catching up with fashion

I’ve been saving a few pictures from the latest runways for a few days now, and just now finished deciding which I like best.  It’s clear – I’m in love with gucci’s pants, in all the colors available, just because I think they have a great shape and great colors for the upcoming season. Check them out here and you’ll know what I’m talking about:

In beige - 

gucci-beige-pants

In black, just perfect - 

gucci-black-pants

I’d have them even in tourquise, though I have nothing in my very black closet in this color. These are just perfect! - 

gucci-tourquise-pants

 

and that’s about it for me with lively colored clothes :-) back to black it is: 

One word. 

Chanel.

I’d believe it if I was told Karl was thinking just about me when he was making these - 

A classic:

chanel-black-dress

Perfect sweater:

chanel-black-sweater

 

And THE dress, made by Gucci, which practically has my name all over it:

gucci-black-dress

I’d also settle for this one with no regrets whatsoever:

Gucci dress - 

gucci-black-dress-2

 

I know it might get cold again. It’s not really summer yet for all those thin, short and silky fabrics. So just in case, I wouldn’t mind being covered with this one , made by Viktor & Rolf . Though I promise not to put on a dead face while wearing it, like this model did. How could she? It is such a beautiful piece :-) -

There. I’m all dressed up and happy.

I wish!

One morning with no internet connection – this is what happened to me

19 Mar 2009

2 Comments

1. Cursing.
2. Calling my internet provider.
3. Cursing not out loud while talking to them.
4. Not understanding how am I supposed to stay calm when they tell me that they’re having electricity problems and don’t know when it will be fixed.
5. Hanging up, now cursing.
6. Getting up from the chair, sighing.
7. Ok. It’s food time, though I’m not even hungry.
8. Eating, feeding the dog too.
9. Washing the dishes.
10. Cursing.
11. Doing the laundry.
12. Now I’m even folding yesterday’s laundry.
13. Definitely cursing.
14. Taking a shower, a really long one.
15. Getting out of the shower, checking my connection – still off.
16. Cursing.
17. Starting to file all my bills, letters, etc. I really hate it.
18. Cursing.
19. It’s still off! I think I’m gonna sue them.
20. Is taking a nap now too much? I can’t work anyways, all my files and folders are saved online!
21. Too nervous for a nap, reading a book.
22. Cursing. It’s still off.

Resolutions:
1. I’m addicted to the internet (duh).
2. I have no life without it.
3. I’m having trouble breathing when it’s off.
4. I hate using my cell phone to go online.
5. I need rehab (maybe in 50 years I can really go through with this one).
6. There’s really no use in cleaning my bathroom so thoroughly a day after my maid was here.
7. I curse way too much. Need to wash my mouth with soap.

rethinking justice and my role in this world

14 Mar 2009

One of the main reasons why I didn’t go to law school is, that I don’t really believe that law has to do with justice. I much prefer justice over law.

This is one of the main reasons why the  history of the Jewish Claims Conference (JCC) has been on my mind for quite some time now. The story begins long back at the early fifties; it was time to think how and if at all it is possible to compensate the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. To make a long story short, the money came from Germany to this brand new organization, which based its headquarters in NYC, Germany and Israel, of course.

It was doubtlessly difficult to decide who gets what, and how much of it. Rules, laws, definitions and many more decision were made accordingly, and the money was there to be given.

That’s the theory part of it.

In reality, the money is anywhere but where it’s supposed to be. In reality, the Jewish survivals are dying of poor, cold and hunger. Those who got “lucky” enough and didn’t come to Israel after the Holocaust are doing a little better.

and I truly wonder why. As part of my very premature research and growing interest in the subject, I wrote this (in Hebrew): http://cafe.themarker.com/view.php?t=481556 and plan to add more links with upcoming news regarding the process right here. when the time comes, and I’ll be done with my current research, I plan to start working on this one much more seriously.

It’s so much fun, to be purely happy for someone else, fore their happiness has nothing to do with my own, and still.

One of my all times best friends is getting married tomorrow night. I’m so happy for her. Honestly. She met this really great guy, who adores her like she deserves to be adored, and they’re going to have their own new family starting tomorrow.

You can call me old fashioned as much as you like, I just think it’s wonderful. Everyone today are so petrified of getting married an “settling down” and I really can’t see why. How come it’s not obvious that if I have the man I love most and know I want to spend the rest of my life with, then I shouldn’t be afraid to marry him? what’s wrong with being married?

I know all about divorce rates of today. Dam, I already know divorced couples that are my age. It can happen to everyone at any time.  I still don’t think of it as a good enough reason for not even trying. That looks just dumb to me.

So there she is, my best friend, getting married. The one who always hated them all, said that she would never commit, bla-bla-bla… if it happened to her, and even I changed my mind about this whole thing too, then it’s true. It can really happen to anyone. Honestly.

Happy
