I just want to watch them all, each and every one of them.

To have them, as my own, to be able to pause whenever I want, as many times as I want, back and forth and again, to stare at any outfit I like, and mostly to enjoy. Them all.

Now, a post like this makes me all excited like a 5 yr old at an amusement park: http://www.refinery29.com/the_goods/on_the_eve_of_coco_before_chan.php

The clothes, the pictures from the movie, the whole thing! Coco Avant Chanel is going to be a movie I’m going to watch over and over again, and that’s for sure.

And then I get to see this beautiful trailer from “The September Issue”, based on the famous September 2007 Vogue issue’s making of, and I just can’t get my hands on the September issue of 2009 (coming up so soon! )which is based on the making of that famous 2007 issue. Oh, just watch the trailer here:

And, at last, there’s the movie about Valentino! I don’t know why, but maybe it’s because I’m in Toronto now and it’s cold here, but these three movies coming up make me happy for the new season coming up. I just want to get all covered up in my sofa and watch them already. One by one. and then again :-)

Quickly adding OriOren (Hebrew)’s review of The September Issue, which makes me wanna run and see it! I’m definitely going to go this week, so stay tuned! http://orioren.com/blog/?p=2054

Going to pack now, flight to NYC leaves in 3 hours :-)

Yeah, it’s the middle of August already, and summer vacation’s about to end. Kinda sad, bu hey, there’s a bright side for anything: It means that the seasons are just about to change, and that the new Fall and Winter collections are already in stores. If you’re going back to school soon enough, it’s probably time to update your school wardrobe. Check out my new article at http://www.bamoda.co.il/fashion/Articles.aspx?id=706 (in Hebrew) and find out exactly what you need just for that :-)

who says work can’t be fun?

These last couple of weeks have been intense. I’ve met so many new people and have been having so many new ideas! If there wasn’t for me and my Moleskine journal (which I love so much and will die without), I’d probably lose track of all the insights this week has given me.

For once, I’ve been brainstorming a lot with myself and with my friends. Brainstorming is the most efficient way for me to get creative – by talking about it with people who can enrich me and nurture my ideas. It’s actually very easy to do, much easier than I have thought. All you need to do it tell someone you love and trust about your general idea and start a conversation about it. It doesn’t have to be a firm idea, it can be at a very premature stage. While talking about it, the idea will grow by itself and its execution will become easier and easier.

So I’ve been brainstorming with my friend Orit, which is doing Vetrinas.com with me. We started thinking about iPhone applications. It’s endless, and we are having so much fun bringing up ideas, imagining what it’ll look like and who would use it. The ideas are running out of us together so it’s really exciting and we can’t wait to make it happen.

Secondly, I’m officially in love with my new friend Romi Mikulinsky, who stormed in to my life and heart in a second – it’s unbelievable how much we have in common and the similarity of our ambitions and dreams for the future. We decided that we should start working together very quickly, and we’re now doing exactly what we love doing with pleasure as work – writing and marketing by using social media, and we even got a job in fashion, which is lately my favorite madness, so I just couldn’t be happier about it. Working  with a good friend on a fun job is the best I could dream of, really :-)

Thirdly, I’ve started to help my designer friend Aviva Zilberman brand herself on the web, where she had no presence up until now. All this might change one day, but for now combining fashion with web as a job is pure fun for me.

So today is the first day of my life (how dramatic, ha?) that I start working in doing things that I love. Isn’t it great?

turning point

Almost 30. What a strange thing of me to say. Or write. Or even think of. Hey, but it’s true. I can’t help it and look back at the last 10 years of my life. If only I had known what a crucial part they have in shaping my identity, personality, health, education, love, and everything else actually, everything else that really matters, that is.

I spent 7 years at the university. That’s a long time. I know for sure that those years are not over. My time at the world of academy (yes, it’s a different and a separate world from the one we know, it’s on a different planet and even the air is kind of thicker there than here) is not done, and one day I will go straight back. In a lot of ways, it’s where I came from, and in many ways, it’s where I feel at home. I guess I will always feel like I’m growing up there.

The many years of studying gave me skills to  stand where I am standing today – at a turning point, with no directions or signs. I am almost choosing, I almost know what I want. I know for sure that I have learned a lot. I have learned the study of people – I know what they’re like, I know how to be one of them all when I need to, and I also know how to learn from them. Therefore, I have learned to recognize a true intellectual and to admire wisdom, to look up to people who know more about me and to share the joy of knowledge at the right surrounding, and most importantly in my opinion is to research into the depths of my curiosity, and then to write about it.

I owe the academy many of my shapes and angles,  of my opinions and thoughts, ideas and goals.

I do.

And I will forever be thankful for all that.

I hope that now, at the crossroad of Growing-Up street with Deciding What I Want To Do street, I will find my way easy, remembering all that I have learned, facing all that I can’t wait to learn, and step forward unhesitatingly towards that oh so scary place called ‘my future’. :-)
