Daily Style – Crisp white and denim

by Carly Jacobs
  I had to black and white today’s photo because this shirt, as beautiful and virginal as it was when I left the house this morning is now covered with copper filings and dust. Sigh… the one thing I miss about working in an office is the ability to keep clean all day.  * Jeans from Jag * Shirt from Cowboys and Angels (Canberra people… where do you shop now? I was so devastated when this stor Read the rest!

Lady’s loves and loathes…

by Carly Jacobs
Lady loves… * Fete season. Fairy floss, White Elephant stalls, chocolate wheels… there’s nothing like a Saturday in the sunshine eating snow cones and buying vintage Vogues.  * This Greek lady at school who keeps bringing paper wrapped sweets to class. Buttery biscuits with jam inside and wafer cylinders filled with cream. I have a diet rule that if something is from another country and I’ Read the rest!

Daily Style – Another dirty outfit.

by Carly Jacobs

by Carly Jacobs
I’m going to try to post more outfit shots of my ‘everyday’ wardrobe. This is what I wear when I don’t mind getting dirty. Like today… I know I LOOK clean but I am covered in apple juice, mud and about a thousand wet sneezes… yummy.  * Dress from Cowboys and Angels (RIP – sob!) in Canberra * Tights from Big W * Boots from Redpath in Canberra * Cardigan from Giodanno * Obi Read the rest!

Have a Rant Monday – Micro Management

by Carly Jacobs
Image Many of you know that I am an aspiring  jeweller/actor/designer/writer/Queen of the Universe and the ‘aspiring’ part of that title requires me to have an actual job where I earn actual money. This job is teaching kids with special needs and I kind of freaking love it.  I’m a relief teacher so I tend to do the rounds of my local area and I was at a school today that just happened to have a Read the rest!

I’ve resisted doing a post on this because I think it’s really boring but it’s one of the things I love reading about the most on other blogs, being the perverted voyer that I am, and I assume the same goes for my whacky readers. So here goes… A visual diary of a day in the life Lady Smaggle’s bodR Read the rest!

How to make a necklace out of laddered stockings and tights – take 2!

by Carly Jacobs
After the success of my first stocking necklace tutorial I have had several requests for more DIYs. After seeing the Degas exhibition in Canberra I was inspired by this painting to make a necklace that ties around the neck leaving a bow.  Here is the finished piece… First I cut the toes off a pair of old tights and cut down the sides to open them up.  Then I drew a flower template on cardboard and traced Read the rest!
