LookBook.nu post – Kissed by the Sun

My first post to LookBook.nu :)

Fashion events are piling up!

Here’s my list of events, that changes and grows bigger as I blog here…

I start tomorrow morning with sunglasses presentation of all the big designers for the summer collections for 2010. I hope to find something nice for myself there too, but only if it looks better than my black Chanel’s.

I will take pictures there for sure to post here afterwards.

Tomorrow night is the big Castro launch of their limited Alice In Wonderland collection, so they are throwing a closed party for it. Here’s a beautiful video I got, attached to my invitation, you must see this one, it’s art!

Credit goes to Sunny Side Up Productions and EPW Media. Thanks to my friend Michal Ronel from http://epw-media.com/ for sharing it with me :-)

And then comes Thursday night – and the big private premiere of The September Issue, it’s about time it’ll come to Israel :-) So there’s a big event with many celebrities, models, designers and press. Here’s a trailer for all of you who have already seen this movie or haven’t yet:

And here’s the post I wrote quite a while ago after watching the movie in New York – here.

I also got the most perfect Valentine’s Day present from my boyfriend – a web camera I can take videos with and upload them directly to YouTube, so I’m going to take videos of everything from now on :-) Most importantly – this camera fits all of my clutch bags, so no excuses…

Stay tuned,

Lee Cooper Spring/Summer fashion show

This time I got great pictures and videos, taken from the front row. It was a great, fun show, well put together and very well organized.

All the videos bellow are mine, and the first 18 pictures are mine. All the rest, and it’ll be very easy to tell the difference, were sent to me by Hila Rahav of Ran Rahav PR agency, and were taken by Sivan Faraj.

I would love to read your comments on this show, so feel free to share them here :-)

[20/02 - updating - I forgot to upload the Finale! sorry, here it is:]

and now – to the last one ! I hope you liked it all.

Habits of Happiness

Matthieu Ricard actually lives on the Himalayas and shows us very easily our every day habits in which we treat happiness as it visits us, sometimes even on a daily basis, without us noticing it. Watch this talk by the person who is called “the happiest person in the world” here, a following smile is guaranteed :-)

Question to readers: I need your advice

I just found out that all my bags are black or gray. Do you think I MUST get a brown one?

Really?

Please help.

A very special dinner made by Eran Elhalal

DSCF0245

As we were visiting a friend who lives in NYC a couple of weeks ago, we were oh so lucky to be invited to dinner at his place. Why lucky? Well, the guy is a pro. Mega league. A star. You name it. Eran Elhalal is a young chef with over 10 years of experience in cooking for the hottest restaurants in Manhattan, and now is about to finally open his own restaurant in NYC. This is why we were so lucky – we were invited to his place for a private gourmet meal.

The first picture above gives you a small hint on how pro this guy is. He actually posts a menu on his fridge and cooks accordingly. The courses are not ready as you sit down, they are being cooked as you eat or rest between the courses, always accompanied with great wine, and, above all, with Eran’s smiley and pure nice personality which makes your time spent with him even more delightful.

Eran can talk about food for many many hours. His enthusiasm with whatever concerns food is really inspiring, and only by hearing him speak one can know for sure that he’s already dying to taste his food. He’s a lovely conversation maker (no crappy small talks, I swear) and a wonderful cook.

Here you can see the wonderful Gewurtzmeiner being chilled -

And here’s Eran cooking, so focused and yet very into the conversation -

This is our first course being served. Isn’t it just beautiful? I can personally guarantee – it was as delicious as it looks :-)

Isn’t it beautiful?

Eran also makes the most perfect deserts. Check out this one – it’s baked peaches based on oatmeal with honey and ice cream on top. It was perfect, and completely ruined the “we’re not having deserts” attitude my boyfriend and I were trying to hold on to :-)

So, if you get anywhere near NYC and want to have a lovely dinner for your friends, or even a romantic dinner for two, you should really contact Eran, for being the nicest and for making the best food in the world. You can easily find him on Facebook or check out his blog   http://www.eranelhalal.com.

Eran, we enjoyed hanging out with you and your dinner very much, thank you very much :-)
