  2. woohoo daily outfit~
    The more I visit this site, the more I realize I need to add colorful skirts to my wardrobe.

  3. I love the clever way you’re wearing the dress! And I really like your hair like that. Also, racerbacks for life! Really want to know ( in detail ) why you got kicked out of a taxi . . .

  4. love the dress-turned skirt! and your pink eyeshadow! (and everything else as always)

  5. Oh you look pretty! I love the skirt/dress, what an awesome idea!

    <3 Tara · Jul 25, 11:36 PM · #

  6. It was absolutely wonderful meeting you and Xenia today! That outfit looked even better in person!

    The store I mentioned, by the way, is Gabbay’s :) and don’t forget to try that dress-as-scarf idea if you get the chance!

    <3 Tee (a.k.a. Tessa) · Jul 26, 12:05 AM · #

  7. Yeah you naughty things, need to know why you got kicked out of a taxi now! I hope it was for something horrifying like taking saucy pictures to send the Dish on your phone and giggling away like schoolgirls. :P

    <3 Lauren · Jul 26, 12:19 AM · #

  8. i love the last photo – you got horns! :D

    <3 annaloren · Jul 26, 12:27 AM · #

  9. I am so very in love with this outfit. It’s very creative. Love the bag and shoes especially!

    <3 Tami · Jul 26, 12:43 AM · #

  10. I’ve never seen anybody do that with a dress before, very innovative! Awesomeness!!

    <3 Angie · Jul 26, 12:48 AM · #

  11. I LOVE the skirt/dress! So shiny. That sounds like my kind of party!

    <3 Michelle · Jul 26, 01:13 AM · #

  12. I’m sorry that I made you expose your nipples to the taxi driver today. It’s one of those ideas that seemed genius at first…

    <3 Doe Deere Blogazine · Jul 26, 01:19 AM · #

  13. OMG I spat green tea all over my desk just from reading Doe Deere’s comment.

    I LOVE that purple skirt/dress. LOVE it. I need to find something like that to admire every day IRL.

    <3 Justine Loves! · Jul 26, 01:37 AM · #

  14. I saw you on the southeast corner of Washington Square Park today! It was very exciting. (Haha, I immediately pulled out my cellphone to text Weily in CAPSLOCK in my excitement.) You looked even better in person!

    If I had known that you were also with Doe Deere at the time, I probably would have stopped and talked to you excitedly about how much I adore the both of you very much. :D

    <3 Tierra · Jul 26, 02:13 AM · #

  15. I love the dress/skirt! Perfect. Vintage is totally the way forward!

    <3 Lulu Bee · Jul 26, 02:24 AM · #

  16. Aww, Gala every one of your Daily Outfit posts inspires me to do something more exciting with my own wardrobe. I love the dress-as-a-skirt.

    P.S: I wore a crazy headscarf today, and it was totally inspired by you.

    <3 Stacey · Jul 26, 02:28 AM · #

  17. I’m in love with every single piece, but that purple Diana Ross-esque skirt is literally heaven in a frock.

    <3 x Corrine/Frock & Roll x · Jul 26, 03:15 AM · #

  18. I really love your look. You hair is so fun- brings me back to the days where I would dye my hair all sorts of fun colors!
    I always feel like my clothes are too colorful but you have proven that the more color- the better :) keep it up- ill be checking back!

    <3 Marie-Louise · Jul 26, 03:51 AM · #

  19. You look perfect for a Tarina Tarantino party! I especially love the shoes, solestruck is great isn’t it?
    Can’t wait to see more of the photos!

    <3 Luinae · Jul 26, 03:51 AM · #

  20. I THOUGHT that was a DRESS!!!! LOL

    I do this ALL the time (It’s the frugalista in me haha!) so super cool seeing it on you in the iCiNG bowl!

    PS: It’s also the CREATIVE in me wink wink :P

    <3 lulubrownskin · Jul 26, 04:01 AM · #

  21. Post-postscript: did anyone win the SoleStruck shoes?

    <3 lulubrownskin · Jul 26, 04:03 AM · #

  22. i keep wondering if i am gonna see your pink head around town one of these days… :) if i look for trouble, maybe i’ll find you! kidding.

    <3 tricia of bitsandbobbins.com · Jul 26, 06:51 AM · #

  23. I don’t see hats like that too often in the summer and it looks great with your outfit!

    Take care!
    -Christine

    <3 Christine · Jul 26, 09:16 AM · #

  24. You look lovely as usual, but imagining you and Doe Deere going on a shopping spree together is just amazing.

    <3 Mermaid · Jul 26, 09:30 AM · #

  25. Bella!
    I love your hair like this, did you get it cut into a ‘bob’? :) I had mine cut into a bob on Wednesday; it feels so fresh.
    I love your ‘Tank Girl’ look too :)

    <3 Lucy · Jul 26, 09:44 AM · #

  26. I’m a sucker for Mary Janes!

    <3 Savannah · Jul 26, 09:51 AM · #

  27. purple suits you very well. and it’s so incredibly obvious what your favorite wall is, haha.

    and you and miss xenia out and about together?? love it!! i already know you two are the two girls that turn the most heads. and i’d love to hear the entire story of getting kicked out of the cab, haha.

    <3 Tiffany · Jul 26, 10:00 AM · #

  28. Tessa — Yay! I’m on a bit of a purple kick right now too…

    AntiqueHighHeelRedDollShoes — Colourful skirts are a new thing to me but I am very very into them!

    Tee — It was wonderful to meet you too, you have rad shoes & were so charming. I put your sketches up on my fridge!

    annaloren — Haha I noticed that, I wish I had lined it up better for ULTIMATE horns though!

    Doe Deere — I know. But I think it was the dry-humping of his leather upholstery that really pushed him over the edge…

    Justine Loves! — You should be able to find something like it in a good vintage store… Sequinned mini-dresses abound!

    Tierra — Oh haha! Yes we were standing there hailing a cab, having walked up from Prince… Next time come & say hello!

    Stacey — I love a good crazy headscarf! I actually bought one when I bought this dress, it’s neon & covered in psychedelic butterflies… It’s so bright it’s almost a bit intimidating, I haven’t worn it much!

    Corrine — I almost didn’t buy it! We have Miss Jazzi McG to think!

    lulubrownskin — Yes, like a MILLION years ago!

    tricia of bitsandbobbins.com — Haha! Well I walk all over the city so it’s inevitable you will see me at some point, I’m sure! :D

    Christine — My hair is at such an awkward length right now, & it’s so hot that it just goes limp, so I decided to salvage it by covering it with a hat. Haha.

    Mermaid — Haha, it was fun. Comparing pairs of sunglasses on their relative merits!

    Lucy — Nope! It’s just pinned up at the back & hidden under my hat. I’m getting long hair again in a couple of weeks!

    Savannah — Oh me too!

    <3 Gala · Jul 26, 10:02 AM · #

  29. That skirt/dress is effing incredible! I wear a ton of purple, but that’s just gorgeous! I hope Tarina Tarantino’s party was a blast! I can’t imagine it wasn’t. :)

    <3 Alzy · Jul 26, 11:21 AM · #

  30. Awesome outfit! I love Modcloth, I wish I could afford to buy and have the stuff shipped over here to the UK.

    <3 Alice · Jul 26, 11:33 AM · #

  31. You can do no wrong! I love your skirts and that necklace is to DIE for, the blue one like it is nice too.

    also i’d like to send you something, could you email me a postal address?

    <3 Marissa Manslaughter · Jul 26, 01:08 PM · #

  32. Hmmm, have you been up to mischief?? And also, my love for that ‘skirt’ knows no bounds… I might prefer it personally without the awkward fold down, but honestly I’d have never noticed that unless you’d said something, haha. There’s nothing as fun as being glittery from head to toe!

    <3 Limespark · Jul 26, 05:23 PM · #

  33. Kicked out of a taxi?
    Do elaborate!!

    <3 india · Jul 26, 06:16 PM · #

  34. i went to that party late in the afternoon, wish i had seen you! tarina is such a sweetheart and i saw that feather headdress that you have, oh my god it’s gorgeous. also, raspberry gingerale? MY NEW FAVORITE THING. IT’S GOING ON NEXT WEEK’S TILT LIST.

    <3 diana · Jul 26, 08:11 PM · #

  35. Gala thanks for being such a great wardrobe inspiration. I was thinking about how happy the colors of your clothing make me and others when we see them (like this stunning skirt!) and as of today I’ve surrendered just a bit of my usual goth black for color. It works wonders on one’s mood!

    <3 M · Jul 27, 01:10 AM · #

  36. Sigh… you have fantastic style, Gala! Such an inspiration but I just don’t know how to go about it!

    I really like your skirt – or should I say dress. That’s a good idea actually, putting a shirt over a dress. I’ll have to try it sometime :)

    <3 Renee | Beauty Fool · Jul 27, 02:20 AM · #

    OT, but I just noticed that Sock Dreams now has a graphic that kinda reminds me of your previous page topper.

    <3 Nicole · Jul 27, 11:25 PM · #

    <3 Penelope · Jul 28, 01:11 AM · #

  47. i took inspiration from you today and wore my dress as a skirt. it looked great! i was so pleased because the bust of the dress is a bit big for me, but i really love the material – perfect fix! :D! so happy!
