Leaving to Firenze!

Hey all!

I had the honor to be invited to the 10th anniversary celebrations of Luisaviaroma online. I'm leaving today to Firenze, very excited about the events and meeting other bloggers who I follow and read every day!

I will be updating the website and the blog, starting from tomorrow so stay tuned!!!

End of school

I didn't post anything for what feels like ages!

The last month of school was very hectic, with many projects and worries and chores, leaving very little time for everything else. Countless presentations, some of them very important with outside companies, so the pressure was high.

Yesterday was the last day, all the projects are done and basically I have about a month to enjoy Italy and Milan and lots of spare time. I plan to wander around the streets, taking lots of pictures and visit all the places I liked once again as well as those I didn't get a chance to visit yet. I also plan a short trip to Firenze and maybe lake Como, so this month is going to be very exciting!

During the eight months I spent here, I really fell in love with Milan. I know that it is not the most beautiful city in Italy but Milan is full of hidden surprises. In order to fully explore the city you need at least two years, and even then there is so much more to discover. All the exciting things are not floating on the surface, this is why it might be hard to enjoy the city in the most obvious way, but I feel like I got a small glimpse of what it has to offer.

So since I don't have a proper outfit pictures, Im posting some of the pictures from the last week of school, the presentations and my wonderful classmates.

Have a great weekend and week!

Kisses!!!

Same jacket, different day...

Keeping with the light colors, i wanted to create a strange combination, still in a very subtile and gentle way...So pink and orange were the prefect candidates for this mission.

I chose a longer basic skirt to complement pink and orange and added a basic wooden pump I found at Zara on sale ages ago. Besides the Chloe top, everything else, is actually Zara, from previous seasons.

I suspect this outfit not everyone's cup of tea, but part of the blog and it's purpose for me is to hold these kind of experimentations in order to see if an outfit works or not. Maybe I will rework it with a different, and in summer, the jacket will have to go, but the main thing: the color combination is something that I will definitely want to keep wearing.

Meanwhile Milan is coming out of a rainy period, with more sun but also wind...I really wish it was a bit warmer, because I am tired of covering and wearing everything with tights. I don't really like ow colorful tights look on me and always stick to the basic black so it's becoming quite a task to wear lighter clothes, because black tights immediately ruin the lightness and airiness of the look.

Besides, as I mentioned on my website, it is sample sales period, which can be quite hard, as by the end of this period (of studying and not working) I can't enjoy those sales, and they are really worthy. But I keep reminding myself that there will be other sales, every season, so it is not a lost cause :)

Have a great day! Kisses!

Do you know where you're going to...

Instead of sunny May, all we got for last couple of weeks were rainy days and grey skies in Milan.

But I am sure that my last month here will be sunny and bright, full with great times and friends.

So I am keeping up with the bright tones, feeling a bit tired of all the dark colors that I embraced this winter...The skirt is an old purchase, from Zara, and although I love it so much for the textures and the layers, I rarely wear it. Maybe because I feel it is too dressy but I guess in Milan I might feel different.

Short on time today, we're throwing a party at our place today, so must prepare everything for the feast (our friends will cook!) :)

Have a great week!

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

Saturday...

A very lazy Saturday, strolled around the neighbourhood, found out that a local market is much closer than I thought (designer shoes for 150 euro is 15 minutes away!), bought pineapple for 1 euro, basil plant and tulips...
No special outfit, just what I wore today :) Now when my photographer is back (finally!), I will have more opportunities to take pictures.
Tomorrow, the vintage market and hopefully lots of new pictures...and many updates on my website real soon :)

Everything I'm wearing is Zara, shoes Steve Madden (all previous seasons)

Have a great week!!!

Home sweet home

My short but sweet visit home is over. I am back to Milan, feeling refreshed and reinforced and ready to face the upcoming tests!

Going home after 6 months was a strange but good experience, filled with mom's food, friends and family, and just hanging out spending time with each other. Of course I didn't want to leave!

I had time to take pictures for the blog and to browse through the summer wardrobe. Fortunately the weather was on my side and I enjoyed warm days and didn't even need a jacket!





Now I am back in Milan, ready for the summer with stacks of dresses, skirts, sandals that I brought instead of the winter clothes...

I feel like I am going to be hooked on beiges, browns neutral colors and earth tones this summer
( like everybody else) because I had a black overdose this winter. I also feel like this summer I really want to embrace long floaty skirts, just because they are so comfortable and easy to wear...just like this one!

This outfit was everything I wanted to wear during my holiday, the colors, the shapes and the wedges felt very easy and uncompromising. The skirt and the top are from Zara previous seasons. The beading on the top is unraveling but I kind of prefer it that way, not perfect :)

The wedges were bought about 5 years ago, and feel right again. Unfortunately I had to leave them in Israel, as I had too little space in my suitcase...

Hope everyone had great holidays!

Kisses!
