<3 Dyrberg-Kern necklace

Daily outfit

This is what I wore to go shopping today… I felt kind of like a French schoolgirl.

I had a big list of things to buy, mostly food (I love Karen Knowler!), but also I wanted to get some new shoes & maybe a pair of sunglasses. Well, lucky me — I came across a cute little shop called Brimelows Boutique where they had good quality sunglasses for $39 a pair.

So I bought two!

New sunglasses!

The ones on the left are my standard shape — big & round. I love big, round sunglasses. I always sit on them, though, so remind me not to sit on these ones! The ones on the right are a bit more “sophisticated”. I love them too.

I went to (what felt like) every shoe shop in the city. There isn’t a lot on offer in the way of insane platform boots, which is really what I was after. I wanted something racy with a heel but other than that, I couldn’t tell you what I was looking for, only that I would know it when I found it.

I am still deep in lust with the crazy Frankenstein boots at Dizingof but I can tell from trying them on that they fall really short on practicality. It’s sad, because they really are smoochable, but there’s no good in owning shoes you can’t wear!

I tried on some Miu Miu platform boots which looked just like these except with a little gold metal stamp on the front. They were reduced to $399 & were extremely sexy but the 39 was too big & that was all they had. So I kept walking.

Until I found these.

New shoes!

They are not my ultimate Winter boot. I am still hunting for that. But these will definitely do in the meantime!


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

    <3 Surprise, Surprise · Mar 22, 06:37 PM · #

  7. Surprise, Surprise — Aww, what a shame! I don’t blame you though, I was probably grimacing like mad because by that stage my boots were totally killing me! Haha!

    <3 Gala · Mar 22, 06:39 PM · #

    <3 sarah · Mar 22, 08:55 PM · #

  12. when you are in nz you should check out Glassons, they had some different kinds on sunnys like the ones in your first picture i think in black and Turtle shell and they are only $20 so if you break them it isnt that bad

    <3 Angelique · Mar 22, 09:29 PM · #

  13. You are just adorable love.

    And those shoes! They’re gorgeous.
    I’d love to prance around town in those.
    Very very cute.
    And that hat is adorable, I love it.

    <3 Kelsey · Mar 22, 09:56 PM · #

  14. Insoles really do help when shoes are too big. I have plenty of cowboy boots that are 1-2 sizes too big, but with a felt insole, I am on my merry cowboy boot wearin’ way…

    <3 scarlett · Mar 22, 09:59 PM · #

  15. happy for you!
    maybe you can find them (the perfect boots) in new zealand…

    <3 irmak · Mar 22, 10:19 PM · #

    <3 Nicola · Mar 22, 10:43 PM · #

  17. My sunnies are from Brimelows too, they’re rad! Did you check out the shop across from Brimelows with the wicked plastic jewellery?

    <3 Kerry · Mar 22, 11:02 PM · #

  18. Ooooh Tres Christian Louboutin Metallika, but sans the price tag!!

    <3 Jess · Mar 23, 12:04 AM · #

  19. Kerry — No, I didn’t even see it… ?!

    Jess — Mais, bien sûr! ;D More comfortable, too… The originals kill.

    <3 Gala · Mar 23, 12:07 AM · #

  20. where are the new shoes from??? they are fabulous! ;-)

    <3 patience meliora blythe · Mar 23, 02:44 AM · #

  21. I love the way you always integrate your glasses (which I assume are for your sight and not just an accessory?) into your outfit. They are always totally in tune with the rest of what you’re wearing, to the point that your outfit wouldn’t be complete without whatever gorgeous eyewear you’ve got on. I don’t wear glasses, but looking at your pictures I sometimes wish I did!

    You look incredibly arty, intellectual and sophisticated here.

    <3 Alice · Mar 23, 03:11 AM · #

  22. ah, i’m wearing my black beret today too!

    <3 willa · Mar 23, 06:58 AM · #

  23. scrumptious shoes, and great stockings!I especially love the tie with the first outfit =)

    <3 steph · Mar 23, 07:09 AM · #

  24. also dior cannage sunglasses are something you might like

    <3 sarah · Mar 23, 07:54 AM · #

  25. Gala! The most recent note from the universe has blown me away and just confirmed to me that life is so mysterious and magical!

    “Of course, Maggie, once they see you graduate high school., they’ll still call you lucky, but way deep down they’ll begin to wonder….”

    I’m trying really hard to graduate high school by June so I can go forth and have the most amazing adventure, but everyone is telling me it isn’t possible and I’ll probably need to come back next year. But I think this proves it, if I keep at it, it’s going to happen for me!!

    ahhhhh, i just needed to share that.

    <3 Maggie · Mar 23, 08:52 AM · #

  26. i just discovered your blog, and i’m so glad to find one with a girl that wears glasses and does it oh so well (i’ve been bespectacled for years too)! also, your hair = amazing.

    <3 roxanne · Mar 23, 08:53 AM · #

  27. Ok Gala, cute shoes! How much and wear!?

    Question!

    I have hair that is probably twice as long as yours and 10 times as thick – would it be futile for me to even attempt to get it all to stay in a beret like you did in those last photos?

    Do you just tie your hair up and shove it in, or is there some complicated art to achieving that look.

    <3 Claire · Mar 23, 11:53 AM · #

  28. goodness gracious gala do you ever get tired of always looking so fabulous?!?

    I’m totally inspired to pull out the tie currently collecting dust in my closet…

    <3 jamie · Mar 23, 01:04 PM · #

  29. Those first pair of sunglasses look great on you!
    Those boots are to die for.

    <3 sarahmilan · Mar 23, 02:29 PM · #

  30. I love your outfit (and new shoes)! Too insanely cute :) Is cold there this time of the year? (Just wondering because of all the black.) I live in the Southeastern US and it is sweltering here :(

    I like the tie. I wear ties to college. I think I am the only girl in a school of 50,000 who does, but I don’t care. It’s too fun and makes me feel all anime :D

    <3 Lana · Mar 23, 03:17 PM · #

  31. i would never take those shoes off! and i love that you’re rockin’ a tie. i always want to incorporate a tie into my outfit without looking like i walked into a hot topic and grabbed the nearest thing :/ if you know what i mean. you do it wonderfully :D

    <3 sarah frost · Mar 23, 03:54 PM · #

  32. Claire — $135 (I think) from Zomp on Little Collins Street! (I think it’s called Zomp? That’s what the bag says… Man, I’m hopeless!)

    & I just put my hair in a bun & chucked the beret over the top. If you secure your hair it should be fine!

    Lana — Yup, it’s definitely cooling down…

    <3 Gala · Mar 23, 04:21 PM · #

  33. hey i have a question…. where can i get an awesome cardigan, u know the type im talking about like grey, indie. that kind of thing?

    <3 ariane · Mar 25, 01:02 AM · #

  34. God. I love it. Mainly I think it’s the tie, but also it’s the whole look.

    You wear too much black for me, Miss Gala. Not too much for YOU, but way more than I could get away with. (Unflattering. Washes me out.)

    <3 Nadine · Mar 25, 04:07 PM · #

  35. yes yes yes, I like this outfit very much Gala :)
    xoxo
