Daily Style – What do you not put on your blog?

by Carly Jacobs
This is me at home. In an old cotton dress, a delicious warm wrap, smeared makeup and a band aid on my toe… I don’t wear tracksuit pants unless I’m exercising. This dress is my tracksuit pants equivalent. What about you? What do you wear at home? If you’re a blogger I challenge you to post a photo of what you wear at home, to the gym, in the garden, etc. An outfit that you wouldn’t o Read the rest!

If I ever meet him I’m going to touch him in his special place. * Eyeliah, if you ever get sick of that dress I know someone who could give it a really good home… just putting it out there. *These leather necklaces at the Coveted are giving me serious DIY hankerings… * Awesome celebrity mug shots over at Cat Party.

Lady’s loves and loathes…

by Carly Jacobs
Etsy Lady loves… * Writing blog posts in a blank work email template so that when someone walks past it looks like I’m very busy and important. In my first year as a teacher I had a decoy handbag and a cardigan at work that I would leave over the back of my chair so no one would know that I left work after my last class and they would assume I was photocopying or  curing cancer or something. I got aw Read the rest!

Ask Lady Smaggle

by Carly Jacobs
There’s some weird stuff going on in my blog stats and I’m thinking that Cleo is responsible. I have had like, a bajillion people find my site through typing the address in the search bar. This never happens. So I figure I have quite a few new readers on my hands who are probably wondering what the hell I’m on about. So for one week, new and old readers can ask me ANY questions that you want and Read the rest!

Why don’t you…?

by Carly Jacobs
Image Why don’t you… * Make little pom-pom shoe clips to jazz up your favourite heels? Clip them to the toes? The heels? The ankle straps? Just wear one? Or both but in different places? * Drink green tea all day? From a dainty cup and saucer? * Ditch all packaging in your kitchen? Replace unsighlty boxes and bags with mis-matched glass jars? For cereal? Rice? Lentils? Re-use condiment jars and bottles Read the rest!

Daily Discoveries…

by Carly Jacobs
Image from Once Wed Via Breaking Curfew * Americans have too many bridesmaids. I’m planning a wedding with my bestie this year (hers, not mine) and through my research I’ve discovered that the majority of American weddings have around nine or ten attendants. Australian weddings barely stretch to four most of the time. Is this an unfair assumption? Can I get a survey going? Have you had or been a part Read the rest!

Lady’s loves and loathes…

by Carly Jacobs
Etsy Lady loves… * Spontaneously getting wasted with Mamma Smaggle on a work night. * My cousin, who has the EXACT same taste in literature as me, handing me a stack of perfect books to read. FYI our taste goes along the lines of pulpy, trashy real life reads with a very heavy slant towards serial killers. * Mr Smaggle fixing my bike. I can’t wait to go for a ride around the lake this afternoon. * Veg Read the rest!

Back working with Browny… can you tell? Her photography is so distinctive. It’s lovely to be back sharing our salads, sending each other stupid emails and allocating each other hideous ‘boyfriends’ as we walk around campus… * Shorts from Country Road – I’m almost regretting this purchase. I need to stop forcing pants. * Top thrifted in Melbourne * Shoes thrifted in Canberr Read the rest!
