Style Icon – Nancy Cunard

by Carly Jacobs
A few weeks ago I quite innocently did a post on 1920′s style that caused quite a stir with my friend Na. She screamed (wrote in capitals) ‘NANCY CUNARD! NANCY CUNARD!’. She linked to some photos. And now I’m obsessed. Nancy Cunard came from a well to do family but rejected the ideals of the elitest society she was born into. She was a socialite and socialist, writer and poet and eventu Read the rest!

Weekend Away – Daily Style

by Carly Jacobs
This weekend Mr Smaggle and I went to Thredbo. It’s a posh little snow village about two hours drive from Canberra. You know the kind of place – lots of babies wearing designer shoes (I never understood the point of that seeing as they CAN’T WALK) and everywhere you go you’re either dodging a BMW or a bleached blonde soccer mum with a fistful of acrylic nails. Nonetheless it is absolutely be Read the rest!

How to hide that Easter Jiggle…

by Carly Jacobs
If you’re anything like me then the chocolate consumption at Easter time will always start well before the marked day. For almost a week leading up to the main choc-exchange there are a few warm up nibbles and slowly but surely you start replacing balanced meals with Cadbury Creme Eggs and Mallow Bunnies. This means one thing and one thing only. Jiggly belly town. It’s pretty much a given that Read the rest!

Double Up – Daily Style

by Carly Jacobs
What lucky little chickens you are! Double the daily style! This is what happens when I actually go out at night instead of wearing my delightfully saggy trackies around the house. Last night Mr Smaggle and I went to the most decadent restaurant and had a mouth watering banquet to celebrate our 2 year anniversary. I’m not overly interested in food - I generally just eat when I am hungry and I usually don Read the rest!

Virgo Day – Daily Style

by Carly Jacobs
Today was the most Virgo-esque day I’ve had in ages. I cleared out all my old folders, made new ones and shredded. Yes. Shredded. I adore the feeling of finality that comes with shredding. It gives me a pathetic little power kick. This afternoon I’m off to buy food because carton soup just won’t cut it two days in a row. Tonight I have the house all to myself so I’m going to watch bad T.V a Read the rest!

Canned Style

by Carly Jacobs
Does everyone remember my promise of last week? I said I was going to show you something that comes in a can and is just as good as the ones you find in Europe? Was the clue a little too cryptic? Well all is about to be explained. Welcome to the magical world of Canned Style! I’ve been surfing street style blogs for years now and I have developed a serious obsession with Finnish, Norwegian and German street s Read the rest!

Myo Designs

by Carly Jacobs
On Saturday I had lunch with my lovely friend Taë who is studying jewellery design at NMIT in Melbourne. She gave me a belated birthday present and I swear I nearly peed in my pants when I saw them. They are oxidised propeller earrings. That actually spin. Wearing your hair up is essential (otherwise they get tangled) but it’s a small price to pay. The engineering in these earrings is spectacular. I wish I Read the rest!

Weekend – Daily Style

by Carly Jacobs
Seriously. My awesome-ness astounds me sometimes. I’m actually posting a proper outfit shot ON A SUNDAY!!! It’s a whole new level of Smaggle commitment. Lets see if I can keep this up. I also like the paparazzi type photo Mr Smaggle took. It makes me look all famous. I’ve had such a lovely weekend – Yesterday I organised my earrings (O.C.D Town. Population: Lady Smaggle) and met my delicio Read the rest!

Happy Friday – Daily Style

by Carly Jacobs
I’m smiling today because it’s Friday! And it’s a real Friday for me because I don’t have to work on Saturday this week! Yay! I also managed to get everything all caught up at work and being the anal-retentive Virgo that I am I get to leave work with a clean desk and a clear head. Bliss face. This evening I’m going home to get all prettied up and then I’m going out for dinner a Read the rest!
