Style Essentials and The Balancing Act

Have I mentioned recently how much I love answering questions? I received this one recently… Here’s a very “hypothetical” question for you. How would you start over if some tragedy befell your wardrobe and you were left with formal gowns, lingerie, an old pair of jeans that stopped looking good at least a year ago […]

Difficult Boys, Dressing Them For Occasions and How To Buy A Suit

Dear Gala, Please help me. I need some fashion advice for my boyfriend PRONTO. My boyfriend and I are going to a flurry of weddings (mostly semi-formal) over the next few months and he has literally NOTHING to wear. He’s a recovered bogan (westie, you probably call them) and wears a uniform of black T-shirts, […]

Have you started photographing your clothing yet? I hope so. (Of course, you don’t have to put any of the pictures online unless you have strong exhibitionistic […]

Some Past Outfits

Yesterday I posted about the benefits of taking daily outfit photos. I’ve been looking through my old ones (they are here if you’re interested), & thought I would sum a few up. Daily Outfit, 1st December 2005. I really liked this outfit when I put it on, & it looks good even in retrospect. I […]

Kissable lips

Kissing is one of my favourite activities. I have spent serious time investigating products & tricks to make it better! Seriously! Other than brushing twice a day, using teeth whitening treatments & flossing, it’s all in the lips. Lipstick? Gloss? Balm? Help! Lip balm is essentially moisturiser for the lips — though the composition is […]

Fashion Help for Recovering Goths

Even though this is my first post here, it is in reponse to a cry for help from a friend in New Zealand. She wrote to encourage me to take the plunge into style blogging, & when I asked what arena she wanted help in, she said:   I guess the first issue would be […]
