Walking on the Highline...

Visiting Meatpacking district this weekend was definitely a great idea. Although I spent quite a lot of time in the area (and still have a few days ahead), I still cannot get tired walking around this beautiful area.

In the program was a brunch at Pastis (It was great: Oysters, cocktails and Creme Brulee for dessert) and a walk around shops and the Highline : a beautiful park that was built on former rails of freight trains.

Anyone that goes to NY should definitely visit this place: you get a view of the beautiful Meatpacking district and the river and on a clear day a Statue of Liberty from far.

Outfit wise I went for my trusty Celine jacket. I have to admit that I brought here only this jacket and camel coat for a colder weather, which left me with really little choice once it got too cold for blazers.

The basic black skirt is a new purchase from Zara: I needed a replacement for my "Sonia for H&M" skirt that started to look beaten. Shoes are Tosca Blu and were bought at some outlet near my apartment in Milano. Scarf is Yigal Azrouel and already became a fall favorite.

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 :)

Missing Milano

Im pretty sure that it's pretty obvious from my blog and to everyone who knows me, that I miss the great time I had in Milan. The only downfall there was not having my boyfriend around for long periods of time. But other than that I loved it there.

Last year this week I was busy cleaning and scrubbing my little apartment and getting ready for school, I loved this feeling of anticipation and excitement. So as a true Cancer zodiac sign I love reminiscing and I decided to post my favorite images from my time there, and to remember a great year. Kind of like a scrapbook :)

Apartment around this week a year ago after 5 trips to Ikea without a car, on a Metro :)

Marangoni party #1, first outing with the new friends (yet to learn their amazing ability to drink...a lot!!!)

No burgers in Milan, so we improvised McDonalds only better and no buns :)

Such a fun evening, new beginnings for some of us ;)

Christmas in Milan is amazing...too bad I won't see the NY one to compare

Decorating the tree is one of my favorite things in the world! I put Christmas music, pour myself a glass of wine and have pure fun!

First serious snow, I was soooo happy, haven't seen proper snow 15 years before that

View from the window

One of the most beautiful streets in Milan gets even better

I have to thank Zara for this trusty coat: it made my winter!

Spending the New Year away from the city

Friends and family came to us, it was an amazing holiday. We ate so much pizza and yes I had a box to myself :)

We rented this amazing villa and it had a real fireplace!

The villa, so much cheaper than the hotels!

First house party, many will follow

View from the Duomo

House party #2

Vintage fair was one of my favorite things in Milan, I tried not to miss it every last Sunday of the month. 

Spring, we only went to this restaurant because of the amazing bloom it had on the rooftop

The flowers on the ceiling

These ladies made my day, they look like a 50's postcard!

On a mission to find good vintage!

And I'm not alone :)

Buying class, pretending to make an order for "Chloe", and Louboutin, well maybe some day ;)

Firenze, the most picturesque caffe place. 

At the after party during Luisaviaroma's "Firenze Forever" event

The fountain near Castello Sforzesco, passed it everyday on my way to...everywhere :)

One of the best gelaterias :)

On the roof of Corso Como 10, so lovely there

My classmates at Marangoni, I loved her dress that day :)

Celebrating the last day of school :)

2 Days before the departure, at friends' event :)
