50 Questions with When Words Fail fashion bloggers

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

At Husskie, we love a set of stylish twins. Twice the fun (and twice the fashion inspo). The Sydney twins behind When Words Fail – Danielle Lalor and Nicole Benton – were long destined for the fashion blogging scene. Taking photos of the different outfits they’d put together since a young age and then receiving the β€œBiggest Posers” award at their school formal, it was only natural that these two would go on to become bloggers and Instabloggers. And with their constant high-styling co-ordinating sets – we’re pretty glad they did.

With Danielle and Nicole recently reunited after separate international pursuits, we pulled the duo aside to chat everything from misconceptions about blogging to turning full-time influencers this month…

We discovered Instagram and started to follow other influencers and figured… hmmmm we could give this a crack!
