Photo Shoot

Had a super fun HTL shoot yesterday where we got to work with a great team of people and wear some of our favourite labels which was of course the ultimate! The concept for the shoot was really cool and despite feeling extremely awkward in front of the camera the pics turned out amazing! Very excited to share some outfit photos with everyone over the next week. Also discovered an awesome store based in Melb, Fashiondacci, which we will have to hit up later this week for some major wardrobe updates!

Top Paddock

While I'd usually make it a rule not to go to a cafe on its opening day, this place was so pumping as I drove by this morning that it caught my eye and lured me in. Turns out its by the owners of Two Birds One Stone which would explain why it was so packed on day one. Meal highlights were polenta porridge (see it on insta @howtwolive) and chocolate milkshake. An outfit change and quick tanning session later, Ro decided he needed to teach me how to ride his fixie...as if I'm not uncoordinated enough on my own two legs. Despite being a disaster it did make for a particularly hilarious afternoon and took me back to Copenhagen days.

Aus Open Final

After two weeks of crazy tennis it was time to head to the men's final with the fam and I couldn't resist pulling out this fluro get up for the occasion. Absolutely loved watching the epic Djokovictory unravel! It was almost as enjoyable as seeing all the Murray fans get annoyed at us for our very loud and very excessive Djokovic cheering.. only down side to the match was that I lost $30!

Australia Day

Spent my Australia Day at Jerome's place for his BBQ and Spa Party. Unfortunately due to Melbourne's awful unpredictable weather the day was fit for neither of these things, but pretty much nothing can stop me from pulling out a cute summer outfit. Afterwards I headed over to (surprise, surprise...) the tennis, for the women's final. Favourite moment was when Redfoo ripped off his jacket to reveal him and his poss had spelt "VIKA" across their tees. Although it didn't compare to the guy who ripped off his top to reveal the intricate  portrait of Djokovic drawn on his chest.

Three Bags

Can't believe it's the middle of summer and the weather is already requiring me to wear pants! With tanning officially off the table I have had no choice than to get back to my cafe hopping ways. Yesterday's lunch was at Three Bags and as you would expect the food did not disappoint... they even gave us a free cupcake at the end of our meal. Great outcome!

Letters From Letty

Ventured into the city today for a pre-season showing of a bunch of different designers and labels. Discovered this awesome gift subscription concept called Letters From Letty where you sign up for anywhere between one to twelve months, and they send you cool unique pressies monthly. And great news, they ship all over the world! Already brainstorming who I can buy this as a present for. Metal Couture by WLG also caught my eye with their incredible collection of gothic jewellery, and went home with a goodie bag full of T2 teas - loving that they've named one of their teas 'Melbourne Breakfast'.

Matching Florals

Took a break from the tennis for the day and headed out to my fave lunch spot with Deb. Found you an epic new tuna salad to try, complete with cottage cheese, it is sooo up our alley! Decided I'd ignore the 35 degree heat today and rock this amazing floral bomber when I noticed how similar the print is to these Senso sandals. Can't believe we never noticed, seriously a match made in heaven!

Jerome's Birthday

Today I managed a break between Aus Open and Aus Open to go shopping for our brother Jerome's birthday. Among other things I found a really cool book on growing your own veggie patch, which I thought would be a great addition to his bachelor pad - right along with his new jacuzzi. Get in there girls!

Not Another Twosie

Back home and obviously straight to the tennis! Had an epic night watching Federer smash Raonic.. although my jetlag did prevent me from enjoying it fully as I was deliriously tired through the entire second half. Always did love this twosie so I was so excited the other day when I found it buried at the very back of our closet.  PS hope you're dying for this adorable double rainbow combo as much as I am!

Tennis Time

Appel and I have been hitting it up the tennis hard lately. Today we watched our favourite Frenchmen, Tsonga and Gasquet, while snacking on Big Ms and hot chips...took me back to tuckshop days. Was very unimpressed to receive some seriously weird looks and comments from a couple of sleazy men...although I guess it was kind of fair considering my skirt had slits up to my bellybutton. Oh the things we do for fashion.

Golf Day

For my final afternoon here I decided to get my golf on and go watch the tournament that's on - the Mitsubishi Electric Golf Championship. While swinging a club ain't exactly my thing, there's nothing better than watching someone else sweat while you enjoy an afternoon drink or two. Obviously took the opportunity to dress up, and while sadly I'd left my stripes and knee-high socks at home, I did manage to pull together this pretty cute golf-appropriate outfit, with the golf buggy as the perfect accessory to finish it off.

Bedridden

After spending the last 2 days sick in bed, today I threw on my most colourful outfit in an attempt to make myself feel better. Thankfully it miraculously worked and I'll be back in action and ready for the tennis tomorrow. Been seriously devastated that I've missed the last 48 hours of my beloved Australian Open...although between Fox Sports and Lance Armstrong on Oprah I've been kept very well entertained. Still wish you would've been here to keep me company!

Kings Pond

Thought since my Hawaii getaway is coming to an end I should finally face my fears and go snorkelling in Kings Pond. Was so devo you weren't there to freak out with me! At one point I thought the stingray was swimming towards me so I jumped on top of Debbie and started screaming like a little girl...The 12 year old boy next to me thought it was hilarious.

Boyfriend Singlet

There are 3 things that make me happiest in life: 1. Tanning, 2. Eating a really good tuna sandwich, and 3. Discovering something in my boyfriends wardrobe that I can steal. Today I hit two out of three (this place is seriously lacking in great sandwiches) so I'm pretty happy with myself. Absolutely loving this UNIF singlet that Ro bought and of course had to wear it before he's had the chance to. Paired with my white lace flares it made for the perfect last-night-out outfit. Farewell paradise!

Star Gazing

Made the genius decision to ditch our usual dinner spot and instead had a picnic on the beach. Spread was right up our alley - tuna sandwiches (with the crusts cut off) and chocolate chip cookies. Best part of the night was definitely the incredible star gazing that took place after dinner though.. at one point we thought we spotted a shooting star which we then decided was actually a meteor coming towards earth to kill everyone. Not to worry though, we later realised it was just Maui in the distance. Crisis averted!

Rainbow Bright

Pulled out a seriously bright and colourful outfit for today's beach session. Fell in love with these shorts when I found them in a store in LA and was so excited to find out they were Shakuhachi. Loving that a few of our fave Aussie labels are making it big in the US at the moment. FYI have since found out there are bathers that come in the same print which I'm dying for...in case you're starting to brainstorm for my birthday present!

Shopping in Pink

Felt it had been too long since my last all in pink post so decided to rock this look for a day out shopping on the island. While I didn't have very high expectations for Hawaii fashion wise, I have to admit I was very impressed with the Missoni spread we happened to stumble upon! I absolutely die for the amazing colours and prints in both the homewares and clothing and couldn't resist splurging on a Missoni piece of my very own!

Hello Kitty Shoes

After a week in this routine consisting of nothing but eating, sleeping, tanning and relaxing, decided to change it up today - if only very slightly - and visit the pond to watch the sharks being fed. The 3 baby sharks have become like our pets while we've been here, earning the nicknames Carrie, Charlotte and Samantha (we never cared too much for Miranda). Dying to take Samantha the hamerhead home for Bo to play with!

Spa Day

We weren't quite feeling relaxed enough after eight days of nothing but tanning by the pool and eating delicious food so decided to head to the spa for an afternoon of R&R. Our amazing massages were followed by a sauna and ended with a dip in the spa and some lychee tea. Seriously best way to spend the afternoon!

Out in Kona Town

Reluctantly left our beautiful resort and headed into town for a delicious Mexican feast, followed by a few drinks at the local pub. Brought back so many memories of when Sally and I backpacked around Hawaii what feels like forever ago. Can't believe you're underage here - the great thing about us looking like twins is that we can both get in on my ID! Thought it best to leave the camera at home for our night out on the town in case things got a little messy, so I snapped on the balcony beforehand - gotta love a little twosie action.

Beer O'clock

I think one of my favourite things about being on holidays is every afternoon at 5 when it's finally happy hour, or Beer O'clock as we have come to call it. The best thing about yesterday though, other than the edamame that accompanied my delicious mango mai tai, was that I finally got to wear this amazing quilted Topshop twosie. Been waiting for the right moment to steal it off you ever since I saw you take it out of your Paris suitcase.

Hawaii Heaven

Today was just another day in Hawaii heaven. The morning consisted of the world's most delicious buffet breakfast - my favourite combo of bagels, scrambled eggs and pain au chocolat, and a walk through the gardens, followed by an afternoon spent splitting my time between the pool and the beach. Feeling like pretty much nothing could disturb this peace...not even the bird who insists on pecking at our window at 7 every morning.

Day two in Hawaii was potentially the most active day of my life - started out with a tennis game before breakfast, followed by a morning of tanning by this amazing pool. By afternoon we were on the basketball courts playing 21and to finish off had the most intense table tennis competition of my life.. gotta love being away with boys! Have to admit though, I am getting excited for some serious girl time when it's just us next week!

Morning in Paradise

Discovered this amazing chain of stores in LA called Wasteland, where they sell vintage as well as a lot of cool Aussie labels like Minkpink and Cameo. I picked up this incredible vintage pink skirt for $29 and have been dying to wear it - thought a beach walk in the wind would be the perfect time to christen it, and of course make for a great style snap. This is the most beautiful place on earth and I can't think of a better place to go for a morning stroll - especially when it ended with us watching whales jumping out of the water right off the shore. Paradise.
