Nancy Cunard – Daily Style
I couldn’t be bothered taking my shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, hair wax, mousse, mist and gel away with me for the weekend so I just took my turban instead. I was actually laughed at for wearing this today. I walked into another office (where everyone is under the age of twenty and apparently exempt from the office dress code because the standard uniform appears to be thongs and jeans) and there was a group of young girls who stopped talking and stared at me. Then the leader of the group rolled her eyes and they all started laughing. It was so weird and childish. I’m not at all offended (I’m not too keen on taking fashion advice from the Plumber’s Crack and Plastic Nails Association) but just fascinated that people still do that. Bless them. They are probably right out of high school, still reeking with insecurity and vehemently dissing any article of clothing not currently carried in FCUK. What a sad little existence for them. Well, that’s what the mature Lady Smaggle thought anyway. The real Lady Smaggle thought ‘Get FCUK-ed you mangy little bitches. I happen to be channeling Nancy Cunard. Maybe if you tore your eyes away from your mobile phone for a second you might see that dressing like a clone of Jordan is nasty. Just like your skanky white tracksuit pants. And wash your damn face. Don’t just keep troweling your make-up over last night’s crust. Oh and one more thing – The Pussycat Dolls suck. They are strippers. Not singers. Take their dumb-arse song off your ring tone.’

Feel free to have a little rant in the comments section below. It’s surprisingly liberating. Have a rant about anything! Bad drivers, hideous work colleagues, loser ex-boyfriends. The sky’s the limit for Hava-Rant Monday!
Love Lady Smaggle

What pathetic little molls. Seriously, that turban rocks so hard I think my fashion-gland is bleeding a little.
And can we say Ewww Grant!
And I would like to aim my rant today at anyone and everyone who seems to believe that you shouldn’t make an effort when you dress in the morning. I ventured out into civic yesterday with a friend and spent half of our time averting my eyes from people’s complete and utter lack of public decency. You might feel that cramming yourself into a pair of Adidas track-pants and a ‘Von Bitch’ (which, FYI, isn’t even funny) singlet top and then combing your grease-laden mane back into a sort of a quiff qualifies you as presentable; but the rest of us do not agree my dear!
I’m done now.
yay Nancy Cunard! Oddly, I don’t need to rant at the moment. THE WORLD IS COLLAPSING!
you should totally have a rant every monday. That way, people like me won’t feel bad about ranting everyday.
I totally live in trackie pants right now, but that is only because I am a fat pregnant lady who is sick and tired all the time. So, therefore, it is acceptable. I do manage to dress appropriately for work, but am thinking about my trackies all day.
Now, that being said, trackies are not formal attire and they cannot be tucked into calf high ugg boots like skinny leg jeans into a more fashionable boot. On anyone! ever! I witnessed this monstrosity over the weekend. Maybe it is because I reside in the bronx side of Canberra, or maybe I just happened to be lucky enough to witness this total skank leave the house to get a six pack and some smokes for an afternoon of watching her 7 kids from different fathers.
Maybe I am being too harsh. prehaps the poor dear doesn’t have a mirror at home and couldn’t see the error of her ways…Alas no. this attire was combined with a “damn I am the hottest thing this side of the sun” strut and numerous “who is checking me out” flicks of the hair.
very upsetting….
ok, pregnant lady rant over.
I audibly gasped when I saw your picture today. You are the nancy-est biatch I’ve ever seen.
Although I have some fear that princessnaea and I NOT wanting to rant at the same time may in fact cause the world to be sucked into some alternate universe where angry ranty bitches are serene andkittens are evil, I am entering a new place where I am allowing all rubbish FCUK-bint related things to wash over me, because I have come to the conclusion that the world is an advertisement, and it’s not marketed at us.
Also… who could be angry and ranty when hearing of the impending motherhood of someone you’re fond of?? CONGRATULATIONS Mrs Munk!!! Whee – I’m all sunshine and flowers!!
Sorry Lady – totally disregarded blog comment instructions. x
Oh what a wonderful turban! So gorgeous!
Love Little Peaché
Oh my god, those fuckin little bitches. I wish I couldve been there to give them a piece of ivy-pie slammed in their faces! *sigh* that’s the kinda stuff that REALLY pisses me off…
You look a million buckaroonies, m’lady. You ooze class and sophistication!
*ahem* May I add, that people who don’t say ‘thank you’ when you give them something are SERIOUSLY rude. Even if someone gives you a flower or passes the butter over a dinner table, say THANK YOU! I am done
To the taxi driver who turned up late thismorning, played with his comptuer on the dash board while wavering across the road, drove slower than the speed limit ALL THE WAY to the airport, made me lose my temper (yes I yelled at him AND slammed the door)and MISS check-in for the plane (literally by a couple of minutes)leading to a wait of 6 HOURS until the next available flight – only to be on a plane FULL of year 7 students (man what an awkward age) – YOU SUCK! (although you were wearing a cool turban in your taxi driver photo on the dash!!
My rant is dedicated to my colleagues who believe they are above any policy I must enforce. Do they think I do it for the fun of it? Follow the rules, going over my head won’t help you and I have a long memory- peace- enjoy your blog- we need more canberra fashion blogs!
way to go lady!
your turbs’ awesome
hahaha this made me laugh so hard! thongs and jeans indeed, brilliant.
nice turban
I honestly laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe. I know exactly who those people were, I see them everyday.
Your turban is impressive! And those who don’t realise that should go and crawl back into City Beach.
No rant from me – except to agree with everything you said about “those girls”. I think we all know the type, they are everywhere, aren’t they? Close minded clones – you are fabulous, dear! You look great… I’m glad you were strong and ignored their attitude, seeing it for what it was… a reflection upon them, NOT you <3
power to the smaggle! haha they soubd awful, i think you look magical!!
Thanks for a comment! My post was about Paraphernalia and their great jewellery – I mentioned you as one of my favourite bloggers (hate myself for writing that, I’m such a toady) who already got it.
You look great in your turban!
Sorry if I made any mistakes, it’s a little scary for me to write in English (that’s why I never comment).
And does anyone use word “toady”? I’ve just found it in a dictionary
I thought younger girls would be more appreciative of adventurous and modern fashion–apparently not though! I NEED your turban!
Judgemental ppl suck…officially…. that turban is amazing!
I sub to Notes from the Universe which sent me something timely today:
“The only person who should ever have to live by your standards, E, is you.
Let everyone else off the hook. Besides, it’s doubtful they’ve lived as much, dreamt as big, or will ever be able to saunter quite like you.”
You look magnificent Lady S.
I’m practicing the art of rising above it all (and perfecting the withering look). And looking up inspiring little quotettes to stick inside my purse for spiteful joy.
I really like the look. Very original.
Um if I could pull off a turban like you can, I totally would. But since I can’t, I will just sit here and be jealous.
And I hate those girls too!!! They were the ones that used to pick on me in high school for wearing dresses over jeans (they too were younger than me, foolish little girls). I bet you anything they were just jealous they can’t pull off a turban like you can.
Also, Hava-Rant Monday sounds like a great idea. I think this should be done weekly.
of course they laughed, they are ignorant! I love this alot! Especially in all black and white.
LOL! Darling Lottie we love the whole ensemble! The turban is merely the (dark) cherry on top, the black gilding of your midnight lily aesthetic…as you will.
And don’t worry honey my 19 year old niece has been wearing turbans this season and she doesn’t even give the suburban-hos the time of day…she just gets the better looking lads flocking to her ethereal presents…like you!
so many teens who think they are the height of fashion have no actual style. A polo shirt and flip flops – not style. Take solace in the fact that their mommies probably had to drive them to the mall to buy them in the first place.
It’s perrahare day, so I’m all happy!!
Weird, yesterday I’d've been all about the rant …
Nice turban though
Oh wow suport from susie bubble herself!!
I get sniggered at daily, i dont think Perth is ready for what the rest of the world deems fashionable…
Navy Over sized Blazer = random people asking me what i am dressing up as
Grant – I’m…um…happy to help your fashion gland bleed. I think.
And Von Bitch is so not funny. I agree.
Na – No ranting…? I’m heart broken. What is this Matt doing to you? You’ve changed Na…
Mrs Munk – I hear you. I work at a University. Ugg boots and trackies abound!
Fifi – An audible gasp? Blush! Although you are in big trouble for not following the post instructions.
Little Peache – Why thank you!
Ivy – Ha ha Ivy-pie! Gotta get me some of that. I HATE people with no manners.
Fliss Q – Melbourne cab drivers are the worst!
Tenith – Oh honey do I hear you! I have very strict policies to abide by at work and I swear people think I am a bitch for the fun of it. Well… sometimes I am.
Sheryl –
Katie_Lilga – And sometimes football jerseys.
Lauren – They are nasty aren’t they? I hate their attitude towards all things not Paris Hilton related.
Katie – Thanks love! I try really not to bite back but sometimes I think it would be really fun just to yell insults at them… One day I shall.
Selina – Ah thanks love! I know you know what I’m talking about –
Dulcynea – Wow your English is fantastic! Please don’t be self conscience about it at all it’s great. ‘Toady’ is a rather old-fashioned word and you got the definition right but you weren’t being ‘toady’ at all! Please keep commenting – it’s great having so many international readers!
The Clothes Horse – Apparently not. I’ll put a link up of the store where I bought it soon.
Susie-Bubble – Thanks Susie!
E – That quote is lovely thank you. You made me feel all blushy…
Coco – Ta sweetness!
Nicole – I totally should. Everyone loves a rant. And you totally pull of the turban. I thought I couldn’t but you really just have to fly with it…
Hailey – I’m a black and white gal at heart.
Matt & Ged – Thanks angels. It’s lucky Mr Smaggle has a thing about me in headwear…
Natasha – I know! Why do so many insist on shopping at Colarado?
Angry Face – What is perrahare day? What is with you all not ranting??? Did I miss the happy memo?
J – That’s weird. A navy blazer doesn’t seem that crazy to me at all. Perth is a little insular though.
See, for me it isn’t even ABOUT the turban! It is simply, if you see something you don’t like, SHUT UP ABOUT IT! You didn’t ask for their opinion (an intelligent one they wouldn’t have had anyway). I seriously don’t understand why people think it makes them better to look down on the fashion choices of others. Can’t we embrace originality? Sheesh.
But right out of high school, I will give them the benefit of the doubt and assume it was more the insecurity they feel for themselves they were expressing.
But today is really a beautiful day!
I wish I could get away with a turban! (wide jawline, not gonna happen).
Haven’t we all known ‘those’ girls at some point – we can only feel sorry for them. Or, better yet, have a rant.
I know Rant Monday is done and dusted but I thought you should know that the Plumber’s Crack and Plastic Nails Association have an associate branch – the Oompa Lumpa Fence Paint Tan and Almost Nudist Sisterhood. I just had my local rep do a bit of lip curling in the face of my blinding white personage at the bread counter.
It really is heart-breakingly easy to get a rise out of them isn’t it. Bless.
You look jaw-droppingly SENSATIONAL! Go Nancy.
I couldn’t agree with you more about the Pussycat Dolls.
How could I equally love both of your responses!? But I do!
I always miss ranting days. I was taking a flight
I say the turban ROCKS and all forms of headgear including head scarves but most especially HATS and TURBANS (with extra points for anyone who can find a fez) should come back.
And can I rant that my boyfriend is self-involved and I totally love him anyway? Aaarrrgghh.
ShowA59 – I know! I don’t know why we need to hear everyone’s opinion about everything. Obviously if someone is dressed in a vulgar way I’ll have a bitch but the turban is not offensive!
Penny – No way! A wide jawline would balance it. That’s why I can get away with it. I have a massive head.
E – Oh no… not Oompa Lumpa tan!
Gervy – What thank you love.
Ambika – I’m a little bi-polar sometimes. I try to be mature some sometimes you just have to kick some butt.
JB – Oh of course you can rant about that! Everything is rant-able at Hava-rant Monday!
The Pussycat Dolls DO suck!
And I happen to think that you can rock a turban like I never would have believed possible.
I would have a rant, just to please you, but I’m far too apathetic today. I apologise.

Elise
I think you look stunning
