Leaving New York

So my adventure came to an end, I'm back in Israel at least for now readjusting for the weather and the hours. I only now noticed that it gets so dark so early here!!!  I have no plan in particular for my stay here but hopefully things will turn out the best way they can.

Last days in NY were pretty hectic and filled with too much packing, leaving me very little time to meet friends and walk around. Still I did some milage in the last week, which is good because my gym membership expired by then.

Top of the Rock is a great place to take pictures for the last post from New York besides we've never been there even though are very familiar with this building for so many reasons (mine being that Magnolia Bakery is on the corner).  It was the boyfriend's birthday and I decided to surprise him at work with cake and some party goodies, so the hat was obviously a favorite :)

This sweater which is now resting peacefully in the closet for at least one month is a winter staple and is my favorite piece from Yigal Azrouel FW2010 collection, where I did my internship helping with the relaunch of the brand's e-commerce for the last few months and you can see the result here.

I had a great time, met wonderful people and learned some much during my stay in New York.  Hopefully New York and I are not finished yet and I will get a chance to experience living in this amazing city again someday...

Dressing up

Trying to take my own pictures part 2 :) And trying out a new look. I have to be honest this feels a bit of a dress up to me because of the monochromatic color coordination and the length of the skirt. It's more mature and has a vintage 70's vibe to it. Probably these two will not be worn together often and will wait for me to get older :) Still as a fashion statement I feel they are very relevant.

I just adore the color of the skirt and the pattern and it will be worn with something more contemporary and young, maybe even just a black tank top and a loose cardigan. So it might reappear here soon :)

I'm enjoying my last two weeks in New York, the cold weather and the autumn mood, mentally preparing myself for the heat and hoping in will cool off a little bit in November. On the upcoming agenda: looking for an apartment (hopefully in Tel Aviv) and a job...I also have a couple of very exciting projects and ideas in mind but it will take months before something will actually goes into developing.  Hope it all goes well :)






Skirt and top: both vintage

Have a great rest of the week :)

New York!

I was contemplating about this post, because I wanted it to represent the city in the best way possible. And the perfect location was right in front of my nose, or more correctly right above: the rooftop of our building. I first got to enjoy it during the July 4th celebrations, with the amazing view on fireworks, but then it didn't occur to me that the roof is open all the time. So it's just a great place to hang out, or even get a tan.

Life in NY is so much different from life in Milan. In this case there is no better or worse, just different. New York is filled with energy, light, constant movement and Milan is calmer and much more settled, you don't get the feeling of a big city there. And while I do enjoy the city very much, I still miss the quiet streets, the food and my friends there...And Im wondering how my next visit to Milan will happen...

Besides the change Im still trying to adapt to, I'm also trying to adapt to the wardrobe change. What felt like a normal daily outfit in Milan, feels like overdressed in New York and so my wardrobe is going through changes. Third of it by the way is still in Milan, hopefully it will arrive some time in September with my friend Karen :)

The dress in this post is a new purchase. It's from the collaboration line of Uniqlo with Costello Tagliapietra, the design team I highly appreciate. Their work with drapery and jersey and their attitude towards dressing women and production of clothing is really impressing. One of my biggest projects in school were done about this duo and since then I was obsessed to have one of their dresses. Of course the price tag made it kind of impossible, so once I saw the capsule collection at the Uniqlo shop I tried almost every dress on, picking up this one, because it seemed the most versatile.

The shoes are Balenciaga from last year and the necklace came from young and very talented designer/stylist Noey.

Hopefully if everything goes well, from now on the posts should be more frequent as Im reunited with my photographer :)

Have a great week! Kisses!

Ciao Milano!

Two days ago, I packed all my things, left my sweet little apartment near the Sempione park and took a flight from Milan to New York.

I still can't believe that my Marangoni days are over along with my days as a student in Milan. The whole shift happened quite fast and I still have a huge suitcase waiting for me in there (I brought too many clothes there)...I am sure will be missing Milan, the streets, the pizza, the gelato, proscuitto, mozzarella, prosecco ...you get the point :) But mostly I will (and already am) miss my dear friends and the crazy times we had together...

The next couple of months I will be spending in New York, trying to meet some interesting people, enjoying good food and everything else the city has to offer...If you're here, write me, I will be happy to meet :)

The photos are taken last week on my birthday at one of my favorite streets in Milan, via Madonnina, it is right next to the Marc by Marc Jacobs shop and it is picturesque and beautiful...The dress is 10 euro vintage find at the monthly vintage fair and is one of my favorites this summer...

Well that's about it, more updates coming soon...

There he goes again...

My boyfriend is flying to New York this Wednesday...lucky him...And I have no clue what "orders" I should place...I mean, I asked him to bring my favourite perfume- Hanae Mori, because they don't sell it here, but other than that? I know that if I went there, I would know where to go and what to look for, but to send a boy to sample sales, outlets, vintage shops is kind of "mission impossible"...Any suggestions?
