Daily Outfit -- 17th June 2008
[ 17 June 2008 ]

Earrings from Tokyomade
Pink sequinned bikini top (not really visible) from Patricia Field
Grey sweater from American Apparel
Floral print skirt from H&M (it is exactly what I have been looking for, & I adore it!)
New shoes from Alexander McQueen (GASP)
Handbag from Toys ‘R’ Us! (Jess convinced me to buy it — it is covered in purple & silver holographic butterflies & I love it in all its hilariousness!)

I look really tanned in these pictures but I think it’s just the light. I have been rigorously applying sunscreen every day, never fear!
So… today I had a religious experience at Bergdorf Goodman. Firstly, they are having an epic shoe sale. Secondly, their floor staff are exceptional. Thirdly, oh my god I just bought the most beautiful pair of shoes I’ve ever seen!

I am completely smitten. Oh, my heart. Hot pink soles! Beautiful corset-esque laces! Panels of patent leather! SWOON!

Doki doki, indeed! Okay. I am going to go & make moon-eyes at them for a bit now.
Love letters & feather headdresses,







Wow! Those are some shoes! I don’t know if I could ever pull those off, but you do splendidly.
Holy crap. I am wiping the drool from my mouth as I type, because they are one of the most beautiful pairs of shoes I’ve ever seen. You could kick some serious dominatrix ass in those.
P.S. I’d love to see the butterfly bag close up!
Wow – mega shoes o:. Lovelovelove in a sock.
Awww man, those shoes are divine!
I also second the notion for a close up of that new handbag.
They look silver at the first photo or are they just shiny? Anyhow they look very very fabuloux! I’m impressed you can walk on miss killer and miss killer heels ^^
I think I just had a moment of pure ecstasy over those shoes. I need a cold shower.
I actually gasped out loud (gol) at the shoes, oh man. And I love the skirt, and the colour your hair is lately, that violet-y shade suits you so well.
SHOEGASM!
Woohoo – shoe love!
I really like your skirt. Sometimes your style, especially the colours you favour, REALLY takes me back to the 80s, BUT ONLY IN A GOOD WAY. (Yes, some of the 80s stuff was good. Truly.)
Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!
The design of those shoes are great! You get to leave behind flashes of pink as you walk down the street…
I’d like a pair myself, if I could get them made without leather. :/
Omigosh, those shoes truly are fabulous! I love your outfit, but especially the handbag. I’m tiny, so I’m always going around and buying headbands and shoes and bags that really were made for someone much younger than me. But they make such adorable things for kids these days, who can pass them up? I got the cutest rainboots from the kids dept. just last year, and of course no one I knew had them.
Oh my! What glory! What class! What JOY! I envy you for the shoes so bad, but knowing I’d never manage to walk more than two feet in them, I’ll just be happy for you hun. And the purple butterflies! Aye!
Oh my! Let me echo the sentiments above— those heels are FIERCE.
Why aren’t you mine, oh pretties?
I swear those are a work of art!
they are quite the most amazing shoes i’ve ever seen…
[ im jealous =D ]
i love them even more than my new 4 1/2 inch black gladiators with red heel! (that is quite an accomplishment for a shoe)
Those shoes themselve will make an outfit go from ordinary to fabulousity fierceness (and your outfits are amazing to begin with
I like the skirt a lot! The shoes are pretty…I’m not a huge fan but thats okay, because they are yours not mine. Gorgeous outfit Gala!
THOSE SHOES!
My mouth actually FELL OPEN. Those are amazing! Gorgeous! Beautiful! Wo-W!
I am also jealous of you having that bag. I am seriously thinking about trawling every toy shop in London in the desperate hope that a similar thing exists this side of the pond. PURPLE + BUTTERFLIES + bag of a size large enough to actually fit my glasses case into as well as all my make-up, notepad and other crap = Lady Julianne le Fay’s Perfect Bag.
Aw, thank you all for being so happy for me! I am in total RAPTURE!
Ivy — I know, aren’t they totally Catwoman but even better?! Haha. & I posted some close-ups of the bag, hope it sates your curiousity!
Amika — They have patent leather panels, so they are shiny in places, but definitely black!
neko — Aahahah! That’s how I feel too!
lee — I’m so proud to have made you gol ;D
Nadine — Of course the 80s were good, that’s when I was born! :D
Mandy — I know! I love the pink. Like Louboutins but… dare I say it… better? After all, pink is so much more me than red…
Sasha — Toy stores & children’s departments really do have the best accessories sometimes. You just have to look!
Lady Julianne le Fay — I just looked on toysrus.com to see if I could find it, but I couldn’t… it was $16, such a good deal! Would you like me to pick you one up? They had pink ones too, I think.
I love everything you’re wearing! Your outfit just goes to prove that you don’t need a designer wardrobe to look stylish. McQueen, Patricia Field, American Apparel, H&M… and Toys ‘R’ Us! It’s amazing what you can do if you’ve got a good eye for style.
I am drooling over the shoes…and I love the kid purse! My boyfriend has to tear me away from the shiny stuff meant to attract little girls! Still works on me!
A shoe deal I found…awesome shoes for under $1 and I’m not kidding…do you all know about this?? I wrote about it on one of my blogs mdesignboutique.typepad.com/me…
There are lots that are out of stock…but keep hunting and going back…Seriously amazing for we who love shoes!
Gala: You’re a footwear inspiration!
xo.M (http://www.mdesignboutique.com)
Those shoooeesss…waaant. Sadly, I’m a person that lacks money at the moment. Oh sigh.
Recently I went to a mall near me (because I realized they have 2 discount designer stores) and I nearly drooled all over the one shoe section.
You look faaaaantastic, as always!
Gala, how high are those heels?
Kristen — Totally! I love to mix the high & low end. It makes clothing much more interesting!
Juls — Pretty high! I don’t have a ruler or measuring tape here but when I press my hand along the heel, it measures from the end of my little finger to just before my wrist.
Ok – I’ll be honest and say the shoes don’t make me swoon – but they’re surely a work of art. I’d not wanna wear them: I’d just wanna put them somewhere to look at them and wonder how someone came up with the idea!
Best thing about them is the pink sole. That is gorgeous.
I do wanna know tho’: how easy are they to walk in? me thinks the corset-bit would be quite effective at making you feel very secure in them?
I need those shoes
they are the most amazing pair of hes I’e ever seen
love them
xx
Dear Gala,
I’d like to marry your shoes, when shoe and woman are legally permitted to wed.
Sincerely,
Natalie
Those shoes are beautiful and would fit right in here in Toronto.
I Heat Alexander McQueen.
Shoe love is a wonderful thing. Those shoes look like they are truly worthy of your adoration and I hope you’ll be very happy together.
Wow. Just wow. Those shoes are true art! I love your high / low mix!
Wow for me too! lol. Those shoes are amazing and they fit you perfectly!!! I think they were made just for you. :) I really like the skirt from H&M. It is so nice. Glad to hear you are being cautious about the sun. That is always a good idea. Many hugs and kisses.
ps. I like how your bag matches your hair. Vibrant colors on you are always a treat.
Those shoes are gorgeous!
You look so glamorous :)
wow. amazing shoes! And I fully endorse shopping at toys r us.
Those shoes are absolutely stunning. but That skirt is perfect, its very Balenciaga I love it
Those shoes are so amazing!!! I love the hot-pink soles. They are definitely a piece of artwork ;)
ARHJGJHJHJ
I think this is the best outfit I’ve ever seen you wear Gala. I have a lovely skirt similar to yours but it’s flouncier, now I want a more striaght version.
AND THE SHOES. OH THE SHOES.
I wish I had a Bergdorf’s here.
THOSE SHOES...(hyperventilates)...OH MY GOODNESS. You look HOTTTTT!
LANKY LIZARDS. Those are the most slinkster cool shoes I’ve viddied in a long while!
dearest gala,
those heels are damn sexxy!
i am tres jealous!
xx
ps. your daily outfits have inspired me to document mine!
check out my first one at my website!
Oh my goodness! Gala! Those shoes are DIVINE!
Now’s when I wish I had enough disposable income, and enough good shoe stores near where I live, to buy some!!
hehe. One day…
SO glad you’re having a fantastic time!!
xx
Wow, I haven’t felt the need to comment for a while, but those shoes are too much!
I love them! Pink and black are my two favourite colours. I’m just so frustrated all the time that I can’t find and pretty (and different) flat shoes. I could buy all the heels in the world but I’d still never wear them.
And the bag! Squee
WOW! Gala, those shoes are absolutely DELICIOUS! xoxo
Those shoes are ferocious! I love them.
Those shoes are gorgeous! I love how your style has evolved throughout this site’s inception, it’s gotten so sophisticated and mature, and yet there you are with a purple handbag covered in butterflies! I love that you can dress like a grownup and have fun at the same time.
oh my GOODNESS. haha, those shoes are sublime. this whole outfit just really suits you though. i love it. & the skirt is beautiful, too!
Oh.
My.
God.
!
Those shoes are to die for! :D
I love the H&M skirt as well – it’s soooo cute!
I would fall and break my neck in those shoes!
But I love them!
I ALMOST bought a purse at Toys R Us a few weeks ago! It was black and covered in multi-colored stars. The only reason I didn’t buy it was because it had NO pockets what so ever.
oh my those shoes are amazing!
That stitching is so exquisite, I can imagine it doesn’t even matter how comfortable they are for city-trekking!
Needlenix – Should they be named Weeztie Bats? ;)
SHOES. SWOON.
wow..those shoes are something arent they?.....
sweet shoes
Those shoes are gorgeous!!! Do you know the name of them (like the style) cause I searched online and I cannot find them!
bloooooody hell! those shoes are magnifique! i bet they cost a packet! i wish i could wear high heals :(
those shoes are amazing. and by the way, i featured you on my new blog! come and check it out!
Oh, Gala! Those shoes are sent from the gods!
And your AA sweater is so precious and can be used so many different ways, but I can’t find it on the site.
your hair looks GORGEOUS! :)
Those shoes are pure sex.
One more vote for “Most Amazing Shoes. Ever.”
I LOVE YOUR SHOES!!!!!!! I collect shoes and those would MAKE my collection. I have a pair of really cool shoes that are patent, must show you pictures! I wear them to school. I also love the hand bag! I love the colour
oh my goodness those shoes!
oh Gala those shoes are divine!!!
i really wouldn’t have thought that jumper and skirt would go but you pull it off so seemlessly!!!
im so inspired now :)
ohhh the rest of my comment got deleted somehow :[
well i just went on some more about your sexy goshdarn shoes and how i like your whole outfit today and how that flowery skirt is super cute and how you look gorgeous as usual.
that is all. :]
I wouldn’t be able to stand in those but zomg, covet. How much?
the shoes are stunning but the bag is the most AMAZING thing i’ve ever seen!!!!!I need to find one!you look gorgeous gala:)
xxx
Those shoes are uh-mazing!!!!!! Lucky girl!!
Hot shoes G.Dar!
those shoes are fantastic! but dear lord they look like they’d be a trip to walk in lol
Exquisite, Gala. Beautiful choice.
Oh my those shoes are amazing! I look forward to them being featured in many a daily outfit photo. Do you feel tall in them? They look like they’d add a fair bit to your height. Love the handbag too!
Those shoes are to DIE for! Absolutely stunning!
Jenny in Wellington, NZ — They’re not bad to walk in, actually! I think I have that gene which means I can walk in heels without much of a problem. So I’m happy!
Natalie — How would the vows go?! “I now pronounce you bride & shoe?”
Yetunde — Funnily enough, I am getting an airbrush tan tomorrow. Haha! I love looking brown, but only the healthy way!
Nikki — Totally! I love Balenciaga so much. I saw a 15 year old girl trying on those black/white braided Balenciaga sandals at Bergdorfs today. I didn’t really know what to think!
Trisha — Hee, well thank you! I think it’s so important to have fun with clothing! Otherwise, why get dressed at all?
ansi — Dude. They are such Witch Baby shoes. If Witch Baby became a fashionista. (Would she ever?)
Lexi — Yup, they’re the thrillingly titled “198929”. Haha. Not so imaginative! Though my shoebox says “Shiny karung/ch brillant/lucy”. ?
You can buy them on Zappos: couture.zappos.com/n/p/dp/3365… though that is more than I paid ;D
LenaLightening — Aw, thank you so much! I’m touched!
Madeline — It’s here: store.americanapparel.net/br39… Go nuts!
Aarika — They’re actually not bad! I’m going to walk around my apartment in them all day tomorrow to break them in a bit, haha!
daphne — Yes, I feel exceptionally tall in them! LOVE IT!
Best. Shoes. Ever.
The pink soles are fabulous—ever so much lovelier than the ucky red Louboutins (I know that’s sacrilege, but I’ve never liked them). Score one you!
you inspired me so I baked cupcakes and took them in to my literature class today – we had a mini cupcake party =P
yay!
spreading the sunshine
xx
gasp the bag is waaay better than I imagined! I would never have thought it was from Toys’R‘Us. Thank you for adding some close-up piccys!
Alex McQueen Love!!
gaspp!
Im taking it you love that AA grey sweater? :P
lovexx
Aww ‘make moon eyes at them’...i LOVE that expression!
Every time i see your sweater i want one…must go get one.
You’re shoes are 100% AMAZING!!!!
I cant believe you can walk in those! Massive thumbs up. xxxoooxoxox
Gala, this is the best outfit I’ve EVER seen on you! :) The shoes are magnificant, and everytime I see you wearing that sweater I search trademe desperately for american apparel stuff! (yes, trademe! You know what I’m talking about ;P) x
Lovely, lovely outfit! FIERCE shoes! Is it just me, or do the cut outs in the shoes look a bit like butterflies as well? Yay for finding them at a sale!
so to the lovely lady above me, if youre so against the phony lies, then humour me as to why you still visit the site?
nice life, probably a little too scared to confront people face to face so you target people via the internet. well, round of applause, you big strong professional adult. i hope i grow up to be just like you!
Gala, you are beautiful.
keep doing what youre doing.
im sure those select perfect beings will one day be cut down and understand what its like to live like us mere mortals.
love the shoes, btw.
OMG! those shoes!!!! :D
I.WILL.STEAL.YOUR.SHOES.
what’s happening here? why do I see ugly comments all of a sudden at iCiNG? they don’t belong here :(
& for the shoes: wroof wroof wroof! they look good on you gala!
Sounds like ely’s not happy with her free ice-cream… tantrum! We all know how to deal with attention-seekers, however.
So, moving on…
I dread to think what the original price tag on those (delicious) shoes must have been, Gala! Do you have a bargain-hunting technique, or are you just lucky? What’s your secret!?
those shoes!
I know it’s be said before… but those shoes are just… perfect. Nothing else for it. Im going to have to visit NY if such treasures can be found there!
squeal!
so jealous!
i can’t wait til i’m in america… one day!
:][:
OMG I LOVE YOUR SHOES!
its meant to be!!!
woof, Gala, those shoes are divine. I can’t breathe from jealousy. You’re my queen.
Um, one word:
SHOEGASM!
Gala, you are gorgeous. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.
the close up of those shoes are so gorgeous i want a pair for myself. though i can never go into that store i feel as if i cant afford anything in there.
oh ely. What ever shall we do with you?
Gala this outfit is soooooooo stunningly beautiful.
I love grey and I love the skirt and I love the bag and I LOVE the heels. And I really want to see your kini!
I’m going to new zealand in a week, my first time, and all I can think is “GALALAND” or maybe “GALAWOOD”
x
Ely… =[
not cool, not cool at all.
Ugh, surely negativity cannot exist in the presence of such incredible shoes! Love it, Gala, that outfit is so you. :]
(by the way, I am not a ‘lost teenager’, honey. I am a young woman in charge of her life and loving every second of it, as we all are here! iCiNG is a place of happiness and celebration, so please shoosh with this nastiness, ely!)
oh my GOSH!
faints
(remembers gala has amazing shoes and needs to look at them)
faints again
(actions 1,2 and 3 cycle for about 15 minutes)
i love that skirt you look so gorgeous. i think your inspiring me to dye my hair a random bright colour.
much love and apreash!
elys an unhappy smiley face. live a little and spread some apreash girl!
Ely lay off this isn’t your site, if you feel like bringing people down do it on your own site please.
Gala’s new shoes = Love ♥
Gala, I don’t suppose you are taking any orders for we poor bare footed lasses back in Melbourne? Wearing a corset without the matching shoes is just a damn shame.
Ely… sounds like you’re pretty lost yourself. Maybe you should do some soul searching to see why you’re spending your free time trying to spread negativity and vitriol on a site that preaches the opposite.
You go, Gala!
Gees, Ely, you have way too much spare time on your hands! Poor you. The energy it must take you to be so negative!
Gala, a truly enormous, cupcake filled thankyou for being such an amazing inspiration to the rest of us! We love you! xxx
Material Girl — I know what you mean, though! The red sole is certainly iconic, but well, hot pink is just much more “me”...
M — Aw, that’s so lovely! I hope you all had a fabulous time!
Ivy — It’s amazing huh?! Happy to oblige you ;>
lucy — YES! Hee. Softest, most comfortable thing ever.
Eva — Yes ma’am! I think they’re actually informally called “the butterfly shoe”. Butterflies have never really been my thing but they seem to be a constant in my life at the moment.
cruella — Please don’t! I’ll cry!
Claire A — Well, I bought them on sale, but they were still expensive. Much more than I have ever paid for a pair of shoes before. But, well, I work hard & I wanted to make a luxurious purchase, so I did!
nessbow — There is a shop here called Shoegasm! Though unfortunately it’s pretty average… come over & I’ll take you to Bergdorf’s! Your eyes will fall out of your head!
J — Awww, Galawood! Hahaha. Where in NZ are you going? Do you need some tips as to what to see etc.?
fifi — Oui! Craig is a friend of mine ;> Like my butterfly?
Katrina — Aw, the fainting cycle! You cutie. & you should totally dye your hair! The other day (actually the day of the cupcake picnic) I convinced a 60 year old woman in the subway to go purple… !
super kawaii mama — I wish! Anyway, you’d need to be a big-footed lass, they only had a 10 left!
these shoes are just out of this world.
worryrock — InterGALActic, planetary :D
Hi Gala, may I marry your shoes?
Wow! You look stunning, How do you manage to keep coming up with this artwork even though you don’t have all of your stuff?! And your bag and your shoes. I mean oh wow. :D
And where did you get your hair done? It’s brilliant!
vixxie.
DEAR GOD those shoes are a walking work of art.
I honestly think this is one of the fave outfits yet.
Is there character for this outfit?
A story to tell?
Oh momma those kutsu. Doki doki indeedy.
Lauren — You’ll have to race Natalie to the altar, I think! ;D
Vixxie — I just spent 4 consecutive days shopping with my friend who was in town, so I picked up a few things! Haha! I haven’t actually done a lot of shopping, apart from that. Haven’t really felt the need, I guess. But it is interesting not having everything I normally do, it means I have to pare my look back. I miss all my crazy accessories but I think I’m evolving without them!
Sigsy — The shoes totally need a story, I agree. I feel like they’re the shoes Witch Baby would wear if she grew up & became a fashionista… what do you think?
Gala and all Nonpariels!! This is totally off subject but I’ve added the pictures I tried to send you to my blog, they’re pretty cool. :D
My sister said she thinks “your shoes are the hottest thing since Ashton Kutcher!!!” btw! ;)
Epic. Shoes.
OT: I had a dream with you in last night Gala. We were shopping in Topshop and we kept diving for the same items but they were always too small for me and the right size for you. Off-putting. But everything was extravagant and fabulous and glittery confetti kept falling from the ceiling.
Oops. whilst having dinner I’ve just realised I didn’t leave you a link/adress to the blog – My bad!
vixxiemay.blogspot.com/
:)
Joanne- wow, I wish I had a dream like that, not the wrong size bit though but confetti from the cieling? Wow! I can’t wait until someones invents a machine that lets you choose your dreams! Ooo! It should have a random button too! and a button that allows you to send dreams to a friend!
I love that you can put together such awesome outfits with pieces from totally different places! Your bag is from Toys ‘R’ Us? Seriously?
Lately, I’ve been really into clothes that benefit a social cause— like green/organic clothing, raising money for breast cancer, etc. There’s this cool site www.bom411.com/ where you can design logos for hoodies and it benefits an org fighting relationship drama and violence. Does anyone know of anything else like this? I’m always on the lookout.
The shoes look delicious on you! I’m headed to the sale today!
xo, f.
Great shoe find! I got a pair of shoes there this weekend.
I do think this is one of your cutest outfits EVER.
And your purple (my fave) hair looks a bit darker, no? I likes it.
this is one of my absolute favorite outfits!
it looks mega cosy and completely adorable
plus that bag is the cutest EVER!!!!
i think ive fallen in love with those shoes. pure sexxx. im gunna totally trawl all the shoe shops i see, and hopefully i can find myself a pair.
youre my fashion inspiration, gala
xx

oh my! total shoe love! they are absolutely beautiful! i too was drooling all over the keyboard when i saw them! in fact, i showed some girls in my class them, because they were so undeniably gorgeous! yay you, i’m so pleased you are continuing to add to your fabulous shoe wardrobe! yay! glad to see you’re still loving it over there! xxx

~your faux tan
ah these photos made me so happy, thanks for making my day that much better Gala xxx
LOOOVE the outfit! So light and colorful, ITS GREAT!! my fav outfit ^^
-mika ^^
Ms. Darling,
Lovely shoes – any tips for girls who would love to strut around in shoes like that, but aren’t necessarily the most practiced in heels?
Also, did the flutterby bag come in green?? _
those shoes…that skirt…I have severe outfit envy :)
Gala – Oh yes oh yes oh yes, I would love that, if you have the time!
Not sure you’ll read this now, takes me ages to comment on things the first time around let alone the second :(
I am beyond words for your shoes. They are so beautiful. I worry I’d buy them and place them somewhere in my house as a work of art instead of actually wearing them!
Also, I totally understand the Toys R Us bag. I was just lusting over the two purses from Disney that my co-workers daughters (4 and 5.5 years old) got at HALF price! They are so cute and the perfect size and shape for summer. Those girls have the best fashion sense already.
