Smaggle Gets a Long Overdue Facelift.

by Carly Jacobs
No, not me Smaggle, the blog Smaggle. You like? Believe it or not this is only the second time I’ve changed the design of Smaggle in four years. I’ve been cringing for two years now about how my blog theme is so 2008 and I’m very ready for a change. Have a little wander and let me know what you think. I spent a full day last week re-categorising my posts so you can see only my outfits or only Why Read the rest!

Gluten Free Crumpets… from a packet mix.

by Carly Jacobs
For those of you who don’t know, my man is a glutard. The poor little lamb also has a rather torturous obsession with baked goods, most of which are made from delicious and poisonous wheat. I’m pretty handy in the kitchen and can whip up some mean GF cookies and cakes but things like crumpets and pies are a little beyond my scope. Recipes for these exist but they usually require the grinding of seeds in Read the rest!

When it Comes to Romance, do Women have Double Standards?

by Carly Jacobs
Sexual harassment is a sensitive issue and one that I don’t take lightly. I think most women have experienced some form of sexual harassment in their lives, which is inexcusable. This post is not about sexual harassment though, it’s about the weird grey area of unwanted romantic advances. I had an interesting experience a few weeks ago that made me think about why some romantic behaviours will land a Read the rest!

Why Don’t You…?

by Carly Jacobs
Drink a giant glass of soda water? With heaps of ice and lime wedges? Have a Mexican night? With tacos, guacamole, corn chips, beans and sangria? Wear a boat necked striped tee? With perfectly fitting jeans and wood soled shoes? Continue reading “Why Don’t You…?” » Read the rest!

Introducing the Sydney Smaggle Correspondant – Bek Warnock.

by Carly Jacobs
As a fashion and lifestyle blogger I get invited to openings and events quite regularly. 90% of these events are in Sydney and as I’m allergic to both sunshine and fake tan, I’m unable to travel north with any regularity. All the healthy people upset me too much. However, according to my wee little statistics counter, most of my Australian readers live in Sydney, which I find unsettling. How you cope wi Read the rest!

Are You Really Available?

by Carly Jacobs
Do you ever look in your diary, see an empty space and fill it? Then see the empty spaces around those appointments and fill those? And then keep going? And going? Until you realise that you haven’t left time to wash your hair until Christmas? I do this every single October/November without fail. I fill every conceivable hour in a mad rush to fit everything in before the end of the year. My diary this week, Read the rest!

The Perfect Lunch

by Carly Jacobs
I found myself at home for lunch this Wednesday. Instead of heating up leftovers or slapping together an unappetising salad, I made up a plate of fresh tomato, deli meats and mustard. I ate it with chunks of spelt bread and a cup of rose tea. I’ve been trying to eat mindfully recently. To eat when I’m hungry and to eat what my body wants. I’m also enjoying presenting my food restaurant style. It Read the rest!
