Some NY

Some bits and pieces from my experience at Yigal Azrouel show. See who is my partner in crime :)

Needless to say, both men's and women's collections were wonderful! We have a lot to look forward to come spring!

I'm wearing Vintage Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Blouse and vest, Tosca Blu shoes and Max Mara handbag. Dana is wearing vintage dress and Michael Kors shoes (aren't they amazing?!!!)

Long Absence

I'm sorry for my long absence from the blog, sometimes it's just so good to disconnect yourself from the virtual life and the social networks and enjoy some quality time with your real life friends and family.






We rented this wonderful villa near the lakes, with old furniture and antique china and silver...This was a great place to just sit together near the fireplace (a first for me) drinking (and lots of it) talking and just relaxing...It also reminded me that although I'm enjoy living in Italy, I do miss my friends and family, so I'm planning to make a short visit in April...

Anyway, my only photographer is back in Israel right now for at least one month, so I don't have any new photos and probably will struggle a bit in the next few weeks as well, but I have these photos which were taken before the holidays and didn't have a chance to post...





Mens' fashion week is just around the corner (I started to spot male models on the streets, you just notice them)and the fashion month is following, so I'm quite excited and hope to take some pictures to compensate the lack of mine...

The cardigan/dress is H&M and the booties are Mango (I since ruined them, the bag Max Mara...

Pretty in Pink

I know it’s too soon to make predictions for spring 2009, but it’s really hard to ignore the sea of pink that flooded the New York’s fashion week runways. Since I'm obsessing over NY fashion week, it's hard not to make such observations. There was every kind of pink there is: fuchsia, blush, coral, bubble gum…You name it, they’ve got it…

My main association with pink, just as for most people is a Barbie doll. Cheesy and cheap color that is appropriate only for the Paris Hiltons of our world. But then you think of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and her pink gorgeous gown…and you understand that in the right hands, pink can be very glamorous and elegant.

I think that most of the designers managed to pull of the “pretty in pink” look this time. Just look at the pink orange combo at Alexander Wang’s show. Also I loved the peony pink dress we saw at Koi Suwannagate. Even Mark Jacobs who showed not so spring- like color palette, found a place for two or three pink garments…Some chose to ignore the “fashion rules” and showed their pink with black, and it turned out great. Charles Nolan chose ladylike pink in satin, and worked it onto pink-orange jacket and skirt. Adam went for very bright fuchsia little dresses that I’m sure will become a favorite for the young Hollywood starlets. Three as Four and DKNY chose coral pink and both made gorgeous draped dresses out of it…Actually, it was really hard to find designers who didn't show pink on their runways, and you can count them with one hand…

The good thing for those of us, who are not entirely sold on this pink hype, is that there is a variety. You may hate fuchsia but you can find yourself falling in love with pale baby pink that look almost white…or a regal coral pink or a cute blush …

I personally love the coral pink and the "make up colors", and hope to find some high street clothes in these colors...Pinks will be great with gray ( see Piksi wearing a great combo here) or beige or I just might go crazy and pair them with some brights as Alexander Wang did... Since I still have a month or two until it gets colder here, I 'm hoping to add some pink to my wardrobe very soon...
