Lady loves…

* Cider on her balcony overlooking the Melbourne skyline. 

* My friend’s necklace that she made. A tiny silver wheelie bin with a gold lid that you can open and close. Tre chic!

* Having three of her favourite people living so close. One of them in the bedroom next door!

* Mr Smaggle. 

* The girl at school who doesn’t wear a bra and and it looks TOTALLY hot. Like Angelina Jolie rolling on a bed in nothing but a singlet and underwear. 

* That the stinky Melbourne heat wave is over.

* Her new school. Peacocks roam free on the lush green grass and it’s covered with exotic plants from the horticulture department. Sigh!

 

Lady Loathes…

* Job searching. Please let this hell end soon!

* Financial uncertainty. It’s such a yucky feeling. 

* Neglecting her blog. 

* Missing Mr Smaggle. Ow. 

* The Melbourne CBD. Every time I go in there I get lost or yelled at. 

* The amazing shopping that I will never get to do in Melbourne. 

 

How about you my angel? What’s making you smile and frown at the same time this week? 

Love Lady Smaggle

    Hey Ms Smaggle!

    As a Melbourne local I was so sad to read you loathe the CBD! There are soooooooooo many treasures and joys to be found. I suppose it can be a little confusing at first but remember those kind kind town planners who set us out in a grid did us such a service – once you remember the names of the streets it’s actually fairly difficult to get lost!

    Can I suggest staying away from Swanston St as much as possible because it is touristy and yuck – instead, did you know that you can make it almost all over Melbs just through the laneways? Much fun and quirkiness to be had in those lovely laneways my friend!
