Gypsy.

Kate's wearing: COS tee, Isabel Marant skirt and Dicker boots, PS11 mini, Celine sunglasses, Michael Kors watch.

This trip has made us both form a slight addiction to Isabel Marant. There's something about the way she mixes boho-chic fabrics with feminine cuts and intricate details; the combination almost makes you feel like a cool gypsy roaming the streets of Paris. If you've ever been lucky enough to visit one of her boutiques, you'd also know how the aesthetics of her stores play into your decision to purchase, despite the price tags. It was hard for me to go past this little floral skirt, although I usually wouldn't buy something like this, I was attracted to the uneven cut and the fact that it can be incorporated into my wardrobe so easily. We love that most of her pieces can be worn together without even having to think, it makes the crazy idea of buying her whole collection seem reasonable.

Melrose.

Olivia's wearing: COS t-shirt, Lover shorts, Isabel Marant "Bekket" sneakers, PS11 mini, Tiffany & Co. necklace, Michael Kors watch.

The combination of orange, silk and lace, executed by one of my favourite Australian labels, Lover, is perfection in my mind. I have obsessed over these shorts for months on end, however I was originally going to purchase the black, but when I saw the orange there was no hesitation. The fact that this colour was created exclusively for Net-A-Porter, which means only a small amount of people can get their hands on them, is an added bonus. 

The Isabel Marant Bekket sneakers were another purchase that I had been contemplating for some time. Initially I didn't like the chunky style of them and I was also deterred by the fact that almost every man and his dog have a pair. Eventually the pros outweighed the cons and I gave into temptation when I found them at the Isabel Marant boutique on Melrose (that store has done bad, bad things to our bank accounts). They are probably the most comfortable pair of shoes I own and they can be easily incorporated into just about any outfit that I wear. If only I could find a way to make them work appropriate...

Cali.

Kate's wearing: Urban Outfitters top, Isabel Marant shorts and "Carol" sandals, Celine sunglasses, PS11 mini, Hermes bracelet, Michael Kors watch. 

If there ever were an 'it' pair of sandals, these Isabel Marant Carol sandals would have to be them. Every time I go on an overseas trip I always have one main item in mind that I would like to buy and on this trip it was these sandals, so I was lucky Barney's delivered the goods yet again. Considering they are almost completely sold out worldwide and Barney's had one pair left in my size and preferred colour, its safe to say it was meant to be. No other accessories are required when you wear these shoes, because the second you slip them on your outfit is instantly cool (at least I hope so). 

We shot this look on Melrose Place, which has become our favourite street in LA, not only due to the amazing selection of designer boutiques. The whole street is so picturesque, each store looks different to the last, they're all covered in different flowers or vines and the atmosphere is so tranquil, you feel like you're in your own little world - it really is a blogger's dream. 

Disneyland.

Every time we go on an overseas adventure we always plan it around a trip to Disneyland, because although we may be twenty-one, it will always be our favourite place on earth. We haven't visited LA for over ten years, so it's been amazing re-exploring the city. Disneyland was first on the list, so we spent our first two days there before moving onto Hollywood. The Anaheim park will always be our favourite, not only because it's the original, but because of the nostalgia we feel when we're there, as we went there so many times through out our childhood. 

Aloha.

Zimmermann bikini, Rag & bone fedora, ASOS sandals, Lomo fisheye camera. 

Aloha from Hawaii! I (Liv) have been staying at Waikiki Beach for the past few days and am enjoying every minute of it. It feels so good to be experiencing summer again, I love just slipping on a bikini each day and spending all my time in the sun. The photo above features a few of my daily essentials, including the simple, black ASOS sandals that I finally managed to get my hands on after they were sold out for weeks. I first spotted them on Jessica Stein from Tuula and have wanted them ever since, as I desperately needed a pair of basic sandals for summer.

After Hawaii I'm off to Los Angeles and Las Vegas with Kate, so expect to see lots of snaps in the coming weeks...

Acid Bloom.

Liv's wearing: Sass and Bide tank, Shakuhachi 'Acid Bloom' running shorts, Rag & Bone fedora, PS11 mini, Jeffrey Campbell 'Everly' boots. 

These Shakuhachi shorts were an item that I obsessively stalked online after I missed out on them when they were originally released last summer. I liked them as soon as I laid eyes on them, but I was overseas at the time in freezing cold weather, so it wasn't exactly practical for me to get a pair. However, my months of ruthless persistence paid off when I found them on Shakuhachi's website again recently. I love the simple cut of them, teamed with the light, silky fabric and the vibrant, floral pattern, they're perfect for the upcoming spring and summer weather. I may or may not have just purchased another pair of shorts which have also been on my wish list for what feels like a century...

Catara.

Kate's wearing: Zimmermann striped tee, Aje 'Catara' skirt, 3.1 Phillip Lim mini Pashli bag, Michael Kors watch, Isabel Marant sneakers.

This Aje Catara skirt is yet another piece that we both had to have, but of course we chose two different colours as it's not appropriate for us to wear identical outfits anymore, although we are often tempted to as our style is so similar. Whilst Liv opted for the green skirt, I was drawn to the maroon, as I've always loved the colour pink and anything else in that palette. We really enjoy experimenting with these skirts, as they can be worn with such an array of things in our wardrobes and for so many different occasions. 

We moved house recently which has inspired us to discover new locations where we can shoot our upcoming blog spots. Finding places to shoot is one of the hardest parts about blogging, so a change in scenery is always welcomed. The location where we shot this post happens to be in our own backyard, which is a double bonus.
