Here's my take on jean shorts. Last summer, like every summer, jean shorts takes the summer fashion by storm. You can pair them up with pretty much everything and your guaranteed to look adorable because your showing leg. Here's my question; how short is too short? I sometimes see girls walking around with jean short that are pretty much only covering their underwear, necessary? Not really. If it's still an article of clothing than shouldn't it be covering just a tad more?! Don't get me wrong, if you've got the legs, go for it sister but there's something very revealing and overbearing with short short jean shorts. My take; find the length that suits your body. If your legs aren't all that, make sure they are a bit more "washed out" or a lighter jean and that they reach mid thigh. Even if you do have killer legs, leave something to the imagination ladies. In this case; the shorter isn't necessarily the better.
There has been this adorable look in stores everywhere of flowy, printed, low crotch comfortable pants. At first I tried them on at H&M and it looked like I was about to grab my computer and hop into bed to watch a movie. But then, I paired it with a tight tank top and strappy sandles and suddenly looked like I was ready for a rocker night out on the town. They are very risk-ay! But makes for a great, daring trend. So if your feeling the need for spice in your life grab these adorable printed pants for only 60 shekels at H&M.
There are more than one element to this outfit that I would like to point out and emphasis on. Firstly, the tight knit french braid along the forehead with the flowy haired look to top it off; adorable for any occasion including shopping with friends. The chunky grey bag... we all know that the bigger the bag the better ladies. And most of all, I am a complete sucker for chunky rings. For me, the cheesier the better. For example I just bought four different chunky rings, all of them flower based but big and colorful to add the slightest bit of color to your winter look. Check out Accesorize at any mall and get the latest sales as well.
Loving the combination of floral prints and wide legged pants. Top Shop rocks this trend and it can be matched up with cute tshirt or simple jacket. In this picture she's rocking flowy scarf with the rest of the outfit. Its a great work look or day out with friends.
In this beautiful country of ours, women tend to think that the thiner and higher, the better when it comes to brows! Think again ladies! The trick in having the perfect set of eyebrows is OH NATURAL! Thats right, with the cleaning/touching up of extra hairs around the edges, the most flattering eyebrow a woman can have is the shape and size that God gave her. The thicker the better (not to say that we all look like Jennifer Connelley but it's important to not shape them completely out of their natural shape and not raise them up, but tweeze around the edges for unwanted hairs. Keep it simple.
I like to give credit where it is needed. This young aspiring new model Fifi Newberry has just the right body and style to go with it. She matched a wonderful combination of 90's grunge with the biker boots and knee highs along with the 60's mini dress and flowy long blonde hair look. To finish up the look she added round light shades and altogether she just looks rockin.
I love the drama and excitement in this 2011 campaign for Dolce & Gabbana. Pay close attention to the details of the fabrics used on both the dresses and the bags, embroidered white lace along the edges of the shirts/dresses and all over the handbags. Almost looks like table cloth material but it brings an elegant look to your day. I just snatched a gorgeous white dress with this pattern, princess sleeves to the knee for my friends wedding. Check out Bugrashov Street in Tel Aviv for French and Urban style boutiques.
I love when a good and easy hair trend comes to life. For all you women who wake up to lazy to straighten or curl your hair, here's a look that can work for both work or a night on the town for drinks. Braid the first chunk of hair in the front above the forehead adn swoop up the rest in a messy bun look. Make sure to brush the sides so that it's not frizzy or too messy looking.
Its important to have the best pair of shades to dazzle up your look. These days, any pair works. Make them your own. I picked up these bad boys at the flea market on Sundays in LA. They are a bit scratched up at the top but makes them even more mysterious. And you know how intensely important it is for Israelis to rock the shades, because for them it is a form of expression and style. I believe it stems from their army years where their uniform is all that defined them and buying the sunglasses that suit you most was the only way of standing out.
Urban Outfitters is by far, my new favorite store. Its like an affordable version of Anthropologie, kinda. In any case, they have amazing sales, and I walked in the other day to find a rockin sale and all these incredible fedora hats for 10$. I mean, what beats a fitted beige trench, boots and this adorable hat that flips up in the back with a bow holding it up.. perfection in a hat. Snatch any kind of wool fedora to handle those wintery cold nights.
No more shit thats it Im done. Thats right ladies.. junk food verrrry trendy... muffin tops noooot so friendly. So heres todays trend- DIET! Or just eat healthy and you'll feel great to add to your style.
One of my favorite pieces of clothing are t-shirts. I love collecting adorably fitted t shirts with cute catchy sayings. I have collected some from all over the world. Today I went to the Annaberg Museum of Photography in LA, that had an exhibition on photographic journalism raising awareness of worldly conflicts. Freedom of speech is very important however some of the topics hit home for me. All the Israeli-Palestinian photographs that were shot were very pro Palestinian and portrayed the Israeli Defense Force in a very bad light. The way we can make a difference through fashion is to state how you feel and what better what then on a t-shirt. (This t-shirt is just a joke, but you get the point)
Not only am I obsessed with Glee, but to top it off Rachel from the show's new hair style is one to blog about. Not gonna lie, I went out and got bangs and its great. Whole new look. Sometimes we need the smallest change in our hairstyle to brighten up our look. Try light highlights or side bangs or even a trim, you'll feel the difference in your look.
With any LBD or white tee and jeans. Grab yours for really cheap at forever 21 or at Accessories in Israel.
Alexander McQueen was definitely the master of fashion. His styles were outrageous and breath taking. He was a fashion guru and there was nothing and no designer like him. He passed away in Feb. 2010 just around fashion week but his passion for fashion will live on forever. This is one of my favorite pieces of his, and this post is in memory of his awesomeness that he brought to the fashion world.
Sequin is the hottest trend right now, whether it be shoes, bags, hats you will be seeing it all over the place. I just scored an adorable sequin hat in black amazing for spicing up every outfit. It's a little out there but if you have a regular plain peacoat jacket for the upcoming winter, grab a sequin bag or hat and add a little dazzle to your look.
Absolutely love the cow boy boots look. I just scored a pair from Forever 21 and they are perfect for every outfit. They are timeless. Goes with leggings, jeans, skirts, dresses.. you name it. They are all over the fashion world on celebs and all. It's also an easy way to kick up a lousy outfit, and add a little heel to your day. Whether they are black or brown, be as old school as you can in finding the perfect pair. Get through those rainy days and still look adorable.
Even in the year 2010, black and white pictures are worth a million worlds and can be so powerful. These days we almost abuse color in the sense that, we go ALL OUT on what matches what, and crazy colored designs on the runways, however there is something very special about black and white film. It tells such a story and invokes such nostalgia. I always find that when I am rummaging through my parents old photos the black and white shots of them as children makes me stop and think of how different the wolrd was back then. Dont get me wrong, without color we would be nowhere but there is still a strong and bold statement that can be made through a photo that was taken in black and white film. Even in this editorial piece we can see some form of color shining through with their outrageous hair do's and vibrant dresses.
femininity and style. Their use of materials and colors play out perfectly with they styling in their photo shoots. In this picture there is a contrast between the old school wall paper and hard wood floors and the new, stylish looks on these models. One wears a simple yet extrodinary silk dress with lace linings along the neck and sleeves, and is quite mini to keep those boys wondering :) then we have the latest cargo pants and ruffled cardigan alongside the ankle boots with little accessories because the outfit says it all. I just love how they manage to combine elegance with the latest trends witout looking silly. Best news, you can order anthropologie straight to Israel (let's just say you should make this order at the begining of the month when your salary is still there)
to show their shining moments early on. I absolutely love the styling in this photo. I think they made celebrity Dakota Fanning, who in the eyes of the media is a "little girl" look young and fresh with a twist of funk. The poofy pokadot mini matches the crimped widespread hair and pulls toegther with the jewelled cardigan, tights and black studded boots. Although still young, this 16 year old can be a role model in terms of style for other girls her age. With the way 16 year olds are dressing these days, we can use a little CLASS for our younger generation.
I have been trying to get my hands on a pair of Oxford shoes for a couple months now but have not found the perfect pair. Instead I can dig through my old elementry clothes and whip out my Docs. I mean this fashionista rocks the vintage dress, flowy hair, high black socks and doc shoes. Love the look!
