Daily Outfit -- 20th May 2008

[ 20 May 2008 ]

For those of who you don’t know, I moved into my very own apartment last night! There are not enough exclamation marks in the entire world to demonstrate my excitement, glee, happiness & relief! I am staying in a superb apartment in the West Village until the end of July, & I made a little video tour of it if you want to see my new digs!

Anyway, finally I can see my clothing (I have a wardrobe!) & set up my camera & tripod (there is lots of space!) & get dressed up & trot around! So I thought it was time for a daily outfit photo. Long overdue, hmm?

Daily outfit

<3 Mouse hat with ‘Gala’ stitched on the front (thanks, Disney!)
<3 Silver earrings from Sportsgirl
<3 Black scarf (it’s really cold!)
<3 Long-sleeved black merino wool top
<3 Grey v-neck t-shirt from American Apparel
<3 High-waisted culottes from H&M (purchased yesterday; so much love)
<3 Black socks
<3 Ankle booties!

Daily outfit

Daily outfit
Gala Maus reporting for duty, sir yes sir!

Now I am going to go & find a laundromat, meet No Impact Man for coffee & delight in the fact that I have a home!


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  1. Those ears!!! So cute! I’d be eating, sleeping, and breathing in them if I had a pair.

  2. Did you dye your hair dark purple or is it just the lighting? Anyway, it looks good. Congrats on the apt!

    <3 Annie · May 20, 02:56 PM · #

  3. Congrats on your pad! I think moving into a new place is so exciting. It’s like a haircut—a new chance to make everything exactly how you like it. And I love your old-fashioned radiator; I grew up in an old Victorian house with a big old radiator in each room. Mine whistled at night in the wintertime. Also…I hope you have something delightful to read, since you’ll need something to do while you guard your laundry like a hawk :)

  4. Hey, your hair looks different. Didn’t you just get it done?

    <3 Trisha · May 20, 03:08 PM · #

  5. Your hair looks fabulous. Also loving the grey T-shirt with scarf.

    <3 Nadine · May 20, 03:20 PM · #

  6. Wow have you moved for good? I thought you were on holiday!

    <3 Zoe · May 20, 03:27 PM · #

  7. What a beautiful apartment! Looks wicked expensive.

    How are you faring wearing long sleeves in summertime in NYC?!

    <3 sora · May 20, 04:05 PM · #

  8. Oh your place looks gorgeous! How much do you feel like Carrie Bradshaw, writing on your Mac in your apartment in New York!?

    And you’ll be in NY for the premier of the movie. Lu-cky!

    <3 Joanne · May 20, 04:22 PM · #

  9. Love the mouse ears and the grey t-shirt – so cute!

    <3 x Miss C x · May 20, 04:34 PM · #

  10. Oh, I love the new culottes! x

    <3 Felicity · May 20, 04:51 PM · #

  11. I love the apartment. I don’t know a lot about NYC real estate, but it looks pretty great for NYC, based on what little I know of the city’s apartment market.

    <3 Adam · May 20, 05:02 PM · #

  12. Yay for getting a place! I can imagine that is a tremendous lift off of your shoulders! I just looked at an apartment today in my small town. And guess what? The land lady was explaining to me what it used to be…a brothel. How kinky is that? laughs Anyway, Congrats to you!

    <3 Jenna · May 20, 05:04 PM · #

  13. Congrats on the new apartment, it looks great!

    <3 Juls · May 20, 05:39 PM · #

  14. you are meeting colin?! wow, how did that get set up? i love his blog!!

    <3 holly · May 20, 05:45 PM · #

  15. Wow, it’s crazy – I wore mouse ears for my daily outfit photo today too!

  16. olivia — I love them so much! Unfortunately they don’t stay on if there is a stiff breeze. They wouldn’t be good to sail in ;D They have an elastic chin strap but that is way too naff for me!

    Annie — I actually re-coloured the front of my hair last night because it was fading & going grey (which tends to happen). Unfortunately when I went to Ricky’s I couldn’t find my usual purple, & had to use something else. It is a bit more red than I would like. I am going to fix it up soon :>

    Material Girl — No way, I’m going to drop it off so they can do it for me!

    Trisha — I re-coloured it but used a different shade… !

    Nadine — Grey v-neck t-shirts are my new obsession! So much love!

    Zoe — Nope, I’m only here for another two months, but subletting is much cheaper than staying in a hotel!

    sora — It’s freezing here today! It has been since I got back from Florida actually. I put an extra blanket on the bed & everything.

    Joanne — Haha, & even funnier, Sarah Jessica Parker’s house is about five streets away! I walked down her street today on the way back from coffee!

    Felicity — Me tooooo! I also bought some plain black 3/4 length pants from H&M at the same time, my favourite type of trouser!

    Adam — Yeah, it is an excellent size for NYC!

    Jenna — Oh my god, brothel-house! That’s so cool. If you moved in you would have to do a painted lady theme. Pin-ups girls on the walls, red lights in the hallway, whips on the wall…

    Juls — Merci beaucoup sweetie-pie!

    holly — We’ve been talking online for a while! He is so lovely, we had a great chat :>

    amber catch — That’s so awesome! Great minds mice think alike, hee hee.

    <3 Gala · May 20, 05:51 PM · #

  17. it’s that cold in New York today? I envy you, as it is upwards of 105 fahrenheit here in Phoenix! cute ears Gala. :D

    <3 Cassidy · May 20, 06:03 PM · #

  18. Cassidy — Yes m’am! It’s 50F, 10C. Brrrr!

    <3 Gala · May 20, 06:11 PM · #

  19. Oh, funny outfit story. When I left the apartment today I threw my leather jacket on over the top, & when I went into American Apparel the guy behind the counter told me that my outfit is exactly what he would wear if he was a girl. It was cute.

    <3 Gala · May 20, 06:17 PM · #

  20. Welcome to America! Sorry it’s so cold when it’s supposed to be summer. :(

    <3 Leslie · May 20, 06:40 PM · #

  21. Oh wow, what a sweet man! Where you wearing the ears at the time?!

    <3 Joanne · May 20, 06:47 PM · #

  22. Gosh, Gala, I love that ‘it’s so cold!’ comment because my friends and I were just saying how nice and warm it was. Good thing you’re here for the summer and not those bitterly cold winters, huh?! ;D

    <3 Trisha · May 20, 08:04 PM · #

  23. I love your apartment Gala – you’re soo kind sharing with us! Love the style and gah! It’s sooo what I imagine a New York apartment to be!

    So pleased for you :> Oh, and New York looks good on you

    xxx

    <3 Nic · May 20, 10:53 PM · #

  24. You met No Impact Man, so cool! I’d love it if you wrote about some of the things you talked about!

    <3 Nikki · May 21, 12:06 AM · #

  25. Nic — Thank you, cutie!

    Nikki — I feel a bit weird about broadcasting our conversation! But we talked about all kinds of stuff, including writing, our readers, other people’s websites, sustainability, consumption, self-healing techniques (I taught him EFT in the middle of the café!), meditation, celebrities… ! Heaps of stuff! Hope that sates your curiosity some, hee. He is an awesome guy :>

    <3 Gala · May 21, 01:05 AM · #

  26. oh that video doesn’t do your place justice. it’s really a great apartment and i’m really glad you found it after… after the you-know-what. it’s superb. expensive, but just perfect!

    <3 gilda · May 21, 02:07 AM · #

  27. Beyond dreamy. Such an amazing place!
    In a great area! And sort of close to Magnolia and Marc Jacobs!

    <3 Nubby · May 21, 04:59 AM · #

  28. Kaci — You’re looking at it, sweet-pea!

    Nubby — I am sooooo close to both those places! Eeee!

    <3 Gala · May 21, 09:24 AM · #

  29. Woah check out your shadow in the 4th photo! That’s cool. Glad you found place to stay. Must be a huge relief, as well as being massively exciting! U are living in NYC!!!

    <3 desert_rose · May 21, 09:32 AM · #

  30. You look so adorable in the second picture that it isn’t even funny.

    <3 Tara Diane · May 21, 11:44 AM · #

  31. So, you can get any name on mouse ears? Or is Gala just a hip word at DisneyLand :) ?
