Bows, lace and grids.

Yesterday I went on a little shopping trip to Tel Aviv, which was lovely. I really need to go there more since I feel that I need to get to know the city better, but I rarely have the time. Nevertheless, I managed to snag a few pieces which I am extremely pleased about....





A white summery lace dress from Zara. I am absolutely and completely smitten with it, and it is such a little treasure. In my next post I will be wearing this.



A bow t-shirt from Zara. Bows are nearly impossible to say "no" to.



A bow hair band from American Apparel. I had a similar bow hair band from Topshop a couple of years ago, but it's gone missing so I was happy to replace it with this one. Unfortunately the picture doesn't do it much justice.



And finally, some tights with grids on from American Apparel. I had actually set out to buy some heart shaped tights, but I thought these were so much more impressive, and architectural (which means that my boyfriend was quite amazed by them as well).



PS: I apologize for not really replying to comments lately - I have no other excuse but laziness - but I will start replying to them tomorrow. Right now I must surrender to the sandman. Yawn.

Little river.

Yesterday I went on a little day trip to somewhere very pretty in the north of Israel (which I've forgotten the name of - shame on me!), and had a lovely time. There was a little river there which was wonderful to walk in, and the water was a little cold, but still very refreshing. I wish I were able to go on trips more, at the moment my boyfriend's too busy with his studies... Oh, maybe in a few weeks...











Blouse from H&M and shorts from Zara.


Before I forget: You can now follow me on Twitter here. It's quite silly, I've had an account there for over a year, but only decided to start using it a few days ago. Let's see if I can keep it up!

Sad.

I've been feeling really sad for a few days now as my parents, who were supposed to come and visit me on Thursday, are probably not going to be able to come at all due to the volcano eruption on Iceland. I had looked forward to them coming so much; spending time with them, showing them where we live, going places with them and them meeting my boyfriend's family and also getting a whole suitcase of my things that they were bringing from home. It's terribly, terribly upsetting and I have no idea when they would be able to come.




To cheer myself up a little I bought this belt with a little bicycle on it from a little boutique. I think it looks adorable.



Sweater from Cala, shorts from Topshop and tights from Accessorize.

Beams of sun through the treetops.

My two week passover holiday from my Hebrew course is coming to an end in a couple of days which means no more getting up at 11 or 12, but at a terribly unholy hour. I cannot say that I am looking forward to that because knowing myself, I have the worst time adjusting myself to getting up early, but changing my routine to getting up late (and staying up late) is easy peasy. Strange, isn't it? Nevertheless, I am trying to enjoy my last couple of days of vacation - and after posting this, I plan to on a little biking trip! How are all of you doing these days?













Playsuit from Dahlia, cardigan from Zara, shoes from Topshop and hairband from Bianco.

Cliffs by the ocean.

On Thursday, on our way to look for a little carpet for our apartment, my boyfriend and I, drove off on a little side road where the landscape looked really beautiful. At the end of the road we reached some lovely meadows along with steep cliffs. It was amazingly stunning and unlike anything I'd seen in Israel so far. In a way it reminded me of landscapes I've come across in Europe. We stayed there a bit, sat down and enjoyed the view and talked about how lovely it would be to come back for a picnic there another time, or even go to the beach further down which was almost deserted.









Blouse and belt from H&M, skirt from Gina Tricot and shoes from Din sko.

Jerusalem.

I ended up not going to the Dead Sea on Saturday since the weather wasn't the best, so instead I went to Jerusalem which I think I enjoyed just as much. I hadn't been there for a very long time, which is a pity since it is always such an interesting city to visit. It's such a unique place due to its history, ancient architecture, beautiful scenery around it and the atmosphere with almost everyone being very religious. I should have taken more pictures of it, and especially of the old city, but it was quite rainy so we didn't spend enough time there. I will most likely go back there again in a couple of weeks when my parents are coming for a visit, so then I'll try to take more pictures.
