etsying the web

In my office, every day that someone doesn't show up I get the honor of sitting in the empty chair. An empty chair means a spare computer and a spare computer means browse all day long. Since everything is pretty much locked there (because of security and yada yada) I had to find alternative to some of the things, one of them was start see what can I find on etsy when i get board (yes, I confess, I fell for the etsy). I found myself every day come back home with a list of something like gazillion stores that I want to put on my favorites. After collecting a fair number of stores I've deiced to pass my very valuable knowledge to you. Presenting my picks from the lists.

I will start with Someday New Yorker. Actually, Should I say more than those photos?! I think they speak for themselves. I mean come on! Pompons?! What can I ask for more? I think that everything I will say on those pieces will just mess this continuous happiness that comes with one glance at those pics. I mean the skirt's sides! And the shoulder of this shirt!! Ok I will shut my mouth (or my typing hands) right now. Just stare and enjoy.

I believe that leggings have the power to upgrade every piece. Really it works like a magic. For example take those Qoo Qoo Fashion leggings, I love it how the prints are like modern art on your leg. If you take the farthest right pic, these combination between those two, very different, kind of prints giving the piece a futuristic on the artistic (sounds so poetic) kind of look. Wearing those will insure an immediate upgrade.   

I think this store name really reflect it substance. When I entered I Heart Norwegian Wood everything marched the first thought that came from reading its name. every garment transmitted nature vibe, if it with the soil colors that rules there, the simplicity of the cloths texture or just the use of natural materials in some of the pieces (like fathers). Feels pretty earthy...  

Emily Ryan garments are not all like these three examples I brought you here. but those ones caught my attention due to the fact that they has the feeling of an everyday piece (maybe its because of the tricot fabric that have been used in every one of them) but get a twist with the finish that been done on them (the emphasizing of the edge lines and the pattern creation without add any other material, just the fabric that used you as the base for those pieces)

Geometric shapes in strong and bold colors are the safe recipe to captivate my heart. How lucky I am to find Ruffeo Hearts Lil'snotty (ha, I need a breathing brake, it's a one long name!) that provided the lust of my eyes.

On the accessories zone I reached to lots of stores. I picked mine top three, although it was pretty hard because I love them all (after all they all on my favorites). First it will be Tsuru Bride who bring the whild under your arm. Let's do some simulation, just close your eyes and imagine everything I'm going to write. Think of a standard on the boredom outfit, which means a white t with worn denim anddd flops (told you it's boring). You probably on your seventh dream because of all the boredom that float here for a second. But now think of all of it with these little creatures on the side, what an addition! Ha?!

I don't think that I need to add something on Maranon, I already said what I think about

colorful geometric shapes. Now instead of cloths it comes on earrings, necklaces and all their friends.

 If you visit Yokoo store you will see that knit stuffs is THE THING over there. It has also huge beads necklaces brand t-shirts but main thing - wool, and lots of it! I think that the designer lead concept was to oversize everything she had on mind. Like if she thought "let's do scarf" she doubled (or if we judge by the photo-tripled) her thoughts, same for gigantic chain necklace and etc. for the record I will say that I don't have any problem with that at all! In fact I like it when the cloths are taking over me.

I think for one post it's more than enough (plus, i need some sleep. now). but remember, I mentioned here a very tiny part from this extraordinary site. If you feel like having some free time (yes, you need to reorganize your schedule for this thing) go online and start making your own list of favorite stores. But you must be aware, It's addictive (don't think it will be like "let's check for a sec what's new and continue on", na ah!) but still...

...HAVE FUN WHILE EXPLORING!

let the new year begin

I think that this weekend should be a sample of all the weekends in the New Year that just has started. Just having a good time with good friends! Don't think that my NYE celebration was some kind of an extravaganza, cause it wasn't. But still I had a great time. everything started when my friend told me that she won some tickets to a show of some Israeli band that her glory days were way back in the 90's but we didn't mind because we had a free tickets and who sais NO to free gifts ?! (Not us!). it was not long before we found ourselves in a dark club with a very deceptive name (the Barbie) that the average age there was a beat much more than ours (that if i will had to describe it somehow I will quote Gwyneth and say "top forties sweetcheeks"). But we don't let anything to mess our fun and although we haven't got familiar with most of the songs the finale was worth it all. And the encore (familiar songs combine with lots of confetti falling from the ceiling is all we need).

The day after we continue on with some fulfilling shopping or if I be more specific I would say window shopping, cause if you buy without having money I'm pretty sure it calls stilling which we don't. But although the money absence thing my credit card didn't disappoint me and I ended up purchasing a Rupa pacman pair of socks. Rupa patterns are so unique and creative that I can't stop myself from buying one (or three) pairs every time that new collection comes to stores. I already have three pairs of tights and two pairs of socks (not including new one). I think I'm addicted... 

Wearing a jeans button shirt from my dad, belt from my grandma, jacket from my mom (Hallo family!), two tone tights from American Apparel, flats from Urban Outfitters and Rupa socks

Oh, and HNY guys!

let's do some math

Warning: this post is gonna be very poor. (Sorry...)(Reason is just one picture ahead)

The fact that I haven't saw math problems for something like two years didn't prevent me from doing this one. When I saw this bride photo it was simply asked to do this combination. It's screaming Cindy Lou Who as a birthday present. Doesn't it?! (Have to say that I learned it from the best)

ps: sorry for the lack of posts lately but I became a busy working lady, going to work at six am and back home at nine pm (Pretty exhausted), life ain't simple. But I promise to try my best on posting!



excuse me mr, is this your stripes baloon?

Last visit to my grandparents' house got me with this striped trousers that in fact were belong to my mother around her twenties. Although that was not supposed to be the thing that will knock you off your chair, but the fact that this pants from H&M sure do. Maybe I'm the only one who gets exited from this fact but man I have vintage H&M who thought these two words could be next to each other in our days (I feel like someone from the future...).

But back to ours, I thought that a splash of colors will be the right thing for this monochrome-ish outfit, so a vintage belt from a family friend, necklace from my cousins and necklace by G jarvis jewelry etc is the things that will do only good.

Watching Xmas-the glee way and reading all of the other bloggers Xmas posts really got me in these holiday vibes. Although I'm not celebrate this holiday, there is one thing that I like about it and that thing will be its spirit, always makes me happy. so as I mentioned, maybe I'm not celebrate, but presents are more than welcome and what is a more perfect timing to get both of the I heart geek and the pink pony necklaces that I ordered on G jarvis jewelry etc than today?!

couture gone wild

Last weekend I spent some really good time at the museum. Maybe its sounds a bit nerdy and all but I enjoyed this visit a lot! (Ok, not help on fixing the nerd image, eh...) I was at the design museum of Holon, visiting the Mechanical Couture exhibition. This fascinating exhibition presents the projects of a 20 fashion designers from around the globe, which has decided to give the machine a major place in their garments. Every designer expressed it in a different way, some has used the machine as their inspirations, some did a cooperative work with the machine and some made the machine part of the garment. I took lots of photos over there (until my camera was screaming desperately for charging) and put down here a précis with the remarkable ones

One of the first was Ying Gao a birth born Chinese who lives and works from Canada. Her garments are equipped with tiny and pretty not visible (I haven't saw them) sensors that has sensitivity for different irritations like breathing, light and body temperature, and following to them they change their shape (expand, swell etc).   

Cedric Flazinski took what many of the companies do to a whole different level. Every company wants to adapt herself to the customer needs and so as Cedric. But not like the others, Cedric made a personality test that in the end of the process you will get a shoe that not made by you but based on you (I wanted to create my own based personality shoe but the line was too long, so I passed it...)

Dai Fujiwara for ISSEY MIYAKE (a Japanese designer) has created a collection that made out of cooperation with the Dyson Company (that among others produced also vacuum cleaner) 

 A really cool display was Alyce Santoro pieces. She used old cassette spools to produced fabrics and has created the garments from them. The most awesome thing about these pieces is the fact that with a special device you can make sounds out of them. How awesome is that! To go with a musical garment! (You can be like a human iPod)

 Using 3D computer software Marloes ten Bhomer is able to create a shoe using only one matter. The software permit to upload the design and by that to calculate the quantity that we need from the material and how much it will cost. These specific pumps are pretty nice i love the bionic look that the material and the cut are giving them.
