White Hot

Hello lovely fashionistas and fashionistos!
June is almost here and the weather is getting warmer and warmer. Time to stock your wardrobe with the perfect items for summer!
Here’s what we’re obsessed with this summer: whites!

The color White symbolizes many things in different cultures; in western culture it is the epitome of purity, cleanliness, and romanticism. One thing is for sure though, it is the ultimate color to survive the hot and sweaty summer months with. Whether worn in the form of a wedding gown or an everyday dress, it will always look more special, festive and royal!

Vera wore a vintage embroidered dress with a thin brown plaited belt and plaited sandals.

Rony wore a chiffon and tulle pearl-adorned dress with bow peep toe pumps and a cream leather and brass oversized clutch.

Both dresses are made from breathable, comfortable fabric and both could be worn as a more casual look, or be the perfect dresses for fabulous summer parties.

We can almost feel the summer breeze now…

Urban Geometries

As architects, there’s nothing that inspires us more than an open plaza overlooking the city’s buildings – the square shapes, the different proportions, the geometries. As fashionistas, there’s nothing we love more than mixing prints and wearing things our own way.

Geometric prints have ruled the fashion scene for the past couple seasons and show no sign of slowing down. Whether it was checkered dresses at Vuitton or rhombus print suits at Prada, this trend is everywhere you look! We particularly loved the pop art qualities of the lavish prints and decided to paint a picture of our own:

Rony wore an Escher-esque print puffy sleeved dress with a checkered Prada bag, studded moccasins and lots of big and bold geometric jewelry.

Quick fix up for a bad hair day: tie your hair up in a tight ponytail and braid it for a look that is chic, classy and pulled together.

Vera wore a Lichtenstein-esque star printed cut out tunic with red high waisted trousers, black blazer, big and bold geometric silver jewelry, leopard print glasses and studded flats.

Vera’s tunic is so versatile – it can be worn as a dress or tucked in as a blouse and can be casual or office ready with a fitted blazer.

The ultimate city girl isn’t afraid to wear attention-grabbing bold prints and stop traffic!

Happy Passover!

Last night Jews around the world held Seder night, the celebration of the eve of Passover, a holiday commemorating the Jewish people’s deliverance from slavery in Egypt all those many years ago.

We celebrated with our families, rejoiced, drank and of course ate lots of delicious foods! Here’s what we chose to wear on this special occasion:

Vera wore a blue frock with lace detailing and red bow pumps.

Rony wore a strapless layered zebra print dress with peep toe pumps.

Both our dresses were so attention grabbing and unique in their own right that they required very little accessorizing; we both kept the jewelry to a minimum.

Wishing you all a wonderful Passover, happy Easter and a beautiful spring ahead!
love always, xoxo

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Hello ladies!
What could be better than a day to celebrate love?!
Valentine’s Day is The opportunity to flaunt your most romantic clothes, put on nice makeup and enjoy a night out with your loved ones – whether it be a “significant other”, a lover, family, or good friends!

Here are some ideas for different outfits to suit different kinds of Valentine’s Day celebrations:

For a laid back yet romantic dinner, movie night or a lovely stroll through the park Vera wore layers of gentle flowy fabrics and light colors:

Vera wore an asymmetrical cut chiffon cream skirt with a long striped tee and a cropped knit sweater, dark tights and high heeled booties.

Vera’s outfit is chilled and comfortable and gives a very effortless and relaxed vibe. She wore a gold chain necklace to make the outfit less conservative.

For a more formal dinner date and after drinks Rony chose an attention-grabbing form fitting dress in a bright color:

Rony wore a magenta textured mini dress with an open back. She wore camel high heeled pumps and matching tights to create a long leg effect, and accessorized with big cocktail rings and gold earrings.

Rony’s outfit is fit to impress on a Valentine’s date.

Supersize me!

Hello boys and girls!

Winter is striking hard, even for us in Israel, where we usually enjoy warm weather year-round. The gray skies and cold winds make it so hard to get out of bed and start the day. All we want to wear are our biggest and warmest sweaters!

Oversized, masculine clothing is very in right now and shows no intention of disappearing from the fashion forecast. Oversized pieces could be anything from jackets to skirts; from your boyfriend jeans, to your boyfriend’s never-worn sweater or some plus sized tunic that can be worn as a dress! Everything goes!
Over sized pieces can be quite tricky though; If you don’t wear them right you might look a bit… well, ridiculous! Whenever wearing something really big remember to put it together with something more form-fitting to create some contrast: a tight dress or skirt, skinny jeans or leggings will do the trick. When wearing an oversized dress or tunic a belt will do the job.

Vera wore an oversized striped sweater over a striped black and white mini dress with black sheer tights, red flats, glass and metal necklace and a black and white knit scarf.

Rony wore a vintage oversized knit sweater with a form fitting print mini dress over dark green tights, studded boots, rope and rhinestones necklace and a checkered bag.

What’s your favorite oversized item this season? Tell us all about it on our facebook page or on Twitter! Can’t get enough of What We Wear? Follow our attempts at artistic photography on Instagram!

What We Wear: Beach Edition

Hey friends!

Besides being one of nature’s most amazing creations, the beach is also sandy, humid, windy, wet and has the most revealing lighting. Not exactly the ideal runway for a fashionista. We do love going to the beach though, especially when we live so close to some of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful beaches. Ladies and gentleman, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: We give you What We Wear, the bathing suit edition!!

Beach fashion is no less important than any other fashion, and is much more problematic. What works on the street won’t work on the beach. When you have sand all over you the last thing you want is clothing that’ll stick to your skin. We chose beach dresses in flowy breathable fabrics.

Vera’s first dress is a 100% cotton fuchsia mini dress which can be worn with or without a string belt. This dress can be worn in winter as well with leggings and a jacket. She completed the outfit with black flip flops, black and white straw hat and brownish Ray Bans.

The second dress Vera wore is the perfect beach dress: it’s 100% silk fuchsia dress with bows on the shoulders to adjust the straps. This piece is really flowy and feels like you have nothing on so it’s great for super hot weather. My first dress is a %100 cotton pale pink dress. What’s great about this dress is that it’s loose, especially around the sleeves so that there’s maximum breathing space, but can also be adjusted by drawstring if it feels too big. I completed the outfit with gold strap sandals, a men’s straw hat and leopard print sunglasses. The second dress I wore is actually a %100 chiffon purple tunic I bought in a bigger size and wear as a dress. This is a piece that can be worn outside the beach, it’s classy and a bit dressy and goes with just about anything! The bright color of the tunic brings out my tan and blonde hair. Our advice is to buy your beach dress a size bigger than you usually wear so that it stays loose and comfortable. Colors are the fun part to play with, we usually go for brightly colored pieces that are attention grabbing and won’t fade in the summer sun. Don’t forget that at the beach accessories can be kept to a minimum besides the essentials: sunglasses, hat, etc.

And to the most important beach wardrobe staples: The swimsuits!

Vera wore a red retro bra-like top with brown bottoms. The little skirt attached to the bottom gives the bikini a bit of a flattering twist. Vera’s bikini was put together by mixing pieces from different sets. We recommend mixing different tops and bottoms to make your swimsuit more interesting. Especially in today’s fashion where different colors, prints, cuts and styles are put together and mismatched. Everything goes! I also mixed a top and bottom from two separate bikinis to create an interesting mix of colors. Although I prefer to tan in a strapless bikini as it leaves no tan lines, the triangle cut is much more flattering, especially on girls with a bigger bust.

Remember, no one has a perfect body, even the skinniest supermodels have cellulite; it’s all a matter of finding the perfect cut swimsuit for your body, wearing a suit that suits your shape and wearing it with confidence. Don’t forget to drink lots of water and apply lots of sunscreen. Being healthy and protecting your skin is always in fashion!

Flowers of the Night

Hello ladies and gents!

For a recent girls’ night out on our trip to the desert, we decided to bring some flowers in bloom to the desert landscape.
Flower prints are lovely and girly and can be worn both as a chic unique print and as part of a more casual outfit. For our drinks we decided to rock the flower print in a pretty casual way, yet cool and edgy for a night out. Of course we wore heels to dress up our outfits, but kept to the more comfortable wedges.

Vera wore a flower print tank dress, loose and comfortable but romantic and colorful. She gave the dress a cool twist with her camel suede men’s vest and camel platforms.

I wore flower print high waisted chiffon overlay shorts with a ripped top. I dressed up my outfit with dominatrix-like platform heels.

Needless to say, we had a blast!

Summer Party Rockin’!

Hey guys!

Summer nights are getting hotter and so are our going out outfits! Sleeveless, strapless, basically less! We chose summer dresses made out of breathable, gentle, flowy fabrics. These dresses are sexy and stylish for a night out yet chic and classy to suit a day or dinner party. While the lengths of the dresses can be kept demure, bold colors are a great way to bring out your wild side, especially in summer to show off your tan! We decided to keep to the superhero color palette: superwoman bright red and royal blue.

Rony wore a red chiffon leopard print strapless dress  with chunky heeled strappy sandals. She wore the outfit with blue and white striped bag, thin brown belt, and animal pendant necklaces.

The flowiness of her dress is perfect for any season and flattering on all body types and the cut of the dress shows off a small waist like Rony’s.

I wore a 50′s style red and blue print dress with a denim vest, beige cutout wedges and a camel handbag.

The A-lined cut of my dress is especially flattering for a very feminine look, the shape and the print give the illusion of curviness.

I accessorized with a natural coral beads necklace.

Don’t forget that if you chose to reveal on top with a strapless cut, keep it classy and understated with the length of the dress.

We think fabulous dresses are a great excuse to throw a party! best accessory of the day/night? our multicolored balloons

Whether during the day or at night, keep on party rockin’!!!

La bohéme

We truly hope that spring has arrived to your home town because it surely hit ours!

The lovely warm weather and all the flowers that are blooming right now make us crave flowy dresses, hats and of course our favorite accessory- vests. So of course we decided to go boho chic on this post and show you how the look can be achieved.

Rony wore an  A-lined collar navy and white checkered dress. The layers of the dress along with the striped brownish gray vest looked fabulous on Rony and really flattered her shape. She wore nomad-like suede flat booties and a men’s straw panama hat. Sometimes it’s fun to steal from the boys, masculine accessories give feminine dresses a cool twist.

I wore a long floral dress sewn by none other than my mother and moi! The short puffy sleeves of the dress flatter my arms and the high waisted shape combined with the long length would give anyone a beautifully long silhouette. My strappy camel wedges probably helped with the long silhouette But flats will look fabulous as well!

Oh the bohemian life… flowy dresses, cool jewelry, awesome music and art and a chilled lifestyle.. sound good? Sounds amazing to us!

So take a walk on the beach, enjoy the sand and the breeze and the sun! But don’t forget to stop for some refreshments in the hot weather!
