Sportsgirl Festival Style

With all the summer festivals coming up in Australia, we were asked by Sportsgirl to style our own festival looks from their current collection. You can check out the full article here, but we also thought we'd post a few extra photos from our shoots for everyone to see.

FYI Sportsgirl liked our DIY bumbag idea so much that they're offering a free cosmetic bag with every online order when you enter the promo code "howtwolive" at checkout (while stocks last). We're a promo code, how cool!

Gardiner and Field

Finally went to Gardiner and Field for lunch yesterday after weeks of trying to get there. The quinoa salad I had was definitely delicious but props had to go to my choc milkshake which arrived in a cold metal cup, major win... and seriously brought me back to our old High Street Caf days! Don't think I could be loving on your Europe wardrobe more. This jacket is literally the most amazing thing I've ever seen (and felt), never taking it off!!

FOM Sale

Headed to the Friend Of Mine sample sale at Down Yonder yesterday, so devo that you just miss it! Was hoping to find a couple of Tarzan (or nappy) skirts but when they were nowhere to be seen I settled for an amazing pair of red pants and a bag that I've had my eye on for months. Was a little underwhelmed with the outfit choice when I left home in the morning but the weird looks I consistently received throughout the day confirmed that I did indeed look like a freak. Mission accomplished!

Champs-Elysees

Heard Laduree reopened on the Champs so I headed there today for some of their world-famous macarons... their marshmallow filling is to die for, will have to go back with Jerome when he gets here next week. Have been so excited to show you these flares since I bought them! They're so comfy and have joined the velvets and the laces as a major wardrobe staple. Luckily for you they'll be part of your wardrobe too so very soon.

Back Home

First day back in Melbourne was hectic to say the least! Spent it running around meeting with designers for PFW wrap up, meaning I was surrounded by beautiful clothing all day. It took a lot of self control but after the damage we did in London, I knew I had to resist my urges to purchase! Stopped by Grape Seed to pick up our favourite chicken sanga... I had to do something to make you jealous now that I'm home!

London Day Out

Day 2 of our epic London shopping spree saw us pull out the flares and furs and head to Brick Lane for a bit of vintage. Visited an incredible store called Beyond Retro, which is pretty much London East's answer to Topshop, with wall after wall lined with vintage goodies, mainly from the 80s and 90s. Couldn't help but stop by the real Topshop afterwards for a quick round 2 before heading back to Paris.

Back in Paris

24 hours, a few unnecessary duty free purchases, and a whole lot of movies later...and here we are back in Paris! The new apartment is out of control, I don't know how I'm ever going to want to go out. But with fashion shows starting tomorrow I think I may happen to find a way...

Club Sandwich

Took a detour on the way to the airport via my favourite Sydney sandwich spot. Ordered our sandwiches takeaway so we could eat them on the way home...best airplane meal of my life. After a couple of days of great shopping, ridiculous food, and a bit of sunshine, it's finally time to come back to Melb.

Last Weekend Of The Season

Went to the snow for the weekend which was amazing, and skiing quality was actually epic. Devastated that the season's over but also very excited because it means winter's over too! Can't tell you how ready I am to ditch the furs and boots... feels like my skin hasn't seen the sun in years!

Whitney Eve For SG

Went to a talk that Whitney Port was giving on her new line for SG. Some of the pieces were quite cute but I'm not gonna lie, I was mainly there to see her. Also, how adorable is my jumbo-sized, pink poodle! I spotted her on the way out and knew she would make for the ultimate style snap accessory... I may or may not have named her.

Shopping At Topman

Took Jake into Topman today for a bit of a shop which was such a party. Dying for all the South American pattern they have in there at the moment... I kind of wished he was a doll though so I could make him buy everything I wanted! Also made me so excited for our London trip, Topshop Oxford Circus ain't gonna know what hit them!

A Day At The NGV

Met Deb at the The NGV for the afternoon which was so much fun! They have the Napoleon exhibition on there at the moment but was definitely more interested in the sweet contemporary pieces. Also love that we're both vibing the orange clutches at the moment, although I do think your make-shift one might be slightly cooler than mine.

A Night With Ro And Fam

Went for dinner with Ro and the family to Il Bacaro last night which was super cute. I was so excited that I could finally wear my birthday necklace (or bib as I like to refer to it) out for the first time! It was also our last night with Lydia which is very sad... who can I get to take photos for me now?!

The Smith

Stopped by The Smith for some drinks on the way to dinner last night. Take it from me, drinking on an empty stomach after just doing an exercise class is a silly idea... The dinner that followed was definitely not one of my finest moments!

Skiing at Mt Buller

Had such fun skiing at Mt Buller over the last couple of days. Not gonna lie, the man-made snow wasn't exactly up to Aspen standards. But what the weekend lacked in skiing quality, it made up for in board games, comfort food and lots of wine!

Getting Muddy at T in the Park

Getting dirty on our final day at T in the Park. Mud, dancing, rain, drinking, and more mud pretty much sums up the entire weekend. Highlights were Temper Trap, Nicki Minaj, Labrinth, Snow Patrol, Jessie J and Swedish House Mafia. And yes, that is mud all over your pants...let's hope the Missoni has a good washing machine!
