Happy International Women’s Day!
IWD is alllll about celebrating the women that inspire us, so when the TWOOBS team put our heads together to think about the chicks who we look up to, it was less looking up and more looking around.. at each other.
That’s why this IWD, we wanted to shine a light on the wonderful female team behind your fave shoe brand (oh hi, it us!).
We’re so proud of our amazing team of women. Not only do they kick butt at their jobs, they’re also super interesting humans outside of work too.
So without further ado, meet team TWOOBS!

A crazy dog lady that you can usually find binging one of the Real Housewives franchises (IYKYK).
Favourite snack?
Funday Sweets are elite.
What’s your morning routine?
I try to exercise most mornings to get those silly ol' endorphins in - usually pilates or spin. That's followed by coffee immediately afterwards and a walk with one of my doggies. Then I'll drink what Taylor calls my 'mysterious liquid' (LOL) which is actually my smoothie that looks disgusting but tastes pretty good.

My current obsession is an Iced Dirty Chai and I feel like it doesn't get enough love. Go drink one before summer is over!
