2 Cents, Beauty, Fashion, Featured

Like one of our favorite photographers, J.M. Polynice, we see inspiration everywhere and today we see inspiration in these incredible photos she took of us one very, very hot LA morning. When we’re not wearing our “maybe she’s habesha” t-shirts, you can find us in gowns at 7am, drinking our favorite Peet’s coffee, black with a little bit of almond milk—naturally. Ha!

And because it’s September, we have to celebrate the coveted September issue by doing a variation of 73 Questions Answered by Your Favorite Celebs. You know the Vogue video series where they go to a celebs homes and ask them 73 Questions, and we have to pretend like the entire thing isn’t rehearsed?

Well, we’re not going to do 73 questions (we know you all have to get back to work or Instagram or whatever) so here is our…17 Questions Answered by one of your favorite twins, Feven & Helena.
