Daily outfit

It’s super-windy here today, but beautiful. I’ve been tidying up & preparing for the coming week.

I went shopping yesterday. It was a bit of a bust, there wasn’t much to be had, but I bought this top & these shoes, as well as an overpriced but awesome t-shirt. I actually dreamt putting this outfit together, & I dreamt how I would shoot it, too! (From the ground, with a big blue sky above me.) I was blowing bubbles in the dream, which would have added another layer of awesome, but unfortunately I have no bubble wand. Next time!

Shoes!
Shoe detail! (Even bigger)

How has your weekend been?


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  1. ohhhhh i saw those shoes yesterday!! i drooled – like the classy lass i am – all the way past the shop window … how are they, comfort-wise?

    they look incredible!

    <3 Natalie · Nov 30, 04:14 PM · #

  2. Haha I have been lusting over those shoes for ages! They look fabulous! & I second Natalie’s question, are they comfortable?

    <3 tara · Nov 30, 04:26 PM · #

  3. They’re okay! It’s hard to know, I haven’t worn them for very long yet, haha. When I wear them out of the house I will give you a full review!

    <3 Gala · Nov 30, 04:28 PM · #

  4. My weekend has been sunny and summery and surf-soaked! Plus productive. I’m tired now . . .

    You know me and my creepy/endearing jeans obsession – I think you have terrific legs! ;D

    <3 Nadine · Nov 30, 04:29 PM · #

  5. Isn’t the weather incredible here at the moment‽ Those shoes are really amazing – just the right amount of detail. This weekend hasn’t been quite what I expected, but have been able to make more plans for next weekend’s beach holiday.

    <3 Scribbles · Nov 30, 04:36 PM · #

  6. My weekend has been uneventful, but in a good way. It’s nice to have down time together every once in a while, in my opinion. It’s so odd to see daily outfits of yours that aren’t so bundled up! I am very jealous, it is practically snowing where I live.

    Your shoes = droolfest!!

    <3 Ophelia · Nov 30, 04:38 PM · #

  7. Nadine — Mmmm, surf-soaked, that sounds good. I was going to go to the beach today but it is blowing a gale (as my parents would say) so I nixed the idea. Also, thanks. I wish I was taller! In an ideal world, I would be 5’10”! Yum!

    Scribbles — It’s gorgeous. Apparently it’s going to be a long hot summer… Which is a-okay by me!

    <3 Gala · Nov 30, 04:38 PM · #

  8. Darling Gala Darling, Hello dearie! I love those shoes immensely- been hunting for something similar to no avail, alas. Ooh, I am so envious of your warm weather! Shorts! Not that it is exceedingly cold yet around these parts, but still- I am missing summer. My weekend has been very cozy and relaxing, though- so! Autumn is super-lovely indeed.
    xoxoox,
    Angeliska

    <3 Angeliska · Nov 30, 04:40 PM · #

  9. I am SO envious of you! Look at that weather! Gorgeous! I am freezing bundled up in a blanket right now wishing I could be wearing shorts hanging out on top of roofs ;-; hehe

    <3 Cuppi · Nov 30, 04:46 PM · #

  10. Windy in Wellington? Never… ;)

    <3 Tea · Nov 30, 04:51 PM · #

  11. Hi Gala, those shoes are just fantabulous awesome. Love this photo shoot – you’ve got wicked dreams! I’ve never been to NZ but this picture makes me want to soak up cerulean skies, beautiful lawns, and white beaches. Hope you are having a great weekend.

    <3 astrorainfall · Nov 30, 04:53 PM · #

  12. i love the way you took these photos. the color, the architecture, the shadows, the SUNLIGHT! everything just looks great together. and yes, i love the outfit as well, the shoes really make it :D

    <3 yaymaryann · Nov 30, 04:55 PM · #

  13. this is amazing. I need those shoes!

    <3 Caitlin Marie · Nov 30, 04:57 PM · #

  14. Gorgeous photo shoot! Rooftop & clear blue sky, what could be better? oh yeah, the bubbles.

    Hope you’re having a great time in NZ. It’s strange to think you’re on my side of the world at the moment, doing your posts during my days, rather than my nights :)

  15. What a fantastic pair of shoes! .<

    <3 leaflet · Nov 30, 05:01 PM · #

  16. Can’t wait to hear how comfy the shoes are ‘cause they have some other cute stuff on their site too!

    I wish we had weather like that here. It’s all cold and blustery. LAME. Hate winter.

    <3 Michelle · Nov 30, 05:09 PM · #

  17. wow, great outfit!
    love your hair.
    wish it was so beautiful outside here.

    <3 Brenda · Nov 30, 05:18 PM · #

  18. Yay for windy days with loose hair. I’m taking a break from chilly chicago to be in L.A. right now and it’s been gorgeous here. I don’t wanna go back to winter!

    Also, those shoes are wicked cool.

    <3 Freya · Nov 30, 05:31 PM · #

  19. i am so jealous of your nice weather!

    <3 caitlin · Nov 30, 05:31 PM · #

  20. Great shoes! Love the details :D
    I had a weekend of thrift shopping, cleaning, fish-buying and Christmas preparing. In two weeks I’ll be in such nice weather. I guess I’ll need to start packing!!

    <3 Abbeh · Nov 30, 05:35 PM · #

  21. These pics are nice. =)

    Weekend has been better than I anticipated. I’ve been home, playing Guitar Hero, eating junk food, and sleeping. I’m trying to avoid wallowing (broken heart). One of my best friends (yes I’ve more than one!) stopped by tonight which made me happy. I just drank some whiskey? scotch? I don’t know. I’ll be watching the film Sweeney Todd soon. I love it. And then tomorrow it’s homework day. Haha I just wrote a mini essay!

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

    <3 Diddy · Nov 30, 05:37 PM · #

  22. hey gala!
    I also had a blast of a weekend.bought a nice singlet, 2 skirts,hair curler, black eye pencil-went to the beach enjoyed the sun and as a result am 3 shades darker-yusssss!

    songs u must check out that you’ll like as much as moi:

    -ladyhawke-my delerium,paris is burning
    -lykke li
    -“slave to love” by roisin murphy

    btw check out havana bar-just been revamped-great atmosphere-music- and the mohitos there aren’t bad either!i had 3!

    <3 ladyhawke · Nov 30, 05:37 PM · #

  23. Gala! Where’s your Kiwi number 8 fencing wire ingenuity gone? You could have made a bubble wand: find an old wire coathanger, some snips and some pliers and you could have fashioned one… fuse wire would have done, actually.. thick stuff… an old car aerial? Then some dishwashing detergent and you’re done. Betcha a million bucks your mother wouldn’t tolerate a wire coathanger within a bulls roar of the house, nor would origami-your-strong-but-bendy-shape-retaining-high-def-cable go down too well with your dad…

    Love the shoes, love that you have showcased the Wellington wind to it’s best effect in how it adds to a scrunch-effect ‘do… !

    <3 Jenny in Wellington, NZ · Nov 30, 05:39 PM · #

  24. Oooh, I’ve been visiting those shoes for weeks now(!) whilst lamenting lack of funds. But at least they’ve gone to someone who will love them…

    <3 beth · Nov 30, 05:44 PM · #

  25. gala! i like the photoshoot…
    but i have to say not one of my favorite outfits. the intensness of the shoes is a little much for shorts and a tank top….but that’s just me:)

    <3 h.d · Nov 30, 05:45 PM · #

  26. Jenny — Haha! I actually googled DIY bubble wands, & was going to make one with a pipecleaner or something, before deciding it was too much trouble, & just keeping it simple ;D & you’re so right! We have no wire hangers! Anywhere!

    <3 Gala · Nov 30, 05:51 PM · #

  27. Tea — Oh, hush your mouth! ;D

    Diddy — Boo sucks to your broken heart! Sounds like you’re doing okay, though… You will soldier through it, I have faith in you!

    ladyhawke — I don’t even think I know where Havana is! But I’ll look into it, thank you for the suggestions!

    beth — Save up! Get ‘em! Eat noodles for a week! Haha.

    h.d — Blame dreamspace Gala, not real Gala :D

    <3 Gala · Nov 30, 05:58 PM · #

  28. Ooh! Siren shoes ftw. I have these ones: www.shoobiz.com.au/www/401/fil… , and if I could be bothered wearing them more often would probably buy some of the other styles, too.
    Not terribly uncomfortable, but I feel a little unstable with my heels jacked up that high. That said, the same thing that’s making me feel I don’t have enough contact with the ground is also making my feel look less gigantic, so it’s not all bad.

    <3 Witnit · Nov 30, 06:04 PM · #

  29. You look HOT! so fierce. lol

    <3 samantha jo · Nov 30, 06:20 PM · #

  30. gala, you are always such a babe! amazing colours in the photos(sky vs. hair)

    <3 coco · Nov 30, 06:27 PM · #

  31. i’m jealous you can be out in shorts! it’s cold here.

    <3 mermaid · Nov 30, 06:59 PM · #

  32. Wow Gala you hottie :)
    the shoes are from wildpair arent they? I’ve had my eye on them but chickened out.. which is good as I was in a bad ass car crash and will be off work for a wee bit so needs ma monies atm :)
    Any chance of a close up of your wedding ring? I’m nosey/curious :)

    <3 courtney · Nov 30, 07:00 PM · #

  33. I don’t normally comment on these things because I don’t really want to bother anyone (even though that is the point kind of) but heck here we go. I became a member of icing because I saw your interview with Dame Darcy on utube. Actually I went to her book reading in New York it was great. Anyway the shoes fantastic and the make up beautiful. You are quite an inspiration because your personality really shines through these web pages so upbeat. I started writing a blog about insomnia as I always get it in New York for some reason and I find I am quite negative and I really don’t want to be. Maybe it is because I am not sleeping I have no idea. Anyway I am blabbing a bit too much. Anyway thanks for waking me up slightly.
    Take care

    Cheers:0)

    <3 Laura · Nov 30, 07:08 PM · #

  34. courtney — They are indeed from Wild Pair! I’m so sorry about your car crash, eeeeep! I hope you’re doing okay. I just had a look for wedding ring pictures, check out these…

    Laura — Hi! Glad to make your acquaintance :D I think a lot of people in NY get insomnia, the energy there is so frantic all the time, I think people find it hard to shake off sometimes. You should join an insomniac’s club! Or form one! That would be kind of cool…

    <3 Gala · Nov 30, 07:11 PM · #

  35. I love your shorts. I want them! xD

    <3 Laura · Nov 30, 07:14 PM · #

  36. You’re so fantastic.
    Massive shoes make my feet tired. I wish i had the walking skillz to wear them all the time.

    Except I don’t mind being short so much, although, I look short even with 4 inch heels on.
    I was missing your daily outfit photos. I’m glad they’re back.

    <3 Rachel · Nov 30, 07:35 PM · #

  37. weirdest weekend ever. did something i shouldn’t have, kissed someone i shouldn’t have….whats wrong with me?! lol.
    by the way, you look rad gala :)

    <3 Natasha · Nov 30, 08:04 PM · #

  38. That first picture makes me think that your hair would look amazing all voluminous and bouncy with formal clothing…!

    <3 ansi · Nov 30, 08:06 PM · #

  39. I am IMMENSELY jealous of that view/rooftop. That is gorgeous, i wish i had beautiful weather like that too. Haha :)

    <3 Hayls · Nov 30, 08:21 PM · #

  40. gala-sorry havana is a cool bar just up cuba street in welly.kinda hidden away behing the design and architecture school!!

    <3 ladyhawke · Nov 30, 08:27 PM · #

  41. Oh those shoes are love! Am jealous of the lovely kiwi sun & wind, missing home a lot atm

    <3 Kat · Nov 30, 08:43 PM · #

  42. Oh man, that blue sky is making me awful jealous! My weekend has been bitter-upstate NY-cold, made slightly better by a very fun date..

    Those shoes are absolutely saucy, by the way!

    <3 suzanne · Nov 30, 08:52 PM · #

  43. Damn I’m jealous, I’ve been eyeing up those shoes at Wild Pair for the last month.

    <3 Sophie · Nov 30, 09:01 PM · #

  44. i have these shoes! I bought them about a week ago, I actually thought about you when I made the purchase haha

    <3 tessa · Nov 30, 09:18 PM · #

  45. whoa!!
    you’re…GORGEOUS!!
    i seriously love those shoes n the t-shirt too!

    <3 San · Nov 30, 09:40 PM · #

  46. These shoes are SO amazing! I wish I knew how to walk in those super high heels. I always end up looking kinda like a duck. And your hair is looking so great in this photoshoot!

    <3 Julia · Nov 30, 09:43 PM · #

  47. woha! the hair and the sky…love it!

    <3 Caramel M · Nov 30, 09:45 PM · #

  48. Wow Garla love those shoes!!!! This weekend I went shopping and brought a plastic viking hat with horns! LOL I was wearing it all around the shop and decided I had to buy it!!!

    <3 Dymo label poet · Nov 30, 09:48 PM · #

  49. The shoes are amazing, and the photos even more so. Do you use the cameras timer to shoot yourself? Because the pictures truly are AMAZING!

    <3 Katarina · Nov 30, 11:11 PM · #

  50. ooh very nice!!
    i love what your wearing.
    beautiful shoes

    <3 Kimmy · Nov 30, 11:15 PM · #

  51. Rachel — I think most of the time wearing high heels comes down to practice. The more you wear them, the less hideous the pain becomes! Haha. It’s not usually an exercise in comfort, though! I was missing taking outfit photos too, I felt very bored by all my stuff & not very inspired to do them for a while there!

    Natasha — Eep! I hope it all works out for the best!

    Hayls — It’s my parents’ deck, it spans the length of the house & it’s lovely!

    Dymo label poet — Viking hats are totally great! You should bring them into style!

    Katarina — I use a remote control & a tripod. It’s a labour of love, baby! Haha. I like being in control of taking the photos though, because then I can make them look however I want!

    <3 Gala · Nov 30, 11:30 PM · #

  52. Looking awesome Gala! Can you please send some summer weather over to Tasmania as the last week has resembled winter and I would love to see the sun soon! Luckily I have a trip booked to auckland for January so heres hoping the weather-man’s prediction about the great NZ summer is righton!

    <3 Alla · Nov 30, 11:50 PM · #

  53. Oh, I haven’t seen the sun in so long! And it actually just started snowing here. I love snow – but if only it could be SUNNY with snow!

    And the fierceness of your hair makes me totally want to get extensions!

    <3 Edith · Dec 1, 12:39 AM · #

  54. Wow, it’s SO cold here I can’t even imagine what hot weather feels like now! It would be nice to wear shorts today….

    This weekend I have bought the most beeeeeauuutiful dress. It’s like a black ballerina dress. Layers and lacy and froofy and amazing. It will be my date for a few Christmas parties this month.

    <3 Joanne · Dec 1, 12:45 AM · #

  55. Awesome outfit! It’s both boyish and girly at the same time!

    <3 eyðimörk · Dec 1, 01:26 AM · #

  56. Wow, as much as I love my winter layering I’d love to be somewhere that sunny and warm right now instead of sitting indoors in a hoodie because I’ve just had to air my room and let in the freezing cold air!

    I love those shoes btw!

    <3 Vixel · Dec 1, 02:04 AM · #

  57. Oh wow, how gorgeous do you look?! Very! I love the angle of the photos and the way the wind is blowing your hair – stunning.

    Your hair looks super pink as well, have you redyed it?

    <3 Kati · Dec 1, 02:26 AM · #

  58. now that is a seriously cool outfit, but the wrong time of year for it here, except for clubbing probably, and it would look good on the dancefloor…

    <3 Crafty Green poet · Dec 1, 02:50 AM · #

  59. Hi! This entire post looks amazing. Love love love love your shoes!

    <3 Rachel · Dec 1, 03:21 AM · #

  60. These photographs are great. The shorts look great (and I may be the teeniest bit jealous of your legs) ... the shoes are just fab and the rooftop = too cool.

    <3 Katie · Dec 1, 03:59 AM · #

  61. damn i went to comment yesterday and there were only 14 comments, but my computer was being wack-o.

    anyways, I LOVE YOUR SHOES!!!!! that is all.

    <3 Lillian · Dec 1, 05:30 AM · #

  62. Siiighh…I remember days like this…back in Canada… I used to go out with sidewalk chalk & bike around looking for places to brighten up…

    <3 [a} · Dec 1, 05:33 AM · #

  63. Gala, those blue skies are making me very jealous! It got dark here at 3.30 today!! Hope you are enjoying your time in NZ :)

    <3 green ink · Dec 1, 06:05 AM · #

  64. Your shoes are incredible…

    What type of camera are you using for these photos? They’re beautiful!

    <3 Mandi · Dec 1, 06:43 AM · #

  65. yah, those shoes are AMAZING!

    <3 holly · Dec 1, 06:51 AM · #

  66. You look so dreamy in the NZ sunshine!

    <3 Tania · Dec 1, 07:10 AM · #

  67. Gala, I have to say that I blame you entirely for my new found shoe obsession! I had never, ever, ever, wanted to wear heels in my life (flats for ever), but over the past months a big growing need for pretty heels has overcome me! (what to do?) Those shoes, btw, are awesome!

    My weekend has been pretty boring, I’ve been studying for an exam…and that’s it. I saw my friends yesterday, though, and it was cool.

    <3 fran · Dec 1, 07:22 AM · #

  68. Hotness!!! I will forever dig the heels with shorts. So sporty, sexy, and tough.

    Well, since you asked… I had quite a few articles and blogs to submit and post. And the only bad part of me writing right now is that I don’t have a desk. I dropped my laptop recently, so I type on there and then look at a different desktop monitor. My neck is killing me! I need to buy a desk. The computers are sitting on 2 ft. coffee tables. The only reason I don’t complain too much throughout the day is because my boyfriend set up my little station because he knew how upset I was when I dropped it.

    Well, love the pics! ;)

    <3 Elana · Dec 1, 08:17 AM · #

  69. Thanks! I’m off to buy a remote control and a tripod like right now.

    <3 Katarina · Dec 1, 08:51 AM · #

  70. Your hair looks FANTASTIC!! well done Gala

    <3 Sara · Dec 1, 08:53 AM · #

  71. Alla — Oh, January is the BEST month to be in Auckland. It’s so good! You’ll love it! & you might see me ;D

    Joanne — You had me at black ballerina dress! Swoon!

    Kati — Yes ma’am, I re-dyed it last week!

    Mandi — I use a Nikon D80, which makes me extreeeeemely happy!

    fran — Haha! I’m sorry?!!! I know what you mean though, I haven’t always been into shoes, but in 2007 I started to FIXATE & then it was all over… I just seem to accumulate them! Not that I’m complaining, hee.

    <3 Gala · Dec 1, 10:02 AM · #

  72. Gala you look amazing, but i’m missing your articles, it’s been weeks, bar the interviews and a couple of tiny style articles :(

    <3 Katie · Dec 1, 10:06 AM · #

  73. Gala, you look incredibly lovely in that outfit! I wish we’d have this fantastic weather here right now. It’s so cold.

    And oh, these SHOES! They are haunting me!!! The SIREN ones are actually Barbara Bui knock-offs (Summer 2008 collection to be exact) and I’ve been dying to own them for what feels like forever

    A few days ago I browsed through the blogosphere and found a girl who posted the SIREN shoes on her fashion blog. And now I check my Feedreader and you already have them on your feet. Unfortunately, they don’t ship outside Australia, so I searched high and low and found a similar knock-off by Steve Madden: TESSAA – Just in case your American nonpareils are lusting over your newest shoe acquisition, too. ;-)

    Enjoy the sunny weather,
    Irina

    <3 Irina · Dec 1, 10:15 AM · #

  74. Katie — Sorry dollface, these last few weeks have been pretty crazy for me. More articles are always on the way, but sometimes I just don’t feel like writing long pieces! Anyway, that’s what the archive’s for — so you can get your fix when I need to sleep in or organise my life! ;D Do you have any requests?

    Irina — Oh aren’t you clever! I didn’t know they were a Barbara Bui knock-off, but when I saw them I got immediate Balenciaga vibes. Thank you for the links, I’m sure that will make some girl in America very happy!

    <3 Gala · Dec 1, 10:36 AM · #

  75. You look so pretty here Gala, and that sky is un unbelievable blue!!

    <3 Lia · Dec 1, 10:41 AM · #

  76. Gala Darling,

    I have a few questions.

    Can you get Special Effects hair dye in stores, or strictly online?
    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 loooove this outfit.
    The shoes are terrific!
    I love high! high! high! heels:)
    The weather looks beautiful as well.

    <3 Sarah Baby · Dec 1, 11:13 AM · #

  77. I am seriously loving those shoes!

    <3 Brie · Dec 1, 11:56 AM · #

  78. Those are some sexay-ass shoes.

    <3 Rachel Radness! · Dec 1, 12:24 PM · #

  79. I saw a flash of pink hair walking across the kelburn viaduct bridge yesturday, was it you or just my imagination?

    <3 victimette · Dec 1, 12:59 PM · #

  80. Those shoes more than make up for the rest of the trip being a bust!!

    <3 sapphire jean · Dec 1, 02:44 PM · #

  81. Haha, I love your poses.
    Your hair is wild!
    x

    <3 Mon Cherie · Dec 1, 07:47 PM · #

  82. Sarah Baby — I usually buy mine at Ricky’s in NYC, but you can buy it on Ebay or online pretty easily. & I ripped my own tights, I don’t have any great tricks to it or anything, I guess I just made a few holes & then pulled! Just go slowly next time!

    victimette — Nope, not me… I have already seen a couple of girls in Wellington with pink hair, so it was probably one of them!

    <3 Gala · Dec 1, 08:30 PM · #

  83. Wow! Cool photos. What did the necklace look like? If you need any custom decals for your phone or laptop, I’d be glad to “primp” your accessories for a shoot! Let me know…thanks!

    <3 Electra · Dec 1, 09:06 PM · #

  84. Yay! That is what I am talking about. In one paragraph you brought a smile to my face. Insomniac club/group like it!

    Take care:0)

    <3 Laura · Dec 2, 12:23 PM · #

  85. sooooo yummy are those shoes! I’m going through some hard times not indulging in heels since my second trimester, it’s just impossible with all these great new styles coming out. I’ve yet to find any flats that compare at all. any suggestions, anyone, where a young pregnant woman can find edgy, modern looking flats? all i see is the rounded toe variety that looks suitable for a freshman in high school, though i did find these really cool sandals a few weeks ago ( i am wearing them in the first post, melibeing.blogspot.com), but it’s getting colder. HELP!

    <3 MELi · Dec 4, 08:54 AM · #

  86. i know you probably hear this all the time, but you are gorgeous lady! so confident and fabulous.

    and your proclaimed singleness is a loss to men the world over. :p
