Ciao

I am leaving in a few hours for a much needed vacation in Italy. I'm very excited to finally meet in person Botticelli's Venus and Michelangelo's David, and see all the places I've studied about in the past year.

I will be in Rome for a day, and then a week in Tuscany. So if you know some nice places to go, see and shop, I would love to read your recommendations, as it has been far too long since my last visit to Italy.

I hope I will have the time to update the blog from there, but if not, have a great weekend and see you when I'll get back!

Plans

I am pretty much done with University for this year. These photos summarize what I want to do for the rest of the summer, until my whirlwind travels will begin.

What are you up to this summer?

Channeling the 60's

Anna Karina, Jane Birkin, Serge Gainsbourg, Francoise Hardy and Charlotte Gainsbourg.
How timeless is the style of that era.

Fly me to the Moon

A small tribute to Apollo's 40th anniversary. All the movies I've seen in the past few days about it make me want to be an astronaut!

The little Mermaid

These beautiful handmade tights are by an Israeli textile designer Gal Stern.
You can purchase Gal's tights here as well as at some shops in Tel Aviv.



They remind me of the amazing costumes Miki Avni made for Batsheva dance company in Sharon Eyal's Bertolina.


Another reason why I want it to be autumn already.

Mystic Sky

It is too hot outside. I give up. I am done with summer. Next season please.

The Making of a Dream

"I tried to reproduce the dream day of a modern girl: a couture fitting in the private salons of Dior, a bicycle ride through the streets of Paris, a stop at at a famous florist's shop, a snack in a fabulous pastry shop, kissing her boyfriend..."

That is, the dream.

Silver Lining

Unfortunately, I am in the midst of finals exams. and even though i like studying about the history of Latin America and renaissance art, I much rather be planning my summer vacation...

Here are some of my favorite Hedi Salime's photos, just to get me going//

I hope you are all having a great summer and that it's not too hot.
