LITTLE BLACK DRESS

What is it with women and the little black dress (also known as LBD)?!
I checked, and I must have at least twenty of these in my closet. Dresses, black, small, all types and cuts – wide, tight, long, short, cheap and expensive.
When it comes to the LBD I'm sure I'm not special or different from any other woman, so what's the deal?! Why do we obsessively collect little black dresses and even prefer them, often, over other types of dresses or other garments? How did the little black dress become the most common item in every woman's closet?

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?

HIGH MAINTENANCE

(… Or image, patterns and everything in between)

A few weeks ago I met a friend for dinner. The evening began, of course, with my favorite game "Where did you buy that?" And after one got an answer regarding the other's outfit, we jumped into the conversation.
The meal is served, and with it the wine too and somewhere between entree and main, my friend told me about a man she had met. After she recounted the romantic story of how they met, she continued to list his pros and cons, then she turned to me and said – "So? Have you got someone?"

NOVEMBER RAIN

November began for me with a slowly rising expectation, like the soothing opening of a familiar song. It's not really that hot anymore, and not quite cold, but the winds of change are blowing in the air, reminding me of winter in on the doorstep. Time to prepare for the cold season, for the convergence, the season where ideas will prosper and new beginnings will emerge.

CRÈME DE LA CRÈME

I don't know about you but I've always associated white or cream with purity and festiveness, it's probably a matter of culture and tradition.
So now that these holidays are over and the next holiday, Passover will be in April (… I know Hanukkah is in December, Tu Bishvat in Jan and Purim in March. But between us, a holiday without a significant work break doesn't really count in my eyes ;-))
So what do we do with all this white we bought  ?!
