Australian designers, god love em. I find that I never really like whole collections, much akin to how I hardly ever like whole albums, but rather, singular songs. There are certain bands, however, that I love every single song - ahem, Murder City Devils - and there are some collections where I love practically every single piece. A lot of those collections happen to be from Australian designers. Things that make you go hmmm...

SUMMER LOVIN

Magdalena Malibu Motoshoot. Where babes, bikes, and beaches collide. See what I did there? Yeah, I'm not amused either. I like Magdalena cause she's a total blockhead and weird looking. I like weird. I'm weird. If you're ever in southern California and you're not intimidated by the biker crowd, you should go check out Neptune's Net. The food is what you'd expect - beach food - but it's the view that's the real gem. Infamous for being a biker hangout, it's actually half chopper crowd and half street bike douchey crowd. Can you tell which I prefer? Be prepared to have the douchier side of the mix try to wow bystanders by doing continuous wheelies and various other mind-blowingly loud tricks a la Ruff Ryders, much to the annoyance of the rest of us. But in the meantime let's oogle the below...

GET ON IT SON!
13 hour days are doing nothing for my energy level as of late. my low energy level and overall lackluster enthusiasm for getting ready (not to mention this bizarre bipolar weather we're still experiencing) result in me erring on the side of comfort. c'mon it's 5:30 am, give me a break. comfort usually comes in the form of jeans and a t-shirt for me and thankfully the combo within arms reach this bleary-eyed morning was a nonsensical mix match of patterns. do you ever notice how the things that seemingly make the least amount of sense sometimes make the most sense?

One of my most often worn articles of clothing is this black linen Isabel Marant t-shirt I have. I would honestly wear it every single day if it were sanitary. It has the most perfectly cut scoop neck and slight trapeze body, making it by far the most wearable and belly-hiding, go-to top in my closet. I had never known the joys of linen t-shirts until it was gifted to me 4 years ago and I've steadily worn the shit out of it since. I always wanted to stock up on more, but fundamentally don't believe in spending $$$ on something so plain as a t-shirt.

Case in point: Balmain Tee on Net-a-Porter for $1625??????? Rip that shit yourdamnself!


Anyhow, I went to Zara over the weekend and scored these super smooshy, just-as-awesome-as-Isabel-Marant-minus-the-price-tag, linen tees! They come in white, black, and army green. I couldn't resist getting all three.

Calgel makes even weak ass nails like mine long and strong...then of course Chanel makes everything better.

*EDIT : the base is Calgel color 'SW' and the drip is Calgel black. The Chanel art is Liquitex nail paint, hand-painted by me.
