I have had heaps of readers asking for me to wear the stocking necklace from my tutorial so here it is in action! I have been so stupidly busy today and I feel like my face is going to explode. I’m off to make a huge mess in the kitchen tonight with Mars Bar slice and clay! Not at the same time obviously…
* Dress thrifted
* Tights from Coles
* Long cardigan from Cotton On
* Vivienne Westwood for Melissa shoes
* Stocking necklace Smaggle Made

Hello my little loves! This is an apology email for being such a bad blogger. Look at my little sorry face! I’ve just been crazy busy with work and life and in order for me to get enough sleep to function I’ve been a little slack on the blog. It’s turned into a very outfit-heavy blog and that was not my original intention! Anyways I went for a little cruise through the Smaggle archives and dug out a few posts that I thought you might be interested in. It will keep you occupied until I can remove my head from my arse and start writing decent posts again…

Hello my darlings! Sorry to have been away from you all for so long but I had a mega crazy weekend. Between working on Saturday and nursing several employees through a myriad of traumas I was too exhausted to dress well so I slobbed around all weekend in maxi dresses and granny cardigans. It wasn’t pretty. I also had a lovely dinner date with Mr Smaggle, patted a teeny tiny smaggly little rabbit who I nearly squished to death because he was so cute, played some Mario Kart and fashioned a guitar string into a bracelet for my friend’s new lady. It was a super cute idea so I’m thinking of exploring some guitar string jewellery options… I’ll keep you posted!
* 2 pairs of opaque tights from Coles. I can’t find tights that are warm or thick enough so I’ve been doubling up. I’m now too scared to wear single pairs because I feel so toasty with my tights to the power of two.
* Short sleeve trench from Valley Girl. I know that this style was slammed through out the blogosphere but I tried it on and felt so deliciously sporty that I couldn’t resist the purchase. I’m feeling so Lil’ Kim right now… I’m seriously resisting the urge start crumping on my desk.
* Vivienne Westwood for Melissa mary janes. The love affair continues dispite the fact that I gauged a big chunk out of the side of the left one on some of Daddy Smaggles plumbing gear that he left in the driveway. It was a blessing in disguise really because you can’t relax into precious new shoes until you’ve scuffed them up a bit. I feel the honeymoon period is over and we can sink into a blissful and steady romance.
* Earrings from Girlprops
* Three antique watches thrifted
* Sunglasses from Groove - These cost $2 and I freakin love them!
How have you been? How was your weekend? Oh I’ve missed you all SO MUCH!!!

This was the probing question that was asked over at Fashion Nation this morning. To answer Stephie’s question… I want to look like this girl please…
I want to be metabolically slim with tousled hair and a supernatural ability to wear nothing but muted tones without looking like the walking dead. Super long legs and a wardrobe full of some serious shoe chunk would also help me out. If you want to visit this impossibly cool lady here is her blog That’s Just my Vibe. I’ll warn you though her level of coolness is like an eclipse. So don’t look directly at her lest she blind you.

Today is one of those days where I thought my outfit looked awesome this morning but now that I have taken my daily outfit shot I think that I look like a midget emo clown. This afternoon I’m off for happy hour drinks and then Mr Smaggle and I are going to have deep and intellectually stimulating conversations… while playing Mario Kart.
* Black opaques x 2 from Coles. I’m super toasty today!
* Skirt from Valley Girl
* Black mini dress worn as top from Cowboys and Angels
* Bow belt from a musical I was in
* Scrabble ‘Lady’ necklace from Groglmann
* Three broken antique watches

Just a few things I’m loving today…
Coco gives us a peak at Corine Roitfeld’s wardrobe and she’s one stylish lady. Well, she is the editor of French Vogue.
Fops and Dandies reads Frankie! Ah!
The Clothes Horse doodles on her laptop. As in on the actual laptop. Awesome.
Pandora recreates John William Waterhouse’s ‘The Lady of Shallot’… it’s breathtaking. This one is for Mama Smaggle.
The Coilhouse tells us how they are banning Emo and Goth from public life in Russia. Whaaaa…?
Oh and I discovered Outsapop this gorgeous Finnish trash designer who linked to me on her blog. Seriously check out her site it’s awesome. Susie Bubble did it too! Does this mean I’m famous now…?

I had a quiet day yesterday so at lunch time I decided to Facebook stalk some of my friends and click on THEIR friends who don’t have private profiles. Don’t act all shocked and like it’s a violation of their privacy. Anyone with a public Facebook profile is promoting the act of stalking if you ask me. Anyway 90% of everyone’s photos were made up of formal pics and 21st celebrations. After flicking through one too many pictures of orange girls in generic sparkly gowns I’ve realised that most evening wear is hideous. Plain, strapless dresses that don’t fit correctly and are decorated with some kind of lame ruching and sparkle. There is usually a colour theme as well. At my formal it was blue and green with silver accessories or a plain black dress with red accessories. Yawn. I’ve decided that I’m too young to be out of the formal game so I’m going to hang around on the senior lawns of some local boys schools and try to get a cute 18 year old to ask me to be his date. Or else I’ll just bully one of my younger cousins into taking me. Either way I’m going to need a reason to wear one of Eli Saab’s black and white cinematic formal gowns…
This collection reminds of Eliza Doolittle’s ascot dress… it might be a little bit much for a summer school formal but I would still consider it. Although I might want a bigger hat…

Today a lady I work with said to me ‘Now I noticed something yesterday and I thought it must have been an accidental anomaly but today I can see again that you’re wearing three watches. So… what’s the deal with that?’. I replied that all of them are broken and that I think they are pretty and want to wear them anyway. She slowly nodded and smiled at me as if she had the men in white coats waiting for me outside the door ready to shove me into a straight jacket. What did she mean ‘accidental anomaly’? Like as if I was out today thinking ‘Damn I’m such an idiot! I put three broken watches on AGAIN! Geez… what are the odds of that happening two days in a row hey?’. And yes I know it’s shocking but sometimes I wear jeans. That was another comment I received in abundance today.

Remember how upset I was a few days ago when I discovered all the fanny addicts out there who have been Googling their filth and stumbling upon Smaggle? Well my friends here’s a list of some other choice phrases that will apparently lead you to the land of Smaggle…
Crush on tim curry why? - Um… Because he is awesome and talented. And preternaturally beautiful.
Big Ass 2008 - So big asses in 2007 just weren’t doing it for you?
Katie Price in stockings - We don’t like Katie Price. Please don’t Google her again.
Tampons with applicators in Australia - Good luck sweetie. We use normal tampons here thank you very much.
Doosh long cardigan - It’s douche. And it’s not a good idea to use a long cardigan for that sort of thing. Or a short one.
Scene where samantha is fat in sex in t - This scene doesn’t exist.
lady seduce boy - Why? What have you heard about me?
Can’t find spot for tampon - I can’t help you. Actually I don’t want to help you. Please go away.
Anne Hathaway Nipples -Anne Hathaway. Shmeh. It’s nothing personal she is just really boring. I imagine that her nipples are too.
Wee little bum - What exactly were you hoping to come across searching for this?
I clearly have to brush up on my language… and stop using the word ‘fanny’. Shit. I just did it again. I’m insatiable.
