MIKOH X THIS WEEKEND'S FINDS

2. MAKO SHARK JAW | AS MY CLOSE FRIENDS AND FAMILY KNOW, I HAVE A SLIGHT OBSESSION WITH ALL THINGS SHARK. SHARK TEETH, SHARK JEWELERY, AND NOW AN ACTUAL SHARK JAW. THIS LITTLE BABY LOOKS FABULOUS HUNG IN MY HALLWAY AT HOME. DUH NUH… DUH NUH…. DUH NUH…

EMPIRE AVE X MIKOH | 2012 COLLECTION

MIKOH X EMPIRE AVE

This is to offset the number of winter posts that keep popping up – a swimwear post! Mikoh are back with another collection and a lookbook of images that leave you dreaming about the beach, sun, sand and a general carefree life…

This is their 2012 collection, which I’ll take a guess at and say will be out now? Jason, a little help? Regardless of the drop, the range looks pretty good – and has expanded to include cover ups and broader range of separates and one pieces (yeah i’m getting the lingo!) I have no real idea whats good or not for a lady, but I do know what I like. So I screensnapped what I thought was pretty cool looking. Agree or disagree with the selection?

Either way, you can take full on look at the range over at the Mikoh site.

A little pull quote from their website about the collection (might more sense then me waffling on)

“EVERY DETAIL DESIGNED FOR THE HEARTS, MINDS, AND BODIES OF THE BOHEMIAN TRIBE. ARTISTS AND ARTISANS, LOVERS AND FRIENDS. THE LINE EMBRACES VINTAGE SOPHISTICATION SET TO MIKOH’S MODERN SILHOUETTES, WITH COLORS AND PRINTS TO EVOKE THE ORIGINS OF CONTEMPORARY GLAMOUR A HALF CENTURY PAST. THE COLLECTION’S SWIMSUITS AND COVER-UPS”

OLEEMA X KALANI

DOWN UNDER SUNSHINE

WE HAVE FOUND OURSELVES HERE AGAIN ON THE GOLD COAST OF AUSTRALIA! I LOVE COMING TO THIS LITTLE GEM OF A PLACE EVERY YEAR AND IT NOW FEELS LIKE HOME AWAY FROM HOME. NOW HAVING MASTERED DRIVING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHILE MANEOUVERING (YES, THAT’S HOW THEY SPELL IT HERE!) THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE CAR IS ALWAYS AN EXPERIENCE. WITH DAY TRIPS DOWN TO BYRON BAY, WALKS AT DUSK ON THE BEACH, AND MORE FRESH JUICE THAN I CAN HANDLE, OZ IS A PLACE WHERE IT IS HARD NOT TO WALK AROUND WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE. G’DAY FROM DOWN UNDA.
