A trench coat with a social network, made by Burberry

16 Nov 2009

2 Comments

Yeah, it’s genius! Burberry has just came up with a new social network, dedicated entirely to their immortal and ever best selling trench coat. It’s called “artoftrench“. The site is so beautiful, I even liked the music in the background :-) You can upload your trench coat, buy one  online and much more.

It’s no wonder that this excites me so much. Fashion and social media are great passions of mine, so when they actually meet – I tend to get ecstatic about it :-)

Check out the new Burberry social network here: http://artofthetrench.com/

What do you think?

Now, all there’s left to do is actually get one, a real one, and just be happy about having a real Burberry’s trench coat. Like this one, for example:

Chanel. Coco Chanel. The Woman and the Legend.

Well, it’s no secret that I have a great passion to Chanel. Actually, I love everything about Chanel, from the woman to its latest mascara. In a perfect world, I’d have all of her clothes, shoes, perfumes, sunglasses, cosmetics and makeup. I would never want to wear anything else but Chanel.

I’m more than willing to sign on that if askcoco-chanel-style-3ed to.

Since this world is anything but perfect, I settle for less. Much less, that is. I follow her. I know all of her collections by heart and adore them all. I sometimes use her perfume (Allure is my favorite) and always use her makeup. That’s practically it.

It was only very recently when I found out that there is more than one movie made about her. A few days ago, I finally had the time to watch Coco Avant Chanel. I was actually looking forward to see this one for a long time, as I was interested to know more and more about this fascinating woman.

I was so disappointed.

It took the entire movie to get to the most important point of it – to her success. And then it ended. As my friend Shachar said today, the movie ended exactly when it was supposed to actually begin.

Too bad.

A short weekend is coming up

26 Jun 2009

3 Comments

It’s Friday morning, and I’m at the office. I have to work till noon :-( Can’t wait to go back home, go down to the gym, spend 30 minutes on my treadmill, shower and get some beauty sleep before dinner.

Tomorrow is all about partying – two of my very close friends are having two separate birthday parties, at the same time. One of them involves pool and sun, the other one is all about clubbing. I have no idea what to wear for both events.

I also plan to do so much writing this weekend – I have 3 articles pending and one blog post for http://www.vetrinas.com waiting to be edited. I’m pretty sure I won’t manage to pull everything through but I sure hope that I get to finish at least some of it…

And now for my pending thoughts :-)

I’ve decided to pay a little attention to what people have to say about me lately. Usually, I tend to let people talk and get it over with. Especially at the office. Every day when I walk in, I go through at least 5 people (women, of course) that simply must say something about the way I look. There has to be something about what I wear in general, the way my face look (makeup? that too) and my total look. Every day.

Last night I was sitting with the girls at the end of the day, and they were asking me questions about clothes, fashion and what I do outside of the office in general. For them, it all seems like a lot of work – dressing up every day, putting on a little makeup, and taking care of the way they look instead of pulling the first thing that falls on them when they open their closets and run out the door.

The truth is – it’s really not that hard. I can be ready to go out in less than 30 minutes, shower included. It’s all about knowing your closet and needs. I think about my closet when I shower, so I know what I’m going to wear when I’m done. My closet is very well organized so I know where every thing is, so that’s easy too. I get dressed in 5 minutes, put on some foundation, mascara and some blush, and I’m out. It can’t be That difficult…

And yes, I’m updated with it all. Fashion, trends, blogs, magazines, you name it.  I can’t really say that I imply every thing that I read on the way that I dress and look. I’m in to keeping it simple, clean, classic and… mostly monochromatic. Of course, 90% of my closet is black and full of dresses. It’s who I am, I feel very comfortable in what I always wear, and I think it’s what is best for me. I think it’s the best advise I could give to anybody. Keeping myself updated and deciding what’s best for me gives best composition on my look.

I also keep reading other fashion blogs and it always makes me wonder. I can never see myself go out to a market and buy clothes that cost less than a good dinner. Just can’t. And I’m not even talking about second hand purchases. I’m just not that type of a girl.

The only “cheap” shopping I’m more than willing to do is on this one – http://www.net-a-porter.com/ Their Sale page is sooo fab, I hardly keep myself from adding it all to my imaginary cart! If only I was still naive to think that credit cards are magic cards and has nothing to do with money :-D like the opening line of Confessions of a Shopaholic (don’t go to see that movie, it’s crappy, besides the fashion in it, of course).

I just much rather buy quality and little of it than tons of crap that would never survive my laundry machine…

Concluding with a winner’s summer dress by Sara Brown, sitting at my favorite NYC spot:

Have a great weekend everybody!

Wrapping up Resort 2010 RTW collections and moving on!

24 Jun 2009

0 Comment

It’s boiling hot here. Steamy. Nobody leaves the AC for no reason. It’s all about moving from the ac in the house to the ac in the car and then to the ac at the office/restaurant/cafe or anywhere else. No meetings outside for no reason.

That’s what the summer in Israel is like. And since it’s mid summer here already, I feel like moving on to the Pre-Fall collections. I haven’t seen any yet, but I hope that they are full of nice dresses like this summer is.

In order to wrap this summer up, I just wanted to take a last look on two of my favorites, Balenciaga and BottegaVeneta ‘s Resort Collections RTW for 2010. I can’t stop loving these two, especially because I think that their designs are endless and has very little to do with trends. The best part about them is that you can wear their designs anywhere, any hour of the day, and every year, again and again. They’re classic, flattering, forever comfortable and beautiful. Just one last sneak peak. promise :-)

I’ve missed very little of it. I know them all, I’ve seen them all. Besides all that I have uploaded here already in my previous posts, I just wanna have these (very) few and I’m done.

The first four are from Balenciaga -

1. A short beige classic dress, so nice!

2. Another one in beige from Balenciaga, RTW anywhere -

3. Balenciaga in grey, gorgeous!

4. Last one – Balenciaga’s white top and white skirt. I just love it:

Now moving to my last Bottega Veneta’s picks for this collection:

1. Bottega Veneta’s black balloon dress -

2. Bottega Veneta’s outfit in black and prune:

3. And for the last one – Bottega Veneta’s forever classic outfit – black and white -

I am now officially ready to move on with the seasons and check out all that is new and I haven’t yet seen.

Hope you liked it,

A Ballet for Karl Lagerfeld

14 Jun 2009

0 Comment

I just couldn’t stop watching this one again and again.

What a perfect combination of two of my great loves – classic ballet and Chanel. I have spent 13 years of my life dancing classic ballet and have always admired Chanel. This creation actually brought tears to my eyes! I wouldn’t have found out about it unless I had the Chanel application for iPhone, which is so beautifully designed and so user friendly.

I wish I could embed it to here, but the Chanel website is all about Flash. Oh well, all there’s left for me to do is HIGHLY recommend to you all to enter this link, sit back in your armchairs, volume up, and watch this very moving piece:

Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do :-)

My choices of Summer Collections 2010, Part II

7 Jun 2009

6 Comments

I’m picky and I’m almost monochromatic, I know.

Now, how’s that for trying not to call myself snobbish and boring? :-)

I did go through all of them, one by one, saved more than a few I liked, and then I made up my mind with the top last four to be uploaded here. Surprisingly enough (or so not), the outfits are either black or white or both.

Allow me to start with my pick from Carolina Herrera‘s white dress. The look is so interesting, classy and clean, gotta love it:

carolina-herrera-white-dress

Moving on to Narciso Rodriguez in two versions of the classiest outfit ever – a white top and a black skirt – version I:

narciso-rodriguez-white-top-black-skirt

And here’s another version of his to the same look (I can’t even decide which I like better. I’d wear them both anywhere!):

narciso-rodriguez-white-top-black-skirt2

And the last one I chose as a favorite black and white outfit – a dress by Zac Posen:

zac-posen-black-and-white-dress

I find it all such a big comfort, I get to be stylish and still boring next year as well, this is just great news!

Hope you all liked it,

Summer collections for 2010 are online!

4 Jun 2009

2 Comments

I was planning on writing this one for a week now, but didn’t have time. I guess this post will soon be called “Part I” and there will be a “Part II”, because I haven’t finished going through all of my favorite designers online yet.

Summer 2010 will finally be a classy one. Sleeky fabrics, soft and pleasant colors, and great shades.

Here’s a sneak peek OF what I had to save and upload because I was very excited to find :-)

First comes Bottega Veneta, one of my favorites:

How would you call this gorgeous color? Is that prune?

bottega-veneta-dress-in-prune

Another one of hers – the perfect everyday outfit: Black stunning pants and a beautiful white blouse -

bottega-veneta-white-shirt-and-black-pants

And last item from Bottega Veneta – the perfect summer night dress. In a dark shade, of course -

bottega-veneta-long-black-dress

Now moving to another favorite of mine, forever classic, forever for me:

Donna Karan – summer dress in black and flowers, a very flattering silhouette and a soft and light fabric -

donna-karan-black-and-flowers-dress

And what a surprise – an outfit I fell in love with, even if its color’s nude and not dark. This one’s just beautiful, also by Donna Karan -

donna-karan-dress-in-light-beige

And my last one, just for now, is from a designer I only found out about last summer. This is Elie Tahari, an Israeli (like me!) who is so talented! Check out these classic items of his – a black classy skirt with an interesting white blouse -

elie-tahari-white-shirt-black-skirt

I know, I still have a lot to cover. And I promisse that I will :-) Sooner than expected, for sure.

What do you think of this little peek so far?

xoxoxo,

Hilla
