URBAN JUNGLE

Somewhere out there in the African bush, there's a tigress walking around proudly in a tight skirt and high heels.

… Yeah, well, maybe not. But in the urban jungle where I live, she roams the streets freely.

Good morning, leopard print is back!

Before you scrunch up your noses at me, let me open with a little confession – Leopard print is one of my favorite fashion trends. I have no explanation for it. I guess the hours of watching Peggy Bundy on high heels while wearing shiny slacks, leopard print shirts and puffy hair did the job during my childhood (For those of you who are not familiar with this character, you probably didn’t grown up in the 80's).

RED HOT

There are things that I guess I would never be able to understand. Such as the male brain for example.

I’ll give you an example – you got up in the morning, got ready, really put some effort in, wore your most fashionable outfit and went to work. At the corner coffeeshop you met your friend. He took a long glance at you and… the best line he managed to get out was something to do with a soccer team?! Unbelievable!

You’re convinced that your red top is a symbol for femininity and seduction and all he sees is that you’re a Manchester United fan. Go figure :- )

ARMY GREEN

Everyone that knows me knows that I always preach color – "colors, colors, colors!" To try new shades, think outside the box and adopt a new look.

But every few seasons there is one color that stands out, that turns every visit to a shop into a trip back in time, as if I went back to my days in the Army and entered the military storekeeping. There, from the top of the gun cleaning cloth hills and the mountains of old rugged uniforms, you can't help but remember, the amused look on the face of the most important man in the area. The stylist that decides destinies and sets the future – who will be a bombshell and who will bomb out – the store keeper.

In other words, I as well, just like many Israelis, developed a certain caution and suspicion towards this shade of green. Still, five years in the army did their job (Lieutenant Kochavit Akunis, nice to meet you).

PATCHE IT UP!

A friend of mine asked me to write about Abundance.

"Abundance?!" I asked. What do you mean write about Abundance?

"I decided that this year would be a year of abundance in every meaning and every way – love, friendship, success, money, health and more", she explained, "that's why if you want your year to be full of all of the things that you wish for yourself, you need to open yourself up to abundance, to wish it upon yourself and all of your readers".

That's an interesting approach… I thought to myself, though I quickly went back to what I was doing. I mean, between us, who has time to think about abundance, when you're busy laying the foundation of a new career and the only thing you have on your mind is an upcoming photoshoot?

After a few days, I went out for a walk around the city to get some inspiration. I visited shops, browsed through clothes, strolled around galleries and even discovered a new boutique hotel. Suddenly, like the old Tetris game, everything fell into place, and the bottom line became clear – it's the end of the minimalist era and the start of the overload era. Abundance!!!

CRUISE CONTROL

A New Year is at our doorstep and if we look back, there is no doubt that this past year was significant, exciting and very formative. I made some brave decisions, of which I have written in the past, I've accomplished quite a few dreams, but most of all I've lived some amazing experiences. I put my life on a new path, and now it's time to have the cruise control system continue at the same speed and adopt resolutions and goals for the new year.
