A Cinderella Story

After Seeing “Maleficent” too many times, I was super excited to see the new Disney version of “Cinderella.”

Of course I’m not here to write a review of the movie (which was fantastic, by the way) but to talk about the AMAZING dresses that the main characters wore.

Inspired by the 1940s or 1950s, the Oscar-winning costume designer, Sandy Powell, made the dresses.

First, the Fairy Godmother, who gets all the credit for turning Cinderella into a royal princess for a night, astounds in a glittering white gown with beautiful lace detailing on the collar and trim and on her tiny wings.

The evil stepmother, played by Cate Blanchett, showed her great sense of style during her first appearance in a dramatic black and green gown and a huge floppy hat.
In comparison to their mother, Ella’s two stepsisters looked ridiculous in floral frocks, tightly wound curls and Peter Pan collars.

The iconic glass slippers that led to the “Happily Ever After” ending were made of crystal and designed in collaboration with Swarovski.

And lastly, there was a magical, tight-fitting gown with a voluminous skirt that was composed of more than a dozen layers of fine silk in different shades of blue, green, lavender, lilac and white. The layers of the skirt were flowing behind Cinderella when the clock struck midnight (and looked surreal while dancing with Prince Kit).

Sneakers For The Holiday!

White Blouse, suede skirt and sneakers?

I admit that 2 years ago I would never have thought I would put those three items together.
It’s clearly a trend, but honestly, it totally makes sense.

I think if I had replaced the sneakers with white pumps or bullet flats, I would look much fancier and that I tried too much, which is what almost every woman doesn’t want to look like. This look is age appropriate for teenagers, and it’s super chic!

The camel skirt I’m wearing is a MUST HAVE in my opinion. The color goes with almost everything: T-shirts on a “casual” day or a nice blouse for an important event or even for holiday meals.

Dream Weavers

Clothes hold a central place in jewish tradition. In the middle ages, Many Jews used to work as tailors, weavers or goldsmiths. 

Yon might be surprised to know that many top fashion designers are actually Jewish.
Names like Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan and the “grungy” Marc Jacobs.
Michael Kors, Warped Dress inventor-Dianne Von Fustenberg,  French designer Sonya Rykiel and of course Lanvin’s israeli creative director, Alber Albaz.

The Jeans industry was started by Levi Strauss (Levi’s Jeans founder) as an idea to make durable pants for workers. From then on Jeans has become a fashion piece that our wardrobe isn’t complete without.

All of those talented people can be called “Dream Weavers” , and every “dream weaver” sewed his own clothing and weaved his own dream.

Marc Jacobs weaved this grungy prom dress.

The Perfect “Carry-On” – SS15 edition

“A fabulous purse is a true companion.”

Every girl, no matter what age, should have the perfect bag to “carry on” on a whim, to the most fabulous events or even for going out with your girlfriends.

It doesn’t have to be the most expensive purse you find in the store, it can be affordable and to serve you for so many cases.

The purse has to match your personality, so it won’t be too old for you or too “crazy” for you either. Also, the color is important.

The “trendy” girl purse- First of all, since it’s just a “trendy” bag, it shouldn’t cost more than 50 dollars. This season’s trends such as fringe, colors come from the Spring-Summer 2015 runway collections.

The  “working” girl purse- You can definitely bring them to school or work. they have a lot of space for your files or books. The messenger bag shouldn’t be just in the regular black and brown colors, you can “go crazy” with a pastel one or with a nice fabric.

Spring Is Here!

I adore the combination of pastel and white, especially during this time of the year. As it happens today to be the first day of spring!
“Spring is when life is alive in everything.”
The jacket’s color is my favorite, seriously, if I could dye my hair this color or paint my bedroom walls, I would.
such a beautiful, calm and matching color.
In this look I paired it in the easiest way possible (with a white dress), but I can imagine myself “rocking it” with another pastel color or with a camel shade, and you can too!!

Spring is here, let’s party!

Factory 54 SS15

How did you start your morning?Personally, after I studied 3 hours of math, I attended Factory 54 Spring-Summer runway show in Tel aviv’s Opera House. 

The guests wore their coolest, chicest and the most expensive dresses they own in their closet in favor of Factory 54- the luxury fashion retailer of top brands like Armani, Valentino, Alexander Wang, Kenzo,Carven…. 

Models walk through field of flowers ,citrus trees and the sounds of the orchestra.
The collection is inspired by the 70’s romantic and edgy girls with bold accessories. 

The flower girl stands out her  personality with dominant prints, The effortless and free bohmian girl in wintery fabrics like Suede and Leather.
The glam-rock girl wore her wild colors and cut-outs with girly dresses and by contract the strong and minimalistic girl wore matching suits and natural colors. 

The show was closed by Bar Refaeli alongside tens of models holding big signs in a message to go out and vote in yesterday’s elections.
I call out for more fashionable mornings as this!

sparkles and Israel’s winter

Just before I am heading to the snowy austrian alps, The weather I’m dealing with now, in Israel, changes every single day, especially during this time of the year.
You are really in a situation that you don’t know whether it will be chilly tomorrow, freezing or bloody hot!!!

Therefore I usually wear white short sleeve T-shirt with dark washed ripped jeans (very “teenagery” of me)  and put on a trench or coat so I can handle the weather perfectly.

I really like coats, particularly oversized or colorful ones (or both!),  just like the gorgeous coat I’m wearing.
I also believe you can take a casual outfit and add some “bling” with a cool pair of shoes (maybe platformed too).
Can we talk about the bandana scarf too?

Won’t You Be My Valentine

Valentine's Day
You don’t have to hate valentine’s day, You know, even if you don’t have a date or someone to sleep next to. We don’t only celebrate our relationships, but we also  celebrate the meaning of love in our lives. It can be your lovely puppy, your mother or close friend.
Appreciate the fact that you have someone by your side almost every day and celebrate it with him (or her). You don’t have to buy chocolate and flowers for each other, you can watch a romantic movie together (for example: The Notebook), light some candles and play Celine Dion albums.

The lucky ones who have been blessed and actually have a date-wear an A-line dress, cool pumps and holiday inspired clutch, fragrant your love with Chanel and hope your date will bestow you the LOVE bracelet by Cartier (plus some flowers and chocolate of course).

furry chicness

It’s not a secret that i’m in love with furs- only fake one of course. You can look cheap in them but most of the times you can make it chic!

From the moment I saw this jacket I knew it will be mine-and actually bought it 10 minutes later.
I find it pretty easy to put on my daily basis:
pair it with with white slogan T-shirt , black skinnys and booties.
Well done- Forever21!
