Fashion journalists presentation at Banker boutique

Hi!

I haven’t been around lately, I know, and I’m so sorry! I swear it’s all for good reasons though – I come wearing good news only.
After a long time of debating with myself, I’ve decided to do more of what I love best :-) You’re now reading the blog of the new accessories (shoes, bags, jewelry, sunglasses, scarves… you got it by now) journalist of Haaretz! So, besides my regular fashion news column, red carpet events coverage and fashion sales columns, I’m going to write a whole lot more :-)

These wonderful news made me very happy, and I started visiting shops and designers, guided by their PR people, and been trying to get the hang of what’s going on in the fashion world, in all these fun accessories and other things I have never reviewed before.

 

 

I started with Banker (unfortunately their site has been “under construction” for years now), and I loved the interior design of the 2 stories boutique and, on top of all, the shoes and jewelry they import. Here are some of the pics I took there:

Summer shopping on Farfetch.com :-)

Farfetch.com logo

Ach, the joy of discovering a new beautiful fashion e-commerce site that sells my favorite designers and has a gorgeous UI and design is a big pleasure to me :-) Especially when it’s late at night, I’m done working and already in bed with my iPad. That is definitely the best time to catch my attention!

Farfetch.com offers an easy-to-shop experience, designed as a fast moving magazine that keeps you focused and want to explore more and more. It is London based, and offers fashion for sale from all the big yet indie designers, like Isabel Marant, Sylvia Toledano, Marc Jacobs and more.

As a girl, not to girly but still – a girl, my summer addictions that are already starting to wake up now, a little before spring time  – are designer handbags and dresses. I just can’t get enough of those and honestly believe that you can’t have too many summer dresses or handbags. The variety of designer handbags on farfetch.com is enormous, and it’s really hard to choose because they are all so pretty. Now, who can choose between Proenza Schouler, Mulberry, Balenciaga, Givenchy and more? Not me, that’s for sure.

Here are just a few examples:

As for the designers dresses on farfetch.com, I think that it would be so easy to renew my entire summer wardrobe just by clicking and clicking! It’s endless and so pretty. My favorite dresses there are definitely coming from Diane Von Furstenberg, Isabel Marant and Carven, which are always so feminine and compliments every woman’s figure, like these for example:

So on your next online fashion shopping spree, I highly recommend checking out farfetch.com‘s gorgeous range. You’re in for a lot of fun!

Chanel Mademoiselle Campaign – Blake Lively by Karl Lagerfeld

I can really try, but I can’t ignore it or postpone it much longer. Blake Lively is gorgeous, as always, and even more in Chanel. The bags on the new Chanel Mademoiselle collection are amazing. It’s really hard to choose this time. The campaign is super elegant, very luxurious and above all – has the perfect Chanel chic.

Here is the making-of video:

A Stylist and A designer met and a new collaboration is born!

My friend Shachar Rabanne, a well-known stylist here in Tel Aviv, recently told me that he’s working on a new line, collaborating with fashion designer Hagit Fink. He told me this as we were walking into Yossi Katzav’s collection presentation on a very sunny Sunday morning, and he told me that he actually has the first bag they designed together in his bag now. I don’t really need to hear more than these hot keywords: collaboration, handbags. That is really all it takes to get my curiosity on fire. When I asked to see the bag, I just knew it – I love it!

I asked Shachar to be the first to show it online, and got it, gladly. Here it is:

Shachar Rabanne and Hagit Fink's first bag

I like this style a lot. It’s made of real leather, it’s big enough, it’s vintage inspired and it’s just beautiful :) This is definitely a collaboration I’ll be following closely. Good luck Shachar and Hagit!

Gerard Darel in Israel

I was lucky enough to attend the new Gerard Darel boutique in Tel-Aviv last week, and they have a beautiful collection. I usually refer to clothes, but I couldn’t overlook the bags on this collection. As bags, handbags, clutches and you-name-it are a huge love of mine, I’ve picked my favorite items from it so I can post them here, check them out:


They’re basic, classic, and on top of it all – still very chic and useful. I loved it.

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 :-)

New column in a new initiative of Haaretz

Galeria of Haaretz now has a new back page, Monday to Thursday. It’s all about little items, funny and light, with our recommendations – for anything from gadgets to toys, jokes to fashion items. I had the honor to be on the first back page with a recommendation to one of my favorite clutch bags, made by Sumka Bags. Here’s my recommendation, and I already wrote a couple more so there will be more to follow this one:

And this is the one I have – in silver-gray:

Isn’t it all so cool and pretty? I love it all.

I hope you enjoyed it,
