Down the rabbit hole...

I have to admit, after putting pictures from Milan on the blog, I wanted to savor the moment
 for as long as I could and not updating and seeing it as the most current thing here
 calmed me down, because I really didn't want to leave...

But things are moving forward and now I'm getting used to my new routine and learning a lot.

And since there is no photographer in sight (the boyfriend is absent and my super
talented Karen is in Milano :)) ) there was no way for me to document my outfits,
even though they were quite interesting for the last week or so...I guess I will have to recreate.

For now I will concentrate on what still takes lot's of my time and it's decorating...
Maybe this blog will soon reincarnate as a design blog?
 (I don't think so but I myself started to follow many many design blogs as a result)

Fresh flowers I buy every week. I started doing this when I was living in Milan.

 Flowers always cheer me up :)

Vintage wallpaper that was given to us by a friend for a door restoration project. 

These were the leftovers that I didn't feel like throwing away.

These pictures (second one is in the image below) came from my grand grand mother. 

I have no idea where she got them from and how old they are, 

but I'm sure glad that I had enough brains not to ruin them when 

I got them at 12 years old. 

The pictures are printed on what looks like silk and they are pretty amazing!

I always felt that Laduree packaging is too good to throw away. 

It is part of my bedroom decoration now :)

The pink chair has a neon friend in shape of this ultra bright orange fabric that is soon to become a skirt and hopefully a small pillow as well...

Vintage doorknobs from the 60's I ordered on Ebay. 

Yet to install them on the doors, but I love them so much!

Some goodies I brought from Milan. 

The bra is just too pretty to keep in the closet :)

The rabbit ring is another cheap and great find at my favorite accessories 

shop in Chinatown, close to where I lived in Milan.

Hope I will soon be able to take some outfit pics...

Have a great week!!!

Lately...

Lately I spend most of my time in our new apartment, rarely go out or dress up. This is mostly because redecorating, refurbishing and the rest of the verbs that describe all the chores that need to be done when you move to your new place, took much more time and effort than expected. And we're so far from being done.

In order to feel cozier in the empty carpet-less and curtain-less apartment I decided to create some focal points that will make me feel like something is coming together finally. One thing that makes me feel like home are my books. I didn't bring everything, the rest of the books will have to wait in my mom's library for their turn :)

For now I'm only concentrating on the living room, but the bedroom and the kitchen will follow next...

The type press letters were found at a flea market in NY. Later I saw someone doing the same thing on Selby.com. I swear I didn't copy!

The Sartorialist was a first book I bought in Milan. 

Pantones from the time I took a course in fashion design. Drawing was my favorite part and I recently re-discovered that I still love doing it. 

And while I love bow ties on models, mine will be purely a decoration at least for now. 

A rocking chair my mom wanted to throw out and I decided to adopt. I love how it's all beaten up...The new copy of Industrie magazine: I recommend it with passion!

Our friend brought us a stack of bamboo canes along with retro lampshades we now have in our kitchen and living room. Still deciding what to do with them.

Not a big fan of glass bowls, so this very heavy frying pan has a new use :)

My snugly from NY: is the warmest and softest thing ever. Stripes are quite a motive in this room.

Some school books and albums I enjoy revisiting from time to time...

I hope outfit post will follow soon. Now that I changed a city inside Israel I wonder how it will affect the pictures...

For now, have a great rest of the week and kisses!!!
