Daily Outfit -- 24th April 2007

[ 24 April 2007 ]

Weird clothes for weird kids.

<3 Royal blue cardigan from Country Road
<3 Polka-dot bra from Elle Macpherson
<3 Pants by Laurie Foon (rolled up because of the heat)
<3 Labyrinth necklace from Paraphernalia (how cute is that?!)
<3 Strand of pearls, knotted
<3 Black stacked-heel slingbacks

Yesterday we spent thousands of dollars at Starfish (they stock Laurie Foon, who I LOVE). The pants are one item. More to come!


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  1. Oh. My. God. Thank you so much for that Paraphernalia link. I just freaked out over the magpie necklace. The snail is really amazing, too, as well as all of the other birds. Will be making a purchase as soon as I can decide on which one to get!! Ack, I love birds so much!!

    Sorry, I’m totally spazzing right now. :)

  2. Gala,

    Please don’t hate me for this comment but it’s going to be very male sounding…

    You have got such a fantastic rack!

  3. Sarah — I know, isn’t their stuff AMAZING? The girl who runs the company, Vanda, is fantastic, she’s super-nice & really cool. I know her shop is going to be closed from the 27th of April to the 27th of May so I suggest buying quickly!

    Robin — Hahahahah! Thanks ;> I went & bought new bras when I was in Wellington & had them properly fitted, so I’m sure that has something to do with how good they look!

  4. You look fantastic – pearl necklace again! LOOK at that midriff and cleavage, you gorgeous sexy bad-arse.

  5. You look like a cool college student

    <3 [a} · Apr 24, 09:30 PM · #
  6. Nadine — Thanks! The pearls are my new thing. I’m trying to wear them with things that are a bit “off”, so I don’t look like a right-wing political candidate… ;>

    [a} — Is that a good thing?! When I was at primary school I had to wear a sweater the same colour as my new cardigan…

    <3 Gala · Apr 24, 09:52 PM · #
  7. Hee! I every girl I know owns that bra. I own two because it makes me happy. Although mine are the demi-cup sheer kind. I was also thinking of buying that cardigan! Howeevr the sleeves bothered me a little. How is it in everyday life?

    <3 Indra · Apr 24, 09:59 PM · #
  8. Indra — It’s the best bra ever! The cardigan is fantastic, I actually really like the sleeves. I thought it was weird-looking before I tried it on but now I really like it. The sleeves are also made for perfect hitching-above-the-elbow-ness, which I always do!

  9. I pretty much wear all Elle Macpherson underwear, I have this thing where I hate any kind of padding, even the lightest kind, in bras, and I find Elle’s are one of the few brands that makes sheer or thin material that isn’t uncomfortable and looks good.

    I roll my sleeves up too! I like my forearmd free! But all my sleeves have a kind of a accordion effect now when they’re hanging, they’re so used to being rolled up!

    <3 Indra · Apr 24, 10:15 PM · #
  10. Oh, I like the padding. Good for cold/windy days!

  11. sings “It’s a small worls afterall lalala”

    My best friend came to me online today and told me to check your website. She had told me about it a couple of months ago when I broke up with my girlfriend, because you wrote an awesome text on how to deal with the end of long relationships. Ever since that I’ve grown to like your website a lot ^^. Anyways, today she linked me the main page and asked me “See if you recognize anything on those photos”. No sooner had I looked at them than I noticed your paraphernalia necklace! She’s the one who makes them. I stood with my mouth open in surprise looking at your frontpage :D It’s a small world afterall!.

  12. Ahh that’s so cute! Vanda, right? I emailed her to say THANK YOU today but if you want to pass along my undying LOVE too it would be very welcome!

    I love the way the internet connects people. I know I sound like a long-distance phonecall advertisement, but really, it is amazing & so valuable.

  13. I LOVE that necklace! I actually ordered her bicycle riding children necklace the other day, I can not WAIT until it arrives!

  14. That apartment looks amazing!

    (and so do you) :)

  15. Hey! I like your outfit. I keep having fashion dreams, last nights was that i had a label called “powerhungry” and we brought a range of t-shirts with

    “I am not here to make friends” on it in giant letters.

    <3 Davide · Apr 25, 08:26 AM · #
  16. Starfish is incredible. I finally found time to go shopping yesterday before I left Wellington and I found the most perfect coat there. But the 8 was too big and that was as small as it went. I = heartbroken.

    <3 Amy · Apr 25, 10:36 AM · #
  17. Tess — Yay! You’ll love it, I am really impressed with the quality.

    Davide — That is the best name for a label EVER. I’d kind of like a t-shirt with “Team Alienation” on it. Not because I am part of T.A. anymore, ‘cause I’m not, but as a nod to the past.

    Amy — I bought a coat there with half-sleeves, was it that one? I’m glad you liked the store, even if the sizing wasn’t quite right for you! Did you have a good time in Wellington?

    <3 Gala · Apr 25, 12:14 PM · #
  18. lovely outfit! Your website is fantastic by the way. xx

    <3 Lindsay · Apr 25, 12:54 PM · #
  19. It was gray with red lining and a red tie. So pretty! I consoled myself by buying $350 jeans instead. I really really liked Wellington, and it was nice to meet you (even if I didn’t have anything to say!)

    <3 Amy · Apr 25, 01:42 PM · #
  20. Thank you Lindsay!

    Amy — Aw! I got one in the same fabric as the pants (above), with half-length puff sleeves… I love it, I’ll model it for everyone soon ;> What sort of jeans did you buy? It was great to meet you too, thanks for coming along! I was also of the regrettably quiet (& exceptionally tired) variety, so I understand all too well!

    <3 Gala · Apr 25, 01:46 PM · #
  21. I went into Area 51 and told them what I was after and they pulled a pair off the shelf identical to what I had in my brain. They’re Sass & Bide and the most comfortable jeans ever!
