The doubts

We all have our doubts, even when we seem to like the outfit we wear, somehow all the confidence disappears the minute we walk out the door. 

I'm sure this happened to many other girls, and it sure happened to me more then once... And that is what also happened to me with this post... Here's the story: 

Lately the stress of moving to another country got to me: having to handle loads and loads of bureaucracy  that accompanies any long term stay in another country and of course add work, a couple of projects plus a strong will to go out every night (I won't see my friends for at least one year, I have to!) and there you have it: exhaustion and confusion... That is basically why I neglected this blog and I'm kind of confused about this outfit...





I wanted to find the right bottom for my new favorite Zara shirt, and inspired by the Chloe winter color palette I opted for beiges and greens and yellows... Still wanted to keep it summery so these old bermuda shorts came to help  (Basically I'm not a bermuda shorts kind of girl so this one is also weird for me)... some neutral shoes, a Yellow vintage bag  and I was set... But... I needed more layers... In the perfect world I would throw on a cardigan but I decided to settle for this vest...





This outfit, seemed like a perfect idea, but to tell you frankly I'm not sure about it now... I decided to post it for two reasons: first is to hear what you think (in a polite and considering way please:)) ) and second: to show that doubting yourself is part of fashion...We doubt each time we take a garment out of the closet and we deliberate about it... And each time we dress is like a bank canvas: one time you get it right, the next, you get it.





On other note, this week I will finally have some free time for proper posts... And I'm going to see Madonna's show!

 Have a great week everyone!

Sparkle

After a short break that seems like an eternity for the blog world, I'm back with pictures of my new dress...I'm sorry...My new favorite dress...!!!


Photobucket


I bought it from Etsy.com and I just cannot believe my luck! It has every feature I was looking for in a sequined dress and it's one of the kind, because it's vintage and all the sequins are hand stitched !!! You cannot believe the amount of work someone put in this dress...Well now it is in a very appreciative hands!!!

Me and the boyfriend decided that this dress requires a night photo shoot, although I can see how it is possible to make it more "day" appropriate with a grey cardi and a pair of flat boots... Maybe come fall I will show the toned down version of this dress, but right now it makes me feel festive and it sparkles!!!

The shoes are also a new buy from Aldo. I have to say that it's my first pair of heels from this brand and I'm impressed with how comfortable they are!

On a bit different note, I'm building my fall wardrobe right now and I mysteriously find myself returning to one color: black! I want everything and anything in black... Sleek, smart, fitted, that's what I want come fall... Maybe this is the returning student in me talking, but yes I do need some smart clothes for my school... 


Photobucket


I remember when I did my first degree I was considered a bit too fancy looking for my college and I didn't even wear heels or something that I would consider "out there", so I hope this time I will get a chance to go crazy with my outfits!!!

Time is running out and I have this ticking clock inside my head telling me "So much to do, so little time" but somehow this just makes me to slow down and freeze instead of being productive...So I'm racing against the clock!

Dress: Vintage from Etsy.com, shoes: Aldo


Have a great week everyone!!!

I wish it was...

I wish it was winter already!!!


Photobucket

Photobucket


Yes, my mind is wondering to cloudy skies, chilly winds, rain and early dark... I am a fall winter girl even though my winters haven't been that good to me last couple of years... weather wise or anything wise...I hope this next winter will be different!

Photobucket


I guess it is the same for every fashion lover: we crave for winter in the summer and we pray for a sunny day in winter, so we can parade the newest purchases which are of course, inappropriate for the current season...
This year I will get to wear the winter clothes earlier than usual, but I want to wear them now!!! 


Photobucket


The editorials, the new collections in stores got me all excited and it's like that every year! I know many people feel the same...


Photobucket

This outfit portrays two ways you can wear the same garment: one time if it was possible to wear bootie in the Israeli summer and the second is quite weather appropriate...I would love to add a thick knitted cardigan to the first version for the extra layer but it was just impossible to pull off and I would feel totally ridiculous!


Photobucket

On a different note: I just received a great book about fashion merchandising as a gift... although as a fashion buyer it isn't directly my "area" but it is such a fascinating subject...

Tank top+sheer bodysuit: American Apparel, skirt: H&M, shoes: Zara, belt: Castro

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Off to work

Somehow I find myself wearing this outfit over and over again, but never featuring it here...So I decided it's about time...


Photobucket



A simple tunic shirt paired with cotton skirt and my favorite belt. Yes I'm breaking my own summer rules again for fashion's sake!:)))




Photobucket



I'm really trying to get myself into fall/winter mode, because Milan in october is quite cold and I have to be ready to wear some cardigans and jackets in month and a half!!! That sound insane to me now, because I still can't accept the upcoming events - as real thing to come...So my luggage will be full with light dresses and cardigans/jackets until my mom will send me the rest of my stuff when we'll find a place to live. By the way, a shout out to everyone who studied abroad: what is the easiest way to get all my things there? 



Photobucket


And speaking of fall winter...If you didn't see it yet rush over to Zara website!!! they have some great clothes there, I just hope some of them will be in stock when I'll get there...I'm hopeless when it comes to Zara...


Photobucket

P.S. ihave some DIY ideas coming soon!!! I kind of forgot about my crafty side and I'm really excited I have new ideas popping in my head!!! Hope I'll find the time and won't be lazy :)


Photobucket

Have a great evening everyone!!! Happy Tu Be Av (Same as Valentine Day) and lots of love!!!

Kisses!!!
