Random photos from when my parents were here.

I had planned to post this a few days ago, but these last couple of days I've been feeling somewhat under the weather and haven't really been up to blogging. I'm sure I'll feel better in a few days time and then I'll be back again. These are just random pictures from my parents' visit here; from Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and from Max Brenner (chocolate restaurant).

Bow overkill?

Since purchasing the Zara bow shirt and the American Apparel bow hair band a few weeks ago I've been tempted to put together an outfit incorporating both of them, and perhaps adding more bows as well. And when I ordered some new tights online a little while ago (and one of them being with bows!), I decided to take the idea even further and wear a very bow-y outfit.

I always feel pretty reluctant to wear two or more print items (either if it's the same print or different prints) in the same outfit even if I often feel like matching a polka dotted skirt with a polka dotted blouse. Every time I end up telling myself that it looks out of place and that it's a little too much. However, after wearing this outfit for a day I think that it could work out wearing matching prints and I think I'm going to re-attempt matching polka-dots.

A tour of our apartment.

I've been wanting to show pictures of the apartment me and my boyfriend live in for quite some time, but not until recently have I felt that it's come together the way I've been wanting it to. Despite the fact that it doesn't have as many things as I'm used to having around me (and I doubt we'll get much more since we may only be living here for another year, or maybe two) I really like living here especially because it's spacious and the view is really pretty. Enough talking, come on in!



One enters through this door, and then one some of our shoes (mostly mine) and my coats, jackets and bags. To the right is the living room:


Most of the furniture is from IKEA, but that's okay since IKEA is great. Now some details:

Candles and a bowl with cherries on the table.


A shelf with a plant that looks like a tree, books, and my Lula magazines.


We have an inserted balcony, if you will. It's just the windows of the living room that can be opened all the way, but it feels almost like a real balcony and and having all the plants, flowers and herbs outside really add to that feeling.


I love the view.


To the left of the entrance is the kitchen....

...but if one continues straight ahead there is the eating area:


and further on, there is the bedroom:


Tassus has his own spot to sleep next to the bed!



The other side of the wall has a big wardrobe. Let's take a look inside some of it:


And the bathroom with all my skin products and make-up:


There is also a guest room/study which is right now occupied by my parents who are visiting me, so there will be pictures of that another time. The reason for my lack of blogging lately is because I've been too busy showing them around, and having fun with them. I am so glad they finally made it here!

Thank you for the visit :)

Heart print playsuit.

I love Zara at the moment. Every time I go there I find at least ten different pieces of clothing or accessories that I want, but unfortunately I need to restrict myself. Yesterday, though, when I was there I found this pretty heart printed playsuit (which has heart buttons as well), and I simply had to get it. Playsuits are one of my favorite things to wear and this particular one is extremely comfortable to wear, which doesn't hurt either.

My parents are supposed to come on Saturday (after the annoying volcanic ash stopped them from coming three weeks ago), and I'm getting really excited about that. At the same time, I'm a little scared that the volcano will erupt again, so I am afraid to get my hopes up. Quite silly, I know, but I can't help it...






Playsuit from Zara, bag from Miu Miu, hair clip from Accessorize, belt from a little shop in Ramat HaSharon in Israel, and shoes I bought in London years ago.
