In case you were wondering, it’s not too late in the season to buy a swimsuit, especially if it’s as monstrously special as this Basta one. —erica

Or sandals like those sandals.

lifefromscratch:

“Idleness is not just a vacation, an indulgence or a vice; it is as indispensable to the brain as vitamin D is to the body, and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as disfiguring as rickets. The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole, for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration — it is, paradoxically, necessary to getting any work done.”

mmm, earworms

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 10:27:10 -0700

To a psychologist – or at least to this psychologist – the most interesting thing about earworms is that they show a part of our mind that is clearly outside of our control. Earworms arrive without permission and refuse to leave when we tell them to. They are parasites, living in a part of our minds that rehearses sounds.

Rather than rehearse our plans for the day, idle thoughts, or lists of things to remember, the inner ear gets stuck on a few short bars of music or a couple of phrases from a song. A part of us that we normally do not have to think about, that should just do what we ask, has been turned against us, tormenting us with a jukebox request that we never asked for.

Got a Girl Crush On: Julia Warr’s beautiful video on Maia Helles

“Shot in Fire Island, New York, this film captures the secrets of eternal youth as Maia Helles, a Russian ballet dancer turns 95 but still remains resolutely independent, healthy and as fit as a forty year old. Made by Julia Warr, artist and film maker met Maia on a plane 4 years ago and became utterly convinced by the benefits of her daily exercise routine, which Maia perfected, together with her Mother, over 60 years ago, long before exercise classes were ever invented.”

“Can I be honest with you? I realized that I’m tired of most food photography lately. I’m tired of taking photos of food, and I’m really tired of looking at photos of food online (perfect meals and those perfect table settings). It all looks the same. The faux-urban-rustic aesthetic, with mason jars for glasses and twine-wrapped napkins. The perfectly placed spoonful of brown sugar on the table (in a vintage/antique spoon, please), the sugar crystals artfully scattered around the spoon. You know what I’m talking about. I want real photos of food. Pictures that make me feel something (other than, “oooh, where can I buy this?”). I want a food photo to appeal to my creative side, or to challenge me, or make me think. I like photos of food that give me a true sense of place – pictures that are not styled and glossy, but real and down-to-earth. The internet LOVES food. Without a doubt, my food-related photos are some of my most popular photos. Pretty photos of food can earn you a million “likes” and “reblogs” and shouts of “how lovely!”. But that’s too easy, and I’m uninterested. I want to tell a story. I want to make you feel something, to experience it with me – the way the sun felt that day we had lunch on the patio, the creeping melancholy of a breakfast alone, the happiness of a lunch of fresh oysters & white wine, the lazy conversations with friends that took place over a Sunday roast. Food is about so much more than the actual food itself.”
