How to steal the style of Betty and Veronica

by Carly Jacobs
Confession time. I’m a big, huge, MASSIVE B&V fan. When I was young, I was this chubby little girl with braces and a lisp and I would skip into second hand comic book stores with a pocket full of coins and spend all the money I had in the world on those glorious fashion chronicles. I really only read them for the fashion. It’s all you have when you’re eight years old and too innocent for Read the rest!

This is yesterday’s outfit. Mr Smaggle and I went shopping for a friend’s birthday present then we went to a nursery to shop for indoor plants.

Dopey Fashion Poses – Daily Style

by Carly Jacobs
Everyone has to watch this little vid from everybodyisugly about dopey fashion poses. It’s hilarious. I’m doing the ‘Menstrual Cramps’ for my daily outfit shot. Today has been the BEST DAY EVER! Simply because a teacher that I work with found a gorgeous wrap lying on the back of a chair. She said it had been there for two weeks and that it looked like something I would wear and that I Read the rest!

Pearls and a scarf – Daily Style

by Carly Jacobs
I’m a teeny tiny bit annoyed with myself today. I was supposed to go to a spin class at lunch time but I decided not to go and ate a lot of crackers instead. This afternoon I’m off shopping for hair product (preferably a magic serum that will stop me looking like a downy baby duck) and boring basics like plain cotton t-shirts and underwear. Then Mr Smaggle and I off to see The Dark Knight Batman m Read the rest!

The Pressures of Blogging – Are we bordering on obsession?

by Carly Jacobs
  Photo Can everyone feel that dull rumble beneath their feet? Yeah, It’s the riots starting to break out amongst the blogosphere from the earth shattering news that the uber quirky and ridiculously adorable LC from Fops and Dandies is quitting her blog. I know. She’s a selfish cow right? This is just how I felt when Style Bytes left me. I am plotting ways to find LC in the Midwest and stalk her u Read the rest!

What you need right now…

by Carly Jacobs
Wow. That title sounded so Vogue didn’t it? ‘Here’s heaps of weird shiny shit that costs thousands of dollars that you need to own or your family will abandon you!’. Not quite. Here is some lovely stuff I’m having a hankering for… chunky beaded necklaces. Obviously. I just think that my life would be so much better if I owned more chunky beaded necklaces. I love them in neutr Read the rest!

Skeleton Necklace – Daily Style

by Carly Jacobs
Today was super busy again but Browny and I managed to take a quick break and go thrifting at lunch time. I found a super cute dress that fits really well but they were charging $20 for it! It was from a cheap chain store and wouldn’t have cost much more than that in the first place. I questioned it and the counter volunteer said that that was the price. So I refused to buy it. And just as I was about to Read the rest!
