Working days

Another working week is starting and it's only going to get more stressful as the holidays arrive (Pesah). Everyone who works in retail dreads holidays because these are the busiest, craziest most surreal days, where the stores become one big mess full of people who waited for the last second, only to settle for what's left from those who were smart enough to buy things in advance... I have sort of a dual attitude towards this phenomenon. On one side, I hate it for I don't really have holidays because of that and once I get home, I'm soooo tired that family gathering and festive celebrations are the last thing on my mind.
On other hand it's really satisfying to know that you got through this, folded all the store back to the shelves (because by the end of the shift there are no clothes left, they are scattered all around in big piles) and even better if you did well with numbers too...everything becomes peaceful and organized again....
Well, I only hope that this will be my last year working from the inside of the store, and my next job will involve some more buying (or assisting: I know that I will have to work hard) as a fashion buyer for the stores.

This is one of these rare days when I wear jeans...really casual but quite comfy...My friend is a make up artist and she has some big project coming soon so she asked me to be her model for the project, and this was the first try....what do you say? My eyebrows are in really bad state and need some fixing....

I'm just loving he weather right now...It allows me to wear just the right amount of layers, all my favorite shoes and be creative with my clothes...but...I got back to my old job (I have to save up for Milano) and that means wearing only one brand to work...
Although it seems that I only wear my Mango boots lately, I really don't...somehow I always get photographed wearing them...
anyway, this is what I wore yesterday....as usual my dog just had to get into the frame :)

Really sorry

I have to say that I neglected the blog and the website completley...But hopefully this week it's about to change.
New stuff will be on the website by tomorow and I hope to make some outfit posts for the blog...
This weekend the weather was soooo warm and nice, and it was great since my uncle came to visit us all the way from cold cold Syberia...and brought me this pretty gift: an evening handbag by Escada...really cute and makes me think of summer :)

Topshop...

I'm not the kind of girl who gets buyer's remorse often, I usually very happy and satisfied with what I bought.
But I think that my new "do I really need this" policy of buying is getting to me, because I bought a great pair of shoes and I'm unsure about them...
These beautiful babies are high...really high....and they're great "go out" shoes. I'm just afraid I won't get to wear them often because they're a bit too dressy for me...
Which leads me to the dillema: should I keep them or should I pick another pair instead? I tried the brown ones with the buckle but they didn't have my size...What do you think?

The shoes I bought are the black/offwhite with the snake trim

Nothing special

It was pouring here today...pretty insane, considering that 2 days ago it was sunny and warm...

I'm really behind on Milan fashion week (although as everyone else I loved Jil Sander, Raf Simons is really talented), that's because I spent the week looking for apartments there...I know it's way too early to even think about it but I love real-estate and looking at houses and apartments...There's this great website where you get to see the actual street from all the angles (and I thank google earth for that) so it's like having a virtual trip in the city...I wonder what are the best neighborhoods to live in (I really want to find something nice, but let's face it, I'm a student...so I'll have to compromise :) )
If by any chance you're familiar with Milan , I would love to get some tips, like where to live, to go out, eat etc...

I don't really have any interesting outfit pictures, maybe because I haven't been out of the house for the most week, so I didn't dress up that much...but I do have some fotos a friend of ours took (thank you Eli) when we went out...I think he's really talented...
Outfit posts will come once the weather will get better and my boyfriend will agree to take pictures:)

Have a wonderful week :)

Pink craze...

Since my main obsession for this summer right now is pink (well, actually blush but never mind), I decided to search my closet for some forgotten pieces that will fit into my pink mood...
And of course I found some. I do have one blush blouse I found in Zara last summer and a skirt I received from my boyfriend's sister, but I'm still dreaming of that Zara dress...and the shoes...
To comfort me I found some clothes that go with my pink mood...until I get my wishes :)

The skirt is made from my mother's old dress. I absolutely love the print on this and will keep it forever...The dress is one of the few she took with her to Israel. It is such a shame my mother left all of her clothes when we came here. I remember her 70's chiffon dresses, her wedding gown, beautiful skirts and shoes to die for, all of which went to the dumpster because we were restricted in weight...

Pretty flowers in the exact same color I love so much...

This picture was taken last summer, the first time I wore the skirt...Didn't have anyone around so I took the pic myself...and it's horrible:)

Good news

Well, I received an answer from Marangoni and I'm in!!! I hope this will be a wonderful experience for me and my boyfriend....:)

Today I'm wearing my uniform. Even if you have a closet full with great clothes, there are always a couple of outfits that you lean on and wear to death...

This is the case with this outfit: Zara dress, Castro cardigan, vintage Celine jacket and Mango boots. I don't remember where I got this scarf, I think it was Honigman...
On these days when I feel like I have nothing to wear (riiiight) I wear these clothes.

I went to Zara today and saw all the beautiful clothes "live" ...there were some disappointments but also some great finds. I fell in love with this pink dress from their "Studio" line...It's the prettiest light pink that can be worn in so many ways...I still left it at the store because it had a stain on it and there wasn't another one in my size...well maybe next time...
