Daily Outfit -- 27th July 2008

[ 27 July 2008 ]

Daily outfit

This was my sultry/relaxed (new genre!) dinner outfit. I ate Thai food. It was awesome.

<3 Black slip from Urban Outfitters
<3 Long black cardigan, also from Urban Outfitters
<3 Ripped black stockings from a fun knife excursion the other day !
<3 Frye boots
<3 Two charm bracelets (I have a new one from Coney Island!) & Swarovski crystal bracelet

Daily outfit

Excuse my sullen look! I actually had a really good night.

Last New York outfit photos for a while! Eeeeee! My apartment is all packed up & weird-looking… Don’t want to leave… !


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  1. Gala, I really like the new hair… and I am going to miss being in the same time zone! No longer will I be awake when you post…!

  2. Wow Gala, you look amazing in that outfit and the pictures and poses are so fitting for it

    <3 Hannah · Jul 27, 11:11 PM · #

  3. You look sophisticated in those photos.
    Urban Outfitters is my FAVOURITE store.
    What is the nail polish you are wearing?

  4. You know, I TOTALLY know what you mean by the “sultry/relaxed” look—it’s always been my favorite, it just needed to be named!

    I’ve become really enamored of your extensions, too! With the longer hair and all-black outfit, you look super-super-tall!

    <3 Alice · Jul 27, 11:13 PM · #

  5. Your hair is getting long! Looks good!

    <3 Brandy · Jul 27, 11:25 PM · #

  6. Oooh, I love you in all black! Cuteness!

    <3 Nubby · Jul 27, 11:34 PM · #

    <3 thefishanddelilah · Jul 27, 11:47 PM · #

  8. Never got to tell you in person, but your shoe collection is da best! cheers to the future!

    <3 b. anca · Jul 27, 11:54 PM · #

  9. Guess what? This is definitely my second favourite outfit of yours! You are indeed looking rather sultry and minxy miss Gala, as well as comfy and cosy. Very much love your poses and expressions for the set too – works with the look! Love it.

    <3 iris =) · Jul 28, 12:03 AM · #

  10. I love~love this outfit, Gala! :) It looks just like something that I would love to wear. Hurry back to the U.S.— we miss you all ready!

  11. Gala, your hair looks amazing!

    <3 x Miss Corrine x · Jul 28, 12:18 AM · #

  12. It’s just not fair how good you look in black (since I don’t). And I love it when your hair looks extra-dark in photos. Gorgeous outfit, especially the boots.

    <3 Nadine · Jul 28, 12:20 AM · #

  13. Love those ripped stockings, YUM! You should start your own clothing range, like an actual store, of the kind of things you wear, simple but always amazing. That would be a very popular store ! love…mini x

    <3 mini · Jul 28, 12:25 AM · #

  14. Fabulous outfit!

    <3 Marisol · Jul 28, 12:33 AM · #

  15. Absolutely gorgeous! Everything came together so well and the subtle contrast between your outfit and hair is brilliant!

    I was just having a conversation with my friend about a darker aesthetic when I brought up my browser, talk about perfect timing!

    <3 Renee · Jul 28, 12:39 AM · #

  16. You look so gorgeous! I absolutely LOVE this outfit…and your hair looks so amazing!!! I saw that cardigan at UO the other day and was sooooo tempted to buy it! Too much retail therapy lately, though!

    <3 Lauren · Jul 28, 12:40 AM · #

  17. You look like a Harajuka chick :D Awesome!

    <3 Ivy · Jul 28, 12:44 AM · #

  18. Come back soon! New York looks good on you… ;D Muah! (blowing kisses with a bubble wand in hand)

    <3 ansi · Jul 28, 12:45 AM · #

  19. most awesome outfit ever! i love it!

  20. [sings] Back to Goth, Back to reality…

    <3 thomasbeagle · Jul 28, 01:04 AM · #

  21. You look extra gorgeous Gala!!

    I’m just so envious of you (and your very excellent wardrobe)..

    <3 lily · Jul 28, 01:21 AM · #

  22. You look like you have grown (just a bit) – in a good way that is :]
    Oh & I love the stockings+knife photos! DROOL!

    <3 irmak · Jul 28, 01:33 AM · #

  23. This outfit is fantastic. how did you rip those tights like that? i’ve been trying to do that for years and i always make them look so terrible!

    <3 lane · Jul 28, 01:48 AM · #

  24. Not sullen, mysteriously alluring!

    <3 bri · Jul 28, 02:14 AM · #

  25. You look great! I love it!

    Wish we could have hung out one last time before you headed back for the Southern Hemishpere, but alas, another time awaits in Feb.

    Take care!!!

    <3 altamiranyc · Jul 28, 02:31 AM · #

  26. You look beautiful, and that is an excellent way to wear a slip that I haven’t thought of.
    You make me want to invest in a nice long cardigan.
    Boo to you and your good genes!

    <3 Lindsay · Jul 28, 02:48 AM · #

  27. Stunning. Oh, and new hair? Looks great.

    <3 rachel · Jul 28, 02:52 AM · #

  28. Gala, this is the best I’ve ever seen you look! :) I love it! Hope you’re all okay, we’re all here for you

    <3 Jo · Jul 28, 03:41 AM · #

  29. Safe journey back, missus. Enjoy seeing your friends and family; post when you can.

    <3 Annie Goddard · Jul 28, 04:11 AM · #

  30. haha a knife excursion… that sounds like an adams family dream to me :). Ha ha. Teacher: “Now boys and girls, where shall we go on our excursi-” Gorgously game Gothic girl with long black hair and the last name Adams;): “A knife excursion miss!”

    I ripped up jeans because i thought if the models walk round in ripped up jeans, i am too- and i always get comments… good and bad :). I get alot of comments from old women… ohmy what happened here? its lovely and inspiring isnt it.

    <3 BeKaH · Jul 28, 04:11 AM · #

  31. You look BEAUTIFUL!! Love your hair! What precisely is new about it, though? Sorry if I missed the update in an earlier post…

    <3 Elle · Jul 28, 04:11 AM · #

  32. Seriously, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of you looking so beautiful :)

    <3 Ajda K · Jul 28, 04:16 AM · #

  33. i went out for thai last nite too!
    P.S. i want your cardy and slip!
    =o)

    <3 miss meg · Jul 28, 04:21 AM · #

  34. Love the hair and your make-up is quite ass-kicking even though it’s so simple.
    Love the black slip too. I want one.
    My room is all packed too and it feels weird indeed. I’m leaving home for college tomorrow (Tuesday) and am moving to another (bigger) city.
    I’m really excited but it’s all really starting to sink in.
    I’ll be very busy too and internet-limited so it’s the perfect time for me to have icing slow. LOL, that’s so selfish of me :)
    Oh and the other while reading a magazine and saw a Quicksilver ad that said “When you know who you are, new ideas are icing.” I instantly though of you. And you know, it’ kinda true.
    You’re awesome. Good luck and lots of best wishes again.
    Infinite x’s & o’s…

    <3 M.B. Whimsical · Jul 28, 04:22 AM · #

  35. You look great…Urban Outfitters here I come! Although a long black cardigan isn’t what I need in London’s 40 degree heat at the moment :P Have a safe flight back to Melbs! xx

    <3 Philippa · Jul 28, 04:54 AM · #

  36. I am in love with this look. Seriously. You look awesome. So it’s now my inspiration for a/w 2008 :) x

    <3 B · Jul 28, 05:28 AM · #

  37. You look great in black. I wear a lot of black lately… it means my accessories can be any colour I want them to be!

    <3 Kerry · Jul 28, 05:30 AM · #

    <3 Valentina · Jul 28, 05:47 AM · #

  40. You look absolutely gorgeous in this outfit. You should wear this style more often.

    <3 Asha-Niketan · Jul 28, 05:54 AM · #

  41. You look as fabulous as ever!
    Is that a pinch of your old goth ways I see poking out? Yeah..the ripped tights were a givaway!
    Hey, did you buy them like that or did you just rip a pair yourself?
    Best of luck with your travels,
    Vixxie.

    <3 Vixxie · Jul 28, 06:01 AM · #

  42. So beautiful :)

    <3 [a} · Jul 28, 06:45 AM · #

  43. Wowza Miss Gala,
    how Gorgeous are you?! I am in love. Totally smitten, Kitten.

    I love how you’ve mixed sexy with comfy. This outfit makes me excited for fall & winter.

    xoxoxoxo!

    <3 DanaBelle · Jul 28, 06:45 AM · #

  44. You do look sad, must be because you’re leaving. :(

    <3 frankie · Jul 28, 07:01 AM · #

  47. eeeeeee you look sexy! i’m wearing something simliar to that on thursday for my group oral presentation! since the facualty have suggested we be creative, my group is doing a kind of sex and the city theme. i’m the timid daydreaming lawyer :p of course i’m not going to be looking too sultry.. :p

    ooo i had thai tonight too, we went to a thai restaurant in camberwell for my friends’ birthday.

    <3 Leanne · Jul 28, 07:29 AM · #

  48. You look stunning. I love the black slip! And your hair looks fabulous at that length as well.

    <3 Ayesha · Jul 28, 08:01 AM · #

  49. I absolutely adore the slip and cardigan! Beautiful x

    <3 Nicola · Jul 28, 08:54 AM · #

  50. Oooh that is one of my favorite ones! The combination along with your long hair make you look so mysterious and gorgeous.I really love that black slip. I wonder if UO still have it…

    <3 Ashley · Jul 28, 09:03 AM · #

  51. Wednesday’s Child — Bermuda Shorts by Essie! I love it :>

    mini — Hee! That would be fun… but time-consuming ;D

    Lauren — It’s super-soft, I really like it. It’s very tactile & touchable!

    thomasbeagle — Oh, you…

    lane — I just grabbed a knife & stuck it through at random intervals, then pulled around the holes to make little ladders. I actually wasn’t concentrating much, I was more interested in taking photos at the time, haha! I used to have a pair of stockings that were almost completely decimated, they looked amazing. I think the best thing is to have a plan! Work out where you want the rips (I usually like them to start around the knees) & go from there.

    altamiranyc — Lots of love to you, gorgeous!

    rachel — Not new! Probably just re-coloured… & the lighting was pretty dark in here yesterday (we had a storm!). I will have new hair in the next week though, YAY!

    BeKaH — Addams Family LOVE! I always wanted to be part of their family… sigh… !

    miss meg — I hope it was delicious! Mine was pretty awesome :>

    Vixxie — Yeah, I am feeling a little edgier these days… Maybe it’s the company I’m keeping! ;D We’ll see if it lasts!

    Ashley — Probably not… Mine was on a sale rack when I bought it, which was at the start of June I think. Boo! But a plain black slip is an easy thing to buy! You’ll find one somewhere else, for sure!

    <3 Gala · Jul 28, 09:20 AM · #

  52. i really love those cartigans for the fall..there really cute and go great with dresses. i just bought this cute one from this site called shopgoldyn..they have really awesome clothing!

    <3 lovefashion · Jul 28, 10:23 AM · #

  53. you are truly beautiful!

    <3 diddy · Jul 28, 10:40 AM · #

  54. I LOVE this outfit, very classy. And I must have those boots.

    <3 Shannon · Jul 28, 10:42 AM · #

  55. lucky! i haven’t had good thai food in ages, and your hair looks absolutely gorgeous with the black. i love it. has anyone ever told you that you look like kate blanchett?

    best of luck with the move! I’m getting ready to move on campus in a few weeks, and my room is steadily gathering stuff.

    <3 Lilavati · Jul 28, 12:37 PM · #

  56. You look fabulous! I’ve never commented on your blog before, but I’ve been reading it for ages! I am moving to New York as well, and I was just looking on craigslist for a place and came across a picture of a wooden table and circular mirrorthat looked oddly familiar … it’s your WV place!! I just sent an e-mail inquiring about it. I know how much you liked it – it would be so funny if I ended up there too!

    <3 Allison · Jul 28, 12:55 PM · #

  57. Allison — Oh my god, that’s SO funny! The people who you’d be dealing with are super-awesome, I think they’re great. It’s the beeeeest apartment everrrrrrr, seriously I love it, I want to come back & stay here in September!

    <3 Gala · Jul 28, 01:07 PM · #

  58. You look so gorgeous and sexy and so SIMPLE! It’s amazing what you can do with a few black pieces, it blows my mind. Did you wear the cardigan outside? I think it’s pretty muggy in NYC right now…

    <3 Kristen · Jul 28, 01:15 PM · #

  59. I cant stop staring!

    <3 B · Jul 28, 02:02 PM · #

  60. You look gorgeous! Amping up the New York attitude as a last hurrah? ;D

    <3 Trisha · Jul 28, 02:03 PM · #

  61. I think I’ve said this about a hundred different pair of boots… but I’m in love with those boots, all the way. I’m currently scouring the internet and all the stores in my city for a good pair of black boots to wear with my school uniform. All my friends decided that we’re going to stray as far away from goody-two-shoes Catholic girl stereotype as possible for our senior year. I actually have my eye on some Doc Martens.

    This is probably in my top ten favorite outfits of yours!

    <3 Sasha · Jul 28, 02:23 PM · #

  62. Lovely, lovely. And bon voyage!

    <3 Sal · Jul 28, 02:33 PM · #

  63. you look stunning!love the boots…

    <3 sariti · Jul 28, 02:37 PM · #

  64. You look great Gala! I esp. love the nail polish – what color is it?

    <3 Helen · Jul 28, 03:09 PM · #

  65. My first visit to your site. Awesome outfit!

    <3 BrandonW · Jul 28, 03:11 PM · #

  66. Excellent neo-goth. You look so beautiful in that; it’s perfect with your current hair. I never would have thought to pair a slip dress with a long cardigan but it totally works.

    <3 Godlesscupcake · Jul 28, 04:01 PM · #

  67. all black at the end of your stay in New York is so appropriate!

    <3 vanessa · Jul 28, 05:11 PM · #

  68. Oh my goodness! I am completely in love with the last picture. You look just gorgeous, as always! & like I’ve said before you have WONDERFUL bone structure. I’m jealous

    <3 Elizabeth · Jul 28, 05:39 PM · #

  69. Hot as baby!! I wish I could dress like that and not look like the try-hard goth I usually do!! Love and pixie kisses xxx

    <3 shells · Jul 28, 08:45 PM · #

  70. Eeeee! You look GORGEOUS darling

    <3 Vanessa Milan · Jul 28, 09:28 PM · #

  71. that outfit is love!

    <3 hayley · Jul 29, 12:17 AM · #

  72. you look stunning.my fave look on you yet!

    <3 soviet girl · Jul 29, 03:34 AM · #

  73. that’s SO hot!

    <3 San · Jul 29, 07:00 AM · #

  74. Ooooh, I like the boots and ripped tights, very nice! Very Tank Girl :)

    <3 doombunny · Jul 29, 08:12 PM · #

  75. I love this outfit, I actually have most of those pieces, I just never put the pieces together. Must get to that. Thanks for the inspiration and good luck with New York! I have you linked for further updates :) x

    <3 Liv/e in Both Senses · Jul 29, 11:10 PM · #

  76. I think this is my favourite outfit of yours…ever!
    Simple, sexy and the perfect amount of grunge which I think is always needed :)

    <3 Tea · Jul 30, 07:24 AM · #

  77. Hi Gala I hope you don’t mind, I’ve used one of these images in a recent “style inspiration” post. Thanks!
