Back home...

So I'm back in Israel and while there is a holiday trip coming very soon, the moving is somewhat permanent. I'm not sure that I'm done with living abroad but for now I enjoy my family and friends here.

I have to admit, the heat totally deflated my fashion mojo and I have no idea what the hell I want to wear most of the time even though I'm fully reunited with my closet, except one suitcase still waiting for me to pick it up in Milan. It seems to me this might be the perfect time to start exploring spring trends!

This dress was picked up at H&M around 2 weeks ago. I tend to stay away from trendy pieces because it seems to me they will be everywhere. Still, this dress had this Chloe nude ballerina vibe which I really would love to explore and it's been a while since I was this excited by fast fashion garment.

I plan to wear it with red flats and layer with nude cardigans (I probably should get one then:) )

Outfit post coming soon :)

New and beautiful...

During the recent months I didn't have a lot of opportunities to go on a real shopping spree, even though I lived in fashion capitals of the world. Sometimes things like bills and rent take their toll and being a student also had an effect on my shopping habits. One may say I've been on a shopping diet for the last year.

Fortunately, my closet didn't loose much weight as a result. Somehow clothes found their way to me. Still, I feel like I'm on some sort of "style detox" program where I really learn to filter the one minute trends and introduce classic items in my closet, even when they come from fast fashion stores. I also learn to enjoy and appreciate items that I own, as opposed to chase the next trendy piece. Nothing wrong with that in general, what matters is the proportions of this behavior.

So here are some new items that were introduced to my wardrobe during the last month. Some I bought, most were gifted (not for blogging pr purposes) by employers and friends.

Rick Owens booties I plan to take full advantage of this winter. The relatively low heel means they will be my "go to" pair and will be worn on a daily basis. Hope they can take it. I tend to ruin my shoes when I wear them often. Their price (off season) by the way is similar to some shoes you can find in Zara or Topshop.

Vintage Valentino jacket is a part of a suit I found at some flea market for 20$ (!). The jacket is unfortunately a little big and has shoulder pads but it's an amazing piece. I'm still contemplating wether I should or shouldn't sell it: I'm keeping the skirt and I hate the thought of separating the suit. The label has the most interesting story: Martha boutique was one of the renowned luxury boutiques in New York in the 80's. As I said in one of the previous posts, I like to know where my clothes come from :)

Yigal Azrouel bag that will keep company to my beaten MaxMara and will go with many outfits.

It's huge, which is good (I know it's not trendy to carry oversized bags now but I need big bags!)

Vintage silk dress was a gift and will be perfect for summer or with my vinage Bill Blass camel coat ( I need to show it here soon!!!).

Reworked dress, made of vintage lace and Cardin top. Perfect for layering! I love the lace and the color combination. Also was a gift :)

Yigal Azrouel scarf. This baby is warm!!! Will be perfect with the earth tones that are so popular this winter. Besides, I can share it with my boyfriend :)

And while I might be on shopping diet, I'm indulging on coffee (I had 2 in a row this morning) and pastry. Pain au raisin is a favorite! Unfortunately I ate it before I had a chance to take pictures (the paper bag is soo empty) :)))

Have a great weekend!!!

Lazy Sunday

This Sunday was one of those days when you just want to be lazy without staying home and watching TV.

So we walked up the Madison and later spent a few hours at MET. The fall is here and I can't wait to see the park in it's full yellow and red glory. I love fall...

We're leaving New York in about a month and I am already sure I'm going to miss it so much...although I have new (not fashion related though) things coming up, I'm still uncertain about the future. Still, I learned a lot during my stay here and met some wonderful people who inspired and taught me a lot.

This is the time to make the best of the fall's trends because soon enough the winter will be too harsh to show off the layers and everyone will have only their coats to rely on. It's a good thing it's a staple piece this winter.

Wearing vintage Celine jacket, Zara top, Sonya Rykiel for H&M skirt. Boots are from Rick Owens and the bag is Yigal Azrouel.

Kisses! Have a great week!

Time to work time to play

The weather is shifting towards real fall. I even had a chance to wear some knits!

Unfortunately I don't really have the time to take proper images for the blog so I took advantage of my "work" station and snapped a picture with the mannequin. Sorry for my tired looks, but I figured the purpose is the outfit anyway.

This wonderful and amazing skirt was designed by my friend Karen. I love the silhouette, it's very flattering and goes so well with this season's trends. I feel very fabulous every time I wear it!

The sweater is vintage Ungaro, bought from Etsy for less than 30$. I was very excited when I got this sweater. I'm very much into vintage and I love to discover interesting facts about the items I find. The sweater has an inside label of Gruppo GFT. Everyone who studied history of modern fashion probably knows that this company was one of the major and pioneer mass producers of designer clothing, including Valentino, Armani, Dior, Ungaro and many others. So it is nice knowing where your clothes come from even if they aren't new.

The shoes are my trusty United Nude pumps. All together it was very fall inspired look with a color palette to match.

Hope I'll get to snap some images soon!
