen and Chanel pieces I have ever seen!!

Here is a selection of my favourites:






*sigh* One day...
