Daily Outfit -- 30th May 2008
[ 30 May 2008 ]
What I wore to Sex & The City: The Movie!
Hot pink snood (avec les papillons)
Silk Kate Sylvester dress
Grey sweater from American Apparel (I am totally thrashing it)
Sandals from Irregular Choice (I bought them today)
Bag by Trent Nathan
Swarovski crystal bracelet, charm bracelet & 2 Tarina Tarantino rings
So, snoods are my new thing. I just bought three on Etsy from Purple Sage Designz (who I cannot recommend highly enough) — this one, a green one & a hot pink/cotton candy tie-dyed version. Major excitement.
I decided the hat needed something extra & the other day, walking in Soho, Gilda & I saw a hat in a shop window covered in butterflies, & I thought, damn, I could do that! So I went to Pearl River Mart (this huge Chinese superstore) & bought a box of 15 butterflies. They had magnets on the back & I wasn’t sure how I was going to attach them to the hat. I grabbed a safety pin to try & thread it, but to my delight, they stuck together — so I just put safety pins on my hat & the butterflies sat there obediently.
...Well, mostly obediently. The eagle-eyed among you will notice that in the top two pictures, one of the butterflies is grey, while here they’re yellow. Turns out a strong breeze will dislodge them. If anyone finds a neon yellow magnetic butterfly in the streets of Manhattan, consider it good luck!
I am happy. My new thing, for sure.
Sex & The City: The Movie was good, too — & the nonpareils I met were even better! Kisses!
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

Things I Love Thursday Why Is Gala In NYC? Daily Outfit -- 24th May 2008 Daily Outfit -- 20th May 2008 iCiNG Time Capsule iCiNG Transformation Challenge -- How'd You Do? Things I Love Thursday A Place To Lay My Hat
you look amazing girl. i love the butterflys!!
the butterflys are beautiful! and i love the whole outfit, i can’t wait till i see the movie!!
I’ve said this before but I LOVE that dress. I’m glad you packed it with you to NYC. :)
Oooh I still love that Kate Sylvester dress. Those butterflies totally remind me of Princess Beatrice, which I think is a good thing, but they look great on you! Also that one of you in the car is really really beautiful.
Very cute Gala! I adore the butterflies!
Gorgeous – the addition of the butterflies make it inspired rather than just pretty – a perfect touch. Actually, I felt a little ‘zing’ of excitement when I saw them!! I haven’t felt that way about anyone’s outfit for a while (Damn winter, making me all grumpy-fied!)
Cute!!!
Oh Gala, did you guys take any pictures of meeting? That’d be a delight to see! Sounds like you guys had fun.
hey gala,
i love the butterlies, they’re beautiful! you’re SOOOOOOO lucky your in New York! i’ve wanted to move there since i was a kid! once i finish school, i’m so there. i don’t care if i have to sleep in central park! but yeah, i’ve always been curious as to how you can afford to sustain your lifestyle. do you have another job other outside the blog?
anyway, have a lovely day (i’m sure you will, your in NEW YORK dude!!!!) xx
Oh no, that sucks that it fell off! It was awesome meeting you, at any rate :)
That looks like something I’d wear ! And I thought that your style was waaaay too different from mine…
Hope you had an amazing time :D You sure did look amazing, those butterflies are a beautiful touch!
I saw the Sex and the City movie today too and I’m in looooove.
The movie was good? Only good?! Ouch I feel like someone just told me there’s no such thing as the tooth fairy!
Coletta — I hope you enjoy it! I was kind of let down actually, but then, I’ve been waiting for it for years & I don’t think there was any possible way it could have lived up to all the hype that was generated!
Annie — Thank you cutie! I think it’s the perfect summer dress. Plus it’s totally easy to care for & folds up tiny!
Nadine — Aw! Big kisses!
Natalie — I’m thrilled to have inspired you! I am stoked by the butterflies too! Now I want to buy lots of safety pins & just attach butterflies everywhere…
sora — I took a few but not many! We saw the movie & then sat in Union Square, drank Starbucks & gabbed :>
rujing — It’s the best city ever, you’ll love it when you’re finally here! iCiNG is my one & only “job” (though you can hardly call it that). I do a bit of freelance writing but more for fun/exposure than cash!
ansi — I know! Gilda pointed it out when we were walking back. Thankfully I have a whole lot of other ones! It was fabulous to meet you too sweetheart, I hope you had a good time!
eternalvoyageur — I’m pleased to be able to surprise you! ;D
Edith — Yeah, tell me about it. The fashion is magnificent though!
I just now got back from the city! Stupid traffic!
Had a blast!!!!!
P.S. Those butterfly’s were amazing!! I’m totally stealing your idea! :D
oh wow, i have the exact same butterflies (only not magnetic!) hanging from my window at the moment…awesome!!
Just like everyone else, I’m so totally IN LOVE with the butterfly thing, oh and I’m also very fond of the sweater since I have one that’s similar and I just can’t take it off, and it is so vintage (!!!) because it was my grandfather’s so it is like 50 years old but I swear it looks totally awesome.
the butterfly hat idea worked out nice eh? pretty cool. i wanna find big fat butterflies and flowers to make a hat to. of course i have no where to wear it to. but as long as i’m still interning at patricia field, i can wear whatever i want. haha.
Ohh, crocheting hats like that is my winter boredom activity. Love the butterflies! I even find of love that one flew away :)
I LOVE snoods :D! My cousins grandma used to knit them all the time before she died. I have a fire engine red one and a white one- I decorate them by tying ribbon, string etc. through the loops. Fun whee!
You have a quirky Japanese look going on there i think…i just love your new snood with butterflies.
Where is that Grey sweater from,i rally want one as it looks so comfy?!
This look is incredibly eclectic =D But what is a snood? Or, actually, why is it called a snood? Damnit, i wanna be in NYC right now.
I saw this AA jumper and I loved it so I brought one in purple!!!
I LOVED the SATC movie … I laughed and I cried. What made it even better was that I went with my childhood best friend whom I haven’t seen in 7 years, and it was just FABULOUS. xx
the movie was ‘good’???nooo:S….you’re probably right though, with all the hype&expectations we have it’s quite unlikely it lives up to them!i’m going to see it tonight with my girlfriends, i am sooo excited….also because we’re going to dress all glamourous and go out for cosmos afterwards:D
PS this outfit is lovely!
I really like this outfit! Lots of colour,you’ve been wearing a lot of black lately, I’ve missed the colour.
oh my gosh, you look so nice! Casual but still very pretty. I love the butterflies, what a great use of them :-) Glad you enjoyed the movie n meet.
you look stunning. I love your hat! and the shoes!
So, how was the meeting with the nonpareils ? Why isn’t anybody spilling the beans ? I’m so friggin curious !
I love this outfit! Right now I’m in the process of putting together a Daily Outfit book… but more like a catalogue, so when I get dressed for college, I’ll be able to have looks aready so I don’t resort to jeans everyday.
I am SO adding this to the inspiration section! It’s so Alexander McQueen with the butterflies on the hat! You really were inspired by the butterfly place in Florida, eh?
:D
I love snoods! I’m glad someone else is helping make them glamorous!! The butterflies are an excellent idea, I may have to copy you on that. :D
The movie was WONDERFUL! I cried 3 times :))
popartpistol — Me too. It’s very organic ;D Also, since they’re magnetic, they kind of swivel around on my hat with the breeze — very cool.
emma gahan — AA.
pinkr0ck — A big baggy hat…
adriana — Woo! So comfortable, right?!
azzurra — I hope you have a good time! It’s worth seeing, as a fan, but if I wasn’t a fan, I would have been upset if I’d spent my money on it…
Sophie — Yup, unfortunately I packed mostly black just because it’s easier. & of course, all these outfits are coming out of my suitcase, I have about 1/1000th my usual selection of clothes/accessories/shoes!
eternalvoyageur — There’s not much to tell! There were less than ten of us, some of us met up before & some after the movie, we went to Starbucks & grabbed drinks, then sat at a picnic table in Union Square & talked until the sun went down! That’s about it, baby!
Retro.Bunny — Haha, I had forgotten about that! Actually it was a shop in Soho that set me off, but yeah, it smacked of McQueen!
DaDa — I’m glad you enjoyed it so much!
the pink hat has so much personality, perfect for sex and the city!
I am 100% in love with your hat and dress :P You dress amazingly!
I love the butterflies! You’re always adorable
Love the outfit.
If you all had gone to the theater on 3rd Ave, there was a bar called The Pour House that was selling $1 cosmos to anyone w/ a SATC movie stub. & they were actually good too!
Still wish I cuda been there, glad you had fun ! :)
I love purple sage designz!
About a month ago I bought a tam from her. I wear it all the time!
You’ve got to get to a craft superstore!
Michael’s has some glittery butterflies, sans magnets. Heat up a safety pin with a lighter, and just push it through the plastic middle of the butterfly!
I love the snood & butterflies! I caught SATC this afternoon with my girlfriends, and while I didn’t have butterflies in my hair – I wore my new favorite blouse with butterflies printed on it :-)
I have been wondering when snoods would make a come back. I think it is a bit more of a beret than a snood, but it still looks fab. If you are into snoods, you will have to check out my Etsy store. I have a whole range of hairclips and snoods. I think this one would look particularly fetching on your blue hair.

Ahhh, the butterflies on the hat are spectacular…all the more so since you said that they wiggle in the breeze! That just makes me sigh with glee.
I get to see the SATC movie on Monday, I just found out! I didn’t even think this rinkydink town would even have it at the one crappy theater, but my friend who works there just called and said they do in fact have it and that he can get us in for freeeee! Yaaaaaaaaay!
I’m kind of scared to watch it, though. I could only stand to watch the last two episodes of the series because I had the movie to look forward to. What will I look forward to now? I hate it when stories end.
the movie was quite the event and it was lovely sitting in the park and chatting till the sun went down. it was great to meet you gala, and everyone else too! i’ll say it once more: thanks!! xo
I had such a wonderful time meeting everyone! In retrospect I wish I wasn’t so nervous!!
Is it really a snood? Looks more like a “tam” kinda thing.
omg i just dicovered this website last week and have been reading it from the begining and then i discovered ur in nyc ur not that far from me i live in nj. i luv the way u dress. i went to see the movie and there was such a long line to get the preorder tix and another line to even get in to see the movie but it was so worth it.
so cute! i love how everything matches. and those american apparel sweaters are so amazingly soft (:
vanessa — Haha, thank you! I’m glad you think so!
Danielle — $1 drinks, how dangerous!
Lauren — Oooooh, craft superstore. Sounds good to me. I’ll have to find the closest one!
super kawaii mama — “I’m bringin’ snoody’s baaaack…” Just call me the Justin Timberlake of the style scene. HA!
Batopus — Well, stories like SATC never really end, they just unfold a little bit more, like life. So don’t be afraid. I guess it was interesting to me to see “where they are today”, but I don’t know. I’m just glad I still have the DVDs!
nerdyspice & Renee — It was great to meet you too, cuties!
Fifi — I only ever wear MAC Cosmetics, they’re my favourite. I don’t have any real make-up tricks either; basically I use good brushes & do my best! Haha!
OH Gala I forgot to tell you I ADORE your outfit :)
You look beautiful.
now that’s a lovely hat :)! I’ve wanted one like that ever since I saw elizabethtown!
Oooh, Irregular Choice
Oh, I wish I could have gone! You look fabulous!
Also, altimara nyc said, “[Gala] plans on residing in New York City on a permanent basis and I wish her the best of fortune as she pursues that dream.” Is this true, Gala? A permanent move? If so, that’s really exciting!
Renee – And there I was, immensely nervous to ask you about your very awesome double majors!
Gala, have you seen this?

Near the bottom of the post, five pictures up.
although this has nothing to do with your lovely day or outfit…i just got Gorgeously Green by Sophie Uliano for a graduation present and i wanted to recommend it to you if you havent read it or even heard about it.
:)
Joanne — I know, I looove Irregular Choice! I have admired their shoes for ages, but never owned a pair. The girls who work there are soooo delightful, too.
Kori — Yes ma’am! I wrote about it the other day, in fact! You’re obviously not paying attention… hee!
Varsenik — Yup, I know. Funny huh?!
krina — I don’t think I’ve heard of it. I’ll look it up!
Ansi- I guess we were all a little nervous then! :)
Hopefully we’ll all have a chance to meet again now that we all broke the ice!
LOVE this outfit – it’s my second favourite after the one of you wearing Pucci boots last year – the snood rocks! Really suits you :)
Share your feelings about the SATC movie – liked it, but did not love it. Still – glad I saw it, and the clothes were gorgeous!
So strange – but I made a butterfly headband last Friday! and then saw the McQueen/Treacy crazy swarm headpiece last night on a blog…and your post…great minds, right?
www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?...
mine are done with wire to prevent them taking flight…
I love it, I want to wear it every single day.
Renee – LJ friends? :D
hello people-who-came-to-the-little-satc-gathering!!! sorry we didn’t talk much… i was extremely tired from work that day, and erm… i had no idea who anyone was! haha! i usually talk a lot more. ;) but it was great to meet you guys and realize all of us are like so different and doing such different things! wow.
I love your hat with the butterflies! great idea!
I adore your butterflies! Do you know where you can buy some in Sydney? (or online?) i think Carrie would have been proud of you babe! haha. :)
xo
Emily — I bought them from Pearl River Mart in Soho BUT they have an online store! They might be sold out, last time I checked they were, but you could always email them about it. Anyway, they have lots of butterfly stuff. Have a look! Just search the word “butterfly”: www.pearlriver.com/
I love everything except I don’t really like the shoes. Why do you put your feet inwards like that?
i found some of those butterflies in a craft store near my house run by sweet old ladies and i bought some and are currently stealing your idea and attaching them to my snood.
if anyone sees a crazy girl in Sydney tomorrow with the same look that would be me!
