Things I Love and A Word I Hate

I finally got the conclusion! ACCESSORIES is a word I really hate. When you say it about a great bag or a stunning necklace or scarf you make it sound less than it really is, it even sounds cheap. I think that bags, shoes, jewelry, scarfs etc. are more of an attitude, a spirit and can usually emphasize a state of mind, and because of this we shouldn't generalize them all in one word. If you think about it, just a shirt can be an accessory too. In that sense, my current obsession is with not just a specific item, but a part of the body. The shoulders and neck area is one of my favorite parts in a woman's body, and I figure - why not help showing it. There are many ways to  do that and that’s the perfect way to use color.

I Recommend... 2 NEW FILMS

It doesn’t happen a lot, but in the last week I had the chance to go to the cinema twice and watch two amazing films.

1.
DIANA VREELAND: THE EYE HAS TO TRAVEL. Documentary about the legendary editor of Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue (US) magazines. I will only say that she was an amazing woman that did not work in fashion but was fashion itself and made it what it is, that it was an amazing film and that I was smiling for 86 min, from the beginning to the end.

USA: In theaters now
ISRAEL: Was screened last month in Holon Fashion Week, hope it will get to theaters soon


Diana Vreeland
2.
ANNA KARENINA. I guess I shouldn’t even try to write what’s Tolstoy’s novel is about, and I admit I didn’t read it. I went to the cinema with no expectations because I tend to find this kind of films (19th century, big novels adaptations and Keira Knightley) too heavy (not sure that this is the right word). I just couldn’t move for its whole 130 min, but from a very good reason. It was a pleasure to the eyes, especially for film lovers, for fashion lovers, for theater lovers and for just lovers. Knightley had like a million different faces as Anna thanks to director Joe Wright and a great cast.

USA: In theaters from today
ISRAEL: In theaters from February 14th, 2013

Keira Knightley as Anna Karenina
