It’s Boxing Day already here in the Southern Hemisphere and although I said yesterday that I’m taking a break from the blog it turns out that I get bored about a nano second after Christmas day is over so I’m back! 

Yesterday was rather spectacular. I woke up early, exchanged presents with Mr Smaggle (I received a new Moleskin Diary, a Morrocan tea pot and a gorgeous leather handbag that I’ve had my eye on for ages – clever boy!), and then I headed back to Mama and Daddy Smaggle for a delicious breakfast of tropical fruit salad and yogurt.  We then packed up our car and headed down the road to spend the day with my extended Smaggles.

Here is how the day panned out…

The day started off with eating homemade spring rolls under a canopy of green leaves and coloured lanterns. My cousin Tim is a bartender and dutifully stood at his make-shift bar mixing delicious icy cocktails with mangoes and strawberries. I don’t think my glass was empty for around three hours. 

Daddy Smaggle spend most of the morning cooking a christmas turkey. I swear he must have basted that bastard around thirty times. He was so proud and it was delicious!

Daily Outfit shot. I’m laughing because Daddy Smaggle was saying ‘Work it, work it baby! Work it! Own it!’

 

Christmas outfit - 

* Dress from Lair in the Canberra Centre. (I managed to squirt spring roll juice all down my front and a dirty little grub fell from a tree and left a big brown spot right on my left breast. I’m just not the type of girl that should wear white.)

* Shoes from Big W

* Bangles collected for years

* Bird decoration from Harem in Melbourne attached to a head band from Equip

We then sat down to turkey, ham, crunchy nut salad, roast vegetables and garlic! Allow me to introduce you to some of my family…

Then in the afternoon we all jumped in the pool for a few hours and our bartender continued to top up our glasses while we splashed around. At 5pm my aunty Janice (the one in red and white below) distributed caftans because according to her 5pm is caftan time. Here we all are lounging around in caftans in the afternoon sunshine… bliss!

And guess what? I get to keep my caftan! It was the best Christmas ever! 

How was yours???

Love Lady Smaggle

P.S Sorry to bore you with pictures of my family but they are just to gorgeous not to share!
