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.

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.
