donkeys and cows

the blog is starting to have a serious animal corner. what is up with fashionable animals? i'm not sure if its just me or if its a new phenomenon.

we took a trip down the nile and stopped to look at many architectural wonders. we were surprised to find that in egypt men still wear the gellabiya, a traditional long dress complete with turban in tow.

silk road fashion צבע ובד: אופנה וטקסטיל בדרך המשי

בחודש מאי שעבר יצאתי למסע ממושך לאורך דרך המשי. הדרך המרתקת הותירה אותי נפעמת ממגוון המרקמים והצבעים שמצאתי לאורכה. הבדים מכסים את האזור כולו. תלויים, עוטפים או מקופלים, נשים עוטות אותם ורוכלים מציגים אותם לראווה בערימות ובגלילי ענק. השווקים מלאים בקונים אשר מדפדפים בסחורה ומתמקחים על המחיר

wrote an article for Hafatzim Magazine. its about the local fashion in turkey and china as seen by yours truly. check it out. love to hear what you think.

the perfect winter accessory


walking on gordon street yesterday, this dog caught my attention. the colors of his coat were exquisite: the shades of grey, black spots and camel strokes. a perfect painting. i am not an animal person. (i have tried- a quick hit and miss romance with a cat ended in disaster) it's not that i don't like dogs or think they're not cute, i'm just not sure what to do around them. it's not my fault. my only dog exposure growing up was 101 dalmations and clearly cruella deville stole the story. this is what happens when you grow up in an animal-free building in Manhattan. this dog is so gorgeous though, he might just converted me, slightly.

haircut baby!

it was time again. my hair was a mess and i was tired of wrapping it in turbans, so i hopped over to yossi's and he did his magic. i ♥ a good israeli hairdresser. too many of them are exported over-seas and in tel aviv we are left with an abudance of hair "designers". well, i can not tell you how many disasters i have overcome after letting my hair be designed. i'm of the school that allows the hair dresser to do as he/she pleases. whatever they want, i'm game (save for highlights). as long as we're aesthetically in sync i hand over freedom to the man with the scissors.

What They Wore... Turbans on Dizengoff, Tel Aviv

They came all the way from Dimona and were sitting pretty on Dizengoff.

What I Wore... to the Funeral

I'm never quite sure what to wear to a funeral. When in doubt I usually go all black, but this time I longed for an appropriate alternative. Here in Israel they tend to be quite the casual event. Funny how my first What-I-Wore post is so morbid.

No Crocs Allowed!

The fellows at the cable-car station have it right.

Deja Vu

A spectacle store on Ben Yehuda street is one of my favorite places for glasses. They have a great selection of European designers and when I'm in the neighborhood I often pop buy to have a look.
