Smaggle

Holy McMoly it is SO FREAKING FREEZING TODAY! And it’s still technically summer. So annoying. Today was average. Nothing major to report. I’m just about to leave work and go home and relax before I head out for dinner for my lovely friend’s birthday. An evening with girls and cocktails sounds great!

I do hope everyone has a lovely weekend and I promise to write a post for you all from work tomorrow. While you sleep in and be all snuggly and warm… I’ll be in my office. Writing to you. Think about that okay?

Oh my god. I am so unfathomably cranky today it is UNBELIEVABLE!!! Don’t ask me why because I don’t know why! I just am. This afternoon I’m going to the gym (quickly because if I go for too long I’ll get even more annoyed but if I don’t go and burn some of this tension I may well kill someone) and then I’m off to Japanese lessons and to have dinner with Mr Smaggle and Mr Squiggle. My man and his brother.

I think everyone should say something funny in my comments section to make me laugh. I like toilet humour and funny words. Even if you can’t think of funny things to write just write ‘poo’. That would be SO COOL! Just a whole bunch of people who said ‘poo’ and nothing else in my comments section. Come on! Just do it! I write things for you everyday! If you really love me you would do it…

 I have been a bad blogger. I very very very bad blogger. I’ve been all over Smaggle like a fat kid on cake and I’ve been ignoring all my little bookmarks in my favourites file. I went through all my flagged wadrobe_remixers and here is a tasty treat of their most recent sartorial triumphs. I like to pretend these ladies are all friends and drink herbal tea together and talk about art. And for some reason I imagine them all baking as well… weird.

Today was super busy at work because people kept asking me to do things. Really stupid time consuming things. But other than that I had a great day! It’s Orientation Week at the university and one of my friends is organising the whole she-bang. She gave me a cool show bag that had Halloween M&M’s, chips, badges and a singlet in it! Plus a whole bunch of advertising crap that I threw away. I love free stuff. This evening Mr Smaggle is taking me out for soft shell crab and plum wine at Iori our favourite Japanese restuarant. I can’t wait!

* White dress from Tree of Life

* Military vest thrifted from Salvation Army

I really need a silver convertible to go with these…

Today was really annoying. I was really busy and everyone was hell bent on irritating me. So for my outfit post this afternoon I’m wearing my ‘Get-the-hell-out-of-my-way-before-I-stab-you-with-my-Wolverine-claws’ face. Although it came out a little more Mary Poppins-esque than I would have liked. This afternoon I’m off to the gym and then to Pilates. Then I’m having dinner at my brother’s house tonight and watching Brat Camp. I can’t wait…

* White shirt thrifted at Brain Injury Foundation

* Black beaded skirt thrifted from St Vinnies

* Black leather cuff made by my friend Ben

I’m really tired and feeling a bit yucky today so I was a little unproductive at work. Still got everything done just very slowly. This afternoon I’m off to buy a bag! And pick up a DVD that I have had on hold for a million years and they keep threatening to put it back on the shelf if I don’t go in and buy it. And then I’m to spend the evening smaggling the crap out of Mr Smaggle because it’s so lovely to have him back. I reveal here what a smaggle actually is for those of you are interested…

* Tie dyed Metallicus dress from Cowboys and Angels

* Crochet vest thrifted from Salvation Army (man, I was peeing in my pants with excitement when I found this)

* Glass ring from my gay husbands Matt and Ged from the Glassworks

* Boots from Redpaths

* Head wrap from Mama Smaggle from Tasmania

* Turqoise pop-out earrings from Mr Smaggle from San Francisco

How was everyone else’s Monday? Splendid I hope!

Yesterday I went to the airport to pick up Mr Smaggle and Travel Monkey. Both arrived home safe from San Francisco and surprisingly free from jet lag. Mr Smaggle brought me home some treats too!

* Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. My favourite!

* American money. Because I like to hold big wads of it in my hands and pretend that I am Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman when the Rodeo Drive bitches are mean to her.

* Disney Princesses pins! Disney Princesses! God damn it’s nice to have a man who understands the importance of Disney Princesses.

* An Envirosax. This awesome little bag made of parachute-type material that folds up into a tiny little ball. I always forget to take my bags with me when I go shopping and this way I won’t anymore.

* These awesome pop-out earrings by Melissa Borrell. They are from her Pop-Out Collection which is insanely cool. He bought them at MoMa Design Store.

Oh and Mr Smaggle asked me to thank Tricia from BitsandBobbins for recommending WholeFoods in San Francisco. It was pretty much the only place that sold any wheat-free food and he would have starved without the advice so thanks Tricia!

I thrifted all week and didn’t find anything for the awards. So I decided to get a little experimental…

* Blue dress that I wore to a formal in year 12 (I also wore it to Melbourne Cup)

* White stretch lace fabric tied and wrapped into a top from Lincraft

* Maroon velvet ribbon from Lincraft

* Gold bouquet of flowers from Lincraft

* Chainmaille bracelet Smaggle Made

* LADY rings  from Girlprops

* Indian bracelet from Bollywood Store

* Ring from Mr Smaggle from Dubai

* Bag from my aunties warehouse

* Sandals from Marco Gianni

The event was a local theatre awards night and it was a lot less painful than I thought it would be. Although I did pack a hip flask of gin and a shit load of chocolate…

After much speculation about this bracelet I decided after yesterdays post that it was okay to wear it. I received the most amazing advice and support from gorgeous ladies through out the world and I’m feeling so very privileged to have such intelligent, respectful and insightful readers. You guys kept me smiling all day!

Today was not too busy and not too slow. Just perfect for a Friday. And it’s a real Friday for me this week because I don’t have to work tomorrow! I’m off to have coffee with some friends this afternoon which will be lovely and my delicious friend Fliss is cooking me Tofu for dinner! I LOVE TOFU!!!

* Maroon dress thrifted at Gorman House Markets

* Brown boots from Redpaths

* Bracelet from Bollywood store

* Ring from Mr Smaggle from Dubai

* Beaded ring thrifted from Trash and Treasure

* Bangles thrifted from St Vinnies

* Tiger head bangle from Mr Smaggle (Kenneth Jay Lane)

* Earrings from Ebay

What is everybody up to this weekend? Anything exciting? Oh and by the way I have abandoned the whole ‘finding something fabulous at Vinnies for the awards’ thing. I have hit up EVERY second hand store in town and came up with nothing. So I guess I’m re-vamping something old and hence I’m off to Lincraft this evening…
