GREETINGS FROM THE LAND DOWN UNDER
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.

Style inspiration can sneak in just about everywhere. I’m easily struck by so many things from images, magazines, travel, movies, textiles, etc., but what I’m most influenced by are real people. I love seeing what my friends or other style mavens are currently wearing and how. That’s why I’m especially excited to be one of ten bloggers taking part in Bib + Tuck’s Forward Fashion Project. Ten pieces will be rotated between all of us to style in our own way. I received this Citrine by the Stones double cuff which was too cool for words. It has a sleek yet organic feel to it that screamed for a flowey maxi dress. Read more about Bib + Tuck on Vogue.com.

GOLDFISH KISS X MIKOH | L’ESPRIT LOVIN’
http://tumblr.com/ZZ6_zxEppkwm
It’s no secret that 1) Mikoh is one of the sweetest lines around and 2) I am a huge fan. This year’s line, L’esprit Libre, does not disappoint, in fact it manages to raise the bar in swimwear coolness.
Each piece is simple, seamless, but has unique details that only Mikoh can claim. Example: please see the strappy yet sleek racerback Kona top, or the uber cool Monaco / Todos Santos combo ( I’d bet you could even surf in that bandeau top…in small waves). Bold jewel tones and exotic signature prints put the final stamp of sweetness on this year’s line.
Sisters Oleema and Kalani Miller continue to use their travels as inspiration for the line (I’d love to see their passport stamps), and their research has definitely paid off. I am convinced you could wear any piece, at any beach worldwide, and be the most stylin’ and appropriately clad gal around.
Gosh, I love this line.
Pick up a piece of the sweetness at Sirene, Shopbop, and soon at mikohswimwear.com.

The Celebrated Artist Reveals the Unexpected Magic of Shooting his Butterfly Film For Edun
Six species of African butterflies flutter about the tattooed torso of Bradley Soileau and the candy floss-colored hair of Charlotte Free in artist Ryan McGinley’s dynamic video portraits for Edun’s Spring 2012 campaign. Set to the soulful gospel of “If I Had A Little Love” by the Majestic Arrows, McGinley’s playful scenes of butterflies decorating the fingers, shoulders and cheekbones of a luminous cast of young models are punctuated with key pieces from the collection, such as a hand-crocheted pair of shorts or a laser-cut blouse. “I was interested in how the body could reveal the butterfly,” explains McGinley, “how it could fly out of the models’ mouths, hands or pants in its unfurling glory.” With Creative Director Sharon Wauchob preparing to send her fourth collection for Edun down the New York runway, the fashion house is establishing itself as an important voice in contemporary design. Founded by Ali Hewson and Bono in 2005, the brand’s commitment to sustainable fashion through trade and community building initiatives in countries including Uganda, Kenya and Nairobi is an inspiration for the fashion industry on the positive change it can make. Here McGinley speaks to NOWNESS about casting butterflies and other free spirits for Edun’s debut advertising campaign.
