Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Seems like Billabong has been surfing the blogosphere for inspiration. Billabong’s Design Director Mandy Robinson has been obsessing over Oracle Fox, especially since her trip to Australia. Amanda Shadforth, the blogger behind Oracle Fox, grew up surfboard under foot, friends at the ready, even now, to chill on Sydney’s beaches.

Thus the Billabong team approached Oracle Fox to collaborate on a Spring/Summer 2012 collection.

Made-to-order breakfast tacos and fresh horchata kept bellies occupied as eyes glazed-over thinking about sunnier days, big ocean waves and the fun, sexy Roxy collections.
