Tone it down...

There's no other reason to explain my lack of blogging rather than pure laziness. I just didn't feel like blogging lately, have no idea why...But I had a free day and decided it's time to blog. Of course, in the middle of the day there was no one to take pictures, so timer pics again...

Today just doesn't feel like my day. Nothing I can put my finger on, but everything is a bit off, so are the pictures so I apologize.

With all the color craze, that I'm taking an active part in, I suddenly craved for some pastels...And not the typical pink on white/pale green that is appropriate for spring. something more subtle and dark. This image of Julia Frakes is one of my favorite street style pictures, just because the colors are pretty amazing. So here's my take on these colors...

The skirt was designed by my talented friend Karen,

 the top I don't remember from where and the shoes are Sergio Rossi

On other hand I dug out this picture from The Sartorialist and can't stop looking, so elegant, just the essence of spring!

Kisses!

Neutral...

What a busy week I had! No time for gym or blog or even sleep...

The tasks are getting more serious and hard, and only 5 weeks left until the end of the year.

Many parties and apperetivos ahead and I'm going to savor all the time I have here. Meanwhile, some interesting plans came up concerning the next step, hopefully they will come through...

This outfit is perfect for spring, combining pastel colors with my new nude blouse that I found last month at the vintage fair for 10 euros. During the daytime it will probably be flats as those shoes are kind of impossible to wear for the whole day (but I still love them!). I still need to tan, which is kind of impossible with the weather right now and I'm not really into tanning salons (maybe a fake tan cream, it is healthier?)

Finally I have some spring oriented outfits pulled together, many channeling the more minimalistic look, mostly inspired by Stella McCartney/Celine/Chloe. I am still on the fence about the clogs but I definitely plan to purchase some floaty dresses...

Yesterday was a crazy day in Milan, a yacht exhibition in Naviglio and a truck parties/parade which passed through the entire city, leaving the streets looking as if they were a war zone. So the whole day was spent following the trucks, looking at the yachts and eating!

Shirt and skirt: Vintage

Necklace: Castro (old)

shoes: Sergio Rossi

Floral thoughts

Oh man, it's really hard to concentrate on clothing these days...I'm receiving so many news, things keep changing and generally it's a little bit of loaded period for me...

This is why it was important for me to lighten things up with this easy breezy floral skirt (it's not its' first appearance here but I love it sooo much!) and a light top... I know all the fashion media (including us bloggers) keep talking about spring trends, but when it comes to flowers, there's nothing new: this skirt was made from my mom's dress (there was no way to alter it to a different dress), and she bought it in the early 90's...

First I decided to play dress up and add this pretty hat that was a bargain at Zara for 25 shekels...it doesn't go out much as you can guess, so I decided to feature it here...
But without a hat it is a perfect summer outfit that I'm sure I will live in...

Well, I'm off to enjoy a quiet day, before the beginning of the week full of stuff to do and people to meet and of course work work work...:)

Kisses!

Zara

Zara's website was updated not so long ago and I was ecstatic...The colors, the shapes, the SHOES!!!
I have to admit I wasn't that exited when I visited the store a couple of days ago but the website makes me want to pop to the store every day to see if something new has arrived!
I just love the shoes: the yellow and purple shoes that have the most amazing shape....the nude shoes with laces in the front, the black pair with the ankle bracelet...I have to have all of them!
And also the color palette of the clothes: the peaches and the nudes are amazing and also the color clashes of blues pinks reds etc... I'm planning to get the peach jacket, or even the peach suit (if it will make its' way to Israel), the purple bubble skirt...the peach/nude dress I guess I am that easy...:)
