Fab Find of the Day: 3.1 Phillip Lim Lim-Rae Flats

I’m thinking: with jeans, leather pants and leggings. And maybe a 3.1 Phillip Lim gorgeous huge bag too? I wish. I really do love his bags… but these shoes come first. They are also reasonably priced:

Monday, Nov 7th 2011

It was so cold to get out of bed this morning. I guess it’s the only thing I really don’t like about winter. Mornings are just so difficult.

I had to run to Hugo Boss new store opening, early in the am, before a long day at the office. I had no time to wake up slowly so I did everything, running. I’m sure I’ll be shocked to find my apartment a mess tonight when I come back, I just had no time to organize everything neatly, like I always do. Please forgive me, home.

Running down the elevator, I took this one:

 

While waiting for the car to come and take me there, I had a minute to check out these vintage loafers and Valentino scarf in the window of Galerie Parisienne, the vintage store I love and happen to be located in my building.

Good morning Mr. Valentino

Hugo Boss new store in Tel-Aviv reminded me how much I love the one in SoHo in NYC. The atmosphere is always a little dark and clean. It’s very good for me to start my day with. No flashes, not too much light, there’s always nice coffee around, and it was almost an intimate preview. No complaints.

I saw these great men’s loafers. I think they are classic and look so comfortable. I’d recommend them to any guy, from casual wear to a business meeting or dinner. I love them with jeans as much as with a suit. It works!

Of course I went browsing the men section upstairs. The women’s collection is great too, but I love imagining all the men clothes I can personally find my feminine way to wear.

And before I knew it, I was back in the car. So happy it waited outside for me and not the opposite way around. I’ve been feeling a little under the weather lately and really have to watch out and not to get a flu. It feels like it’s around the corner, waiting to get to me. No!

 

By the way, blogging from the car rock. It’s multi-tasking at its best for me. Thank you WordPress for your iPhone app :-)

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:

Nine West summer 2011 presentation in Tel Aviv

It was a gorgeous sunny morning today in Tel Aviv, just perfect for an early presentation with the beautiful beach view :-)

The location was amazing – it was presented on the rooftop of Hotel Alexander, which was recently renovated from scratch and is now gorgeous. I had to take a couple of videos because of it, and the shoes and the bags, of course! Following my videos, you can see the pictures of the new collection (credit: Nine West PR in Israel):

Lanvin & H&M – press preview

So, after I watched this movie early in the am, like all of you did, I had to run to the press preview of the collection at the H&M PR offices. If you were wondering how the outfits look in real life, you can see it here. I took these pics this morning:

Now, that zebra brown and white trench coat is stunning, don’t you think?

Sex and the City II – high fashion, great laugh

First thing’s first – I MUST see it again. ASAP.

Overall, it is a great celebration of fashion, colors, trends setting, stunning shoes and lots of makeup. I recognized a lot of Halston in action, which fitted perfectly to the transforming wave in the fashion industry towards wearable fashion, a motion I respect very much.

It’s finally about summer and happiness, no more black-white-gray shades. It’s funny to read myself writing this, as I was all into these colors for so (too many, actually) many years. Thank you, Gos of colors and aging, for finally changing my mind. The movie was full with great reds, gold, bronze, orange, pink. green (lots and lots of greens) and white, of course, because no summer time can start without it.

I’ve found two major differences between the first Sex And The City and the second -

1. The budget. The second film’s fashion budget goes a little above 10 million dollars. Now, that’s a lot, and it shows alright!

2. The humor. The second movie is so so funny. I haven’t laughed like this in a long time! It’s pure health and also great for your complexion. I personally guarantee it! I wasn’t expecting it to be this funny, but it’s just hilarious, really :-D

What also stands out (hands down for this one, seriously) is the emphasis on interior design. All the apartments, hotels, and basically everywhere this movie was shot at was just beautifully designed.

Before I share some of my favorite looks taken from the movie here, I’d really like to say something about this movie’s reviews – people, lighten up please. This movie is not about politics nor being rich, poor, realistic, racist or any other serious matter as these. It’s a fun, happy movie, filled with great style, beauty and humor. If you treat it this way, hey – you might even enjoy it and have some fun, because that’s what it’s all about. Leave the top-of-the-world’s problems to another time, I personally guarantee you that it’ll all be there waiting, for a long time.

Here are some of my favorite looks taken from the movie:

and for some inspiration, I’d like to share some of Halston’s Fall 2010 collection, as it was a big deal shown in this movie (just in case you haven’t noticed :-) ). The message, in which I’ve been swearing for the last year, is  – forget black, simply because it doesn’t exist anymore. Gone, vanished, not legal to stick to anymore. Got it? :-)

There, I’m all done. I hope you liked it!
