The Northern Sea

The sun finally came out after ten (!) days of rain and 16 degrees in average...I never thought July could be so wintery...my birthday is in July and for me it always goes hand in hand with boiling hot:)
Apparently the dutch have a real vitamin D deficiency cause every time the sun comes out they come pouring out to the streets and the world seems like a very fun and happy place!
seeing as the sea is one of Israel's strong points and was actually the thing we knew we would miss the most we were thrilled to discover that there actually is a beach here and it's more than just a few icebergs floating alongside penguins:)
Of course we had to check it out! and indeed just 20 minutes from Amsterdam lies a real beach, where people actually wear bathing suits and kids play in the sand. the water is freaking cold but that didn't bother the dutch, they're super resilient. For us a long stroll and some amazing sea food was enough.

White, yellow & blue

I've been wanting to wear this ensemble ever since I saw fashion icon Shala Monroque wear a number of outfits with yellow embedded in them. Obviously I can only dream of having her wardrobe (or her physique) but I figured why shouldn't I try and create a look inspired by her from everyday pieces i have in my closet? 

i think the combination of white, yellow and blue is a winner and this was really my last chance to wear a scarf before summer kicks in with its mighty force. 

אני רוצה ללבוש את האנסמבל הזה מאז שראיתי את הפאשניסטה הנודעת שאלה מונרוק לובשת כל מיני קומבינציות מגניבות של הצבע הצהוב. מן הסתם אני יכולה רק לחלום על המלתחה שלה (וגם על הגזרה) אבל חשבתי לעצמי שאין סיבה שאני לא אנסה ליצור לוק בהשראתה באמצעות הפריטים היומיומיים שיש לי בארון. לדעתי השילוב של לבן, צהוב וכחול הוא שילוב מנצח וזו גם הייתה ההזדמנות האחרונה בהחלט ללבוש צעיף לפני שהקיץ מגיע בכל הכוח.
