Style Tips -- 11th November 2008

[ 12 November 2008 ]

Chloe
Photos by & of my beautiful friend Chloe.

<3 Take a photo of yourself looking really, really happy. Bonus points: link to it in the comments! (Here’s my submission.)

<3 Change the way you walk. It seems like a little thing, but it can make a huge difference. I had a friend who used to bounce up on her foot with every step — it was adorable & made her even more awesome than she already was. Or try to move more fluidly, more gracefully. See how it makes you feel.

<3 Give your friends things that they can wear. There is nothing better than wearing something that someone you love has given you, because you feel a connection to them the whole time it’s against your skin. Give your friend a necklace, knit them a scarf, buy a charm for their bracelet or make them a tote bag, & then tell them why.

<3 Flirt more. Flirt with everyone, even people you don’t really like or aren’t really interested in. First of all, it’s excellent practice, & secondly, it makes everyone feel better.

<3 Develop an appreciation for marmalade.

<3 Adopt this as your credo:

Harry Winston


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  1. I heart marmalade! When we went to England for a few days, I stuffed packets & mini jars of marmalade from the hotel buffets in my purse. At the airport I realized I wouldn’t be able to take them on the plane with me..so right there in front of the security guards, me & my family had to eat them all up. We were allowed to board the plane after that, but not until everyone around had a good laugh at our gluttony. :)

  2. I love those photos, your friend is super cute! :D

    <3 tara · Nov 12, 03:44 AM · #

  3. I used to make really good marmalade, though it takes an age to do! I love the quote too :)

    <3 Vixel · Nov 12, 03:50 AM · #

  4. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to appreciate marmalade! Love that quote though! It’s so true. x

    <3 Aimee Marie · Nov 12, 03:51 AM · #

  5. aw your picture really makes me want to move to NYC. it was my dream forever, and then i changed my mind, but more and more everyday i want to live there. ahh decisions are so scary.

    also, i love flirting. but i think it gets me into too much trouble haha

    <3 Lillian · Nov 12, 03:57 AM · #

  6. A favorite quote of mine (in a similar vein) is:
    If you’re going to turn some heads, you might as well break some necks. It’s like go big or go home!

    <3 Poochie · Nov 12, 04:00 AM · #

  7. HAHAH at [a}‘s story :D

    that flirting technique is wonderful. I remember you writing about that in an article from ages ago & I practise it a lot now.

    <3 claire · Nov 12, 04:18 AM · #

  8. haha i loove that quote!

    picturee photos

  9. I love you… You always make me smile. I’m at work so no photo for now!

  10. Here is my Happy Photo: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y171/MimsieSky/TeaCups.jpg?t=1226417834

    It was my last day in California in June. I got to spend an impromptu day at Disneyland with a super cute boy and I really wanted to ride in the teacups all day. I was so happy that day and that moment. :)

    I love your blog! The style tips are always my favorite.I just found your blog a week ago and I’ve been eating up your articles xD keep them coming!

    <3 Anna · Nov 12, 04:44 AM · #

  12. I’m so re-blogging this!
    I love your happy photo!
    Here’s mine; it’s actually a bit old, but when I look at it I feel how happy I was then so intensely, it always makes me grin like a loon!
    img.photobucket.com/albums/v42…

    I think I’m kind of an accidental flirt, people tend to think I’m doing it when I don’t mean to! :s

    <3 Hannahbelle · Nov 12, 04:45 AM · #

  13. That last one? Is SO what I needed to hear right now. Teaching yourself that it’s okay if people stare is pretty difficult.

    <3 Phiremangston · Nov 12, 04:47 AM · #

  14. Happy picture!

    farm4.static.flickr.com/3050/3…

    I think your style tips are my favorite. :)

  15. That is a great quote.
    A picture of me when I first dyed my hair pink earlier this year: flickr.com/photos/jamileerosa/...
    I was so excited and I still love it.

    <3 Jami · Nov 12, 05:02 AM · #

  16. Blegh to marmalade. I always forget I don’t like it, buy it, and then remember once I’ve spread it on some toast. Tragic.

    Everyone’s photo is great! I super needed to see a bunch of happy faces today :)

    Here’s my most recent happy photo: www.flickr.com/photos/afriendl…

    My photo!

    I wish I could love marmalade. I can’t get past the taste of orange peel. What I really love? Fig preserves! My grandma used to make them, they are divine!

    <3 Nancy · Nov 12, 05:14 AM · #

  18. I have the biggest girl crush on Chloe St. Reagan. Her photography is so brilliant, whimsical and colourful. Plus she always looks like she’s having such a fun time.

    I’m definitely going to start giving my friends things to wear, such a good idea, thanks Gala!

    <3 Samantha · Nov 12, 05:21 AM · #

  19. It’s really funny reading the comments and seeing how everyone has fixated on the marmalade hehe.
    I love that quote and fully intend to steal it.
    I totally agree with changing how you walk too, especially if you’re having a low day and you can’t quite pull yourself out of it. Just putting your shoulders back, looking up and walking a touch faster than usual can put you in a totally different mood.

    <3 Rhomany · Nov 12, 05:26 AM · #

  20. Great post! And you’ve reminded me to give wearable gifts for the holidays.

    <3 J · Nov 12, 05:34 AM · #

  21. “Flirt more.” Oy vey! I flirt all the time, just for fun(and to be nice, you know!)...I’m a receptionist for a doctor in a little office…it always backfires on me! Even when I don’t mean to flirt, I guess people thing I’m flirting X_X I got asked out by a 40 year old guy once!! awkward….!!

    <3 Cup · Nov 12, 05:42 AM · #

  22. Here’s my happy picture, from last night when I was goofing off and dressing up as a video game character: img.photobucket.com/albums/v77…

    I also think it bears a striking resemblance to this: encyclopediadramatica.com/Imag… Heehee.

    Also! I love the walking suggestion. I always change up the way I traverse; yesterday night I was skipping and galloping around!

    <3 Anna (AKA Saxy) · Nov 12, 05:43 AM · #

  23. Here’s my happy photo! I try my hardest not to smile in pictures, but I was on the staten island ferry with my absolute favorite people that I never get to see, and it was so perfect.

    <3 Elena · Nov 12, 05:56 AM · #

  24. I don’t often leave comments but this is really fun, looking at everyone else’s happy pictures. My picture is a really happy memory with my boyfriend at Ocean City (yes, happy even in New Jersey with chemically waves in the background!)... Thanks Gala for reminding us of good things.

  25. Everyone’s happy pictures make me REALLY happy. Great idea Gala!

    Here’s me on my very happiest day:

    <3 Sayward · Nov 12, 06:54 AM · #

  26. I love nothing more than giving wearable gifties to my friends. Handmade items are the best, but even a gift of fun and funky hand-me-down clothes can transform someone’s day. It’s such a joy to give those presents and know you’ll be thought of whenever they’re worn, and equally fun to GET them and feel treasured by the ones you love!

    <3 Sal · Nov 12, 06:59 AM · #

  27. Definitely going to spread more of this love around…

    Here is my picture: pics.livejournal.com/bunnykiss…

    It’s from 2004, but I can’t seem to find a more recent one with that kind of joy… o

    <3 BunnyKissd · Nov 12, 07:07 AM · #

  28. thank you thank you thank you thank you for that quote. i love it!!

    <3 Sara · Nov 12, 07:35 AM · #

  29. Flirt more. Flirt with everyone, even people you don’t really like or aren’t really interested in. First of all, it’s excellent practice, & secondly, it makes everyone feel better.

    haha i have been doing this so much lately.
    and worst yet is i do it at work with my co-workers.

    this guy and i teaze each other and say i hate you. but then when we leave for the night or see each other after one of us goes to break we say “you’re BACK!! i missed you!!”

    its really so much fun.

  32. People will stare. Make it worth their while. – Harry Winston

    Yup, I will adopt that credo. Frankly, I feel like it’s always been mine. You gotta stop worrying about people looking at you, because they WILL look at you and they’re worried about you looking at them too!

    <3 Donna Vitan · Nov 12, 07:58 AM · #

  33. Oooh, all that smiling for my photo put me in a much better mood!

  35. I simply love the quote at the end of your post, although I’ll admit, it is easy to be cynical and pass on the message. Today so many things are difficult and there are so many worries and concerns that being snippy and petty seems to happen more often. Nice post, made me smile! Teri sandtcreations.etsy.com

  38. Making things for people to wear- such a good one. I’ve been meaning to take up knitting again, just need to find time to hit up a craft store (quite difficult during tech week for a musical!)

    <3 Rachel · Nov 12, 08:27 AM · #

  39. wow marmalade, its so under-rated.. i am buying some in this weeks shopping! thanks!!

    sweet.

    i also practice giving jewelery that i adore to people i really love. For Star’s birthday, i gave her a little shell necklace that was carved out of bone that i had worn for months straight – that was something more meaningful to me than a random gift.

  43. It makes me happy seeing other people happy. Here are two photos from 2007 that remind me of how happy I am when I get to help others (this was during some anthropological research):

  56. Oh, now I have a craving for marmalade on toast, ha ha! I developed an unhealthy obsession for Marmalade as a child thanks to none other than one Paddington Bear :).
    My happy picture was taken a couple of years ago on my 24th birthday. A big bunch of friends and I went ice skating for the first time, and I have never laughed so hard (lucky it was cold, coz I think a little bit of wee came out).

  58. GALA!

    You don’t know me, but I have to share some exciting news with you regarding REALIZING MY FULL POTENTIAL and GLITTER.

    I’m in a burlesque troupe, now! I had my first show this past weekend and it was amazing, I’ve totally found my calling! I now know what it’s like to truly and totally love what you are doing.
    I also recently got accepted to God’s Girls. [My modeling name is Sedgwick.]

    And I work at LUSH. You’re right, it’s amazing, I hope they keep me past temp/seasonal. Sometimes they call me a core staff member, so it looks like it might happen, but either way…

    I AM SO EFFING HAPPY CAREER-WISE RIGHT NOW.
    If only my relationships were so successful. I’m an 18-year-old burlesque dancing alt-model. WHY CAN’T I GET A DATE?!

    Love,
    Kate

  66. Adore the quote.

    I’ve tried to change my walk, but I always end up reverting to my norm. My vote is for trying to spend an entire evening behaving as if you believe someone else – someone you admire – would. Next time I go out, I’m going to be Audrey Hepburn.

  75. Give your friends things that they can wear. There is nothing better than wearing something that someone you love has given you, because you feel a connection to them the whole time it’s against your skin.

    This is so true! One of my friends went to Bali for a holiday and when she came back she gave me a bracelet that she’d had made especially for me over there, with my name engraved in it and everything. It’s one of my most treasured possessions :D

    -this night i was hanging out with some of my favorite people in the world
    -i made vegan cupcakes for my friends housewarming party
    -i was wearing my comfy clothes from banana republic

    my favorite pictures are those that are candid. :)
    i enjoyed seeing all of the beautiful, happy people that are fellow blog readers.

  77. haha! I was at Target today and I randomly thought of this post while browsing the isles. I straightened myself up from my normal slouch and literally put a little bounce in my step. I really felt like a different person! lol It made me feel very confident and awake which was definitely a great break from my normal zombie demeanor.

    This is my smiling picture, it’s the first picture of me as a 21 year old taken on my birthday! :)
    I love this, all of it!
    My BFF makes tote bags and pouches, and I love having her around ALL the time since I have like three bags and a million pouches. It makes me miss her like mad, but I’m glad to have her around all the time even in such a small way. So now I think I’m really going to have to make her something to wear!
    I’m a bad flirter, I flirt like crazy! I can’t help it!
    I love dressing up everyday, it makes the day get off to a wicked start, and I always get the best looks.

  90. i’ve been noticing how people walk lately, it’s weird.

    it started with laughably appreciating the unique and comical ways bill and nick walk in (the unfortunately cancelled) freaks and geeks.

    i’ve been watching it marathon-wise with my two bests for the past week.

    and here’s my happy picture, a day after elections, so cliche!

  91. [a} love the marmelade story, can you also advice me wich one tasted best or was it only one flavour?

    ok me at my happiest is from this summer when i was hitchhiking through europe and we were looking for a good spot but came across this cute little flower patch next to an intersection!

    I used to sew up little red hearts for my friends. To encourage them in tough situations and give them a ‘little love’ for extra staying power. So one of my friends took it with him to the war to Iraq and whenever he felt down or missing him family he just sqeezed his little heart. :) I made some hearts with glitter last year but maybe its time to make some and hand them out again. Thanks for that reminder Gala!

  92. I have tried so hard to like marmalade, but I just can’t do it! It seems like the sort of thing that I should like, but my taste buds will not comply. Now I need to go and take a photo of myself… xxx

  100. Wow. I had the worst day today and I came home and read the article so I thought I would look at everybodies happy pictures and they really made my day! It’s impossible to be sad when I’m surrounded by happy people on the interweb. I will definatley post a happy picture tommorow becuase they have really put me in such a good mood that I’m sure I will have an EXCELLENT day tommorow : ) Thanks Gala & Co

  101. All the pictures of happy people are so much nicer than the myspace-esque doom-faces one sees every day!

    <3 Rose · Nov 13, 04:40 PM · #

  102. Harry Winston is Lord of Jewelry. Good choice of quote.
    I flirted with my co-worker because she’s female and it seems more entertaining. I also took many photos of myself in a closet full of my grandmother’s dresses. This was before reading your entry. I feel even happier about my daily events after reading. :D
    Marmalade is for REAL toast. But Lemon or Orange? It’s a hard choice.
    Merci, Miss Gala!

  104. I’ve become a bit of an insomniac lately, getting only 3-4 hours of sleep when I used to normally get between 7-9. It was really starting to take a toll on me and my attitude towards life in general. I just wanted to let you know that everyone’s happy pictures really made my day. It’s 1 AM and I feel fuckin INVINCIBLE! Seriously, I want to go conquer the world. Thanks for reminding me that if people are going to stare, I should make it worth their while :)

  131. My happy picture is of my niece Isabella and I. She is the love of my life. She has an obsession with shoes and purses, which she had to get from me (my sister is not really into fashion)!! So, I spoil her like crazy.

    This post is AMAZING. It has made me so happy to see everyone’s smiling face. It seems that Ms. Gala has the hottest reader-base around!!
