CARNIVAL

(or…not every day is Purim)

Tomorrow we'll be celebrating PURIM, my favorite holiday! …Between us, all the rest of the holidays are downers.

As the years go by, I find this holiday happier and more important. I guess on this day adults put on their costumes in order to "shed" the everyday masks and defenses (can't believe I just referred to myself as an "adult").

BLAME IT ON THE WEATHERMAN

The Israeli winter is a bit deceiving, actually it seems to me that this is the only country in the world where you can actually sun bake at the peak of winter and a week later get a chest infection from the freezing cold.

It could just be the Israeli essence – varied and unpredictable, sometimes even extreme and mostly prevents you from staying in your comfort zone. Maybe it's even the essence of creation – One moment the sun is shining, nature blossoms, and the next the sky darkens and you're flooded.

Now, take that minor detail into consideration and try to manage a fashion blog …

FASHION COCKTAIL

I like to finish my day with a good meal or catching up with friends. Shed the seriousness, the weight of responsibility from the tasks and duties and just let myself be me. My days are pretty packed, sometimes my work hours are getting longer and the clock at work shows me twice that it's eight thirty on the same day, which means that I need to pack my bags, get in the car and take a sharp turn into a totally different parallel reality. Remind me where Ms.Parton works?! "Nine to Five" Sounds like an amazing working day to me! Calling Dolly – it's time to put out a new updated version of your song! Seven is totally the new five ;- )

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.

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?
