We had the best Hannukah this year, our first in NY and it didn’t disappoint! Holidays with kids is so different and so much more exiting! It is heartwarming to watch them so fascinated by every little detail of the holiday traditions.  As sad as we are are about the end of the holiday season, we can’t wait for a long winter full of snow, ice skating (maybe even ski?) and winter activities.

Thanks for stopping by! xx

Doesn’t Hanukkah give you the best feeling in the world?! I love decorating the house and hanging up some fairy lights to create a nice holiday atmosphere. It feels good to spend some extra time relaxing with the family, eating sfingiim (Moroccan doughnuts- I literally made them almost every night so far!) and too much fried food.  There’s nothing I like more than a cozy night at home- as much as I enjoy getting out I feel like there’s something heartwarming and calming about cozing up at home.

As you guys know I’m not the most fanciest type of girl on earth, I usually will go for more dressed down looks with little festive details rather than a sparkly dress and high heels combo, but this week is Hanukkah week and I thought what better time to put on some sparkle than now?! Hope you guys are having a great holiday!! Lots of love! xx

Kids. You can never get them all to look at the camera at the same time and they are always busy and jumping all over the place but they make me so happy by just being kids and being themselves. There is no reason to stress about perfection, I actually like this imperfection and how their little personalities shine through the images, I think it is way cuter than that perfect family photo.

 On another note, I got my tulle skirt on just because it is Hanukkah next week and I am so excited about this cozy holiday!! xx,

Hey hey and happy Wednesday! Hope you are having a great week.  Before we moved to NY I gave 80% of my wardrobe to friends because I had a limited amount of packing space. I only kept the items I loved and some closet staples like my black leather jacket, my parka coat, white shirts and some knits- of course! 🙂 I must say it felt quite good, almost therapeutic, to give away so many clothes I had kept for years. I can’t wait to build up my wardrobe from scratch. Although, I notice, that as I get older, I spend more on quality and less on quantity, so it might take some time.

I’ve had this skirt for a while now, but I haven’t had a chance to wear it. This is one of those pieces you look at and immediately think of spring or summer- exactly what I thought. However, since I am left with a very limited wardrobe I have to get a bit creative when getting dressed. If you haven’t noticed yet, I am obsessed with knits so I tried this skirt with a slightly oversized knit and… Voila! I loved the look. So here is my tip to you, pair your knits with dressier skirts, it is a great way to dress down those fancier pieces but still look put together and you create an interesting, stylish blend at the same time. Yesterday my friend Dikla (also Israeli living in NY, you can check out her awesome blog here) and I, attended a friend’s birthday party on the rooftop of the James hotel in NYC, this “not too casual not too fancy” look felt just right! Apart from this look, the view of the city from the James hotel is absolutely unreal, it was quite cold up there but totally worth the 360 degree city view!

Lots of love! xx,

Happy Thursday everyone! Here’s a few photos we snapped right before the leaves turned brown, the colors of fall are so beautiful in NY I sure will miss this time of year! The change of weather isn’t going as smooth as I would like it too, both Eitan & Lishai caught the cold and I’m quickly updating the blog as they take their nap. I hope they get better over the weekend, I feel so bad seeing them sick + I’m tired of wiping little noses all day long 🙂

Thanks for stopping by! xx,
