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!

Bright Spots

Lately I had many things which prevented me from blogging: some of them good, some of them bad. But I have to admit that it's not the lack of time, but the lack of will and I hope this faze will eventually pass...



On a good side, Dar was visiting me here, we spent a great weekend, enjoying Milan as much as possible. Let's just say that there is still soooo much for me to learn about the city, and we couldn't find a better guide (and company in general) than my friend Keren. You can read Dar's full review here, but I just have to thank Keren and Dar for such a wonderful weekend, after a very rough week.

Men's fashion week went by unnoticed with the exeption of the "Punks wear Prada" party Keren took us to...mainly because of many tests and projects that I have...I was more occupied by Break Even Point (accounting), silk reeling (textiles) and psychographic profile (marketing). In general lately it's much less about the clothes (which I know well) and much more about the logistics and math (which I unfortunately don't know that well)...

The "Punks wear Prada" party which I've mentioned before had some very interesting and glamorous people and in general had the "fashion crowd" including flamboyant DJ and hosts. And while it was fun to be there for a couple of hours (and maybe revisit it once in a while) I realized that it's not really my "cup of tea". I would rather enjoy a drink in a pub with some closest friends.

One of the things that cheer me up in this gloomy and grey weather is this pink scarf. My grandfather (whom I didn't get to meet) gave it to my mother when she was a young girl. It has holes and my mom doesn't understand why I love it so much...Well, besides the immidiate "wow" effect it brings to any outfit, it is one of a few things that my mom took with her to Israel and has survived the 'big move"...

In this case, I paired it with black and white outfit, adding a pop of color, but the scarf works great with many color combinations, giving a special vibe to any outfit...

So while there is not much sun lateley, there are quite a few bright spots which I am very thankful for :)

Have a great weekend, kisses!!!

Mixing Colors

Although I usually think of myself as a more of a black-white- grey kind of girl, I do love color and like to experiment with it...

Now, when Holidays are approaching (New Year especially) I seek for the brighter, happier colors...so black white and grey will have to rest for a while...
It was a very cold evening and I had three more layers underneath, so the jacket looks a bit off, but I was very cold...

Jacket: Topshop
Boots: Zara
Jeans: Replay
Bag: Zara
Scarf: Grandmother's
