Thursday to Thusday: my week

 

 

It’s been a really intense week, but also very exciting. We are finally starting to work on the next fashion conference here in Israel, which will be the second, and there is so much to so and plan! I can only tell you this for now – it’s going to be so amazing! We set down to work on the schedule this week. I was early at the producer’s office:

The meeting went really well, and after stressing out over the list of things we need to do, I started to get really excited too. I hopped on another cab and rushed to the office, not before I got some coffee.

As you can see, I’ve been really tired lately. My face can’t lie! It’s all there. The day after ended with a really cool event I will write about a bit later, presenting spring/summer 2012 makeup trends by MAC Cosmetics. When it ended, I was waiting for the car to come and take me home, and I saw these great sandals. I think they are Louboutins but not sure.

It was really hard to take good photos at the makeup event, as I was sitting in the back (being late has its price. always!) and the screens are not very photogenic. But I did love the colors and shades, and the hair! Oh my it was a neon party all around.

I was home by 10pm. Really long day! The morning after started even earlier, with a press preview for Mango spring/summer 2012, which I blogged about here. It was really nice, actually. I will always have love towards Mango, I basically grew up inside their sweaters in the 90s. I got this straw bag from the new collection:

My Saturday was the most perfect day ever. I went outside of the city, all the way in the nature with friends. It was a gorgeous sunny day. We had a nice fire outside, great food and lots of laughs. I even found a local dog to play with, she was so friendly and spoiled, a true hugger.

Two more days of work and off to the weekend. This is me in the car on the way to the office.

Top is by Zara, sunglasses are Botega Venetta, lipgloss is Chanel.

After a long day at the office, I was heading to see Manaolo Blahnik’s new collection at 7:30pm. It was beautiful! Very colorful, fun and very feminine. No brutal wedges, just gentle stilettos. Beautiful.

And that was  wrap! Grabbed another green tea on my way back home and went through my Flipboard while stuck in traffic. I found an amazing shot of Patti Smith, I just had to have it:

And… that’s a wrap, all ready to start the weekend! I was so exhausted by the last day of the work week, I just had to wear something super cosy and warm. I chose Maya Negri’s coat-dress in light Beige. It’s made of the softest fabric I’ve ever touched, it’s like your softest favorite sweatshirt, just very elegant and chic. Sunglasses are Botega Venetta. Have a great weekend!

Mango SS12

I was invited to Mango ss12 press preview this morning. It reminded me of the days in high-school when me and just a few of my friends knew of Mango and wore their beautiful sweaters and pants. They used to be amazing!

As for the coming summer, they have some great Chanel-Isabel Marant-Celine influences and touch, and I did like some of the new looks, like these:

Best item in this collection are the sandals in the last pictures, I really like them. Kate Moss, Mango’s face, wore them here too:

The press preview started at 9am, pretty early in the morning. By the time I was fully awake I remembered to snap a picture. Too bad it was almost over :-)

 

And obviously was way too early for me to shop, so I didn’t try anything on. I did get this bag, which I really like!

 

So sorry for the dirty window behind. It’s a dusty and foggy day in Tel Aviv today, I can hardly breathe! Oh, and if you haven’t seen the full fashion show of Mango, here it is:

Kind of funny to see Kate Moss trying out clothes from the bag, making sure they suit her. As if there is any outfit in the world that doesn’t suit her just perfectly!

Now, if only the new Mango collection was half as good as this video is, I’m sure the brand and the world of middle brands would be much happier. Sigh…
