Daily Outfit -- 9th September 2008
[ 10 September 2008 ]
It’s been a Betsey Johnson kinda day. First I went to the show, sat in the front row, & just about died of awesome. Then I hopped the subway down to the Betsey Johnson boutique in Soho… & well… Let’s just say, baby went shopping.
(You can call me a bag lady like Erykah Badu, if you want. I don’t mind.)
But oh, oh, what did I buy? It’s a surprise, though I will tell you that I bought myself a birthday dress & a nice pair of shoes to go with it…
Okay, so here’s what I wore to the show.
Super-cheap dress (you know it, I wore it to the Louis Vuitton party when I was here last!)
Cardigan from Urban Outfitters (I’m getting a lot of wear out of it)
Earrings & ring from Tokyomade (close-ups below!)
Bag by Trent Nathan
Long grey socks
Frye Veronica Shortie boots
Other ring by Tarina Tarantino
That little blue bag is my swag bag from the show. Contents: the sunglasses I’m wearing in these photos, underwear, eye-shadow from Makeup Forever, a perfume sample, shampoo, & an invitation to the Betsey Johnson afterparty! (My next stop…)
This arrived in the mail from Tokyo today. I am in RAPTURE. It is the most amazing ring of all time, & I just gotta say a heartfelt THANKS to Deanne & Masao, the best long-distance friends a gal could have! (Some of you might remember it was on my birthday wishlist…) If you want to procure one of these for yourself, click here! Too incredible; I love the Pink Champaign one!
I also had my photo taken by Nylon Japan today. It was pretty fantastic.
Details of the Betsey Johnson show soon! (I took photos & made videos!)
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

You look utterly fantastic, especially your hair with the dress. I imagine that bright clothing fit in very well at the Betsey Johnson show, which I’d kill to have seen. I’m always staring at her jewelry collection in awe whenever I’m in NYC, and she’s an utterly fabulous person overall.
I loooooooooove that dress.
Yay for cheap things. =]
I love the purple dress, it’s gorgeous :) And I’ve got the exact same UO cardigan, I’m wearing it to death.
xo
P.S. The ring looks just like red liquorice laces that you can buy in the sweet shops!
Miss Gala, I am so JEALOUS you got to see the Betsey show! Except not really, because I know you treasured it and so I can sit here at my desk and go, “muwahahaha vicarious gleeeee.”
My sister went to a Betsey Johnson outlet shop recently, they were having a buy-one-get-one-free sale, how amazing is that!?!?!? The dresses were all marked down to about $100 as well!
you look spectacular as always, gala. i am so going to buy one of those rings! squeal! amazing! i really want to change my hair into some superduper bright and amazing colour for the summer … i’m tossing up between blue and violet!

The Tokyomade ring looks like a ribbon bow!
Can’t wait to see more about the show :)
Oops—poet and didn’t know it, haa
I LOVE that dress! I love that you can belt it or not and, either way, it still looks amazing. Where did you get it?
That ring is INSANITY! I touch my hair all the time (OCD) so I’d be afraid it would end up looking like a shipwrecked alien with hair all over it by the end of the day, but I love it anyway.
You’re stunning as usual. Can’t wait for the wedding!
that ring is all types of awesomeness rolled into one, love it…i have to agree with f is for faye, the first thing i thought of was licorice candy!! a great outfit to see the fabulous miss betsey…
That dress and your current hair colour (my favourite so far, btw) were made for each other.
The ring is so whack, I love it!! I want the jello ones…a pile of them to wear at once!
i LOVE it. the purple looks absolutely lovely on you, lady!
Lookin’ good, my bride to be! I am the luckiest nubs ever!!!!!
Looking fab, Gala. I love the combination of brights and classic black.
That dress is every kind of fabulous – so pleased to see it in it’s entirety. It’s gotta be that eye-hurting fluoro fuchsia in real life, right? Please say yes!
Also, front row!?!?!? Get right outta town!
Congrats on the ring and the photo taken by Nylon Japan. squee I can’t wait to see the coverage of the Gala+Nubby wedding. You’re too fab.
omg! how do you wear that ring?! it would distract me from e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g :D
i’m so happy it sounds like you are having tons of fun and enjoying yourself at fashion week, hooray!
can’t honestly wait for TiLT, because i missed it last week…i’m sure you have tons of awesome things to share and i know i have a couple too (ooo surprises!!)
that outfit looks so comfy!
i’ve yet to find my perfect comfy dress, but i certainly love looking at your photos for inspiration.
Stunning!
(as always)
I really like that whatever it is you are wearing you know how to make it look like one of a kind and fab!
What an unbelievable ring! It looks like a revamped crazy straw, or even glow-stick!
And I loooove your dress’ shade of purple!
Aw, I adore that cardigan. I had a sweater that looked just like that when I was in the ninth grade, but back then I was trying the whole “emo” thing. The sweater was totally wasted on my wannabe goth phase.
Love it, as always! And the ring? 100% epic.
you look soo incredibly awesome, and everything sounds so amazing! can’t wait for more! xo
i love that ring! but wouldn’t it get in the way?
I can’t believe I missed you today?!
My celebrity friend in the front row!
:)
you look beautiful today
Sx
great dress! fabulous ring creation!! can’t wait to get one to wear to work
can you look into cosmetics and beauty products that aren’t tested on animals/don’t use ingredients tested on animals? I’m changing what I eat and what I put on my face and body, even what detergent I use. The US PETA rules seem much looser than the choosecrueltyfree rules in Australia. The US rules allow testing on animals “if required by law”. I say we’ve done enough testing (too much!!!) already, we should know what is safe. I don’t want to use anything tested on beautiful, innocent animals. It’s beauty at too high a price.
can you do something on this, Gala?
ooh, birthday outfit! can’t wait to see what you picked out! my birthday is on friday and it only just occurred to me to go shopping for a little sartorial present for myself…you’ll be my inspiration (though as dear betsey is a bit beyond my reach, i think i’m headed to my favorite vintage store, Flounce, to see what fabulous finds they have. i’m hoping for a 20s flapper frock, with fringe if at all possible…!)
I am in COMPLETE LUST with that dress!!!! It makes my heart pound and me thinks I may have to try to find/make one for myself! How exciting! Cant wait for more show info – soak it all up for all of us living through you miss gala!!!!
GALA! Gala! Gala! Gala!
I am lovin’ all these daily outfits, and I’m not sure why but this particular one has made me immensely happy! If only you could see the silly grin on my face!
Anyway… thanks! And HELLO to everyone! I hope you’re in as good a mood as I am!!!!!!
Love Ayesha.
Hey Gala!
So glad that you are doing more daily outfits!! It is wonderful to see how you put stuff together!
In fact before going to The Burlesque Hour in Melbourne (awesome show btw!!) on the weekend I needed some sartorial inspiration and logged straight on to your site – fabulous! Thank you!
OOOh and I am so jealous you are going to the Miss Sixty show!!!
can’t wait for the wedding. yahoo! but i have nothing to wear! hahahah! i need to cook something up.
Ah, I’m so jealous you went to a Betsey Johnson show! You look great and I love the boot and sock combo!
The ring is INSANE, it’s completely fantastic!
How long are you in NYC this time around?
Gala, I am dying with jealousness (jealousity?).
Enjoy!
I love that dress….always looks great when you wear it….it’s my favourite item of clothing of yours….that and the American Apparel grey sweater!
I had the oddest dream last night in which I received an email from you about the release of a Gala Darling screensaver and ringtone for mobile phones…. That’s what happens when I read iCiNG late at night I guess!
You look fantabulous!! And I LOVE love love that dress!
that ring is like super crazeeeee!!!!
glad you had a wonderful time :)
I LOVE that dress. How do you get invited to all these fashion shows? Its my dream!
that ring is amazing! as is the dress, you look beautiful :) what did you think of the show?
super cute! as a new yorker, I’ve been trying to figure out where you’re staying…where the heck are you? the porch swing looks too idyllic for the city!
You tease! Show us the shopping trip goodies!!
I agree with Gina – I can’t figure it out either. I wish I had a porch swing … I’ve never seen one in New York.
So, where are you staying?
Miss Elle — It came from a bargain store on Broadway called ‘Necessary Clothing’. It was sooooo cheap, & they sell it at Patricia Field too, but for about $50 more, & only in blue.
Nadine — It is totally painful to look at, so yes! Hahha.
Sasha — A good cardigan is worth its weight in gold. This one isn’t amazing quality or anything, I know it is going to pill like mad, but it does the trick for now!
tatiana — Not so much… Plus, I wear it on my left hand, & I don’t do much with that one ;D I use my other hand for going into my bag, haha!
altamiranyc — Damn, baby!
kiki — If you Google it there are lots of lists of cruelty-free companies. It’s not really something I feel I can improve on, since I have no new information. Anyway, if you just stick to Lush & MAC, you’re pretty much set ;D
Material Girl — Aw, yay! Happy birthday for Friday, Virgo gal!
Popartpistol — Until mid-November :>
A — Hahah. Did you buy one in your dream?!
Sheema — I’m press, I RSVPd to a whole lot of stuff, & I have friends who treat me!
tara — The show was amazing. Very conceptual & a lot of fun. I will write it up later on today!
Sal — Patience, little one! ;>
Cassaundra — Brooklyn :>
Oh my GOD. I flipped out earlier today.
I was flipping channels and came across our local hispanic channel, and they were talking about fashion week and this one hispanic designer. (I have no idea who he was, and now I can’t remember his name for the life of me!)
Anyway…
They were showing a few models and I SWEAR sitting in the front row was either you. OR someone who looked EXACTLY like you.
I only got a like half second glimpse of whoever this mysterious person was. But they had PINK HAIR and BIG SUNGLASSES.
I was like “OMG was that GALA!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!!!!!!!!!”
Then wished I had tivo or whatever so I could rewind and watch again.
Jamie — Not me! I haven’t worn sunglasses inside at all! I wonder who it was… That’s soooo funny. I wonder if it was Tarina Tarantino or Jeffree Star?!
Even your shopping bags fit in perfectly with your colourful aesthetic! How do you do it, Miss Darling?
The ring was made for you Gala! You are a dazzling creation of deliciousness as usual! Hope that you have a fabulous birthday…of course it will be. We are so sad we cannot be there to party it up with you!
Looking forward to all the yummy snapshots of the endless celebrations!
All our love from Tokyo,
d and Masao

That ring is amazing. It’s like a piece of wearable modern art.
