Daily Outfit -- 14th June 2008
[ 15 June 2008 ]
Yesterday, my friend Jess & I went to the Cupcakes Take The Cake annual cupcake picnic in Central Park. It was GREAT! Here’s what I wore…
Fabulous dangly earrings from Tokyomade
“Crowning Your Beautiful Life” t-shirt: designed by Nubby Twiglet & for sale here!
Purple ruffle dress (bought on Broadway for a pittance)
Swarovski crystal bracelet, charm bracelet & 2 Tarina Tarantino rings
Trent Nathan handbag
Sunglasses from Forever 21
New Rock boots (best ever boots to shop in — they are still so comfortable, more than a decade later!)
Balloons: donated!
This cupcake was so huge!
Just after the picnic ended, the city was struck by torrential rain & a booming thunderstorm. A bunch of us huddled under an awning on 72nd street for an hour (!) before disappearing into Jess’ hotel where we drank coffee & reclined on an enormous sofa. Later in the evening, with the rain still pounding, I ran to the subway station without an umbrella. Soaked through, yes indeed. The drowned rat look = not so chic!
P.S. I have big plans for this dress. Just you wait.
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

Ooooh, there’s a full dress under that shirt? I can’t wait to see your other plans for it! That cupcake looks like a giant cloud with its frosting, hehe. I feel like hunting down some dessert now. (runs off to the kitchen)
PS: I do love that iCiNG treat shirt! Soon as I have spare cash (I’m in between jobs and living the cheap life right now) I’ll have to get one too. :)
sora — Yes ma’am! It’s amazing, I love the colour so much. The cupcake was disturbingly large, & the icing on it was whipped to within an inch of its life, it was SO fluffy. Incredible.
1. I LOVE that dress. I think it might be my favorite thing you have ever worn, and I usually love everything you wear.
2. I was wondering where you plan to get your hair done and re-dyed now that you’re in New York. I’m going to be there this summer, and your recomendation for a steller salon would be great.
I wish beyond wish that I could stop studying French long enough to whip up a batch up cupcakes right now… I finally perfected my recipe, but alas, my ten procrastination time is being spent trawling away on the internet!
Worth it though, I love that dress!
you look super cute! I love the contrast between the ruffly dress and the t-shirt, what a great idea :D though,I don’t know why, but your legs look weird in the first photo D: is probably just a optical illusion…
since you arrived to NY all your posts and pictures look soo happy and uplifting! Is so cool to notice how happy you are when reading your posts :) congratulations!
Wow, That looks brilliant – the cupcake and the outfit! I’m making a batch today and I’m gonig to make it my personal goal to get it as big as that one! I know I’ll have fun trying! :D
And I also love your earing here!
Vixxie.
P.S the guy in the pink shirt in the background! The way he’s staring made me giggle! :D
I love the color of that ruffly dress- what does the top half of the dress look like though?
Looking beautiful Gala…
I’m so loving that you still work those new rock boots into your look! I myself love to mix my crazy cyber/industrial boots and gear in with some high fashion or trendy pieces. In your “crack the whip” entry, I’ve experienced the same kind of questions. Now, if I can make an Anna sui dress work with synthetic dreads and swear shoes by throwin’ in some Tarina and something from H & M, I’m thinkin’ that I deserve a fashion medal for beating the rules. However, most narrow minded people want to throw a big label on people when it comes to style and this hurts their noggin’s….lashing out because it doesn’t fit the equation. You get it…and you are a true inspiration!
Alex — Thanks, lovely! I adore it too, especially because I’ve been looking for a skirt/dress like this for ages, & it was $26! SHOCKING! Oh, & my hair? Well, because I have extensions there’s not much anyone can do with my hair I think. I might need to have my bangs trimmed a bit, or possibly my roots done, & if I do I think I’ll go the Patricia Field salon. (My friend Gilda goes there & her hair always looks amazing.) Luckily though I have a whole lot of Special Effects dye in the bathroom so I can touch up my hair when need be!
Mary — Vous êtes très consciencieux! Félicitations! It will serve you well ;D
fran — Thanks doll-face! I think I am doing a weird thing with my legs, one of them is straight & the other is bent, & it kind of looks like my right one is turned in… oh, who knows! Just call me Ol’ Gammy Leg!
Vixxie — Haha, it was so huge I could barely get my hand around it! You might need to buy a JUMBO cupcake cup. Tray. Thingy! Oh haha, I didn’t even notice that guy! He’s so like, ‘Who is that nut?!’
Rachel — I’ve been trying to work out what colour it is & I think I’d describe as a neon purple, would you agree? It’s a sleeveless dress with quite a high neck, hard to describe… perhaps you will have to wait until I show it all done up on Thursday!
Philip McCluskey — Aw, merci!
Tracy — Haha! I love these boots. No one will ever tear me away from them! Though they are very close to being completely decimated... there is a hole in the back of one & the metal on the heel is all worn down & crazy-looking. & thanks, gorgeous. It's lovely to have your support!
I LOVE this outfit. Whenever I look at my NRs with despair and confusion as to how to wear them without looking like a teeniegoth (I’m only seventeen so it’s a fine line!), I come and browse your Daily Outfits featuring your New Rocks and find inspiration. It’s not what you wear them with, it’s the spirit in which you wear them. It’s so important not to take fashion and your image too seriously, and you always seem to wear what others might call unconventional or unorthodox with a sense of humour, which both makes a person approachable, and also able to carry off almost any outfit with panache and style. Anyone who complains about that is crazy, to my way of thinking, not to mention blinkered. Some people are just too blind to see that not only is it impossible to please everyone, it is also unacceptable to have this demanded of you. Never change! iCiNG is perfect as it is.
Where did you get the dress? I do believe I’m in love!
Yum! That’s all I have to say about that – might be time to make myself something sweet on this lovely Sunday. & you’re right – the drowned rat look is not-so-much chic – but sometimes can be a lot of fun! (_especially_ if you’re on your way home & can share knowing looks with everyone else caught out without their umbrella)
This is in response to ‘cracking the whip’. You really inspire me – I would honestly, truly count you as one of my greatest heroes. You are an independent, intelligent, gutsy woman who has gone so far in her life and done so many things that other people are simply afraid to do. Not only this, but you let other people share in your experiences. I read your blog everyday, and it adds so much to my life. You’re a really cultured, clever person and the fact that you write about things like music, art, photography, books and life issues, as well as fashion, makes your blog stand out from the others. I genuinely feel excited when I read about your life and if I’m having a bad day, your blog reminds me as to what can be achieved.
These negative commenters probably have a fixed, conservative view of what a blog should be, and for this reason do not like your blog. Conversely, that is the exact reason for why I adore your blog – you break the boundaries and I find that awe-inspiring, as I’m sure others do too. Furthermore, the way you deal with these commenters was superb – you stay calm and collected, put your points across articulately and, most importantly, don’t let them get you down! You really are a fantastic person – don’t ever change!

I was in Central Park yesterday too! My friends and I were lining up to see the free Vampire Weekend concert and got kicked out because of the rain, haha. :>
I LOVE your outfit! So sassy and fun.
Lately, I’ve been picking random people to inspire my outfits, and yesterday, you were my inspiration! I wore a fluffy pink skirt with a black teeshirt, my glitzy rings and a scarf wrapped around my head. When I went out, I grabbed my biggest, most glam sunglasses and although I don’t have New Rock boots, I slipped on some fabulous black heels and was feeling pretty GORGEOUS. :D
Anyways, that purple is lovely on you! I think this outfit reminds me of some of your older posts, where you dressed very quirkily, except this one is a chic quirky. I like it. My favorite accesory in that outfit is your waterbottle. I never go anywhere without a big ol’ bottle of water, I feel lost without one!
It looks like it was a fabulous event and that cupcake is adorable as well as delectable.
I’ll probably be making blueberry muffin tops myself. If I could ever tear myself away from the computer, do my chores and keep from sleeping the day away.
It’s just too hot out to do much else.
Luv
Poochie
PS Negative comments that serve no purpose just stink!
The contrast in the picture is amusing to no end: you, in your ruffled, cupcake-y glory, and the Ralph Lauren-looking group in the back. Good to know we can all get along. :)
Gala, you are fabulous.
I was recently recommended your blog by a friend and am offically hooked. I spent a whole afternoon reading from start to finish.
In regards to the few sour grapes that try to litter your site with their unhappiness, pish posh. I lovingly refer to it as tall poppy syndrome. Take it as a compliment darling, they are just jealous.
xx
beautiful as always galaloolalee <3 <3
I’m totally with everyone else:
1) That dress is AMAZING;
2) You are AMAZING, and your blog is a huge pick-me-up for any girl; and
3) The people who try and leave nasty remarks here are just sour.
I’ve only been reading your blog since December 07, but I’ve already noticed a little change in myself. I’m more girly and happy around others. I’ve gotten more daring with the way I dress. My relationships have totally taken a turn for the best since I realized that some of my “friends” were just bringing me down. So thank you, Gala, for being so wonderful. I don’t understand how anyone couldn’t see that!
Oh, and that cupcake looks fabulous! Haha, it’s making me hungry :)
OMG I love love LOVE your dress! I’m in love with it and how it looks on you! So fabulous!
The balloons and the cupcakes are making me wonder if I should throw a similar thing in my garden or run off to a park with some friends and a basket of my mammys homecooked cakes ={>
You’ve got me excited for my endless summer now
xx
so that’s a dress? and the color is out of this planet! my fave! can’t wait to see more :)
i also want to tell you how much you inspire me every and i say it again, every day! it’s a full year since i started reading icing, and it makes a noticeable difference. a big one actually. i started my own blog last year and i’m updating it on a daily basis. i learned (& still learning) so much! you are so special, never-ever stop what you are doing! kisses!
That cupcake looks ridiculously delicious. D:
And that is certainly an eye-popping ensemble.
Super cute skirt! And you know I so want a cupcake right about now.
You’re too fierce Gala!
That outfit is adorable. Now I am craving cupcakes like mad.
MMMMM love that purple ruffle dress! i can’t wait to see the rest of it! I bought some 3/4 length tights that shade last week mmmm! next time i wear them i’m sure they will remind me of you :) x
galalala! you look wonderful, that dress is fabulous. nice legs, too ;)! also I REALLY WANT A CUPCAKE NOW, argh!
in response to your last post, if i had any pom-poms to hand i would totally be waving them right now. there have been so many comments recently that have had me itching to post a nasty reply in response, but honestly? life’s too short! people need to take a leaf out of your book and concentrate on the positive things instead of spending all their time picking and jeering about the negative points.
(incidentally – i definitely think iCiNG has taught me to do that exact thing over the past year!)
xxx
You look totally fabulous as usual. Plus cupcakes are always a stylish accessory, aren’t they?
P.S. I super envy your boots, I went to NewRock’s website and couldn’t find any info about other stores that carry their merch (I like to try on shoes before I commit my green). Do you happen to know of any in the U.S. perhaps?
Gala, your outfits lately have been so simple and beautiful! I really love the combination of pink frills and new rock boots! And with your Icing t-shirt, too! By the way, I think you usually wear such cool and unusual jewelry, and I wish we could see it better sometimes…
p.s. Do you know which weekend you’ll be posing for Dr. Sketchy in the fall?
Oh my god this post totally made me have to have a cupcake for breakfast! But now I’m compensating with organic brown rice & miso soup with nori, so it’s groovy.
The skirt of your dress looks like a hanging bundle of lilacs or wisteria, or the flower from The Little Prince. I hope you watched out for baobabs & sheep & kept well out of drafts. ^~
OOH! What a cute outfit n_n I love how you always pop out in the picture and the other people look a little less glam =O you’re outshining everyone!! lol
Anywho- I luuuurve the blog. Despite what other nastie have to say! Keep up the suuuugoi work!
I like that you can make a simple t-shirt work with ruffles and big black boots! Also, you did an amazing job of summing things up on the ‘Cracking The Whip’ post. That takes some serious charisma to carry off— I’ve bookmarked it for future reference. ;)
My god, you make 80’s ruffle skirts look good!
I wonder what those people in the background are thinking…
1) as everyone has said, the dress is awesome!!aaah when i’ll have a salary (next month!!can’t wait)!!that’s the kind of thing i’ll splurge on:D…and a cupcake picnic in central park..isn’t that the kind of thing you’d want to live in NYC for?:)
2) about the previous post…gala this blog is awesome!AND, personally, my lifestyle is pretty different from yours, my fashion style also, but I read your blog because it inspires me to be MYSELF with my choices, my style and my tastes, regardless of wether they coincide with yours!& that’s the cool thing about you!& people who criticize you…well, they’re not getting the point of this blog at all!moreover, i don’t think the contents of this blog are the exact transposition of you as a person (and that’s totally fair!)—even if you write about really deep things and personal events sometimes, i don’t think anybody can judge a person’s choices in anything based on what they write in a blog….sorry for the long & off-topic comment, but these things kind of make me want to smash a (cup)cake in someone’s face!!you’re a great blogger and an amazingly positive woman, & you’re so inspiring because you strive everyday to be yourself—if people don’t get it…it’s their BIG problem:)
Gala you are awesome and it is wonderful that you give so much advice and inspiration for others to take into their lives. Anyone who is complaining is absolutely cracked.
All I can say is I love everything about these pictures!
You look happy. I’m glad your happy…
Sugar lumps and kisses!
Wow! lovely! If I had that dress and its ruffles on my rear I would so not be able to stop shaking my butt. hahaha. I still like to twirl around in skirts and dresses to see if they have good …erm…movement? lol
I love it :) The dress is amazing :) I want to see it all !That cupcake has just made me want to bake some drool
Hi Hi! :) Long time no talk, yes I know, my internet is so excruciatingly slow I rarely make it to my regular sites, looks like you are having fun in new york, and looking delicious as a cupcake as always :)
Your outfit is sort of like an upside-down cupcake itself! So adorable.
Oh my god, I love that ruffle dress! So cute! And that cupcake looks absolutely delicious, haha, I don’t know if I would be able to finish the whole thing.
On a side note, about the “cracking the whip” post, I just wanted to say, You Go Girl! I didn’t even realize that there were any negative comments on here, but I don’t read them on every entry. You’re right, your life is your own and you have the right to live it however you want to. I don’t think iCiNG’s changed that much; it’s still one of my top three sites that I visit daily to read the latest entry.
Anyway, I’m glad you’ve set things straight, and it’s always nice to have a little reminder that we’re in charge of our own lives. I know I needed to hear that right now, as I might be moving out and am a bit nervous, but there are still other options, and either way I don’t have to do anything that I don’t want to. So keep on doing your thing! It’s so great to see you’re having an awesome time in New York!
The New Rocks are back! I’m pretty impressed that they made it all the way to NYC, since you often mention how munted they are. Love the bracelets, and the skirt (dress) is so cute – it instantly reminded me of things my little sis used to wear in the 80s. I bet the colour is amazing in real life – I’ve got an old neon purple dress that I made back in 1989 and simply cannot get rid of, even though I never wear it; I love it too much.

Oooh… This is my dream dress.
Really.
I love the whole ensemble!
faints
I want a cupcake NOW! Where I come from we don’t have that kind of cupcakes, well we do, but you can’t buy one, they usually make laarge batches of them for events and stuff!
I want one:(
Love the dress!!! please show us MORE, MORE, MORE!!
I have noticed a different in your posts since you hit NY: it’s evolutionary :) I expect it from you nowadays – ‘aint ever gonna take Gala for granted and get all comfy: I never know what you’ll do next!
Don’t worry about the greenies, the meanies and the in-betweenies…!
Hey: are you tempted to do a SJP and sashay down the street in the leotard/tutu number? :)
This is in response to the ‘Cracking the Whip’ post: Gala I think you’re awesome. Pure and simple! Your joyful individuality speaks to many, as well as your Golden Rule sentiment. I admire you for living your life as you wish and having a good time doing so. And, actually, shouldn’t we all? Your joy for life and desire to inspire others to do the same are what have made me a devoted fan of your blog. I’m glad that I found you!
Unfortunately, we all face this same hardship time to time, but what truly sets you apart is your will to rise above the negativity, stay positive, and continue to succeed and fulfill your goals. Thank you for shining your light so brightly. Love ya, Girl!
P.S. Love the outfit, especially the boots!
I LOVE the ruffly bit on your dress! And I like how the T-shirt is practically a big ‘STFU’ at the people mentioned in the post below this! [Though I was quite disappointed to find that it had absolutely nothing to do with bondage whatsoever]
This is so nuts! Just yesterday I made a Polyvore set inspired by the lovely gray sweatshirt that you’ve been wearing a lot lately (I hope that doesn’t sound stalker-ish!), and I paired it with a frilly skirt (dress)! I posted it in the Nonpareils Polyvore group, if you’re interested— my name on the site is Eliza Sometimes. I’d totally post the URL, but I’m commenting via BlackBerry.
Now to what I REALLY wanted to tell you— the new Elle for July has Mary-Kate featured on the cover!! I know how much you love her- just as much as I do!- so I had to tell you. I snatched up a copy as soon as I saw it! Added bonus: Christian Siriano from Project Runway!!
Sorry about the rain, but you look divine! I wish we had cupcake carnivals over here in LA…
I honestly have never seen any bad comments here gala.
I want that cupcake! Love the dress! Can’t wait to see what you make of it.
ahhhh!!! its lovely!!!
if im in NY this summer
i want to request to have coffee with you
my favorite Darling
pretty please with sugar on top?
Love and Lipstick,
B
its PURPLE!!! Yay. I just recently developed a teeny obsession with purple I even got my hair dyed today. Looking fabulous as always Gala.
Gala! That cupcake is almost the size of your head! Amazing.
I just got a job, and I definitely need to use a bit of my first paycheck to buy me one of those new iCiNG shirts. They’re so hot!
That purple is such a gleeful color. Makes your outfit pop just nicely! I wanna steal that cupcake right outta your hand and attack it! ;)
Did you meet the excellent Rachel Krammer Bussel (cupcake mastermind for sure)?
You look super fantastic! You look absolutely gorgeous in that second picture, you’re just too cute!
Drowned rat look? More like carefree and fabulous!! Getting wet builds character! Umbrellas are for goobers anyway ;)
You look absolutely fabulous! I’m tickled green with envy by the riotous time you’re having in New York!
And don’t worry about the rain. Pssssh. Just tell people you’re going for the ‘Waterlogged Chic’ look (;
I love your outfit!
Re: Cracking the Whip – gorgeous words, perfectly said. You’ve done gorgeous work here, and worn some awesome outfits along the way, and I feel lucky to have watched this website evolve, and really want to see where it keeps going!
Now on to the pretty! THAT DRESS! Is incredible! $26!!? Faints
*First, Love the outfit. Second, [gasp] I’m upset, I was totally at Central Park yesterday as well! I went to the Kid Sister & Vampire Weekend Concert. That storm was terrible, so I missed most of Kid Sister, but I stayed through the whole Vampire Weekend set & it was great! I don’t know what it was but when it started storming again it just escalated to awesome. Ha! Everyone just partied in the rain! My poor camera that could couldn’t get any good shots of the show but it was something to remember. My first concert & my first time at Central park all in one.
*BUT, I would have TOTALLY ditched it for cupcakes. This is why I’m upset. Lol.
The colors of your tattoos (& just the general look of them) go really well with this outfit. I don’t dress nearly as expressively as you do, but your look & the way you put things together is such a huge inspiration!
ps: I love the look on your face in the second picture. It’s as if you’re saying to any skeptics: yes, I AM going to eat this whole cupcake… and it’s going to taste FABULOUS!
i didn’t realise it was a whole dress under that tee! :o so excited to see the dress and your plans with it. it’s so bubbly, ruffly & boppy- makes me smile when looking at it! :D
that cupcake looks absolutely delicious! drools i’ve been cupcake baking and hunting around melbourne recently ^^
do you know if there is an annual cupcake picnic or similar in melbourne??
We MUST see the top of that dress soon! Because of you, I’m going to make cupcakes tonight! I think you are such an inspiration Gala! I use an awful lot of explanation marks, don’t I?
GALA do you know I think your trip to New York inspired a very bizarre dream I had recently?
I went with two friends (who are friends with each other yet rarely speak these days) to New York for the day (! it takes longer than a day to fly there from Australia how is this possible?!) and they wouldn’t let me go shopping! I wanted to go to H&M so badly and they made me go rescue a set of keys from a big hairy ex-con who was hiding out down a million level of stairs in some big secret New York basement. It was very mission impossible. I just wanted to go shopping!
How odd!!
That cupcake day looks ridiculously fun! I hate you but I love you.
xx
Alicia
you look gorgeous & that cupcake looks delicious!
The picture of you and the enormous cup cake makes me want to grab the cupcake right out of your hand and take a bite. It looks super yummy!
On a more serious note I would like to state how sorry I am of the negative comments that some people have said. But it is part and parcel of being in the public eye like putting yourself out there in such a open platform like the internet.
I am so glad you have just taken the comments in your stride and continued to do what you do. You rock!
Beautiful Gala,
I am so getting a ‘crowning’ tee next payday. I love Nubby!!
You said it all in Cracking the Whip. There have been several comments where I have wanted to grab the post-er by the ears (via email) and say “Leave our Gala alone”. I didn’t… people are entitled to their own opinions and I understand that.
Like my Nanna says “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything”. I edit that to read constructive instead of nice, but I still live by Nanna’s principal. She also says “If you’ve got it, show it off”. I love Nanna.
Some web users do not get that a blog is a personal thing, with personal opinions and personal thoughts.
I don’t expect to think the same things as you, but I accept that fact. We are different, as are all of your nonpareils. That is the one of the reasons I get so much joy from reading ‘you’ everyday.
Keep up the fabulous work my dear!
Hey guys, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your support. I have been out all day but reading my comments on the go while I walked around, & I kept exclaiming to my friend about how incredibly AWESOME you all are & how happy this community makes me. You’re such a marvellous bunch of people & I am totally honoured to know you, even in this small way. So thank you from the bottom of my heart! xxx!
We are honoured to have you in our lives, Miss Darling! However crappy my day has been Icing always rejuvenates my spirit!
Right now I am not sitting at my comp in perth avoiding study, I’m floating somewhere in my imagination drinking in the deliciousness of colour and fun and NY cupcakes!
Thankyou for sharing!!!
Wow, sensational dress! Wish I’d been at the cupcake picnic!
Oh my, scrolling down I see that everyone has basically said this already, but when I saw that dress (which I naturally thought was a skirt at first), I nearly had a heart attack! I am insanely envious!!!
i love your skirt! if they dont like who you are then why dont they go else where. so not on.. id say they got nothing better to do with their time than bad mouth you….doesnt really say much for them does it…? you handled it really well
beautiful dress, delicious-looking cupcake and gorgeous gala! what lovely pictures!
keep up the fabulous iCiNG work, it always makes my day!
x
Hhm, maybe I’ll just use a bowl? Hehe, now that would be BIG! :D
And what can I say? I have a gift for noticing small irrelavant details of pictures. I bet it’s now his life goal to find out who you are! Wait til he sees this site! :D
Vixxie.
May I just say, Gala, that your blog is the perfect ‘dreaming-away’-place? Whenever I’m fed up with work, I go vistit your blog and I get so happy & inspired! These pictures make me want to leave Holland immediately, move to NYC and hang out in Central Park all day!
Love this outfit very much. The t-shirt and boots rock. And the dress is all sorts of ‘pretty-chic’. Yum for cupcakes! :)
Well said everyone! Gala your outfit is as always fabulous. The dress compliments your cute tattoos.
In regards to ‘Cracking The Whip’ Gala, GO GIRL. Every article you post, manages to inspire and encourage everyone who reads them. You are amazing and have changed so many peoples lives, mine especially. BG (Before Gala) I was in a long term relationship that I was not happy in and my mind was generally a mess. When I discovered Gala, I became inspired to change my life and DID. I read iCiNG everyday and look forward to it so much. It never fails to brighten my day.
Thanks Gala. I know you dont need to be told this but; Never Change!
hugs kisses and love
You look absolutely delicious Gala! And I’m not just talking about that mammoth cupcake my eyes are devouring. That skirt is just so cool! Am now dying to purchase my very own iCiNG Tee! Hope that cupcake was fabuous! xoxox
p.s
Your attitude towards life and the people around you is inspiring and refreshing, thank you Gala!
no way! I, too, was briefly under an awning on 72nd street by central park after being rained out trying to go see vampire weekend! i ended the day dripping head to toe while ordering a cappuccino in starbucks but any day in the city is fun, drenched or not. just wanted to say i love your blog!
Okay, aside from the fact that you look absolutely fabulous, my dear, I was in the park that afternoon as well. I traipsed around nearly the whole of Central Park. Had I known that you AND cupcakes were there, I certainly would have made my way over.
I love how the people behind you were watching ya, made me chuckle.
Gala, I’m so glad you chose to wear that dress – I have a skirt that’s extremely similar to that, only lighter purple, and I’ve been AT A LOSS of how to wear it out of costume ever since buying it on a whim a few years ago.
You’re awesome, and that cupcake looks SO DELICIOUS I want to cry.
I don’t understand why people who feel so negatively about you would want to go to your website. If I don’t like a website, I don’t waste my time going to it.
Your site is wonderful, Gala, really. I think you’re a great person and a very thoughtful one. I don’t agree with everything you write and I don’t like everything you like (As one example, I actually hate the taste of cupcakes even though I do think they’re really pretty! Sex and the City, Agyness Deyn and Victoria Beckham are other points of difference in taste…) but overall, I think it’s your site and you’re doing a great job of making it a unique place that can and has helped a lot of people figure out things in their lives. It’s also colorful and beautiful and full of interesting things.
You’re just an interesting person, Gala. You’re also a charismatic and powerful writer. If you weren’t as interesting and charismatic as you are, nobody would waste their time writing rude things to you. Just keep focusing on the legions of people writing praise to you. This post alone has almost 100 glowing comments on it. You’re adored by thousands.
hello gala, darling!
i’ve been going thru your links page and it seems like a few are outdated/moved etc.
just thought i would let you know so when you have time you can have a looky!

Please bring back Weekly Resolutions please bring back Weekly Resolutions! :( I miss zem :( xxo
I want those boots!
pixie kisses xxx
Hi Gala,
I am more of a religious reader of your livejournal account, but I really wanted to tell yo, that although I dont follow fashion, honestly just reading your posts brightens my day! You are such a happy and energetic person that is always amazed and constantly taking the time to compliment things that most of us dont even notice. You rock :)
Stay happy :)
