Where did you get your Hello Kitty glasses from? They are cute!! I’m currently in the market for some new frames and Hello Kitty ones would be awesome :)
Love the hat + shoes.
=D
Louise.C — I got them from an optometrist somewhere in the depths of Sydney! Sorry, not very helpful I know! I’m sure you would be able to buy them online…
EB? I was there today. Nice dresss!
Oh gosh, you look so fetching in that hat! I love it!
This outfit looks as relaxed. I love it.
whoa whoa whoa you look marvelous! and the background is a delightful change from all the snow i’ve been seeing (and feeling.. brrrrr) every day! much love gala

Thanks Gala – at least I know that they can be found in a optometrist, even if in Sydney not Auckland! :)
Haha oh Gala we can be mozzie bite twins…bound through blood present in distantly related mosquitoes?! They find me delicious and once as a little girl I got bitten so many times my parents thought I had chicken-pox…Ugh! Hope you’ve got some Stingoes on hand, I feel the pain.
xx
I like this outfit! It’s way cute!!
I love this outfit. Very playful and outdoorsy!
You dress so weirdly, but in an awesome way.. how do you do it!? :D
It may be cheap, but I LOVE that dress of yours!
this is great- so fresh and summery!
i wish i was there too!
- blargh @ squito bites. they had a BALL with my blood this summer. i had like 30 at 1 point.
but anyway, this is awesome. the hat & the glasses are my fav. i immediately noticed your face..head? [how do u word that w/o soundin creepy..lol] the purple looks so cute with ur hair. it’s laid back, but not. me likes.
Love that last shot! It really does look like a postcard! :::cries::: I miss the sun! (17°F and SNOW knee deep here!) LOL!
Oh, Gala, you are such a temptress.
Here in sunny Colorado, it is has been -18 degrees F, (-28 degrees Celsius) every night for a week.
Oh, look at that fair, fair beach.
swoon
hey, also we are landlocked here! I’ve only been to the beach once ever! lol Southern Hemisphere toootally wins.
I fall more in love with those shoes every time I see them! You look great, and I am jealous of your warm weather and proximity to the beach!
Ha! Only the other day I was looking through a really old picture of you with those glasses on and was like “I haven’t seen those for ages!” Ha!
That’s a really interesting outfit – I love the layers and the hate and the shoes and how it all fits together!
You are a fashion Genius!
Hat! Yay!
Strange seeing you in a different context. You are wearing all the things you normally wear, but you are wearing them at the beach – just a normal beach, like many I have been to. I don’t know why, but it seems odd. Mainly I think it’s the shoes, but I am projecting there, since I know I can never have any fun in heels. I like to run around a lot! (Obviously other people can have fun and/or run around in them . . . )
hey sweets, where is your awesome tee from?

This is probably a weird question, Gala, but I was wondering, when you wear this purple dress with a shirt over the top, do you fold the dress down to skirt size or just wear it normally with the shirt over the top?
Whenever I wear dresses with shirts etc. over the top, I always end up looking lumpy and Michelin-man-esque, but you always look super sweet!
xx
I adore that dress, and I’m still on a hunt for my own. These pictures make me really want to go to the beach, and I hate the beach so much, so that’s saying something.
if that’s eb then i used to live around the corner from there in pt howard (: great beach’s round there eh
you look lovely gala,the dress & tee combo simply fab
xo.
yay! sexy glasses and love your skirt! i want to be beachside today!! jealous! hahaha yayayay!
what a lovely ensemble (whenever I see that dress, I really love it)!
Kayla – You’ve only been to the beach ONCE
Oh no! You are missing out. But I’ve only seen snow once in my life, so I guess we’re even.
I cannot comprehend the idea of only going to the beach for a holiday. In summer I go a couple of times a week!!!
I’ve always loved those glasses on you Gala… they’re such a nice colour!
You are lucky you get to wear glasses!! I wish i had to wear glasses! My best friend and I were trying them on in the Optometrist….i seriously was born to wear them!!!
Gorgeous dress! I like how you wear everything; & esp. the pops of colour here & there. & I LOVE your shoes!
i remember seeing those shoes before….where are they from????
oh, that looks so…warm…D:
Starry-Eyed Gala Dearest,
GAh! That dress! You’ve gotten SO MUCH USE out of that purple dress, its so divine and it screams ‘Hi I’m Gala Darling and I bring superstarness and amazing creative vibes to the universe! Hear me roar!’
And I love the hat and glasses combo… Very chic. Keep being fantastic, dahling.

PS-Merry Christmas! Only one day till Christmas Eve! whoo! I’m accepting my orphan’s christmas and have decided to make art and eat chocolate on Christmas. And make myself gifts… Kisses!
gawd i love those shoes and i wish i was at the beach!
Mosquitoes are Minnesota’s state bird.
Geez, I wish I was there. Where I live, we got somewhere around at least a foot of snow over the psat few days. It’s been below freezing!
Haha, I remember those glasses with a yellow daschund t shirt aaages ago, it was a youtube daily outfit!
Still looking lovely as ever though
You’re utterly adorable in glasses. Like a nigh-florescent version of Liz Lemon from 30 Rock.
As I’m sludging through two feet of snow, you are looking stunning in stilettos.
You look amazing, as usual. Love the glasses! Mine are making an appearance today as well.
yay for chapeaus!!
Aww Gala you look really pretty.
Hope you have a lovely Christmas and a fabulous new year!
x Lucy
You look so studious and fun! Have a Happy Holiday!
gala i love this!
do we have urban outfitters in nz?and also where is your tee shirt from?
Hey Gala! I just wanted to say MERRY CHRISTMAS! Hope you have a fantastic day! The place where you are living right now looks beautiful…the perfect Christmas backdrop!
I also wanted to say that I really enjoyed reading your interviews. Great work!
Love Carla
OMG I can’t believe you are actually on the beach. It’s soooo cold in the U.S. right now! Love the outfit. I’m not sure if I’ve ever commented here before, but I love reading your website! Keep up the fabulous work and have a very Happy Holiday!
OMG BEACH!
you win at Kiwi-Xmas.
In Aucks the Sky is persistently being the same color as the concrete, and though the humidity is lovely it is putting a major damper on the santa-in-jandal-at-the-BBQ routine.
Instead I shall stay inside and watch the newly returned Goodnight Kiwi. Those Christmasing in the Frozen Wastelands of the Middle Arctic can grab a mug of Cocoa and join me in this activity.

one more sleep to Christmas, have Merry!
i really love your style these days! it’s fantastic!
yay! that particular beach!! has many of my favourite and first memories ever… <3
Georgina — Oui oui! & thanks!
kakeline — I keep seeing photos of my friends in the snow & it’s so weird, because it’s so warm here! Though uh, today is raining. Hahah.
Lauren — Yeah, mosquitoes love me! I wish they didn’t, though!
Alex — Haha, um, it just happens! Thank you though!
Kayla — I can’t believe you’ve only been to the beach once! That’s crazy! You need some time on a tropical island!
Vixxie — I really don’t like wearing glasses! It makes me feel like a nerd, boo! But thank you, you are way too sweet to me!
Nadine — Well, it wasn’t really appropriate beach wear! If it helps, I didn’t actually make it onto the beach, haha!
Rach — I bought my t-shirt from Good As Gold (http://goodasgold.co.nz)!
Surprise, Surprise — I just wear the dress normally. I think the way it ends up looking depends on the dress — this one isn’t very form-fitting but it’s also not very bulky, & neither is the t-shirt. I bought it a size bigger than normal because I wanted it to be longer & wider — so I could wear it like this!
Anna — Awww you’re a local!
Dymo label poet — I hate wearing glasses! You can always just buy the frames & have plain glass in them!
lisa — I bought them from Wild Pair a couple of weeks ago.
Sprinkle — Hahah, awww, thank you. & best of luck with your orphan’s Christmas! At least you’ll get to listen to the kind of music you want, that’s always the worst part of Christmas for me, haha.
Jake Money — You are amazing :D
bluejuice — Nope, I bought this hat in New York. & the shirt is from Good As Gold!
Carla Darling — Thanks, gorgeous!
Natasja — Aww! Yeah, it’s where I grew up, I have a lot of memories here too!

WELLINGTON!!!!! my home in two months!

I am actually commenting on the EFT demo video that you did. It has been a wonderful thing to use it & I am so happy you were so very clear in describing and demonstrating the technique…
Thanx! Merry Christmas
