style, wellness and everything in between. we're sitting down with jules matthews, owner of two islands, to talk about the things that shape her everyday. from her approach to personal style and getting dressed, to the rituals, routines and mindset that keep her feeling her best

discover the full conversation and get to know jules beyond the wardrobe

tell us a little about yourself?  
I’m the founder of two islands, a b corp certified wellness supplement brand. I’m also a mum to 3 children. my background is in nutrition and naturopathy, which shapes a lot of how I think about product and formulation

what inspired you to start two islands?  
when I moved back to new zealand from australia,
I couldn’t find a protein powder that I loved as there wasn’t as much choice here, so I thought I’d make my own, and 8 years later, here I am!

what role does fashion play in your everyday life?
fashion is something I enjoy playing with, though some days it’s hard to find the time to experiment the way I’d like to. winter dressing is my favourite, I love the layering, the baggier silhouettes, there’s more room to play with proportion and texture
than in summer

what draws you to moochi, and how does the brand fit into your lifestyle?  
the pieces are effortless - I love the heavier weight fabrics and structured silhouettes that drape beautifully on the body and give instant confidence

how do you like to style a statement piece?
I love adding a statement piece to a casual base, for example a bold bag with jeans and a tee  

what are the pieces you find yourself reaching for on repeat?  
a good pair of jeans, black blazer and white tee
