Great photo, right?! New York is such a fantastic place to take pictures. My day consisted of street-style hunting with Craig of Altamira NYC (like I did last Saturday!). It was so much fun!

Then, on our way back from eating peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, I saw a man with sparkling blue eyes smile at me as he walked past. I grabbed Craig’s arm & hissed, “That was Marc Jacobs!”

Craig has taken his photograph before, so we went back & said hello. Marc shook my hand (!) & told me he loved my hair! I was so excited & he is totally charming. Best celebrity sighting in NYC so far, for sure. I also saw Norelle from America’s Next Top Model cycle 3 on Broadway, but I don’t know if that counts… !


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  2. I love the look! I’m always amazed by how you combine basics and look so funky and creative. The neutral color palette really makes your hair pop, too.

    And I can’t believe you met Marc Jacobs!!! That’s AMAZING.

  3. Best story ever! (‘scuse me while I swoon now.) Last summer, this girl at work leaned back in her seat and asked, “Hey, does anyone know who Marc Jacobs is? I canvassed him today. Apparently he’s this famous designer…?”

    Jaws hit the floor, but eventually she remembered where she’d seen the name before!

  4. You’re ADORABLE! Wonderful sightings — I’m going to be in NYC in two weeks, hopefully I’ll find wonderful people too :].

    <3 Noel · May 24, 09:53 PM · #

  5. ooh! that’s thrilling. i’m quite jealous of your nyc escapades. you look fabulous and i love the scenery for these shots. (:

    <3 Lindsey · May 24, 09:55 PM · #

  6. I love that first photo. You look truly gorgeous.

    <3 Nadine · May 24, 10:00 PM · #

  7. Marc Jacobs * dies *. You have to be the luckiest person I have ever heard of!

    <3 Juls · May 24, 10:07 PM · #

  8. You’re the only girl on the planet who can pull off mouse ears and look gorgeous rather than goofy. Hunting for street style is soo much fun in NYC, albeit difficult.

    Beautiful pics, especially the one on the roof. You’re too adorable.

    <3 Emcee Morgan · May 24, 10:08 PM · #

  9. isn’t he so nice?? i met him at his soho office when i went there for an interview. you have to keep your eyes open for celebrities here in new york… they just blend right in! it’s so weird!

    ps: i really love those glittery mickey ears. i have half a mind to ask my friend to go to disney (she lives nearby) and buy me one…

    <3 gilda · May 24, 10:08 PM · #

  10. Wow… You should have got a picture with him!! :D

    <3 Kerry · May 24, 10:48 PM · #

  11. You just SAID sparkling blue eyes, and I KNEW it would be Marc Jacobs!
    Gala, you simply attract this incredible crazy luck! What’s your secret?! ;D

    <3 Retro.Bunny · May 24, 10:56 PM · #

  12. Your hair is positively GLOWING in the second picture! You look fabulous.

    <3 emma · May 24, 11:08 PM · #

  13. Gala, I can’t even tell you how much I love the photos! They are beyond awsome, really. And I am kind of jealouse of you meeting Marc Jacobs. How cool is that? Why didn’t you take a picture with him? All the best & tons of fun! Kisses

    <3 Daiane · May 24, 11:24 PM · #

  14. I screached a little bit inside upon hearing of the Marc Jacobs sighting. Super jealous x 10

    <3 Vicki · May 25, 12:17 AM · #

  15. Marc Jacobs is simply amazing.

    I just discovered your site and I am enjoying it so much.

    <3 Marisol · May 25, 12:29 AM · #

  16. that’s amazing – and you look GORGEOUS.

    <3 Natalie · May 25, 12:31 AM · #

  17. My friend and I were hanging out in a park at W4 and guess who I saw!!?? I saw this pretty young woman with bright bluish-purple hair with a good looking guy frolicking around the area.. “Oh my freak! It’s Gala!!! and hmm, Craig?”, screaming that to my friend. We were kind of far and you two were busy searching for some street fashionistas! =]

    It was cool seeing you along the streets of nyc!

    p.s. I read your blogs everyday.. I simply love it!!

    <3 tini · May 25, 12:35 AM · #

  18. Simply amazing!

  19. how cute is that!

    <3 Angie · May 25, 12:37 AM · #

  20. Marc Jacobs! That is too cute. All I’ve gotten in the years of living in New York is Geraldo Rivera D: Lucky me.

    <3 Tia · May 25, 12:42 AM · #

  21. Best outfit ever :) xox

    <3 Lisa May · May 25, 01:06 AM · #

  22. gosh! i love how you are wearing those ears!
    i just love taking a kooky accessory that should not be fashionable and making it look so cool and chic.

    and Marc Jacobs! ay yi yi!
    your life is so amazing and sweet.

    <3 maggie · May 25, 01:13 AM · #

  23. you MET marc jacobs! that is too fabulous.

    <3 kate · May 25, 01:34 AM · #

  24. marc jacobs! DAYM! gala u r da bomb, livin da dream.

    <3 Ray · May 25, 01:37 AM · #

  25. That is an excellent photo indeed. I do love the long hair on you Gala, it is feminine but still very edgey. How are you going with maintaining the intensity of colour? Is it difficult and are you using a coloured product yourself?

    <3 super kawaii mama · May 25, 03:02 AM · #

  26. abit off topic, seaofshoes.com has exceeded bandwith on all photos, im guessing this is due to all the new readers!

    <3 dallas · May 25, 03:08 AM · #

  27. marc jacobs! that’s amazing.

    <3 worryrock · May 25, 03:42 AM · #

  28. I had a designer siting the other day too! As i was driving around looking for the clothing reps place, i spotted a cute boy having lunch outside at a chic restaurant/cafe and then realised he looked familiar, it was Dan Single from Ksubi! I nearly had a heart attack because i have an obsession with ksubi! He is ever so cute in real life!

    <3 sophie · May 25, 04:49 AM · #

  29. cute! you look like a model, especially in the first one.

    <3 Sofia · May 25, 05:51 AM · #

  30. marc jacobs!!!oooh!!!how cool is that???how come i never see celebrities when i’m in nyc??mmm..must be because i’m too busy keeping my nose up to stare at the skyscrapers or down eating hotdogs&cupcakes…and, amazing outfit picture gala!!

    <3 azzurra · May 25, 06:17 AM · #

  31. NYC really suits you Gala!!!

    <3 emma gahan · May 25, 06:38 AM · #

  32. No wonder Marc Jacobs loved your hair – didn’t he do his blue for Halloween last year? I seem to recall he was being Perez Hilton? Either way he is one creative and handsome handsome handsome man and it sounds like he is as charming as he looks!
    Those silver mesh shoes are killer. They look like they should be worn with a sparkly minidress and curled hair when you’re going to Vegas!
    My only complaint about this outfit is your hair, I think it looks too bushy and undone for the outfit. The rest of it is rocking though!

    <3 iris =) · May 25, 10:27 AM · #

  33. Wonderful!

  34. Emcee Morgan — Haha, thank you! I love ridiculous accessories, they make life a lot more fun! Street-style hunting is such a huge undertaking! I’ve done it two Saturdays in a row now & I always come home totally exhausted!

    gilda — Yes, he’s mind-bendingly lovely! I was so impressed. You should totally get your friend to buy you some ears, too — they’re cheap ($13 or so?), but of course, admission to the park isn’t…

    Kerry — I know! Unfortunately we were at traffic lights, there were lots of people, & he was looking for a taxi. It wasn’t ideal timing. Next time though, definitely!

    Retro.Bunny — Haha, you’re psychic! & it isn’t luck, bebe… it’s me manifesting the life I want!

    emma — Danke schon! That’s because I touched it up recently, hee!

    Marisol — Oh, thank you, & hello!

    Natalie — It’s all Craig’s fantastic camera-work, I assure you ;>

    tini — Oh my god, that’s so funny! Hahaha! You should have come over to say hi! Next time promise me you will!

    Tia — Awww, no, not Geraldo! Anyone but Geraldo! xx

    super kawaii mama — Thanks cutie! I touch up the colour myself about once a month, it tends to fade most at the top of my hair & at the front, but it’s easy to do. Especially with Ricky’s NYC all over the place, I can pick up my Special Effects colours with no problems.

    dallas — Hee, how funny!

    sophie — That’s awesome! I think Marc Jacobs & the girl from ANTM are the only celebrities I’ve seen so far…

    azzurra — Yeah, you have to keep your eyes open! I had been style-spotting all day so my brain was already on high alert, I was in the right mindset for it!

    emma gahan — I concur! xx

    iris =) — Yeah, he was like, “Oh I love your hair, I used to have my hair that colour”. I told him he should dye it back but he said he couldn’t. Aw! & I like big hair, THE BIGGER THE BETTER! Haha.

  35. I love your shoes!

    <3 martha x · May 25, 03:02 PM · #
