Daily Outfit: 6th November 2009

[ 6 November 2009 ]

Daily outfit

It was super-cold today & very bright — I tried to get pictures of my face but I couldn’t stop squinting! This is what I wore to go & collect cupcakes.

Daily outfit

<3 Who really knows what’s going on with my hair? I clipped one side of it back when I had a shower & then decided to leave it like that. We could say it was Kate Lanphear/Tank Girl-inspired, but really, it just worked.
<3 Blue Swarovski crystal heart necklace.
<3 Sun-dress from Forever 21. I wore this dress endlessly over the summer, but don’t think it has made an appearance here before….
<3 Ye olde classic black pyramid stud belt, also from Forever 21.
<3 Paula Ryan wrap-around cardigan. This thing is so warm! I wore it open with the sides hanging down.
<3 Vintage black velvet blazer. When I got this (a gift from my friend Mary!), the sleeves weren’t quite right, so during a strange time in San Francisco, Jazzi & I sliced them open. Then I cuffed them & safety-pinned them in place. It’s crude but it works.
<3 Blue sparkly stockings from We Love Colors!
<3 Black leg-warmers from Sportsgirl... I think.
<3 Frye Veronica shortie boots.
<3 My bag — metal trim shoulder tote — is from Forever 21 too. It is vegan (a much nicer way of saying “vinyl”, to be sure) & I love it, though The Dish says it reminds him of an outfit Cher used to wear on-stage. Ahem.

Daily outfit

I don’t think it does. I had to do some searching & none of these outfits really resemble the bag all that much…

Cher
If I could turn back time… if I could find a way!

Love letters & feather headdresses,

  1. I adore that last picture…makes me want to take a nap in a sunny rooftop garden.

  2. Hello super Gala!! looking absolutely gorgeous as usual :)
    So is the super sparkly beautiful heart swarovski crystal necklace by Tarina Tarantino as well as your other one/s??? I just LOVE LOVE LOVE those (as I imagine you do) I need to get me some but last time I checked the website they had all my favorite color combinations sold out! pouty face

    Anyway they white hair looks fantastic :) any plans of getting long white fairy locks in the horizon?

  3. Gala,

    I’m still obsessed with your hair and was wondering — how often do you get your roots done, in order to maintain platinum/white hair? I have naturally black hair and am dying to get it done (I’m not even sure it’s possible, really), but am worrying about sentencing myself to $$$$$$s of salon visits!

  4. Love the dress colours and the lovely garden!

    <3 Nadine · Nov 6, 09:04 PM · #

  5. Gorgeous outfit. Really digging the colour of your tights.

    <3 Miss Sofia · Nov 6, 09:09 PM · #

  6. I LOVE those leggings! This is a very cute outfit!

    <3 Erica · Nov 6, 09:13 PM · #

  7. Oh wonderful, now I have ‘If I Could Turn Back Time’ stuck in my head! Cheers for that.

    P.S. – You look amazing, as always ;-)

    <3 shells · Nov 6, 09:17 PM · #

  8. oh gala, you are so beautiful & such an inspiration!! x!

    <3 Zooey · Nov 6, 09:19 PM · #

  9. ‘Becca’lise — I hadn’t been on this roof before, I went up there with my tripod & when I opened the door I was like, “Oooooh!” It’s like wilderness safari up there! Picnic tables & deck chairs & everything…

    Althea — No, it’s not by T.T. though I bought it off eBay & the seller claimed it was. It’s definitely not, it’s pretty low quality but it is sparkly & it does the trick so I held onto it. You can definitely buy the real thing on eBay though, just make sure you check the feedback of the seller. & long white hair? Mmmmm I don’t know, I don’t think so, we’ll see…

    meggy — I haven’t had my roots touched up yet but I should soon. I would say every month & a half or two months they will need doing.

    Nadine & Miss Sofia & Erica — Thanks v. much! xox

    shells — Haha, it did the exact same thing to me when I started thinking about it. Sorry! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEszTz… !!!

  10. I looooove your hair done like that! It’s nice to see you in blues & greens, you look spectacular.

    <3 Sam · Nov 6, 09:32 PM · #

  11. Alright, that does it! I’m finally getting a pair of dark blue tights! They always look so fantastic!

    <3 Alice · Nov 6, 10:25 PM · #

  12. I love all of your outfits, but this just might be favorite ever!!! I love blue <3

    <3 Emily · Nov 6, 10:42 PM · #

  13. Wow, I am loving the coloured tights on you! So utterly glamorous and sophisticated. I am very, very impressed.

    Don’t hate me for saying this, but it seems like your style is becoming more chic and trimmed down then it used to be, which personally, I LOVE! It’s like Gala, but better.

    <3 Luinae · Nov 6, 10:51 PM · #

  14. Gala, I want to move to New York and be your roommate and have adventures with you :) Not to mention raid your closet and hair dresser! ;)

    You’re such an inspiration, you’re always so upbeat, you post the BEST links and I LOVE your fashions, shoes, insights, blog posts, EVERYTHING...you’re such a beautiful person inside and out!

    Much love from Florida, wish you were closer so I could revel in your awesomeness in person!!

    mwah!

    <3 Stephy · Nov 6, 10:54 PM · #

  15. Very cute and bright for a cold day! I must try to follow your example of brighter colors for cooler weather. :)

    <3 Aimee · Nov 7, 12:47 AM · #

  16. This is probably the wrong post for this as you’re not wearing pink at all, but Tori Amos’ Pink & Glitter (from her new record) made me think of you so much. The chorus goes like this: ‘Shower the world with pink if you please’. http://www.last.fm/music/Tori+Amos/_/...

    Love, Hannah

    <3 Hannah · Nov 7, 02:07 AM · #

  17. I love this outfit! Blue really suits you.

    <3 Drummbellina · Nov 7, 04:08 AM · #

  18. I love the whole outfit, especially the cardigan, and I love your hair!

    <3 Zmaga · Nov 7, 05:09 AM · #

  19. 1. yay for sparkly stockings!
    2. it’s weird (but refreshing) to see a pinkless post.
    3. Sportsgirl! That’s quite the throwback to my aussie childhood…

    <3 Helena · Nov 7, 05:09 AM · #

  20. you’re hair looks so punk this way.
    heartache for serendiptious hairstyles xo

  21. I don’t care if Cher is like, 60 something, I would still do her.

    <3 Nick · Nov 7, 07:38 AM · #

  22. I want your beautiful dresses! I have that F21 belt too, but need to pay a visit there again when I’m in NY to get dresses to go with it!

    Your lovely blonde hair reminds me of Agyness.

    <3 Becky · Nov 7, 10:00 AM · #

  23. Wow, I love the color coordination in this outfit! :) Very beautiful. I always wonder how to pull off neat colored nights and you’ve inspired me.

    <3 Jaclynn · Nov 7, 10:28 AM · #

  24. Gala darling, darling Gala…Love you! I start off each day with you…can’t wait to see what you have in store…you brighten up my mornings and help to start my day off on a positive vibe! Thank you!

    <3 Lissa Casher · Nov 7, 11:07 AM · #

  25. Ooh, that last picture is so beautiful! You’re looking lovely.

  26. I’m really enjoying the fact that you seem to have such a fun, happy relationship. Granted, your relationship really isn’t any of my business whatsoever, but it makes me happy, you know? I like romance. I think when you fall in love, it makes you think “everyone in the world should feel this good,” so when someone else has it, you feel like “yes, awesome. that’s how the world should be … “

    Or maybe I’m crazy. lol

  27. I think The Dish means this outfit, famously worn in the “If I Could Turn Back Time” video: www.papelpop.com/wp/wp

    <3 danielle · Nov 7, 03:34 PM · #

  28. Love the colors of this outfit. I am loving blues right now.

    <3 Jayne Riot · Nov 7, 03:49 PM · #

  29. I vote YES on Proposition Dresses in Autumn! Cheap-but-gorgeous dresses (Forever 21 and Target) + bright tights (We Love Colors) + knee-high boots + pashmina scarves have become my fall staples. I’m going to rock the tights till the first snow of winter. Then, maybe pants.

  30. try this cher on for size:

  31. I recognise that rooftop and its surrounding in the background…I live right next door to it!!

    <3 ponyparty · Nov 7, 11:50 PM · #

  32. I love your leg warmers and tights! Sooo cute paired with the sundress!! I really like blue and green. I think I have way to many green pieces in my wardrobe. Such a lovely outfit!

    <3 Jacqueline · Nov 8, 02:06 AM · #

  33. Ah, I LOVE that dress! I totally thought it was your Kate Sylvester dress though, that you once worn in a daily outfit post with the most excellent of cowboy boots! But alas, I can now see the difference :) Super pretty, Gala!

    <3 x Corrine/Frock & Roll x · Nov 8, 02:30 AM · #

  34. I can always count on Forever 21 for rad, affordable fashion. That dress looks superb on ya!

    <3 Elana · Nov 8, 10:18 AM · #

  35. I agree with Danielle, Megan, and The Dish.
