A Summer's Day

I am absolutely loving this extended summer we seem to be experiencing so I decided to take full advantage and had my ultimate summer's day. Started off with a delicious lunch in Hampton at a cute cafe called Sip. This was followed by an afternoon of tanning and swimming at Half Moon Bay - seriously forgot how beautiful that place is! I literally felt like I was back on the beach in Hawaii.... Well, almost.

ALWL Day 5

This label is actually by a friend of a friend of ours and we could not be more excited to have discovered them. The coolest part is that the two talented ladies behind the label not only produce seriously awesome fashion items, but the studio also provides services in architecture, graphics, branding and interiors...if only they would create an entire house out of this pink felt for us - we would be in absolute heaven!

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!

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!

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!

Fish Facts

Felt like a change from the usual dinner choice of Hanoi (as I was there both nights prior) so we headed to Hooked for a delicious fishy feast. I opted for the grilled house fish with salad but I got a little excited with the never ending supply of Big Red and turned my dinner into ketchup with a side of snapper more than anything else. Was very tempted to sneak next door to LOTF for some takeaway onion rings but decided you'd be too jealous so I'm waiting until you're home - which is today! YAY!!

Afternoon BBQ

Summer has finally arrived and I literally could not be more excited. I felt that blue skies and 28 degree weather called for tanning and cider by the pool so that's exactly how I spent my day. Following this was a BBQ at Dame's where we put on a spread which impressively met the dietary requirements of every carnivore, pescetarian and vegetarian there. Borrowed this adorable playsuit from Charlotte for the evening but have now decided I want to invest in one for us... frills and florals, what could be better?

Twosie Week Day 2

Had cousin circle dinner at Jerome's which was lots of fun as always. While the spread he put on was particularly impressive (homemade falafel, dips and tabbouleh), the ridiculous sunset seemed to steal his thunder. So happy I held off on wearing this adorable Shakuhachi ensemble..couldn't think of a better time for it to make its HTL debut than twosie week! P.S keep your eyes open for an extra post later today...we have a surprise coming!
