Oh, it’s a long one.
I started writing as I learned how to. I have always had a personal diary. Ever since I can remember myself. Always.
(The bad part is that I threw them all away)
That was me. The writing girl. When I didn’t have my diary with me, I wrote on everything I could: pieces of paper, school books, school notebooks, post-its, you name it. I used to save all the written pieces and save them till I get home, and then post them to my diary, so I won’t miss a single word.
As I got older, I started writing only when I was sad or having a bad time. Those were the times I wrote most. I sometimes couldn’t stop writing and did it for hours. I used to wake up at nights and hurry to get a piece of paper because some random thought or a sentence crossed my mind while I was asleep and woke me up.
Some people say I don’t talk enough. That I might be too quiet. I guess it’s true. If only they could hear how loud and clear the words are inside my mind, they would probably think differently. I talk to them all, all the time, inside my head. As far as I’m concerned, I’d write them all emails, letters, messages or whatever they’d like as a conversation tool, as long as I don’t have to actually use my voice. I’d much rather write instead.
And then came my thesis, which I made the main theme for it up myself, and it’s mine, and I’m creating it from scratch, and I love it. At the beginning it was surprising and so different. I wasn’t used to write despite my emotions. It’s research, it’s based on facts, it’s a big pile of notes, documents, tables, pictures, memoirs, and more that I have been collecting for two years now. I love writing it, yet it has nothing to do with my writing-out-of-emotions kind of writing.
Writing is endless. It’s another world, parallel to this one, and only those who write can grasp its wonder. I’m so happy I can understand the value of writing. I do feel privileged.
After all this came this brand new year with its world shaking changes. One of them was trying to write about favorite topics. As a career. So this is basically what I do here – I write here about anything I want.
So now I basically write in four different favorite places:
1. My thesis;
2. http://blog.vetrinas.com/ – My blog about http://www.vetrinas.com, which is such a lovely website that I love (oh, and work for );
3. http://www.bamoda.co.il/ – A fashion designers index in Hebrew I also just started writing for (in Hebrew);
4. And here. My home. Where I can lay my hat on
It took me a little more than 20 years to finally write freely without locking my diary and placing the key back in my key chain. Growing up can be sometimes nice. Writing about it is another topic I try to handle by writing about with

Finally, I have written my first blog post for http://www.vetrinas.com.
It’s right here: http://blog.vetrinas.com/
I’m very happy about it and would love to read your comments and see you there too. Oh yeah, it’s what I do And it’s so much fun. Just wanted to let you all know.

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:
Moving on to Narciso Rodriguez in two versions of the classiest outfit ever – a white top and a black skirt – version I:
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!):
And the last one I chose as a favorite black and white outfit – a dress by Zac Posen:
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,

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?
Another one of hers – the perfect everyday outfit: Black stunning pants and a beautiful white blouse -
And last item from Bottega Veneta – the perfect summer night dress. In a dark shade, of course -
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 -
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 -
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 -
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,
