Daily Outfit: 24th November 2009

[ 25 November 2009 ]

Daily outfit

Greetings from New York City, where it is starting to get really, really cold!

<3 Faux-leather jacket from H&M
<3 Wrap cardigan by Paula Ryan (worn undone)
<3 Building A Mystery dress from ModCloth
<3 Belt from Forever 21
<3 Ripped black stockings
<3 Faux Doc Martens from Forever 21
<3 Bag from Forever 21
<3 Fingerless gloves from St Mark’s Place

The Dish took these photos of me outside Credit Suisse on Madison Avenue. We had just eaten burgers & sipped milkshakes outside at the Shake Shack in Madison Square Park, & were killing time until P.O.S. went onstage at the Gramercy Theatre…

P.O.S.

He was fantastic — of course. He’s playing Philly tonight & a bunch of other dates. You should go. If you don’t enjoy his set, I will eat my hat! I swear!

Daily outfit

ModCloth sent me this dress a little while ago, & I like it so so much. At first I thought it might be too short, but it’s actually perfect. I removed the fabric belt & replaced it with this one from Forever 21 which we’ll call “an homage” to the belt they used with pretty every much every dress in the Sex & The City movie (nicknamed Roger). The dress is fab though. You can make it pretty with a headband & Mary Janes or messy with studs & rips, like I did. I like mess. Good for the soul, innit?

Daily outfit

I wish I had better photos, but it was very low light low life. (See what I did there?)

To ease the pain, the product shot is below so you can see it in all its glory. Yummy!

ModCloth

Lol

I leave you with the face I make in real life about 80% of the time!

Okay, now I am going to go work up an appetite for Thanksgiving! Lots of love to you!


Love letters & feather headdresses,

  4. I love that dress, it was made to be warn with a (fake) leather jacket I think! :)

  9. You seriously inspire me to dress how I want to. And not how I think I should because, this other girl does.

    I like this outfit allot, but it’s so BLACK. O_o

  10. I love the dress! Especially the ruffly skirt. I think I need a black ruffly skirt. The outfit as a whole looks great too; I like how it’s all black, but the different textures keep it from being boring.

    Happy Thanksgiving, Gala! So fitting that it falls on a Thursday, isn’t it? :)

  11. Alzy — Don’t bother, it is the most overhyped eating experience in all of New York. I can tell you the names of about a zillion other burger places in New York where the burgers are a) about three trillion times better & b) don’t have a 10-90 minute wait time attached. It was my first & last time there!

    Michelle — Yeah I was thinking that too :D

  12. That dress has sold out now. boo :( It’s gorgeous, I’d love something exactly the same, but in red. (20 black dresses already, not nearly enough red).

    New Year’s resolution – learn to sew hawt red dresses, methinks.

  26. Haha, omg, Gala, I just realised, I think we have exactly the same haircut right now. lol. Except, mine keeps going crazy and wicked curly because it’s really hot here. :)
