Daily Outfit -- 1st December 2008

[ 1 December 2008 ]

Daily outfit

Today was a Christmas shopping adventure with my friend Jennie, though I ended up just buying a whole bunch of ridiculous things for myself. It was still fun!

Daily outfit

<3 Sparkly skull earrings
<3 Necklace from Lucid New York
<3 New t-shirt from Good As Gold (I bought it on Saturday, it says ‘PSYCHIC & MENTAL’ below the picture, it’s so great)
<3 Lace tulip skirt from H&M
<3 Pyramid stud belt
<3 Siren heels
<3 Swarovski crystal bracelet, wedding & Tarina Tarantino rings
<3 Vintage purple heart-shaped sunglasses

Daily outfit

Daily outfit

Liz from Madame Rouge sent me a pair of diamante handcuffs on Saturday, & I’m in love with them! I wore them as a bracelet on Saturday night, & they looked awesome. I’m in desperate need of a new handbag, so to tide me over, I attached the handcuffs to my old one. It makes it a little bit more exciting in the interim! I guess now I am always ready to make a glamorous citizen’s arrest! Plus they make a very satisfying jangling noise.

She also sent me a weekender kit, which looks ultra-saucy! Guess now I need to find someone to use it with… Hmmm… Any volunteers?! Liz has offered iCiNG readers a special deal, too! If you buy the diamante handcuffs & weekender kit together, you’ll get $25 off the total order when you quote iCiNGcuffs at checkout! Très fabuleux!

Oh, & I wore my new shoes for 5 hours today, trotting around the city. By the fourth hour, my feet were starting to hurt, but it was very tolerable, & I was walking around that whole time! So if you’re contemplating buying them but holding off because of the potential pain factor, they have my endorsement! Yay!


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  1. I love it! I think I love everything you were. I want you to go through my closet! You look very happy Gala! What’s your secret?

  2. I love everything here. Although those sparkly handcuffs on the bag just totally grab me. So cute. You look stunning… great finds.

  3. Gah. I saw you on the street again today on my way home from work. (I saw you on Saturday as well looking uncomfortable as we all shouted on Cuba street).

    What brand of nail polish is that?

    <3 Ms Constantine · Dec 1, 08:20 PM · #

  4. It looks so summery there! That’s terrific. The shoes are very sexy—I can see why you’re so in love with them :D

    <3 Annie Spandex · Dec 1, 08:25 PM · #

  5. Caitlin Marie — Aw! Kisses. As for my secret… Hmmm… Um… Being in control of my own destiny? ;D

    Andicat — Thanks, gorgeous!

    Ms Constantine — It’s OPI, pretty much every nailpolish I use is OPI (except for one which is a red glitter by Essie). & it’s funny that you’ve seen me twice, because I’ve only been into the city about 3 times! You should say hello next time, cutie!

    Annie Spandex — Yes, it’s lovely! I went out today with a sweater in my bag but didn’t even need to wear it, which was so great!

    <3 Gala · Dec 1, 08:31 PM · #

  6. Teehee! You actually remind me of an anime character with your pink hair and big eyes. :P

    <3 Knibbsy · Dec 1, 08:32 PM · #

  7. Mmm. I want to make babies with your shoes. That weekender kit looks like a very nice gift for myself and boy for Christmas too! :)

  9. Cool, the OPI nailpolish I have is great and I saw the pink one the other day and almost got it but only wanted it if it comes out bright. Looks like it does :]

    It must be your hair, you’re hard to miss! I always thought I’d say hi to you if I saw you but I fangirled out and could only manage a whisper to my bf that Gala is standing right behind us!! Lame. Plus my friends were wearing facepaint and indian head dresses :p

    <3 Ms Constantine · Dec 1, 08:47 PM · #

  10. Still envious of the summery-ness!

    I really need to get one of the tulip skirts that are around so much at the moment, they just look so good on everyone I’ve seen them on! I may fork out for the AA one before the day is through!

    <3 Vixel · Dec 1, 09:06 PM · #

  11. love love love this outfit!! :)

    <3 la couturier · Dec 1, 09:23 PM · #

  12. I am so in love with this whole outfit its crazy. The mixture of black, white and silver with your hair is a killer combination!

    <3 Sassy · Dec 1, 09:29 PM · #

  13. Oh my gosh Gala I looooove it. The pockets! I love the pockets because it’s dressy with dash of casual. I can’t even discuss the shoes right now because I’m too stunned to speak…that’s some badass footwear you got there. The best part about this outfit is the pink hair…it ties everything together perfectly. As usual, well done. You’re always inspiring :)

    <3 Bri · Dec 1, 09:33 PM · #

  14. Gala, you look lovely. I’m only sad I’m not in Wellington so I can’t go Gala spotting – come to Nelson for a holiday? :P Out of interest, I was wondering if you were aware of the designers Deadly Ponies? I know the pains of finding a half decent handbag – I am VERY picky – and they make great ones, available from www.generalcucumber.com online. Their entire catalogue is on their site, www.deadlyponies.com, and there are a lot of stockists in Wellington. They are making me a Mr. Sling in black as we speak!

  15. Don’t know if it’s appropriate, but just a gentle reminder that it’s World Aids Day today, people!

    <3 Feb · Dec 1, 09:51 PM · #

  16. Oh Gala!

    I love that your donation pig is now gilt in sparkles! Delightful!

    Hope you’re enjoying southern hemisphere summeryness as much as I am! Isn’t it glorious?

    <3 Lola · Dec 1, 10:14 PM · #

  17. I volunteer! :D Just say when and what country… ;)

  18. Freya — Haha, that sounds like it might be an uncomfortable session of fornication!

    Tea — I used to have a bracelet like that! In fact, I don’t know where I bought it, but I was wearing it (& a pair of normal handcuffs, too) as everyday bracelets when I first moved to Melbourne, so that’s October 2006! Mine was silver, though. Silver forever!

    Ms Constantine — Haha, that was YOU?! I loved the face paint. Your friends upstairs had just been yelling at me about my hair, they were very sweet though! & yes, I was reading a book & waiting for my friend to meet me for dinner! Next time! Promise me!

    Bri — You’re adorable!

    mlle_elle — Oh wow, their bags are really interesting. I like the one with holes & stuff in it, uh, I forgot the name… It would be aaaawesome with interchangeable inner bags in different colours/patterns to match different outfits… !

    Feb — Good reminder, thank you!

    Lola — I am a sucker for sparkles, a bozo for bling! I saw it online & couldn’t resist, haha. & yes! I love summer!

    Timmy Kern — Haha :D

    <3 Gala · Dec 1, 11:13 PM · #

  19. I love the shirt! It’s so, I don’t know what to call it, but I like it a lot!

    And those shoes I heart, heart, heart!

    Kisses.

  20. This outfit reminds me of something Carrie Bradshaw would wear! If she had gorgeous pink hair….

    <3 Katie · Dec 2, 04:22 AM · #

  21. Those cuffs are amazing!

    <3 Jami · Dec 2, 06:31 AM · #

  22. Wheee! If anything’ll liven up a handbag on its way out, it’s a pair of diamante cuffs. How fun!

    <3 Sal · Dec 2, 07:04 AM · #

  23. Whoo – the Gala+handcuffs motif is back! :D

    <3 Nadine · Dec 2, 08:23 AM · #

    <3 Gala · Dec 2, 09:27 AM · #

  26. Your hair makes every outfit look that extra bit incredible. You make me want to dye my hair pink. The only problem is that all my clothes have crazy patterns on them and I fear that the combination might make my retinas bleed. Oh well. A girl can dream!

    <3 orinoco · Dec 2, 10:55 AM · #

  27. Oh Gala! I love how you teamed the tee with a high-waited black skit. Do you mind if I totally copy this ensemble today? It’s just too awesome not too :)

    <3 Natasha · Dec 2, 11:52 AM · #

  28. :D OK, you’re so nice about meeting your readers so I promise I’ll talk to you next time I see you around.

    Thanks for being such a cool girl.

    <3 Ms Constantine · Dec 2, 12:02 PM · #

  29. orinoco — Bleeding retinas? I DREAM of bleeding retinas! Haha. Do it!

    Natasha — Of COURSE not, rip away!

    Ms Constantine — Any time ;>

    <3 Gala · Dec 2, 12:16 PM · #

  30. Gala!

    I have to ask…where did you get your shoes and can you get them anywhere online? I need a pair like them because they just call to me.

    <3 Brie · Dec 2, 12:17 PM · #

  31. Brie — Ta-da! www.shopsiren.com.au/index.php…

    <3 Gala · Dec 2, 12:44 PM · #
