A Midsummer Night's Dream

This is my favourite dress from Jerusalem: over and over covered in roses, very Sleeping Beauty-like^^.♥ I found it in a small shop on Jaffa Street. The lenght is ideal!

Bracelet from H&M. Thanks to K.A.By. for taking the pictures!

We were going out that night to the beach to have drinks in a small bar. The wind is execptionally warm, like from a hair blow dryer!

The heels are a present from my dear JP. for last Christmas, they are perfect! I got the embroidered bag in Jerusalem's Old City. The black rose ring is from six, the earrings from madonna.

My favourite summer outfit =)). But then, what else can you wear, when the temperatures don't significantly drop during the night??! More soon^^. Love,

Back to the Blogosphere

Wearing white requires caution: not the best for someone as clumsy as me...XD

We went out for drinking a coffe together (yeah, at night, totally normal).

A recent going out outfit: shirt from blogger Jules, leggins primark, belt noname, shoes (?), earrings jerusalem, bag present from mam, ring six.

It happens to all bloggers occasionally and there is not much that we can do about it, even if we love blogging with all our heart and put a lot of passion into it...sometimes real life demands (and pleasures) are so strong that you get completely distracted from the blogosphere. In my case, I had no idea that my break would be a month long even if I was thinking that I'd like to blog every day!!. Does it give any indication of how incredibly busy and exciting a work place abroad can be? Now I am back for good and I have tons of fantastic pictures and stories with me:

* a shopping trip to Tel Aviv
* a adventurous trip to Jordan
* a boat trip at the sea
* lots of events with friends

So: Yaay, finally a blog update (a decent outfit post, suitable for a fashion blogger) and there'll be more from me soon =). Cordial greetings to all my beloved readers!
Love,

Walk the Palm Alleys with me

It seems that after a month here I already adapted to the temperatures and I don't think its hot anymore...maybe this saves me for the killing summer here? My lovely D. took these pics on our way home from work, waiting for the bus. I am wearing a NoName dress from Ebay, which is highly practical and chic at the same time (people asked me at work if I plan to play tennis today... :P!!). This is in my ears at the moment:

Satellite by Lena

Lilly wears: polo dress noname, shoes hm, sunglasses primark, earrings+necklace bijoubrigitte.
Taking pictures outside during the day is especially challenging, because my eyes start to tear after a few seconds already. Most people never remove their sunglasses due to the intense radiance here.

My hair got seriously bleached by the sun. Hair dying for free, lol!

I adore this round-about with marine animals!! Would love to take pictures there, but it's in the middle of the street and I am not sure if its allowed ... =(

Beautiful blossoms at work! How I enjoy all the fragrant flowers here ♥. Right now I have to get back to work. Hopefully my plans for tomorrow work out! See you again soon with more from my daily life here in Israel.

Love,

Impressions from Work ♥

Everything you need to survive on a hot work day:
Coffee and strawberries!

This is my office ♥ (I am serious!). When I get inside, it feels like stepping into a fridge. No idea who left the boat there. Captain Sparrow?

It's too hot to walk barefooted. Do you agree that these shoes were the best investion? You walk in them like on a piece of butter.

Favourite time of the day? Running along the Pier after work and jumping into the sea with a loud scream!! Waaahh!

Creativity Rules! My colleague T. did this last week. Imagine her sitting in the middle of it!

Today the sky is surprisingly cloudy. This evening there is going to be another work beach barbecue. I have to prepare salad and go out to buy bread and meat! All the best to you and have a wonderful weekend! :-*

By the way, how do you like the new header?!

Love,

Why Lilly nearly broke her Neck on the Catwalk

"I should not have tried. These shoes seemed killers from the beginning. I should have wondered when HJ already tripped over in them. Didn't help. Lilly - trying to survive the catwalk in one piece...".
Those plateau heels seem to come from an ancient Asian culture! Here are the pics from our visit to the shoe exhibition (shoes through times and ages). At the end there was a catwalk (with a cool screen playing fashion show videos), where visitors could try on all sorts of shoes. And I had to try them out - bad idea, very bad. I pity all professional models. Walking in heels is difficult enough, if they are your size already. Imagine walking, when you slip out of the shoe or its to small for you...this is pure horror.

Cheesy posing. Sorry, my facial expression was to weird. Lady Gaga sunglasses instead.

Whoops, my hair did seriously grow long. Did not realize until I saw that photo.

I am changing between contact lenses and glasses (in case you wonder). Close-up on those strange shoes!

C. and me. Lilly wears: pullover+cardi vintage, shorts hm, tights+earrings ca, ring+overknees six, necklace primark, shoes from the museum.

Yaay! Thats from left to right: C. , HJ and Lilly. Heart the shoes!!

Snake pumps - oh lá lá!

And HJ's favourites. (Cute pose!)

Something must have gone wrong the last days. Due to the sudden weather change, I somehow got a cold. Now I am fighting against it in order to keep working....snoozee. So not fair. Everyone outside walks around in ballet flats and without jacket and I have to stay inside or wear a thick shawl and a winter jacket when I go out - like a total freak!! :/
Love and Kisses,

Whoops, there is a baby chicken on my plate!

There is a cute little Easter chicken on my plate^^. This year I am not able to celebrate Easter, therefore HJ (left), C. (right) and I decided to pre-celebrate with a Saturday morning Easter brunch. Spot the coloured butterfly tablecloth? I have the same one at home!^^(I do not have C.'s explicit permission, therefore she wears cool sunglasses.)

***No.1 Breakfast Hit: Ace of Base - What a beautiful morning***

Haha. My hair is going in every direction. It becomes fluffy when it rains outside and the strands take up the air moisture. Croissants are my favourites!!!

I adore HJ's stripe-coloured cups and plates! In this photo, I am wearing my new rose-shaped black ring. Lost the previous one a few days ago... :/

Is there a better thing than starting into the weekend with a brunch? I am really a breakfast person - my favourite meal of the day. Afterwards, we left for a local shoe exhibition (more about this in the following post). How do you prefer to spend your weekend? By the way, two weeks early, but: Happy Easter!!
Love,

Spring Trends Style Guide

Yaay, I found that new style tool on hm.com and proudly present the outcome of my spring combination choices. It kinda reminds me of Polyvore, but hey, you get all the latest pieces from your favourite Swedish fashion dealer *wink*. Valances (German: "Volants") are a substantial main trend this season, as well as denim. I could not find a good valance piece yet, if you are not careful, you look like a six-year old girl (nothing against them, but uum...you now what I mean). Yesterday the H&M Spring 2010 Inspiration Catalogue arrived and I like to show my three favourite shoe choices:


Obviously, I did this collage on my own. And you know the best? On Sunday I ordered the blue shoes!!! (They are basic and can be worn with anything - that was the main alibi for buying. They have that *awww*-factor. Can't wait!). Will you be buying shoes from H&M this season? That's all for today, I have to work now (my assignment has to be handed in at the end of next week and there are several other things which cannot be postponed. April will be so great! Okay, my coffee and my "Milchschnitte" (erhm...let's say its a German speciality) is ready, let's get going!
Love and Kisses,

Roooaaar

Hey, I don't own many print shirts. If I think about it, only one (see here). Saw the tiger and felt that it was time to start a proper print shirt collection. Bought via 6sells, from lovely Jules.

Lilly wears: shirt vintage, longshirt avanti, bag tally weijl, pants+rings orsay, hat+tights ca, overknees six, boots marco polo, nail polish DIY.

Just found this beautiful bag on bonprix.de. I am picky when it comes to bags to avoid that I have to many. This one is a real favourite!

Uhh, this week was tough. I did not have much sleep and still have to prepare for the last exam on Monday. But then I am free, yay! Had to go to the city today and found some great bargains, will be shown during the coming days! Did I already mention that on Sunday there will be the next Vintage Fashion Market?? Looking forward to it!!! Happy weekend! Love,

Casually glamorous

Lilly wears: chemise vintage, shirt primark, necklace ebelin,
shorts vintage, tights ca, heels graceland,
watch vintage, bracelet hm.

My sweet sister took this outfit shoot! I am happy about the technical quality - we used a reflex camera (which I was unfortunately not allowed to take with me - sob!). About the outfit: I borrowed from my sister's wardrobe: the checked pattern chemise and the DIY jeans shorts! She also styled the "belt" with a brown shoelace. The strawberry red watch is one of the Christmas presents from my dear friend JP. The heels (first pic) are brandnew - I would basically prefer to sleep in them! When is this snow going to melt? Did you spot the silver floral embroidery on my tights in the fourth photo from the top? I would love to wear that outfit for going out! At the moment I feel all like red and black. Stay tuned for more^^.
Have a wonderful Saturday!
Love,
