I love Sex

Can anyone clear up this little rumor? ?

I can't say I would love a prequel, but I can say I would see it.

Before moving to Israel, I had heard of the SATC series and seen maybe like 10 minutes of one of the episodes. A few of my best friends suggested I get one of the season's DVDs to take to Israel to keep myself occupied during expected boring times on the kibbutz-- and what did I do? Bought the whole 6 seasons. Now I love Sex!

I became addicted with the show and loved the punchlines of each episode. The show is one you can literally watch time & time again.

So this evening, while waiting for Dekel to finish at the pharmacy, I was poking around in the bookstore - on the one tiny little shelf with English books- and found this:



"Meet Carrie before Sex & the City"

I, like the parrot I am, was immediatly drawn to the shiny, gold paperback and didn't need to think twice before buying it. Even though my study schedule leaves me no time for pleasure reading, (only pleasure blogging, of course) I'm sure I will get through the 389 pages in no time.

a little shopping does the soul good

added a few new pieces to my wardrobe. can't say that they were needed, but a little shopping does the soul good and i chose items that i plan to restyle in many differnt ways. picked these up at a store called Road 26, which is across from one of the malls in haifa. the store is sort of like the equivalent to a forever 21 in dallas, but a little more expensive and definetly not as large or fun.

 high waisted nautical skirt
 salmon colored dry fit tank
 another tiny way for me to incorporate this trend
 a billowy, floral crop-top with front zipper, which i figured i could wear with a longer tank underneath and pair it with jeans or even tucked into a pencil skirt for work

 i wore it to dinner with a red tank, blk tights and these boots
 gold cuff that my family sent me for my birthday and a white flower ring from twentyfour seven
 bff necklace with my favorite peace charm that i received as a gift for being one of the maids of honor at my best friends wedding, posted about here

you guys think i picked some winners?

my little appetite

it's about 17:30 (yes, i have gotten used to thinking in military time) and i'm already dreaming of dinner which we will have in about 2 hours. we are headed to dekel's family's house tonight for a big shabbat meal. i am hoping there will be the usual soup with carrots, squash, dill, potatos and chicken as the starter. then a main course of schnitzel  and / or baked chicken with sweet teriyake sauce that his mom has been serving lately, which i love. and let's not forget the million little salads that are scattered across the table, such as avacado salad, green salad, spicy roasted peppers, egg salad, etc....

i'm hungry to say the least.

anyways, i was wasting time on etsy and found this little shop. little is an overstatement, more like miniature shop. i don't think it get's any cuter than teeny tiny wearable foods. i wouldn't wear them, per say-- but i can still think it's a way cute idea. plus, the seller is from israel which is double thumbs up.

some of my favorites:
falafel necklace, with all the toppings
 macaroon rings
 watermelon earrings; of course i would have to add some salt-- anyone else salt their watermelon??
 licorice pins; strictly cherry though
 avacado earrings

over the hills

Was anyone as obsessed with The Hills as I was? I loved LC, Whitney, Audrina and LO... from what I saw of her. I stumbled across the cutest photo of LO day shopping, or whatever celebs do, over at The Vogue Diaries, here, and kinda got swept away thinking how fun it would be to jet off to LA's warmer weather and wear such a simple, yet comfortable outfit like this and just stroll the streets.

i tend to get the prints of leopard and cheetah mixed up a bit.
if someone could explain the obvious differences to me, it would be welcomed.

anyway- leopard / cheetah (faux, of course) is a trend i am seeing appear and reappear all over the blogosphere and in flesh & blood. even here in the homeland. i am loving it and eating it up, slowly but surely. see my first miniature puny attempt at incorporating this trend into my wardrobe here.

the following photos are just too great not to share:
