We started How Two Live two years ago when Stef was moving to Paris for 6 months. We had never lived apart before so we thought it would be a fun way to keep in touch. How would you describe your style and what are your greatest fashion inspirations and icons? Our style is all about anything goes - we don’t like to stick to one particular style which makes getting dressed so much more exciting. If we feel like going all out then we usually rock the rainbow dressing, but we also tone it down in all black some days, it’s whatever we’re in the mood for. Our biggest style inspiration would have to be our grandmother. She is the most stylish women we know and at 85 years old is still wowing us with amazing outfits. Who are your favourite designers and places to shop? Discount Universe and Jeremy Scott would both have to be up there with our favourite designers. We’re big online shoppers so we’re regulars on Nastygal.com, Eclecticladyland.net.au, and Estateofmind.com.au What is your all-time favourite outfit? We don’t like to play favourites with our outfits...it feels like playing favourites with your children. One of our most memorable outfit combos would have to be the I Make You Wear It dresses that we wore to Spring Racing Carnival last year. What do you think is the most recent notable trend to appear/ reappear, and what are your thoughts on it? The first thing that comes to mind is Birkenstocks. We were sure they were never making a come-back after they went out 10 years ago, but boy were we wrong. We’re all for trying a new trend (well old/new) so we were rocking them last summer, but this summer you won’t see us in anything but our shoes which are launching early next year. What is the most underrated item in womenswear? Sunglasses - a lot of people just see them as an addition, but with a killer pair they can be the star of any outfit. What is the best fashion advice to give to our readers? Fashion is all about having fun and expressing yourself so don’t be afraid to try new things and get out of your comfort zone. What do you splurge on? Shoes and sunglasses are our two biggest weaknesses. What’s next for How Two Live? In addition to our own shoe line that we’re working on, we’ve just launched a shop section on our website which now allows readers to shop our looks. We’re also planning lots of travel over the next year, including Tokyo for fashion week in October which we cannot wait for!
