Steffi Beach

Perfect 30 degree weather? Check. Delicious Mexican spread? Check. DJ Giddy Heine behind the decks? Of course. Seriously couldn't think of a better way to distract myself from the fact that I'm turning a year older than partying at Steffi Beach, aka a beautiful ocean-side pool turned into my very own version of the day club, Nikki Beach. The sign was definitely the coolest part in all of it and I'm hoping that if I leave it on display, the beach's name might somehow catch on with the locals. May have gone a little crazy on all the Missoni get up but it's my birthday and I'll wear top-to-toe Missoni if I want to!

Somers Time

Had an epic (and very hectic) weekend up at Somers for Steffi Beach. After searching up and down Chapel Street for  the perfect outfit I finally decided on this amazing kaftan from Sass and Bide. Initially I was unsure about the lack of colour but then I realised it just meant I could add some crazy accessories which of course I always love!

Special Deliveries

Had a busy day handing out a few very special packages for an upcoming event we're planning... don't want to give away too much but we will tell you it involved some seriously delicious cupcakes and some very happy tummy's (check insta for more). Seriously cannot get enough of this Cameo print... particularly loving the fact that it comes in two colours so we can wear it together without people thinking we're total freaks!

A New Local

Tried out this new Japanese place for dinner - still in search of a replacement Takara, our Paris favourite (who would've thought my favourite Japanese in the world would be found in France!) While service was a little slow, the food was seriously delicious, and this place just may need to be added to my list of locals. My tastebuds are getting warmed up for our next trip...why can't it be April already!

Post-Holiday Blues

Threw this adorable outfit on this morning in an attempt to pull myself out of my depressed post-holiday state. First day back at uni in 3 months and I'm already planning our next getaway (you're gonna love this one)! Best part about my day was that I finally got to use my fluoro pink 2013 diary...it kind of makes me feel like Malibu Barbie...and I kind of love it!

Sydney Without You

Headed up to Sydney for the weekend with Ro and co. to see Swedish House Mafia. While in town I obviously ensured there was time to pop into a couple of our favourite PR agencies and eat at a couple of our favourite cafes - of course neither of these things was quite the same without you. Absolute favourite moment of the weekend was when I was quietly eating lunch alone at The Grounds and a girl came up to me and asked if I was Stef from How Two Live! The most impressive part in all this was of course that she'd managed to tell us apart...something that even our mother often fails to do!

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!
