Daily Outfit -- 5th September 2008

[ 7 September 2008 ]

Daily outfit

What I wore to the first day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week (& to attend the Nicole Miller & Erin Fetherston shows).

<3 Freshly-dyed hair
<3 Pink knit hat
<3 Vintage turquoise & gold dress from Lullie Vintage
<3 Bag from Femme Sud‘s Ex Libris collection
<3 Stacked platform wedges from Sportsgirl (!)

Peep the idyllic setting!

Porch swing & all. I like this spot very much.

So, more details about the bag, oui? It is my new favourite thing. I am totally blissed out by it. Some of you may remember that I posted my birthday wishlist a little while ago, & on there was Femme Sud‘s teal ‘Honorable Mention’ wristlet. Well, lucky me, because when I arrived in New York, I opened a big cardboard box to find it inside, as well as the Diary bag! So happy!

It was a big hit at fashion week, & there are a lot of photos out there of me clutching it!

Femme Sud

Amazingly, it holds a lot of treats. Here’s what the contents looked like at the end of the day: Wallet; necklace from Nicole Miller show; press pass; digital camera; my, my Metrocard; Erin Fetherston show information; photo from Amex Sky Box Lounge; Erin Fetherston invitation; Helio Ocean; Blistex; Fashion Indie flyer; Nicole Miller invitation; a street-style blog address; an illustrator’s business card.

Femme Sud

This is the inside flap.

Awwww!

More fashion week madness coming soon!


Super-love & cupcakes,

  2. I’ve never heared of that bag before but now I want one,

    you know it makes me think of those books to keep secrets in, like you cut out the center of the pages and there you can store stuf nobody may find. from the outside a book, from the inside something different
    like this i21.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/e7/e5…
    but then a more DIY kind of way!

  3. I love your digital camera, what model is it?

    I just saw your Fashion week video! It’s awesome.

    <3 Julie · Sep 7, 09:07 AM · #

    <3 Laurin · Sep 7, 09:08 AM · #

  5. Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!!

    <3 Renee · Sep 7, 09:10 AM · #

  6. Julie — Which camera? ;D The one I used to take the daily outfit shots is a Nikon D80. The one in my handbag is a Nikon Coolpix P5100. & thanks!

    Laurin — I luh-luh-looove it!

    <3 Gala · Sep 7, 09:12 AM · #

    you look awesome!

    <3 giulianna · Sep 7, 09:12 AM · #

  9. also, do you know if these shoes or something similar is available anywhere. i’ve checked sportsgirl but found nothing. i’ve never found these type of lolita shoes!

    <3 dollheart · Sep 7, 09:21 AM · #

  10. You look lovely Gala!

    <3 Alexa · Sep 7, 09:26 AM · #

  11. I am suffering from a serious bout of really wanting that bag. I love it! So adorable!

    <3 Katie · Sep 7, 09:29 AM · #

  13. omg it’s amazing!!!

    <3 Lauren · Sep 7, 09:44 AM · #

  14. The bag is totally cute. I love that dress, and the beautiful location, and I’m especially taken with the hair/hat combo. Very nice.

    <3 Nadine · Sep 7, 09:45 AM · #

  15. Yep. That Diary bag is absolutely killer. I want!

    Also, you’re looking super adorable. I love the dress and chunky shoe combination.

    <3 Trisha · Sep 7, 10:00 AM · #

  16. PS – I looked at the Ex-libris collection on the Femme Sud site, and I really adore and covet the photo album bag, but the price made me go ‘whoa’. (WOL . . . ?) You are a very lucky lady!

    <3 Nadine · Sep 7, 10:06 AM · #

  17. That bag is adorable! But if Nadine says the price makes her go ‘whoa’, I doubt I should even look at the website. College student budget, yo!

    <3 Rachel · Sep 7, 10:10 AM · #

  18. bubblecious bag:) i now want the yearbook one!

    <3 Brenda · Sep 7, 11:20 AM · #

  19. You look beautiful, Gala! :)

    <3 x Miss Corrine x · Sep 7, 11:24 AM · #

  20. GALA GALA GALA!! Thank you so so much for mentioning Etsy. Guess what I ordered this morning? You look utterly spectacular, by the way. An Alice in Wonderland covered Moleskin journal and Boudica snake charms =) teehee. I thought you’d appreciate my appreciation by knowing what I found. Love xo

    <3 seren · Sep 7, 11:28 AM · #

  21. Gotta love wrap-around porches!

    <3 Alice · Sep 7, 11:31 AM · #

  22. The bag is the awesomest. I really really really want the photo album one but the prices are waaaaaay beyond my student budget!! Did you get it as a freebie or did someone buy it for you?

    <3 Joanne · Sep 7, 11:41 AM · #

  23. That’s really cute! What does SWAK stand for? Do you know?

    <3 Annie Spandex · Sep 7, 12:20 PM · #

  24. How awesome is your outfit!!! I wanna go to Fashion Week!!! Glad your back in NYC...yay!

    <3 ss · Sep 7, 12:36 PM · #

  25. Thats by far my favorite dress in the world. when you get tired of it (which i can’t imagine why) swing it my way….all sorts of goodness!

    <3 Katrina · Sep 7, 01:42 PM · #

  26. I like yr le tigre reference… :)
    every time I get on the subway I can’t help singing it in my head.

    <3 zeynep · Sep 7, 02:00 PM · #

  27. Oh Gala, you never cease to make me gasp...!
    The things you say, create and come up with are inspring beyond measure…

    With Melbourne summer creeping up around the corner, I was hoping you’d be able to post a ‘Corporate Chic for 40degree heat’ article – it’ll be my first Melbourne summer and my first real job… any style tips would be greatly appreciated as I wanna look hot, but keep cool and still dress to impress those in the rat race xxx

    <3 Jersey · Sep 7, 02:11 PM · #

  28. Le gasp! One of my friends was talking about that bag, and I thought it sounded amazing! Quelle coincidence! I am in love with it, all the way. That outfit is spectacular.

    <3 Sasha · Sep 7, 03:42 PM · #

  29. Annie Spandex – I’m sure your question was for Gala but SWAK stands for Sealed with a Kiss.

    PS. I love the bag its absolutely adorable, Gala!

    <3 tezzi · Sep 7, 03:57 PM · #

  30. Everyone has already said it, but that bag! want want want want want! But I must save, I’m moving to Melbourne in 2 months!

    <3 gen · Sep 7, 05:41 PM · #

  31. oh, gala, all this is so awesome i have no words for it! you look totally stunning!

    <3 Daiane · Sep 7, 05:45 PM · #

  32. I am crushing on your bag so bad, Gala. Not to mention you look too adorable for words.

    How I wish I could be at fashion week looking at least half as glamorous as you!!

    Love—

    <3 Emcee Morgan · Sep 7, 08:07 PM · #

    <3 Leanne · Sep 7, 09:19 PM · #

    <3 Clare · Sep 7, 11:29 PM · #

    <3 tara · Sep 8, 02:55 AM · #

  36. “my, my Metrocard…”

    ...lovin the little Le Tigre reference ;)

    <3 margo · Sep 8, 03:36 AM · #

  37. I know you’ve probably said this, but where are you staying?

    Because Im looking at the background and and house, and since the houses are spaced apart, it’s probably not Brooklyn. Is it Long Island? No. It’s the city city. Okay Im saying Brooklyn again. Final vote. I bet I totally missed it on another page.

    Im just trying to figure it out cause my Grandma lives in Brooklyn And since everyone in brooklyn is right next to everyone else that’d be wicked cool.

    Ok so anyway. Brooklyn.

    <3 cdazzle · Sep 8, 05:20 AM · #

  38. You look so beautiful, Gala!! I can’t wait to hear more about your fashion week experiences! :)

    <3 Casey · Sep 8, 06:12 AM · #

  39. squeal I LOVE the diary bag! I must check that out. And your clothes are beautiful too. I like the contrast of the cool dress with your bright hat.

    <3 Lilavati · Sep 8, 06:53 AM · #

  40. Gala your travels are amazing and I look forward to every new place you go. But how do you afford it? Some tips would be great, because I would love to travel all the time too!

    Janine

    <3 Janine · Sep 8, 08:28 AM · #

  41. Most amazing clutch ever! More bags should feature in-built mirrors.

    <3 Nicola · Sep 8, 09:12 AM · #

  42. Thank you cuties! Mwahhh!

    Nadine — I agree! xx

    Joanne — They sent them to me, complimentary :>

    Annie Spandex — As tezzi said, it stands for ‘sealed with a kiss’!

    Jersey — Good luck! Corporate attire is totally not my forte; I am the worst ever person to take advice from on that front, since I always used to flaunt the dress code & get in trouble for it!

    cdazzle — Brooklyn is correct! I’m here for at least a little while…

    <3 Gala · Sep 8, 10:25 AM · #

  43. Your bag! I covet!

    <3 [a} · Sep 8, 10:58 AM · #

  44. I am so good haha. Near Park Slope?

    I totally need to go to NY now haha. You could come visit my great grandma with me.

    <3 cdazzle · Sep 8, 11:36 AM · #

  45. Loveliness abound in the outfit! I adore porch swings aussi. :) And the bag… swoonessity!

    <3 stifledlaughter · Sep 8, 12:38 PM · #

  46. That Diary bag is fantastic! I like the whole outfit, actually — what a gorgeous dress.

    <3 Lia · Sep 8, 01:28 PM · #

  47. i really want one of those book bags… the grand prix collection they have is also great. I’d want a fairy tales book bag!

    <3 Ali · Sep 8, 02:15 PM · #

  48. i’m really glad you like the bags! i fell in love with them the first time i saw them.

    ps: to those people who went “whoah” a little at the prices, the bags are made of really great lambskin and satin (although the grand prix bags are just satin), all lovingly made and beautifully embroidered here in new york. i know, because i oversaw some of the production process!! :)

    <3 gilda · Sep 8, 02:58 PM · #

  49. howhowhow did you get into the erin featherston show, that’s awesome :D?! I’m an FIT student and I would love to sneak into the fashion week shows, but sadly I don’t think I could if I tried XD. (jk I won’t sneak in).

    <3 darshana · Sep 8, 04:58 PM · #

  50. gilda — For what they are, & the quality of the workmanship, I think the prices are spot-on. I LOVE my diary bag SO MUCH!

    darshana — Good luck sneaking in! Haha. They have police guarding the back entrances & the guys at the front door are like the Gestapo! It is an intense place!

    <3 Gala · Sep 8, 05:15 PM · #

  51. cute cute cute bag dearly. it is very lust worthy.

    <3 Shelby · Sep 8, 08:44 PM · #

  52. How FUN! I especially love the “Cutie Pie” mirror.

    <3 Sal · Sep 9, 06:30 AM · #

  53. Love that hat and hair combo.

    <3 WendyB · Sep 9, 08:16 AM · #

  54. darshana> dude those gestapo guys are huger than chewbacca! do not attempt! :> what are you majoring in FIT? i’m at parsons. :)
