Why Don’t You…?

by Carly Jacobs
Foto_decadent Why don’t you… * Wear brilliant sparkling eyeshadow and encrust your lids with tiny jewels? In turquoise and magenta gems? * Sweep your hair into a tatty mess and decorate it with brittle willow twigs? Make your head an inviting home for tiny bird friends? * Wear an extraordinary ball gown to work and bind your waist tightly with a men’s cummerbund? Pin a Christmas decoration to y Read the rest!

Facehunter in Australia.

by Carly Jacobs
Dear Facehunter, I regret to inform you that my love for you is waning. Rest assured that this has nothing to do with your artistic integrity. I think you are extraordinary. It’s far more personal than that. My heart is heavy with your betrayal and the reasons why are threefold - * You came all the way to Australia and didn’t bother to tell me. This prevented any opportunity for me to be snapped c Read the rest!

Weird mix… Daily Style

Melbourne Cup Day

by Carly Jacobs
Today was really busy. I had rehearsal all morning and then I ran quickly to my friend’s house for Melbourne Cup day lunch. We had a sweep and I won first and third prize! Then Mr Smaggle and I walked to the shops, rented a terrible DVD and got Vietnamese takeaway. I’m back at work tomorrow after a mini break and I’m really not looking forward to it… * Pants from Felt * Singlet top from Cow Read the rest!

How to be the perfect bridesmaid…

by Carly Jacobs
For those of you who read Smaggle regularly, you will know that I need to have organisation in my life. And it will come as no surprise that I put together the most essential item that every good bridesmaid needs. The Emergency Bridal Bag.

The Wedding…

by Carly Jacobs
It was spectacular. Here are a few highlights of the day… * The delicious lunch of crusty bread and fetta that we ate while drinking champagne and getting ready. * The fact that everyone laughed at me for packing mini jewellery pliers in my emergency bridesmaid’s bag and I actually used them twice. Fuckers. * The bride was calm and collected all afternoon and we weren’t late for the ceremony. * S Read the rest!
