Daily Outfit -- 28th October 2008
[ 28 October 2008 ]
This is what I wore to meet Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen at their book signing at Barnes & Noble! Honestly, they are so adorable in person that it actually hurts. I used to have a mild crush on Mary-Kate Olsen. It has now exploded into a major crush-fest on both of them. Aaaaarrghhhhhh!
Black merino wool singlet
Laurie Foon hooded sweatshirt
Black leather miniskirt
Ripped black stockings
Sparkly Betsey Johnson leggings
Guess Borda platform stilettos
Sparkly skull earrings
Pyramid stud belt
Wedding, Tarina Tarantino & CHAPTER rings
(Sorry about the weird lighting.)
Just hanging out on my coffee table… You know how we do.
Oh yeah! You may have noticed my hair is about a billion times shorter. Where my extensions were joined was getting all matted, it wasn’t pretty, so on Saturday my new hairdresser (who is a Virgo with a tattooed face, a British accent & a major air of CUTE) came to my house, removed them & combed out my unintentional dreadlocks for three hours. It hurt more than getting tattooed, I swear.
So I have short hair for a while — I feel weird, like half my body is missing — but on Thursday, we’re putting them back in again, plus more. I did have 77, we’re increasing the number to 300. 300! I am going to have a mane of epic proportions! I can’t wait to see how it looks!
Also, it was really cold today. What did you wear?
Love letters & feather headdresses,

Oh – but I love your hair so much better like this!
your soo cute!
you are so sexy!!! rowr!
it was cold where i am too! i wore saddle shoes and a beret and rode my bike with its basket. i felt like a 1950s school girl!
dear gala, you’re looking so awesome!i agree that your hair is so much nicer like this. you look so kickass with shorter hair. get more volume, not more length?!
I rather adore your hair short and that way it flares out here. You have such strong facial features that you pull off shorter hair wonderfully!
gala you make my heart smile! thanks for being super cute all the time, and making me want to wear heels 24/7!
I wore a horrible Cosbey-sweater, it was so bad..but so warm. That and it’s badness is half the reason to put it on.
Your CUTE! :)
It was a cold and rainy day here, but I stayed home all day so I just lazed around in my pale lemon turtleneck, black pants, and blue and green mismatched socks… and a basic barrette in my hair to keep it out of my eyes. Nothing stylish about it, but it is comfortable. :)
The purposefully ripped tights look great! I wrapped up in a thick cream jumper because I have a cold & also it snowed where I am!! Short hair looks good on you, but I am looking forward to seeing your 300 strong head of hair.
I LOVE your hair all crazy rocker chick like that!!
you are so cute! while I LOVE what you’re wearing, I have no idea how you pull it off in the cold – seriously, I’m pretty much huddled up in blankets when it’s below 25 degrees, lol.
Also, I can’t wait to see your 300-hair!
I absolutely loveee your hair all short & teased-ish like that!! Also-gorgeous outfit, as usual!
I wore[or am wearing] a tshirt with spiderman comics plastered all over it, and dark wash skinny jeans that I adore with a studded belt. And then my old brown patched Converse with neon orange & purple shoelaces :) Nothing too amazing, hah.
I kind of like your hair. It’s like a pink Robert Smith!
You are looking FABULOUS here! Love it!
yes, the short hair is wonderful, full of life and volume, edgier, yes, i just think it suits you.
(and do note, i’m an adoring lurker on your site and haven’t been compelled to say anything until now… you always look spectacular but this short crazy hair is really truly does it for me for some reason)
Your hair looks beyond amazing here.
I mean, it always looks great and I love the extensions, but this is just wow.
I think you should leave it like that.
Gala, you inspire my feet to dance. Honestly, seeing your hair/stockings/heels makes me want to squeal with delight. Thank you for this visual treat :]
I, as well as cmackenzie, am I lurker. I confess, I have iCiNG in my toolbars thingy, and I check it every time I use the internet. Creeper, I know, but I promise now I’m going to start interacting! Teehee “]
You look like a heaping pile of lovelyness!
OUCH – Gala, I feel your pain! A few years ago, I decided to get dreadlock extensions – I absolutely loved them and had them in for just over a year, but by the time I had to remove them, half my natural hair had decided to dreadlock itself, and I had to spend several hours (using approximately 2,878787 bottles of de-tangling spray!) combing them out – it was not fun! You look super cute, though – I love your outfit, and can definitely appreciate your crush on the Olsens – I spent my day watching New York Minute yesterday and they are soooo adorable! :D
Haaahah I used to comment but then I stopped. But I am going to again~!
Your hair is lookin’ good but I bet it’ll be even cooler with 300! Wow that’s a lot.
Hmm.. I am wearing wide leg pinstripe pants, black combat boots, black bangles, black turtleneck, black tailored hoodie, fingerless gloves, and black and white feathered earrings.
Strange day— I usually never wear pants.
wow!! ur hair looks amazing!! realy wild!!
thats awesome, i hope 2 see pictures of the girls!
more 2 the point, what were they wearing?
oh you look amazing!
the short hair is soooo you, though! you look fucking hot. i’m questioning my “straightness”. haha. but long hair is gorgeous on you as well.
your hair is adorable that way! you should keep it like that for a while or something.
i agree, the weather was beyond awful in the city today :( i wore black converse hitops, black pants, a tan uniqlo flower tshirt, gray h&m military jacket, and my purple knit hat and i STILL was freezing and got soaked.
LOVE the riped stockings (I did just rip mine by accident aso I might try the look).
I like your hair short n_n it reminds me of when I started reading iCiNG sooo cute.
Take it from someone with a shitload of hair, it’s not always pretty but oh totally worth it.
Kisses.
Those shoes are dreamy! But my favorite part? The hair! It looks amazing! Like, no words for it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it cuter than in that last picture! * covet *
I was so excited that it was chilly in Florida today! I finally (after weeks of 80 degree weather!) got to bust out my scarves and wear a very cute white and silver one today.
Plus, after school, I voted! and was glad to have my scarf because I had to wait outside for about 20 minutes.
hurray for a cold-weather wardrobe :)
Gala, your hair looks like strawberry cotten candy! I’m wearing black too today; with grey leg warmers. I think black is a lovely colour to wear in Winter.
x
Gala, you look AWESOME!! Also I really like your hair like that :D it’s wild.
Wow crazy hair! Very cute, but an unusually untamed style for you.
Oh and holy frack 300 extensions! Madness.
I love your hair! (We’re all being so “inversely-supportive” by telling you how much we like it just before you change it!)
I am desperately finishing sewing ballet costumes, so I am in jeans and a T-shirt (Glassons BCRT, fluoro pink heart on front). And a tragically ancient hoodie. Will go and put my ballet gears on soon . . .
you are soooo hot, look at those cheekbones!
Your hair is absolutely fabulous now. And outfit is fantastic.
I’m so not used to this cold weather so I wore teal pants, a pink puff sleeved shirt with pockets, a gray leopard print cardigan and a of montreal hoody, brown ankle boots. and a dainty little necklace with a bronze filgree, silver coin and tiny pink rose that matched the colors of my outfit. i really need better shoes for new york winter though—wet socks are now fun.
I’m terribly jealous that you met mary kate and ashley. They are the cutest! I feel bad for them, everyone hates on them for no reason. That’s what happens when you’re at the top, I guess.
Can’t wait to see the new long hair :). Today I wore a jacket for the first time this year. It went from really warm to really cold in a week.
Daily outfit:
tulipsociety.com/images/102808…
your hair looks amazing! & i love that outfit so much. OMG MARY-KATE&ASHLEY I AM SO JEALOUS. WORDS CANNOT ADEQUATELY DESCRIBE MY JEALOUSY. were you able to take photos? cos i heard not.
@ ipsum- Aren’t horrible sweaters the best? I am kind of manic about sweaters, even besides being a knitter I just find them to be the best thing ever! One of my favorite sweaters is this extremely ugly olive-green Mr Rogers button up cardigan number I got at a yard sale, it’s great, so hilarious!
Gala, FABulous as usual. I think the reason I am so jealous of your hair is that it has so much volume and body! I don’t particularly like having long hair, but I keep it because I can’t do anything when it is sort- it just slips around and makes me have a mullet which I do not like. You GO, girl!
That is the hottest outfit ever Gala. I like your hair teased that way.
I love your hair like this! It’s adorable. And, you got to see the Olsens in person! jealous times infinity
I watched Double, Double, Toil and Trouble last night after ordering it off ebay last week. It’s still as awesome as I remembered from all those Halloweens ago!
I can’t wait to see your new look although I like your hair short. Your hair is so vibrant in those pictures.
I wish it was cold. I am in Cali and it was 85 here today.
You look so cute! I’m loving the “ripped tights/leggings beneath” look. You look so punk and cute.
It was freezing today! I wore a tank top with a giant hand giving the peace sign, one of my boyfriend’s flannels, my new pair of Gap jeans and brown boots, plys my cropped black motorcycle jacket.
I can’t believe you met the Olsens. I love their style. And speaking of style…I really like your hair short! It looks really fierce. And about taking the extensions out…no pain, no gain!
From Carla
www.carladarling.blogspot.com
Indeed, your hair does look fantastic that length!
However, you seem to make any style you choose look amazing, so I look forward to seeing your lengthy tresses!
I was wondering what product/s you used back in your even-shorter-hair days? I have recently got all my hair cut off and finding it hard to stop it going flat (sadly, bleach was always my no. 1 friend when it came to making my short hair do anything, but not very happy with the cut and bleaching it would just make it look worse…)
I luv your hair and your clothes and you and waaaah, you look awesome! Fierce and awesome. Btw, I would EXPLODE if I could meet the Olsen twins :DD
I live in the southern hemisphere, we’re in the middle of spring :P…it was colder today though. I wore a black dress, bright blue tights, black boots, a thin Zara grey sweater on top of the dress and a cute golden birdie necklace from UO :)
GALA!!! You’re amazing!
I love your hair no matter what you do with it!
I wish I had that kind of confidence!
:D
You look absolutely great here. Truly. I don’t think it’s so much about what you wear(which is always classy, and well pulled together, bust still edgy)it’s the self-confidence and assured look that always makes an outfit.
Where they super friendly? Did they comment on any aspects of your appearance?! Did you have to wait in a killer line to meet them :P
you are one fierce skinny minny, lady! :D
Today I perfected the art of layering & got a lot of stares.
Your hair looks amazing. But I’m sure you’ll look as great with long voluminous hair.
& I’m so jealous you got to see the twins. MK is my favorite ever. Are you going to post the review of the book any time soon?
oh my god. i love your hair like this and the whole outfit. i’m seriously going to print it out and tape it to my wall as inspiration in the morning when i feel like all i want to wear to school is my HALLOWEEN JAMMIES.
gcrush — Rawwwwr, thank you honey!
amanda — No! I can’t! I had short hair for so so so so long, I can’t bear it. Long hair foreverrrrr!
codi — Aw, much love little one!
Dollface — It’s always evolving, I think. But yes. Definitely. It is always influenced by the people I’m spending time with, activities I’m doing, things I’m thinking about…
Simone — Haha. I threw on a long black cardigan & a scarf & went out. It was freezing (number-wise) today but I didn’t seem to feel it. I think I was fueled by happy & it kept me toasty, haha!
cmackenzie — It’s definitely edgier, but I really like having long hair. It makes me feel feminine, which is a new thing for me! Also, hi! Thanks for coming out of the woodwork, it makes me smile!
Ophelia — Awww, yay, thanks for commenting! So nice to “see” (err, you know what I mean!) new faces around here! Mwah!
x Miss Corrine x — Oh my god, ouch. That sounds bad. I really only had three big dreadlock-y patches, but it was so agonising. I was glad my hairdresser was behind me most of the time so she couldn’t see the horrific faces I was pulling!
martini — YAY! Kisses!
Brooke — I only saw them from the waist up, haha. But here are some photos from the day: olsensanonymous.blogspot.com/2…
windstruck — Aahaha, maybe that should be my new tagline. “Gala Darling, causing straight girls to question their sexuality since 1983!”
Ms Constantine — I know! 300 is a lot. It’s going to be a long day!
Nadine — Oh you & your inverse support! Haha. I love you anyway…
robin — You are hotter, love you, mwah mwah!
amanda — No photos with them, but you could take photos from the line. Mine were pretty shabby, haha. It was a super-quick operation, they handed you a book, MK signed it, then Ash signed it, & that was it. Production line style! I handed MK a note & her bodyguard took it & she looked at me & was like, “I’m so sorry!” Anyway, whatever, I hope she read it!
Hannah — There is absolutely no product in my hair today, I just teased the bejesus out of it… I don’t usually use anything actually, my hair kind of tends to do what I want it to. Maybe by force of will, haha!
fran — I wasn’t that amped beforehand but afterwards I was trembling from the cuteness, hahah, what a nerd!
Mandyfloss — Thank you, gorgeous. & they were SUPER CUTE, oh my god, soooo much cuter in person, & we didn’t really get to talk because it was a very fast operation. I waited in line for about an hour. I listened to my ipod & read half of Henry & June ;D
buy.my.love.with.chocolate — Of COURSE!
willa — Aw, I’m so flattered! Love you!
I totally dig on big hair! My man is always telling me he loves my hair, and that it reminds him of a lion’s mane. Mine’s black and wavy, and I can’t wait to see your gorgeous cerise one!
You’re looking fab as always, Darling. I’ve always loved your natural slenderness, but you’re looking a touch thin, love—I spy chest bones.
These photos totally justified me buying the pair of 4” black heels that I’ve been lusting after. You look awesome. :) I really like your hair all mussy like that!
(If you’re curious as to the shoes I splurged on: tinyurl.com/6est6qm )
aress redress — I have always had visible chest bones, I can show you photos from when I was 16 as proof ;>
Raphaelle — Yay, good for you! But the tinyurl didn’t work! Again, again!
i love you hair like that. i miss rocking the pink hair. i’m also a big fan of the tights.
today i wore purple tights a black skirt with pockets, a black tank top, black sweater, purple scarf, purple zip up hoodie, purple hand knitting fingerless gloves, (new) black boot and my wool coat. and i was still cold!
Yay for big hair! Mine’s permanent, though. :3
Today I wore:
-Futuristic purple & black fleece jacket
-Black singlet
-Black pants tucked into…
-Thrifted black leather combat boots
-Legwarmers over boots
-Art deco-like necklace with all these bullet-like charms hanging off it
-Retro digital watch
Sorry Gala but I have to join the chorus of: “But your hair looks AMAZING that length”!!! No one would have a single clue that it’s the result of hidden growing via extensions :) looks fantastic :) You look so hot and glamourous… :)
...I always knew you were thin, but you look so skeeeeny in these pictures! I know you take good care of your body, though, and the thinness looks awesome with that big hair! I’ve got that lenght-ish hair now, and I keep trying to get that tussled rocker look, but I just can’t perfect it! Any tips?
Can’t wait to see the new uber—extensions!
Jenny — Oh, you! I like it too, but I’ve just had short hair for way too many years!
Alice — I look kind of like a lollipop, right? I think it’s because half my hair is missing, it changes the proportions of my body a lot. & never fear, I am still regularly polishing off a pint of ice-cream in one sitting, hahah! As for tips about getting your hair to look like mine, just backcomb the SHIT out of it, unrelentingly! I re-did mine about 5 or 6 times. I didn’t use hairspray so it needed constant maintenance!
I think its hilarious how I have tracked your blog since it first started, and when you had short hair I had long hair to my lower back. And now that you have the long hair, I am in love with my sophisticated bob!
Congrats on the traffic record! You need to come to the west coast so I can fawn over you lol.
Wow! Your short hair’s so crazy! It actually reminds me of a lion’s mane when it’s like that. ^ ^ I like it a lot.
I wore black corduroy pants with a teal long-sleeve shirt underneath a polka-dotted t-shirt that I love. I also wore my wool winter peacoat, which always makes me feel good, and cute cloth flats with a bear face and paw on them!
^ ^I kept forgetting my scarf…i’m going to join the ranks and squee a little about how much i love your short pink crazy hair! like a frustrated mermaid teen who decided to go punk on her hair!
i read a list of mk&a’s requirements for their book signing on an LJ community, they were WAY harsh!
I work at a BN – I should take a glance at that book and see if I can understand your girl crush!
For work I wore a pink summer dress with black tights and a black cardigan, plus I got to wear my houndstooth coat with a gray pashmina-style scarf. I heart winter.
Your new hair looks cool! :D
You could so go without the extensions and look great!
I actually love the shorter look on you when it comes to your hair.
sweet drapery! lovin’ those curtains!
This morning, it was chilly outside for California so i wore black tights, black ballet flats, a pleated black satin skirt with a large satin bow, and a long dark purple tunic. Originally, I had a sort of Parisian look in mind so I added a Eiffel Tower charm necklace but I turned it into a more Halloweeny look with a orange charm bracelet, a purple bracelet, an orange and purple bow for my hair, and a Swarvoski crystal blue charm ring my friend made for me.
P.S. I eagerly await to see your supper duper long hairdo!
you look soooo damn gorgeous! i love your new shoes! your hair looks pretty even tho i was used to see you in long hair
You are so pretty! Im my town the weather still warm and i cant wait to wear more winter-ish stuff
I know you don’t wanna hear it, but I love your hair this way too!!! I think not just that it’s short, but the color looks more like cotton candy; not so saturated.
I want a mane of epic proportions.
Love this look! I love the contrast of your bright hair with the black. Hot, and just slightly trendy. =)
Honestly, baby… I kind of like your hair like this. I didn’t read all your comments, so I’m sure it’s been loquaciously admired, but I had to throw my two cents in.
I love your Gothy barbie looks lately. And j’adore the pink sparkly leggings… I have to find some of those stat.
xxooxxoo for days!
ME
I am looking forward to seeing your new extensions!
I keep meaning to investigate them but people tell me horror stories of them being terribly high maintenance so I get put off.
I say ‘but.. but… gala darling has them!’ I should persevere because they look friggin mint on you.
Looong straight hair with hood a la Lady Gaga equals win.
p.s. hellllooo from dorkland! I am not hating it.
Another nomination for short hair! I think it looks great and so much fun :) but if you’ve already made your mind up, enjoy your 300 new extensions!
absolutely dahhhhling ms darling!
Eek! you look super-adorable! such a perfect Olsen meeting outfit!
and your hair! it’s like… Andy Warhol had a collision witha cotton candy cart!
...standing on a coffee table? why ever not?
Your hair does look pretty awesome like that!
Oh, your hair looks fab short!
omg, personally, you look so much better with short hair like this. =D
As much as I love long tresses… you look very spunky with short hair!
Gala, I STRIVE to have hair with that much volume! And your outfit reminds me of Siouxsie Sioux! LOVE!
Hey Gala! Just reading about your plight with your hair extensions, really felt your pain so thought I’d mention this brush that’s on the market called a Tangle teaser, it promises to not hurt when brushing knotted hair due to the design of it so it instantly came to mind to tell you all about it! Hope it’s alright to mention it on here? It’s really good, can vouch for how effective it is at taming unruly tangles so maybe it’s worth checking out if you haven’t already xxx
You look like a dominatrix on her day off!!
I actually think your long hair really really suits you but 300 extensions are going to be HEAVY!! I had about 120 micro links in earlier this year and I felt like they were pulling my scalp off of my head when I got them wet!
Wow MAJOR hair envy – it looks brilliant there! Seriously amazing. I love it that length, especially with the messy fun. I prefer it that length too ^^ ESPECIALLY with the mega volume.
You pretty girl.
LOVE the hair!!! I was just about to ask how on earth you did it to look so awesome then I read the writing about the hairdresser and was like “damn, no chance in me getting tips on how to do it with my own hair”...
You met the Olsen Twins!?
Ahhhhhhhh!!! I am sooooo jealous!!! I love them!!! Okay, I’m hyper!!! * breathe * =P xoxo
Wow I love the hair!! It looks cute short but I can’t wait for the new extensions – your hair has grown heaps since you started with extensions!!
I ended up wearing two outfits today… my silver-grey trousers with a BRIGHT fuschia pink shirt and black heels, and for a work do I just got home from I wore a black dress and tights with a red scarf and shoes. Now to bed…
You are major cute with this short, puffy hair!
Love the shorter hair…but will be interested to see the much longer hair too. You keeping it pink? And after reading your high heels article, I managed to walk around the living room without killing myself or landing flat on my arse. Graceful I’m gonna have to work on. But upright in itself is something of a victory. Though with the heels on it’s weird looking at things from 6ft, rather than 5ft 9in, but hey.
Aw love the short hair, but as someone who could NEVER part with her mermaid locks, I understand the desire for long hair. Can’t wait to see it. Love the shoes too. I’m so gonna have to practice wearing my uber heels for more than 4 hours at a time.
It was super cold yesterday! I wore a black wool dress, bright red coat and snuggly ugg boots with ribbed black wool tights. Also wore a sparkly beret but it was too cold so I ended up buying a woollen bobble hat with ear flaps off a stall in town for £3!
Caitlin Marie — Haha, I’d love that! ;> I’m going to be in California at the start of ’09 so maybe I’ll see you then!
char — Yeah, it was an intense list. It’s still sitting on my coffee table. I was really sad about no-pictures-with-the-authors. I mean obviously, the line was huge (I estimate at least 200, maybe more like 400 people) & it would have taken ALL DAY as opposed to an hour or two, but man. I was so disappointed!
Nic — Definitely! It’s a pretty cool-looking book, too.
martha — Hahaha!
susana — Aw, thank you!
Rachel Radness! — Haha. You guys are terrrrrrible… But I can have short hair any time! All I have to do is take my extensions out. I love having long hair sooooo muchhhhh!
Miss Elle — Gothy Barbie! I love it! The pink sparkly leggings are cool but not very good quality, they are already ripped to hell & I haven’t even been rough with them. Pout! You can get similar ones at Urban Outfitters, they’re cheap but also bad quality ;>
Anna Rose — They’re not high maintenance at all! Especially if you get good ones. Do it, do it, do it! & I’m glad you’re not hating Auckland. I’m going to be there in January, most likely! Maybe I’ll see you there!
beth — Best description ever :D
JodieCJ — Hmm, interesting! Thanks for the recommendation, I will keep it in mind!
Joanne — Hahah. If only I had a Swarovski crystal-encrusted whip…
Candi — No, I just teased the hell out of it, anyone could do it!
Annie Goddard — Yes ma’am. It’s a pink life for me! The next thing I’d like to try is My Little Pony hair, like maybe pink/purple/blue/white all at once… But it might look totally ridiculous, I don’t know! & hey congratulations on your high heel triumph! You’re amazing :D
sigh I love Henry & June. Henry is such a bastard, and June really is too, but they’re just so….dynamic. And the drama! I always feel a bit sorry for Anais, but jealous too…I myself am currently looking for one or more “suitable” additions to my harem/entourage. It’s so exciting…I love love affairs!!!
Anyway, I wanted to get opinions on something…I am really really wanting to go the pink hair route, but I am a short and quite curvy girl, not lean and elegant at all, and I don’t want to look cheap and trashy (the horror!!). I don’t quite know how to explain what I mean, but I want it to look chic, not like an angsty overweight teenager who added some Manic Panic (not that there is anything remotely wrong with that, but that’s not who I am myself…I’m a (gasp) 25 year old married woman!). Also, my hair is long-ish, right below shoulder length, with lots of body and waves. If I was to do pink, should I get a shorter style? Maybe that would help keep it chic. So, what do all of you lovelies think?
I love love love reading all of your comments!! I consider you all to be my virtual iCiNG friends!
Gala, you look fantastic, as always!
Oh wow I haven’t posted on here for ages!!
This week I have been wearing some beautiful new black patent wedges that I bought and my gorgeous new winter coat. It’s a military style with a lovely big collar so it’s not too boring looking, I fell in love with it when I saw it so just had to buy it!! :)
Sunshine & Sparkles
xxxx
you look amazing! and you are so lucky to have gotten to meet mk&a! plus your hair is fantastic, just sayin ;)
Oh how gorgeous do you look! I agree with everyone else about the hair, absolutely fabulous!!
xx
I really like your hair that way. I love how it’s sticking up every which way. Super trillion adorables.
your hair makes you loook like a sexy lioness! fierce :]
ommgg i’m so jealous! i met them at a book signing when i was like, ten :p amazing!
Gala so cute but so much black lately! Are your feeling angsty artisty?? hehe.
Rrr!!
Gala! Loveee the outfit. I wish I lived in a city where ripped hose was not equated with whores…
Do you have anything on your archives about self portraits or “outfit post” self photography?
Jasmine — I think the only way you’d look like a rebellious teenager is if you had a bad haircut, clothing & make-up… Really the haircut is important, & make sure you use a good colour (Special Effects) that won’t fade quickly. Faded hair is not a good look (unless it’s intentional)! I have to say though, if you have a ruddy or pink complexion, pink hair can be a bad choice! Hope this helps!
laineyloop — We missed ya! Welcome back!
Freya — Most of my colourful stuff is more appropriate for summer; aka, it’s not very warm! It’s been tricky to adapt to dressing for cold weather again, black makes my life easier!
ISTilettos — Yup, a couple of articles. Try galadarling.com/advice/flatter… & galadarling.com/article/papara…
Thank you so much Gala! I’m so glad you knew what I meant.
Your hair looks hot like this- 300 extensions though? That will be killer!!
As much as I totally loooove your short hair, I’m going to go against the grain and say that I can’t wait to see your long hair back! When you have long locks, it makes you look like a manga faerie princess. Right now you look like a little punk rock pixie – which there is nothing wrong with!
Today I wore my jammies all day. It wasn’t cold, as I live in Brisbane, but I’ve been sick in bed with tonsillitis all week.
I am so totally, crazy jealous that you saw Mary Kate and Ashley in person. I have the biggest girl crush on both of them!
Your looking so lil Gala!. In a fabulicious way of course… How do you do it :)
You should have seen the look on my face when I saw this post, Gala; you look absolutely gorgeous. GORGEOUS. And I agree with all the other readers – your hair is SICK. Lovvve it!
ahhh….you look soooo good with shorter hair! i love it!
I can’t wait either. I thought this was meant to be you dressed up for Halloween. Scary!
hi gala! you are so beautiful and inspire me so much.. with who you are and how lovely and stylish you are! i adore your pink hair.. short is very cute on you, but i think i love your long hair more! (i think i’m biased though because i love love love long hair myself!) i just want you to know that what you do with your website is very inspiring.. you are such a sweet, free-spirited girl! thank you for having your beautiful blog..
Firstly, I love the way you look here and I can’t get over the ripped stockings… Aaaand I have a, probably kind of silly, question-but how exactly do you rip the stockings to make them look like that? Or did you buy them?
shells — I hope you get better soon! I hear you on girl crush. I think MK is one of the most stylish people of our generation.
Sarah-Mayy — Aw, mwah mwah!
caroline — Thank you very much, gorgeous. I do my best! I’m glad you enjoy it!
Patricia — I ripped them myself ;> Put them on, grab a pair of scissors, poke some holes, pull! Simple!
I had work so I had to dress smart-ish!
Pink stripey short sleeved shirt
Black short sleeved t-shirt (underneath
Black trousers (bootleg – not my favourites but they keep me warm!)
Pink DM’s (very faded now either need to polish them or get new ones.)
Black oversized cardigan (technically a blokes cardigan! I couldn’t find a girls one in the right size)
My woolie hat, purple fleece and fingerless gloves when outside!
And trade mark odd socks (purple stripes and rainbow stripes today!
Woah, the hair. ^^ I actually like your tousled hair better than the regular hairdo – especially now that it’s Halloween! (And because it’s the look I’m trying to archieve.) You look causually halloween-ish, which is admirable.
That, and you have great legs.
i love the twins.
SO JEALOUS. OMG.
Hey Gala,
Your hair is short and messy like mine!! I have to keep mine short now, i can’t imagine myself with long hair!!!

Hey Gala!:)
I was just wondering where do you get Special Effects hair dye?
And do you rip your own tights or did you buy them that way?
If you did it yourself how? I tried and they came out horribly.
P.S. I find you inspirational and I’m dip dying my hair pink for the hell of it:)
I love ripped pants. Tights, legging, skinny jeans, anything. Isn’t it just grand?
Today I wore my own black ripped skinnies over striped black gray tights, a white longsleeve henley over layered magenta tank-and-black-cami, with a tshirt I got for xmas thrown over it at the last second. (It has a picture of unicorns on a bridge with the title; We’re on a bridge, CHARLIE!) Oh, & my slip on checkerboard converse.
Nothing fantastic, but good enough!
