I’ve been thinking for a while that Smaggle is getting a little stale, design wise. Just over a year ago I randomly chose a plain looking theme for my blog and never got around to changing it. Mr Smaggle felt sorry for me and designed a whole new site for lil’ ol Lady Smaggle. Bless!
To commemorate the launch of my new site I want to meet every one of my readers. I’m so curious about your lives, loves and why you read Smaggle. My readers are the reason why I do this so please do introduce yourself.
I would love to know…
1. Your name
2. Your age
3. Where you are from
4. Your dress size
5. Why you read Smaggle
6. What you would like to see more of on Smaggleย
I would love for any blog lurkers to come out of the shadows and say hello and regular commenters are especially encouraged to start the ball rolling. Feel free to ask any questions and make requests for posts. If you are too shy to leave a comment please do email me at lady(at)smagglestyle.com
The new design is a work in progress but I’ll keep you updated on any blog news.ย
I’d like to take thisย opportunityย to thank everyone who reads my blog. It means so much to me that people take the time out of their busy lives to read my little rants and crazy opinions. It’s very humbling when I think about how many people are actually reading Smaggle everyday. It makes me really happy. Every day. So thank you so much for sharing that with me… it makes me all teary!
Love Lady Smaggle

Hulo Lady Smaggle!
I’ve been stalking your site from work for quite some time and I just wanted to say that I love it!
You’re adorable, quirky, and seem like a ton of fun…I wish I lived closer than in sunny California because I bet we’d get along fabulously ๐

Oooh I’m making the first comment tomorrow (still the 23rd here)
1. Your name
E
2. Your age
50
3. Where you are from
England
4. Your dress size
Depends on where the clothes are from (shop/era)
16-20 UK5. Why you read Smaggle
Eye candy/head candy.
I love the mixture of creativity, femininity, opinion and a big ole shovel load of common sense. And Lady Smaggle has lovely manners, is a stunner and writes beautifully.6. What you would like to see more of on Smaggle
I like it just fine as is – but I’d like to see the Phantom Found Alannah Hill Wrap because I love reading about people’s unbelievably good swag experiences – thrifting treasure makes my day. I completely love the Trends category and the rolly-over effect on the buttons …. also Pommy Ribbonator made me tea-snort.

1. Your name
Sian, but otherwise known as Kitty
2. Your age
32
3. Where you are from
Sydney, but currently Las Vegas
4. Your dress size
Hmmmm. I’m going with 14. But anywhere between a 12 and a 16 depending on cut and fit (and material). And what day of the week it is. It’s never an easy question to answer, is it?
5. Why you read Smaggle
Lady Smaggle is a creative, funny, wonderfully erudite young lass, with a wonderful sense of fashion and a sly wit. She writes brilliantly and is always entertaining. She shows everyone that fashion isn’t just about couture and spending money – it’s about individual expression.
6. What you would like to see more of on Smaggle
Like the previous commenter, I like it just fine as it is. It’s a happy mix of fashion, social commentary and general happy (sometimes not so) life musings. I wouldn’t change a thing (although my boss would probably like me to snort my tea less when I read it in the mornings).

I am Rachael.
Aged 19, in London.
Size 12-14.
I read Smaggle because I came across it randomly and I love your pictures, style of writing, havarant monday and your hair.
There’s not really anything else I’d like to see, maybe some more street style so we can get more of a feel of the style down under?x

5. your wit and great style sense. most of the blogs i read religiously, i read due to the persons way of writing. also smaggle is not the same as all of the other blogs of girls who, although are fashionable, all follow the same trends and all fit a size 0. i am tall and have boobs and eat so i love seeing someone who is hot and looks like most women do with such a great blog!
6. just keep doing your thang!

– You have great style, you’re sassy, and I love that you aren’t a 5’10” 15 year old blogger buying clothes with your parents money. AKA- you’re REAL and relatable!6. What you would like to see more of on Smaggle
– Keep doing what you’re doing! -
I love the new look! Especially the top bit which changes into colour when you hover. Alright, here is me answering the questions:
1. Leah, 2. 17, 3. Birmingham, England
4. I’m a UK 12 normally, but I’m adamant that dress sizes are fictional creations – there is no way everyone has exactly the same measurements, they are just used to help designers/manufacturers. (and besides, they aren’t even “standard” – it varies so much from shop to shop)
5. I’ve only just starting reading it (the past week or so) but I guess because you seem like a very self aware person, witty & errm… you have lovely hair!
6. Honestly, I couldn’t say as I’ve only been reading for a short while. -

5. First thing to catch my eye was your curly dark hair, just like mine (well, mine is longer, curlier and maybe more to a dark chocolate shade…). Second was the fact that you are one of the only bloggers right now that do not wear a size 4-, and add to that a big YAY! And, of course, the pristine writing and nice pics!
6. More of the same, please!

I’m Nicole, 20 years old, from Buffalo, NY, who wears between a 6-10 (US) depending on wherever the clothes are from. I read Smaggle because I feel like if we were to meet we’d be good friends; as in, you’re funny and honest and intelligent and beautiful and fashionable and quirky! I love Smaggle as-is, don’t change a thing. Although the new layout is exquisite, good job Mr. Smaggle!

Age 23
From Indiana, living in New Mexico
Generally a size 6— but sizes are awfully arbitrary
I read Smaggle because I love eyeballing Lady Smaggle’s wardrobe and personal style. I also like it when she divulges personal details, allowing me to live vicariously and feel like I KNOW her.
I like the blog as it stands, obviously, but I’d have to say wardrobe photos are my favorite part. If Lady Smaggle suddenly started posting vegan recipes, that would also rock. =)

Hi.
I’ve been reading your blog for only a few weeks, and I am a huge blog lurker, I never post comments, but I love your blog so much I decided I had to give it a go!
Name-Andie
Age-17
From-Atascadero, Ca (AKA boring hick craptown, usa)
Dress size-2
Why I read this blog- It has a little bit of everything I love. DIY, rants, fashion, and a great personal-ness to it that makes it so entertaining. You’re very witty, I want to emulate your perfectly quirky style, and you have short dark curly hair like me! (Honestly that’s what drew me to your blog in the first place)
What I’d like to see more of- Not sure, everything seems just lovely to me! -
1. Sally McGraw
2. 31
3. Minneapolis, MN
4. All. I shit you not. Everything from US4 to US10
5. I read you because your daily style inspires me and makes me question pulling the same old standbys out the closet each morning. But also because, when you take on a topic of interest, you write with passion and intelligence and insight.
6. I’d like to hear more of your thoughts about body image, see a few more how-tos, and just generally read your ramblings on life. Like I said, the daily outfits are inspirational … but I adore your writing. Even gave you a little award for it over the weekend, if you didn’t yet see!

The site looks AMAZING!!

Happy Birthday! And congrats on the new site design – simple and easy on the eye.
I’m: a) Penny; b) 26; c) Canberra; d) 12ish; e) extremely entertaining, I admire your sense of style, and that you’re a regular blogger; f) I think you’ve already got a great blog.
I also have to mention ( I’m a wee bit embarrassed by this) that I saw you at the Canberra Centre a while ago and got what I can only describe as a mild case of star strike, like when I see a local newsreader in Woolworths or something. : )

Bel, 25 yrs, from NZ (this feels like an AA meeting, haha). I wear about a size 12, but am tall with boobs and, as some others have mentioned, this can be problematic when most clothes seem to come out of cookie-cutters with no regard for the female form!
I have been lurking thus far, but I like reading Smaggle because you update regularly with a variety of personal & personable fashion/style focussed content without being as vacuous or vain as some other blogs tend to be…!!
Keep on truckin’ lady XXX

Name: Dr. Stumpy
Age: 29
Where I from: Canberra (but didn’t realise how international smaggle readers area)
Dress size: 12-14 (and some need the hem taken up)
Why I read smaggle: originally as a daily break from writing my thesis, but now I enjoy the social commentary, styling and reminder that there a lot of very cool place, people, stuff to do see/ experience in Canberra. A lot of people, (including myself) can be a little tough on the old โberra โ but if you stop whinging (sp?) and get off your butt and get out and look for it there are many interesting ways to spend your time.
What I what to see on smaggle: guest appearances -

1. Sara
2. A hideous 29 and 3/4.
3. Brisbane, Queensland
4. Depends who’s selling, 12/14/16. Never “one size fits all”.
5. For your *real person* style, versatility, thriftiness and uncanny knack of blogging about topics that can keep me and my girlfriends talking for hours. Then there’s the shared love for coloured tights, whimsical accessories and rants.
6. As a business-y chick, I’d love to see more style ideas for us who are condemned to rigid corporate (read: conservative) dress codes. Oh, and maybe a DIY Marni-esque neckpiece sometime in the future to help me avoid showing my visa card too much attention…

4. Your dress size: 8-10
5. Why you read Smaggle: I started reading when I moved over here – I didn’t have a clue where to look for clothes and so I searched for Aus based blogs to help me get a bit of an idea about stuff over here. I kept reading cus I like the mix of things you post. Not just pictures of clothes, but your commentary and rants. I like the variety!
6. What you would like to see more of on Smaggle: Can’t think of anything specific!

Lexi – Oh you clicked out of reader? That’s some serious commitment!
Amanda – That’s totally legitimate! I read all my blogs through reader.
Stacey – Ha ha thanks!
Melissa – I’m totally the same! I love reading all other people’s lives!
Bel – Ah see I actually am quite vain. But it’s good that I manage to hide it so well. ๐
Liz – That’s where the name smaggle came from! It’s a cross between a snuggle and a smash.
Fifi – He is isn’t he? I am camera shy! But I’m working on it…
Emily Kate – Yeah I don’t always put my pictures on Flickr anymore but I do love wardrobe remix
Hayley – I’m thinking about doing some blog reviews. I have so many favourites. I’m glad you still read Smaggle even though you don’t always agree with me!
Nadist – I knew I could count on you! Oh no! I promise to put spoiler alerts on them in the future… Maybe you should just skip all the 90120 posts until you get it in New Zealand.
Nik – I’m trying to get over my camera shyness with that. It’s really hard asking people if you can take their photo!
Cupcake185 – Is this Cupcake cupcake? Are you only 19? With all those mini-cupcakes? Wow how awesome are you? And Mr Smaggle got plenty of smooches for his handy work.
Showa59 – Oh my gosh thank you so much! What lovely things to say. Mr Smaggle is still a little shy but I’m thinking of maybe hiding him in here on the weekend… stay stuned!
Claire – Whoo hoo! Canberra again! Hell yeah!
Emily – Aw fatty boom batty. You’re so fat! (this is oomalay right?)
Hannah – DIY is obviously the popular choice!
Dr Stumpy – Oh yeah. Canberra town. And guest appearances… as in Roberts on spring florals??? And yes. Yes I do look nudie.
Josephine – Why thank you! My surgeon is a genius. Ah! That’s awesome – I totally love comments so keep them coming.
Mer – I totally dress better knowing that I have to blog about it. I also don’t wear exactly the same thing twice anymore. As for auditions it depends. I usually go for all black in a shape that matches the character. And I always do hair and make up that would suit the part I’m auditioning for. Not too obvious though… the power of suggestion is what you want to work with.
Anna – A hoot! I love it! Awesome!

I think I’ve mostly been a lurker so here I am out in the open (can’t remember if maybe I did a little french translation the other day?)
Name โ Kerces does fine on the net but if I notice you round the Canberra music/theatre scene I’ll introduce myself properly.
Age โ 23
I am from Canberra but have been on the south coast for the best part of two years and am just back โ this week!
Dress size โ 10-12
I found Smaggle via Canberra’s Got Style and stayed cos of the way you manage to put together outfits and make them work. Most of the time I try crazy stuff I look in the mirror and ask who I’m kidding. Or spend all day feeling terribly self-conscious.
I like Smaggle as it is โ I love the daily outfit shots and am amused by your rants (and pointed the riotact at the toilet one the other week…) and, yes. wonderful.

5. Why I read Smaggle: I only came across Smaggle in the last couple of months (followed a link from another blog) and I love your daily style shots (what dedication), rants and observations. It actually took me a while to realise you were from Canberra, I was so convinced you lived in Melbourne for some reason. It’s amazing how Canberra people unconsciously disregard Canberra as a city devoid of style, which is not completely true.
6. More DIYs, always fun! But apart from that I wouldn’t change anything, awesome blog. I can’t believe you have only been writing it for a year! Really amazing.

6. What you would like to see more of on Smaggle : I love your anecdotes about those who make you mad. Your tone is insightful, intelligent and witty. I love those qualities in writing that is just about mundane happenings. You take an event and make it comedic.

I started tuning in daily and now I can’t wait every morning to come in to work and see what awaits me in my RSS Feeds inbox! Your style is totally different from my own, but I LOVE seeing what you wear and how you pull things together. I confess I don’t shop often at thrift stores or Target, but reading about all the great things you find, I am becoming a convert. Mainly I love reading Smaggle Style because you’re bloody funny!
6. I’d love to hear more of your 90210 recaps. I was a die hard BH 90210 fan back in the day, and I crack up remembering it all through your words. Although it seems Perth is now an episode behind everywhere else because it wasn’t on this past Monday… That might be a problem.

(just have to add, that I don’t know why but for me was surpisingly to find out you are a tall person, because from the pictures you looked for me rather a shorter gal(may be ’cause of shorter skirts?…but I love it, because I’m also tall, 1,71cm:-)…
