Daily outfit

<3 Grey jersey by Workshop
<3 Vintage leather jacket
<3 Skirt by Ricochet
<3 Black stockings
<3 Black/silver legwarmers from Sportsgirl

Necklace by Stephanie Simek

Do you like my amazing necklace? It’s so delicate & very unlike what I would normally wear, but I absolutely love it. It was designed by Stephanie Simek, & at first glance it just looks like a shell coated in silver. But it has a secret! There are tiny holes drilled in the bottom. That’s because it comes with a little bottle of silver mineral powder, & you use this teeny silver funnel (which is attached to the clasp) to pour it inside the shell. Then, when you wear it, it sprinkles a little bit across your décolletage. FAB-U-LOUS! Stephanie Simek is a genius — she also made the eyelash necklace that you’ve probably seen all over the place (see also: next on my list). Love it! Swoon!

Also — I know it’s been a bit quiet around here lately, & I’m sorry about that! I have big plans which you will know about before the week is over! My love for you is as strong as ever!


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  1. You look lovely as always!
    That necklace is amazing, I would love to own one.

  2. What an incredible necklace! I’m very impressed.

    <3 Haley · Apr 30, 04:12 AM · #

  3. Your necklace is beautiful, and wow you have an amazing view from that window, it must be great for people watching…

  4. Coool! I love the grey jersey – AND I now have one of my own, only with a super-deep V-neck. It’s very “schoolboy” (oo-er). Also love the legwarmers and charm bracelet.

    (Hope you had a fabulously restorative Anzac weekend.)

  5. would love to buy the gorgeous necklace as a gift but she is very sensitive – any word on what the powder’s made from?

    also, where are the boots from? [ searching for perfect boots ]

  6. martha x — Yup, we have prime people-watching real estate :>

    Nadine — I’m totally into collegiate-esque anything! I need more v-neck sweaters to wear with ties…

    steph — It’s mineral powder so it should be absolutely fine. Plus, you can always decant something that you know she can use without a problem! Oh, & the boots are by Zola :>

  7. That necklace sounds amazing! Such a beautiful concept.

    I know I’ve said before that the view from your apartment is incredible, but it really is.

  8. i hope to see that trendy little blue head bouncing around melbourne town sometime soon! those legwarmers are great, i need a new pair.
    it is way too cold right now! that leather jacket looks lovely and toasty though!

    <3 brodie · Apr 30, 06:17 AM · #

  9. what a wonderous necklace. i love it.

    <3 tiny donna · Apr 30, 06:23 AM · #

  10. lol @ the ‘tude in the first photo! so awesome!

    you look gorgeous – the sleek just keeps on a comin’!

    <3 Natalie · Apr 30, 06:46 AM · #

  11. Oh what a heavenly necklace! So amazingly creative with a magical little secret. Where does she come up with such brilliant ideas?

    Your outfits lately seem a lot more edgy – less frilly and mishmashed and cartoonish, a lot more streamlined and rock chic and androgynous. And you are rocking it baby!

    <3 iris =) · Apr 30, 07:08 AM · #

  12. Gala where DID you pick up that jacket from?
    and is that a Thomas Sabo charm bracelet i see?
    if you havn’t already discovered him, i totally recommend checking out his charms. they are the cutest little things iv seen in my life
    :D

    <3 Chelsea · Apr 30, 07:26 AM · #

  13. Your hair is adorable, just so you know, and I think that necklace is the cutest thing ever, and I am incredibly tempted to buy one.
    And, I feel very silly asking this, but where do you buy your stockings? All of the stockings I can find are very see-through, and I want a nice pair of opaque black stockings to wear!

    <3 Kelsey · Apr 30, 08:07 AM · #

  14. oh wow i love ur jacket! an ur hair looks super cool today!! u inspired me to make a blog of my own :) its fashionliason.wordpress.com/ hope u like it! no one has seen it yet lol.

    <3 caitie · Apr 30, 08:08 AM · #

  15. GALA! You have the coolest apartment EVER! I would love to have expansive open space and those windows, OMG, love them! You must have so much inspiration. Take pictures of your apartment and post them…I have been intrigued since discovering your blog!

    <3 Jessica Fletcher · Apr 30, 08:30 AM · #

  16. * drool * I want that skirt!

    <3 Knibbsy · Apr 30, 08:42 AM · #

  17. the shoes and the warming leggings are just WOW! and the view is breathtaking. I would envy you for such an apartment but i know how much hard work means the fashion blog and your other projects, so that I just wish you LUCK :P

    <3 Ala Bala Portocala · Apr 30, 09:14 AM · #

  18. you look gorgeous as usual dahling! and where did you find that fabulous sheen for your inner eyelids?

    <3 tiphanie · Apr 30, 09:24 AM · #

  19. What a great necklace! how unique!

    <3 Carrie · Apr 30, 09:40 AM · #

  20. Your style has really evolved and changed, I was comparing this outfit to galadarling.com/daily

    You do look more sophisticated now.

    <3 eternalvoyageur · Apr 30, 10:00 AM · #

  21. Okay. That necklace is totally adorable and I’m going to have to get it. At least we’re on other sides of the world and won’t bump into each other!

    Luv it!

  22. Chelsea — I bought it on Ebay, it’s vintage & it’s actually (hilariously) a child’s XXL! But it fits me pretty well so I’m happy. It’s a little small in the elbow, which means I can’t wear anything really thick underneath it, but I cope, hee! & the charms aren’t Thomas Sabo, though I looked at his stuff & was kind of disappointed! I had heard a lot about them & I guess I expected them to be more exciting than they were… humbug!

    Kelsey — Hmm, I don’t know! I don’t go shopping for stockings very often so it’s hard to say, but just department stores usually… I just buy opaques!

    Ala Bala Portocala — Thank you, honeypuff! ;>

    tiphanie — It’s an eyeshadow by MAC, it’s either called Pink Frost or Pink Freeze. & every time I wear it, someone asks me, haha!

    eternalvoyageur — Yeah, it has. I dress pretty differently now. It’s hard for me to tell how much of my style evolution is due to “societal pressures”, my own perceptions of how I should look & just natural change. It’s an interesting process though, for sure!

    Poochie — Hee, necklace twins! If we ever meet in person we can clink them together like champagne glasses! xx

    <3 Gala · Apr 30, 12:01 PM · #

  23. Cuteness! I like the skirt and leg warmers the best.

    <3 Trisha · Apr 30, 12:45 PM · #

  24. that necklace is amazing. i had looked at the site in the morning and during the day i kept thinking about so came back for more! i’d definately enjoy a piece like that in my collection but unfortunately that price is a little steep for me.

    maybe i’ll be creative & figure out a way to fasten one like that on my own for cheap.

    <3 S.A.W · Apr 30, 03:19 PM · #

  25. I love this outfit! Maybe it’s cos I can actually see myself wearing it — ie it doesn’t require massive amounts of bravery & confidence like some of your get-ups! It might be that the Melbourne-cool influence has temporarily edged out the Black Rock City-madness. Anyway you look very cool & sophisticated, I can imagine someone wearing this outfit to work and getting loads of compliments from ‘normals’.

    <3 Annabel · Apr 30, 04:15 PM · #

  26. you look fantastic—like a really hip, stylish biker chick. ;)

    <3 Casey · Apr 30, 05:53 PM · #

  27. LOVE the jacket

    <3 Kylie · Apr 30, 06:16 PM · #

  28. You’re probably hearing this all the time now, but… your skin!! It’s so clear and smooth and beautiful! =D

    The necklace is gorgeous; Stephanie Simek really is a genius. If I weren’t so poor, I would buy that and the Speckled Quail Egg Pendant! ♥

    <3 Squill · Apr 30, 08:34 PM · #

  29. I did notice things were a little quiet, but I figured it was just my mega-obsession with iCiNG- I check the site about 3 times a day!

    Whatever you’re doing, take all the time you like! You’re blog is purely amazing & we love everything you do. You’re incredible, Gala!

    <3 Elizabeth · Apr 30, 08:44 PM · #

  30. You’re face looks TOTALLY different than what it did a week or 2 ago. o.O And I’m not just talking about the clear skin. The wonder of Raw. lol

    <3 Saja · Apr 30, 10:05 PM · #

  31. oh my gosh, I’m just imagining the previous owner of that jacket: a badass little kid roaring around on a tiny motorcycle!

    <3 Material Girl · Apr 30, 11:00 PM · #

  32. that necklace is wonderfuL! :) great find!

    <3 pamela · May 1, 12:48 AM · #

  33. I have wanted one of those necklaces ever since I saw it on smagglestyle.com! I have been jealous of Lady Smaggle for being so lucky to have it – now I can be jealous of you too!

    <3 Munkey · May 1, 01:48 AM · #

  34. LOVE THIS! You look gorgeous, and that jacket is so cool! The necklace is so pretty.
