A little peak inside my scrapbooks…

by Carly Jacobs
I’m an absolute magazine junky. As you found out from this post, my first job was working in a newsagent. Obviously this is where the obsession started. Even though I love magazines, I hate piles of them sitting around my house. When my magazine piles get too much, I get crafty. I have four scrapbooks on the go at the moment, as well as several archived ones. My main categories are Jewellery, Fashion/Beauty, Read the rest!

Wearing – the oldest dress that I own and my Dubious Boots.

by Carly Jacobs
* Dress from that tacky shop on Swanston St in Melbourne. Bought around ten years ago. * Tights from Myer * Cardigan from Valley Girl * Scarf from Dotti * Sunglasses from Shades Daddy * Earrings from Bijoux jewellers in Canberra * Boots from Joanne Mercer. I call these my Dubious Boots because I’m very dubious as to whether or not… a) they go with anything b) they are in any way flattering c) I like th Read the rest!

by Carly Jacobs
Dawn and Tim on The Office Christmas Special Vivienne and Edward in Pretty Woman Josie and Sam in Never Been Kissed Vada and Thomas J in My Girl Sarah and Karl in Love Actually These aren’t by any means the best ever screen kisses, just ones that make me smile.

What Bad Habits Would You Like to Magically Stop?

by Carly Jacobs
Just before I moved to Melbourne I had drinks with a girl that I went to high school with. We used to be really close, so it was lovely catching up with her. Mid conversation she made a disgusted face and said ‘Ew… oh my god… I can’t believe you’re still doing that!‘ I had cracked my knuckles. And I didn’t even realise I’d done it. Clearly I’ve been doing this Read the rest!

Coffee break time?

by Carly Jacobs
  Leek and Blue Cheese Bruschetta Toasts from Kyla Roma. Drool. And while I’m on the topic of food… peach cake anyone? Tilda Swinton on the cover of W. Sweet pancakes, that woman is preternaturally beautiful. A rabbit wearing a Hawaiian shirt on The Selby. Seriously. Fred Butler + Bubble = Rad. This is one of the best passive aggressive notes I’ve seen. Seriously though, don’t touch hi Read the rest!

I’m in a play. Perhaps you should come and see it.

by Carly Jacobs
  I totally forgot to tell you guys that I’m in a play. When? 26th to 30th July at 8pm. Where? Studio 246, 246A Sydney Road, Brunswick, Melbourne How much? $10. Also there’s $5 beer at the bar. You love it. Tickets on sale at the door. Why should I go and see it? Because it’s funny. And I play three different characters, including an Indian man. Totes value for money. It would be ace to ha Read the rest!

Eternal Safari/Sebastian’s Sister. Canberra Designers Rock.

by Carly Jacobs
How Eternal Safari and Sebastian’s Sister have never clocked on my radar is beyond me, but the universe has been bitch slapping me with them in the last week and I’m loving it. The design team first caught my eye on Her Canberra when Capital Thread captured them looking too cool for the Can at CIT in Reid. Then, on a recent jaunt to the ACT, I found myself in Department of the Exterior (my FAVOURITE Ca Read the rest!

What was your first job? What was your worst job?

by Carly Jacobs
I’ve been reading Fat Mum Slim’s ebook today (which is all kinds of delicious) and she mentioned that her first job was slicing bread in a bakery. How bizarre. I can’t imagine her doing that at all. I’m a total gossip and I love knowing little things like this about my readers so I wanted to ask you the following questions! What was Your First Job? What was Your Worst Job? What’s the Read the rest!
