I sneakily smaggled this gorgeous gal today in Christchurch with her uber cool boyfriend. We hastily snapped the photo while waiting for our Korean takeaway. I feel terrible for not telling her but she was too damn cool not to share. Her hair is yellow and pink. And she has candy bracelets all the way up both arms. She’s like me on acid.

Hello angels! I’m at a gorgeous cafe called Patagonia that’s right on the water enjoying a cappuccino and a hand made coconut chocolate! Delish! It’s hellishly early in the morning but we are just killing time until we go rafting, jet boating and have a ride in a helicopter this afternoon! Did everyone else feel the vibrations of Mama Smaggle’s heart attack just then???
For the past few days I’ve been wearing raincoats soaked in mud so sadly there are no outfit shots. BUT I’ve seen some pretty fab stylin over here and I’ve been taking notes…
* A gorgeous girl who couldn’t have been older than 15 wearing skinny grey jeans and a fitted suit vest over a massive white dinner shirt. Converse sneakers and a sullen, side swept fringe completed the look.
* A super buff German gal in my glacier hike tour group who was wearing black and white thermal underwear underneath khaki shorts with hiking boots. It looked WAY cooler than I could ever describe.
* A backpacker wearing doc martins, fitted denim shorts, her boyfriend’s band t-shirt, crap loads of eyeliner and a scarf tied around her wrist.
* This beautiful red headed girl with masses of curls had her hair piled messily on top of her head. She wore a green floral dress that showed off her shoulders (there are few things more beautiful than a red head in green) and she was wearing white wedge sandals that had leather straps that criss crossed around her ankle.
* A dude wearing a sarong.
* An older lady wearing head to toe red in all different shades. Jewellery, sunglasses, handbag and dog collar included.
* This wonderful hippy lass wearing cotton knit EVERYTHING – skirt, top, hair wrap. She looked like a walking hemp hammock.
* The most stylish girl in Auckland on New Year was wearing an LBD and chunky cream and black heels. Her hair was dead straight with a blunt fringe and she wore a thick silver cuff high up on her slender arm. I kind of wanted to run her over in Van Damme to be honest.
How are you guys? I miss you all so much! Can’t wait to get back into the swing of real blogging soon – I have heaps of posts and DIYs coming up!

Still in New Zealand! It’s still awesome! Today Mr Smaggle and I found a wearable art and classic cars museum. How weird is that? They should have called it the Lady and Mr Smaggle Museum of Ridiculous Appropriateness. Last night we stayed at this awesome caravan park full of carnis in crazy custom built buses with turrets and curtains. It was hell cool.
Here is what I wore today
* Singlet top Mr Smaggle’s
* Skirt from Melbourne
* Wedge Crocs bought today in Nelson. My rubber thongs gave me a bitchin’ blister in between my toes so I chucked a tanty and threw them out and bought these instead. I’ve always felt really sloppy in rubber thongs so these were a perfect substitute
* Bangles from Equip
* Red leather bangles from Bowling Arm
* Earrings from Diva in Wellington

P.S Mama Smaggle – We are both alive and well and I’ll get credit on my phone soon and call you I promise!
I’ve been a cheeky monkey. I seriously loved Wellington so much that I went to Cuba Street (so freakin cool) and left little smaggly presents all along the street! If you happen to find one please write a comment! It would totally make my day. I think I’m going to a make a habit of this!
Here’s what I wore today

Mr Smaggle and I have been thrashing ourselves for a full week with heaps of activities so today we decided to take it easy. We had a late breakfast by a beautiful river and then went for a run through the rainforest. Then we went to a Leonardo Da Vinci exhibition in Wellington and we are just about to head back to the rainforest to camp again for the night. Tomorrow we are off to catch the ferry to the South Island! Yay!

Today was totally mental. I worked all day and then went straight to rehearsal and it was crazy. I walked off stage after my first scene and stepped right on the smoke machine remote control which started the machine spewing smoke right in the middle of a really inappropriate scene. Instead of being pro-active and trying to turn it off I just stood there pointing at it and saying ‘Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit….’. Seriously. Someone get me out of the bloody theatre.

Dear Facehunter,
I regret to inform you that my love for you is waning. Rest assured that this has nothing to do with your artistic integrity. I think you are extraordinary. It’s far more personal than that. My heart is heavy with your betrayal and the reasons why are threefold -
* You came all the way to Australia and didn’t bother to tell me. This prevented any opportunity for me to be snapped casually lolling on doorsteps in Paddington wearing short-shorts and smoking rollies. Okay, so I don’t live in Sydney, I don’t smoke rollies and I don’t wear shorts but I WOULD HAVE DONE IT FOR YOU!
* You are not visiting Canberra. I understand why, but that doesn’t stop the pain.
* After seeing you on Fashion Hayley I’ve discovered that you are not only talented but also gorgeous. Why are you not my husband? Poor form.
Despite the fact that my heart is breaking I have compiled a post of your greatest Australian hits.
So well done Facehunter. You’ve managed to capture a delicious assortment of street urchins that represent the spirit of my beloved country. How divinely gorgeous and multi-cultural we are.
Despite your behaviour of late I’ve decided to forgive you, dear Facehunter. After all Trinny and Susannah did it too…

Today was quite delicious. Mr Smaggle and I went to a bead store and I stocked up on supplies. Then we went to the markets and had basil chicken for lunch. Afterwards we went to the Glassworks and watched our friend Matt give a presentation on glass blowing which was insanely interesting and Mr Smaggle took some gorgeous photos of the old building. I’m just about to eat some toast and spend the evening making bead woven rings for my NMIT portfolio…

Today was so productive but so busy. I had a cardio box class this morning and I was so awesome that the trainer thought I had boxing experience! Hell yeah – Watch out Rocky I’m coming to kick your arse! Then I had a crazy busy day at work and now I’m off to have coffee with a friend. Then Mr Smaggle and I are having a cheeky date – we sneak sushi into the movies. We’re such crazy kids…

I bloody hate Grey’s Anatomy. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep and I can’t muster a single non-surgical thought until I finish season 2. I was up until 1am this morning waiting for Denny to die, waiting for Christina to melt her ice queen snow and commit to Burke and waiting for George to grow some testicles. And after 6 episodes in a row none of the above has happened and Mr Smaggle and Mr Squiggle (the man’s brother) are refusing to speak to me until stop calling Dr Sheppard ‘McDreamy’. I think I need counselling. Today was fairly quiet at work but Browny and I mustered up enough energy to go for a walk. This afternoon I’m off to buy fruit and some ingredients to make Mr Smaggle some wheat-free treats!
* Read dress from Tree of Life
* Grey top from SES
* Vest thrifted from Salvation Army
* Scarf from Sportsgirl
* Black knee high socks (I believe these belong to Mama Smaggle)
* Brown flats from Payless
So… has anyone else been watching Grey’s Anatomy?

My day today was just the right amount of busy. Busy enough to keep me occupied but not too busy so as to stress me out. I’m feeling a little unwell today and I am trying really hard to not get sick because I have to work tomorrow and go to a party tomorrow night and I don’t want to be sick for either of them. This afternoon I went to buy the second series of Grey’s Anatomy on DVD but it was $100 so I decided to give it a miss. I then visited my lovely friend Fliss on the way home and now I am wearing my pajamas and watching a crappy movie. I plan on getting an early night so I am well rested for my big day tomorrow…
