THE LOOK

BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL

Let's have a chat about colors. I don't know about you but lately, every time I walk into a shop and see "exciting" colors (unique and bright) my indicator turns on and it doesn't let me continue on my way until the item is not picked up, packed up and taken away by me. Moreover, since my blog was "aired", I've published more articles that included colorful items than those that include a mix of dark colors and my Instagram gallery is very colorful … there's no doubt that this matter demands a psychological analysis itself, but recently I wondered, why do people limit themselves to only a small variety of colors and don't enjoy an endless sequence of colors instead?!

Ho Ho Ho!

Some of my friends are celebrating Christmas in a few days.

From time to time I write and share my holiday experiences and suddenly I noticed that not all my friends celebrate the same ones. Between you and me, that is a pretty awesome thing! Like that I get invited to more events and celebrations, and who am I to refuse a party or a good meal? ;- )

But the food… Ohhh the food… Why is it that every celebration has to include a table full of irresistible delicious goodness?!

In the holiday spirit I decided to offer a fashionable interpretation to the rigid office look that includes all the holiday attributes without looking like an over decorated Christmas tree.

So may it be a very merry Christmas, and a happy new year and if you need some help with present ideas, I'm here!

…Just don't forget to buy one for me.

BRIGHTEN UP

This week I was invited to a Hanukkah dinner at a friend's place. It's been a while since I've seen most of them and the thought of that, along with this special holiday and the guilty conscience over the amount of jam doughnuts and other sweets that will surely find their way to me, made me think about the place light and darkness have in my life.

GOOD MORNING IT’S EIGHT30!

How are you at eight thirty in the morning?

I always say that the world is divided into two types of people – morning people and night people. There is, of course, the classic difference between winter and summer people, but for now let's focus on a few moments in the morning.

I'm not a morning person. This reaction may sound a bit surprising, since I chose to call my blog "EIGHT30", but this fact has a few incriminating signs – my alarm clock rings several times each morning, at ten minute intervals, and to me, that sleep between the rings is the sweetest. Usually, I plan what I will wear to work while I lay in bed and I'm pretty confident that this is a genius way to make the most of my time. I've actually developed pretty creative methods and ideas for dealing with this very complex event. One of them, by the way, is to get up two hours (!) before starting work and begin the morning calmly.

I noticed that my choice of outfit was heavily influenced by the way I woke up and the extent of how tired I was. So, I decided to experiment whether this would work in reverse. Would knowing that a new and beautiful piece of clothing that is waiting for me in my wardrobe, affect my effective and timely morning routine?

BARGAIN HUNT

My mother always says "you can't buy good taste". I agree with her.

Those who know me know that one of my favorite sports is bargain hunting. I reckon if there was an official bargain hunting competition, I would win the title of ''2 for a 100 long distance champion'' At least! ;- )

It probably doesn't seem like it and there are probably people who say "That one? Bargains? That fancy pants has probably never seen the inside of a market in her life" … But it's the truth.
