Those are truly fantastic shoes.
Also, I found your website a few months ago when looking for tips on how to choose a haircut, and I have to tell you it has since then provided me with an immense amount of useful information—both from you, and from the comments posted by your intelligent and otherwise wonderful readership.
If you don’t yet have an idea for the next IDUD, how about 80’s metal? Not quite as glam as film noir, but sure to generate very entertaining photos!
I love that blouse on you – the high neck and ruffles look great, I like the simple sleeves, and honestly if I had eyes your colour would I ever wear anything but aqua blue? I am deeply envious of the tunic – the deep-V pinafore style is calling out to me. (Saying “Nadiiine . . . how good would you look in meee . . .? “) If you ever get sick of it I could find a good home for it ;-)
You’re totally right to love that outfit – it looks incredible!
We have the same sunglasses, too.
Why Gala that looks practically professional! (And ever awesome, of course.) Thanks so much for the business casual article, both post and comments were really interesting to read!
LOVE LOVE LOVE those shoes. Love them so much i had to type out LOVE times three. They are fabulous.
I think that the eyeliner really suits you! Kinda curving out like that, cat’s-eye, or whatever it’s called. The Dali button is a fantastic touch. & I just noticed the nails match the sunnies! :)
Very swish, I’d like to see you with black leggings instead though :)
Miss Gala Darling, where did you find your Lolita sunglasses?
As an avid Nabokov and Kubrick fan (not to mention sadly-aged nymphet) I have been after a pair for myself for many years.
I can’t decide if the blue leggings give a “conservative” outfit the edgy, fun feel or if it just sets it off. Either way, I think the outfit is creative – and something to talk about!
heeheehee you look like a sexy purple haired librarian/secretary. it’s a good look. :D
I love the ruffle blouse & the eyeliner. Lovely. Is it liquid? Heh, maybe you could write a column about how to apply liquid eyeliner without popping your eyeball like a juicy grape or ending up mimicking the makeup of a panda in a primary school production. Please do, or eyeballs will go squish. My eyeballs. :
I’ve been searching for Lolita glasses EXACTLY like those 13 months (going through a Lolita obsession). Whereabouts did you get them, or do you know where l can find that pair?
Thanks cupcake,
Kahlia.
Kahlia – I’m not sure where Gala got hers, but I saw a pair extremely similar to those (possibly the same ones?) at girlprops.com.
Kahlia — Sorry, it was so long ago I’ve forgotten the name of the company! Argh! I think the model was something like “Sweetheart”, but they came from a novelty sunglasses company which also sold star-shaped sunglasses & stuff like that.
Thanks Gala & Elizabeth. I found the exact pair on eBay. Wearing them right now! :)
