Chanel Fine Jewelry Ad Campaign

This behind-the-scenes video reminds me of how I felt last week, when I was in Paris for just a few hours – I felt like I was in a Chanel ad campaign :-) I was there for 5 hours all together, and couldn’t put my iPhone down, I had to take pictures of everything, everywhere! If you wish to check out my pictures, you can see them on my Instagram (HillaO) or here on my Tumblr.

Have a great weekend everybody!

It was so cold to get out of bed this morning. I guess it’s the only thing I really don’t like about winter. Mornings are just so difficult.

I had to run to Hugo Boss new store opening, early in the am, before a long day at the office. I had no time to wake up slowly so I did everything, running. I’m sure I’ll be shocked to find my apartment a mess tonight when I come back, I just had no time to organize everything neatly, like I always do. Please forgive me, home.

Running down the elevator, I took this one:

 

While waiting for the car to come and take me there, I had a minute to check out these vintage loafers and Valentino scarf in the window of Galerie Parisienne, the vintage store I love and happen to be located in my building.

Good morning Mr. Valentino

Hugo Boss new store in Tel-Aviv reminded me how much I love the one in SoHo in NYC. The atmosphere is always a little dark and clean. It’s very good for me to start my day with. No flashes, not too much light, there’s always nice coffee around, and it was almost an intimate preview. No complaints.

I saw these great men’s loafers. I think they are classic and look so comfortable. I’d recommend them to any guy, from casual wear to a business meeting or dinner. I love them with jeans as much as with a suit. It works!

Of course I went browsing the men section upstairs. The women’s collection is great too, but I love imagining all the men clothes I can personally find my feminine way to wear.

And before I knew it, I was back in the car. So happy it waited outside for me and not the opposite way around. I’ve been feeling a little under the weather lately and really have to watch out and not to get a flu. It feels like it’s around the corner, waiting to get to me. No!

 

By the way, blogging from the car rock. It’s multi-tasking at its best for me. Thank you WordPress for your iPhone app :-)

Working girl in fashion – my pics

The only way for me to know how I look is to take pictures with my iPhone and … look at them :)
I admit it, I could use a full length mirror, because all I’ve got for now is my scratched elevator glass. Here are a few ones I took recently

Happy New Year | Shana Tova :-)

There’s nothing I’m looking forward to more than going out of the city tomorrow. It’s a long holiday weekend, and I really need to get some air that doesn’t come out of my laptop.

May this year be the breakthrough it seems already to be,

May it be sweet, and tendering,

Loving and easy,

Healthy and inspiring,

Interesting and always surprising.

Living in Fashion

I just took these pics today when I somehow found out that these are the things I do every day! I pack two bags: 1 handbag, 1 laptop bag, go out to my favorite cafe to work, get a big coffee and go over my favorite fashion blogs and websites. Here are a few of my everyday to-do’s.

You can always trust that life in fashion will be beautiful and interesting :-)

a second before I turn 30…

Yeah, I know, it’s been a while since I last wrote here. I’ve been so busy! It seems like it has been like a long and on-going tornado when I think about it.

A second before I turn 30 (this Friday if you’re really wondering), almost everything changed: I left my job at the law firm after 2.8 years, opened my own private business and started working at a part time job from home.

That’s a lot! I hope I didn’t go mad on this tornado. Its felt right, it felt like it was time, and it took me a long time to get there. I’m very happy.

So I work as a Director of Community at an internet company which makes work management software. It’s actually a very cool job: I do their SMO (Social Media Optimization), share their news, articles, blog posts, etc. on social networks and interact with the readers.

On the other part of the day I write for Haaretz about fashion and trends, and freelance for small and medium businesses as a new media consultant. I also write content, edit and translate.

I’m very happy with what I do now, and always trying to get more and better. I just need to learn how to manage my time better and I’m sure I’ll be on the go asap.

As for my fashion writing, I have a great idea that’s been building itself up for a couple of weeks now, and I’m meeting my editor tomorrow morning about it. I really hope she’ll like it, it’ll be great if I get to do it on the paper and here as well.

Tomorrow I’m being “kidnapped” by my boyfriend. He’s taking me somewhere for the weekend, and wouldn’t tell me where as a surprise for my birthday. I have no clue on where we’re going! I hope (and sure) I’ll like it. I wish I knew what to pack… I have so many guesses about the location, and neither is certain. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to wait till tomorrow then :-)

Stay tuned,

xoxo,

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 :-)

Spa-ing for mani&pedi is the new treat

My review on Yullia’s new mini-express spa in TLV, published this morning on Bamoda.co.il, in Hebrew:
