Bunny Ears – Daily Style

by Carly Jacobs
Roomy Smaggle has a few funny quirks that I find endlessly amusing. Like boiling eggs and putting them back in the fridge with the un-boiled ones. Another is that she likes to clean the apartment wearing bunny ears. On this sunny Friday I have much washing and cleaning to do… so I decided to frock up and clean in style. Wearing bunny ears. * Dress from Myer around 10 years ago.  * Lace stretch belt from S Read the rest!

Doing it Cheap in Melbourne – The Tight-Arse Guide To Living

by Carly Jacobs
Photo Okay so we all know that I’m broke at the moment because I don’t stop bitching about it but the truth is I’m learning to live bloody cheaply here in this big old city. Here are a few things working for me… * The Queen Victoria Markets – I go every Sunday and buy fruit, vegetables and meat. I rarely spend over $15 and I have everything I need for a full week.  * A big mofo vege Read the rest!

Early Mark – Daily Style

by Carly Jacobs
Today I got up at 5.30am to drive Mr Smaggle to the airport. I then went to school, drew a couple of REALLY bad ring designs and now I’m watching 90210 before I start sending my desperate job hunting emails of the day. Woot.  * Tights from DFO in Canberra (these are awesome! They are from the Table Eight outlet and are really thick stocking-like tights. I love them a lot.) * Boots from Red Paths in Canberra Read the rest!

Sweet Melbourne Sunday – Daily Style

by Carly Jacobs
Today was my first really awesome typical Melbourne day. After staying at Co-Dependent Smaggle’s awesome new apartment for a wine and pasta sleepover we woke up this morning and went to the Queen Vic Markets. It was awesome. Then we hit up this fabulous asian supermarket and stocked up on some funky asian treats. Tonight we are heading to Oadie’s for his famous roast. Delish!  * Scrunchy Sass and Bide Read the rest!

What turns you on in the opposite sex?

by Carly Jacobs
Photo Don’t be dirty! I’m referring purely to physical appearance. The other day I was watching TV and this image of Leonardo Dicaprio circa Titanic flashed across the screen. My heart leapt to my throat and I got a wee little tingle in my nether-regions. Twelve year old Lady Smaggle had a serious Leo addiction that lasted a good four years and still rears its love-struck head occasionally. This fix Read the rest!

Lady Loves and Loathes

by Carly Jacobs
etsy Lady Loves * Potato and leek soup and a glass of red wine on windy Melbourne nights. * Watching Roomy Smaggle and Oadie (Co-Dependent Smaggle’s housemate) whip eggs with a beater jammed in an electric drill. We were having a pavlova emergency so our boyfriend (Oadie is the collective faux boyfriend of myself, Roomy Smaggle and Co-Dependent Smaggle) compensated by making this hybrid drill/beater. It was Read the rest!

Good bad day – Daily Style

by Carly Jacobs
Yesterday was good and bad. I made my first ring at school (good), got a rejection email (bad), visited my friends at lunch (good), had to drive home to check that Roomy Smaggle hadn’t left the iron on (bad), had Underbelly Night (good), ate too much food (bad). I really must fly though because I’m running late for school. I’m actually running late on purpose because I’m trying to figure ou Read the rest!
