December, really?

It’s funny how I’ve been waiting for this month to start for quite a while now and now that it has, I’m pretty shocked that this year is coming to its end.
Big changes are coming my way and it’s way too soon to write about them here, but I can only say that I can’t wait for 2013 to finally start. I couldn’t be more ready for it.
This week has been quite eventful with collections previews, meetings, dinners with friends and, yeah, work. I started feeling my traveling need biting me a little bit too. Although I miss my friends in NY very much, and the city of course, I really want to go to Paris. I feel like I haven’t been there for too long, since March I think? I really miss it.
Here is the passing week in photos. You can find more in my Instagram at @HillaO.

 

I grabbed a couple of Noritamy rings and pilled them up on one finger. Here is the gorgeous result, I can’t have enough of those. You can check their amazing designs here at Nortiamy website:

This one was taken at one of my favorite places to eat in Tel Aviv, Hotel Montifiore. I think I eat there about 3-4 times a week now, I love it! These are a couple of deserts we shared, it was amazing!

And yeah I was so happy when Grace Coddington’s new memoir came in with a messenger at my place, I’ve been so curious to read it since I read about it. It’s here and it’s much thicker than I thought it would be:

What can I say, elevators can be boring. My accountant’s office is on the 34th floor, I had to goof around while I was on my way up:

I went to Maya Negri’s collection preview this week at the new boutique hotel in TLV, Brown Hotel. The lobby is beautiful, I loved the huge bookshelf, it’s amazing. Here’s me with Maya and her winter collection’s face-of.

One of the best things that happened to me was this – lunch with a very good friend, Shelly Gross. I’ve said it here before but I am never too lazy to say it again – besides countless great virtues Shelly has, she also writes the best fashion blog (written in Hebrew) in Israel. Hands down. It’s my favorite. If you read Hebrew, check it out here. Our time together is priceless and means so much to me. She is the best!

She took this photo of me at the restaurant. I regramed from her Instagram straight into mine, I loved it :)

Anna Wintour on CBS News

Anna Wintour tends to say very little when she speaks to the public. It is very clear that she chooses her words very carefully and accurately, and there is simply no way to misinterperate her words. Never. I admire people who are so articulate when speaking. I wish I could be like that. My way is to write, that’s for sure.

Watch her talk to CBS News. Her work methods might be surprising to you:

It’s no secret by now, I’m addicted to everything nowmanifest.com has to feed me with from its very beginning. If you happen, by a naive mistake and nothing worse, missed the first issue of Industrie Magazine, I’ll make your lives easier, but just this once! Watch this and get addicted together with me:

Karl Lagerfeld talks about his Macy’s Collaboration

Just to listen to him talk. What a man! and to watch him draw, walk and just… to watch him.

My day in fashion – pics

While waiting for my cab to pick me up to a fashion preview, I took these:

The beautiful tree below my window

 

The window of my favorite vintage gallery:

Gallerie Parisienne window

 

The sidewalk. A typical Tel Avivian sidewalk:

At the fashion preview, I couldn’t help myself and took some feet pictures, mostly of the shoes my colleagues were wearing, and of the beautiful poster on the wall, and my favorite sweater from that collection, by Yossi Katzav:

feet and shoes. 1

And last, the sweater, hanged on a hanger on the side, just like that:

Sculptures in Sepia

I take my camera everywhere I go, no matter what. That’s why I chose a really good mini digital camera that can fit my smallest clutch bag :-) You can never know when you will see a moment or a frame worth capturing. I try not to miss those moments. When I’m too lazy, I just use the camera on my iPhone. Sometimes it’s good enough.

I saw these beautiful sculptures at an opening of a very big fashion store in Tel-Aviv. Needless to say, I couldn’t think about the clothes after I saw them. They are full of humor, life and naive all together.

Chanel Tear Drops

Freja Beha Erichsen on the new Chanel behind the scenes fall campaign -

What a great creative idea! I wouldn’t mind crying Chanel tear drops any time… And seriously, I can’t wait to see this campaign. Something tells me that it’s going to be no less than beautiful.
