pearls in your hair

pearls in your hair

On top of a rock.

One of you asked me if I could write a little bit about my daily life here in Israel, which I thought was a good idea. I think I mentioned a few posts ago that I've begun learning Hebrew - which I do for a couple of hours in the morning from Monday to Thursday. So far it's fun and because I hear Hebrew being spoken around me so much it feels like I am learning the language quite fast. Another good thing about the course is getting to know other people since I really want to have friends here. Other than that my days have more or less been occupied with fixing the apartment (I really hope we can move in this weekend!), and just being with my boyfriend and his family. I wish I had a job, too, but unfortunately I have to wait quite a while until I get my working permit. At the same time I saved up quite a lot of money in Norway so it isn't that urgent, and I do enjoy having time off and just enjoying myself - especially when the weather is so nice!






Top and shorts by H&M.

PS: I mentioned a few days ago that I was going to the H&M opening party in Israel, and while I was there I was photographed and interviewed about my outfit by one of the biggest newspapers in Israel. Really exciting! You can see it here, but it's unfortunatley all in Hebrew.

In a rush.

I am really disappointed in myself for being such a bad blogger the last week - especially when I promised myself to blog more frequently after I was done with all the stressful things which occupied my life the last few months. I imagined that things would be calmer once I got here and wouldn't have anything to do, but I suppose I was wrong (at least for the time being). You see, I've been very busy fixing the apartment we're about to move into (I had no idea it would take this long, but there is a lot to fix, and I am really anxious to finally move in). I really do apologize for not blogging more often, but I hope that things will be better very soon!

An outfit from a couple of days ago:



Vintage blazer, cardigan and tights from H&M, dress from Cala, shoes from Sixtyseven and bag from Accessorize.

I am also in quite a rush now, in fact. I am going to the opening party for H&M in Israel and I am really so excited about that. It's going to be fun to have a store I like so much and that I am so familiar with here finally.

Rainy.

It's been rainy here for a few days now, and I actually kind of like it since I think I have more outfit choices when it's not as warm (perhaps because that is what I am used to), but I am sure the warmth will come back pretty soon again anyway. I started going to a Hebrew course last week to be able to learn the language. I really like feeling that I understand more and more of what people are saying every day, though I think I am a little lazy not studying as much as I should. I have quite a bit of homework to hand in for tomorrow, so I suppose I need to go and do that...

An Education.

On the plane last week I watched "An Education", which is a movie that I need to add to my favorites since it is simply brilliant: 60s nostalgia, haircuts and hairstyles, dresses and coats, well dressed men, Paris and London - what more can you ask for? Carey Mulligan is so beautiful as Jenny in the movie, and I think both her and Peter Sarsgaard play their roles wonderfully. If you haven't seen "An Education" yet, I absolutely think you should.

Pink balloon.

I've been meaning to blog since I got here on Tuesday, but I've been too busy enjoying being with my boyfriend again and celebrating his birthday, enjoying the warm weather and getting somewhat settled (though we still haven't moved into our apartment). It's been quite strange to go from -10 degrees to around 28 degrees Celsius, at least for Tassus who has never experienced such warm weather. He keeps sweating every time we go for walks, so he really has to get used to these temperatures, I think.








50s vintage dress, shoes from Chie Mihara and the hair band is a gift.

Miu miu, miu miu, miu miu....

I got a Miu Miu bow! It's been my dream bag for the last two years so I'm so happy to finally own one - and in the color I've always been lusting after as well! I'm moving in just nine days (very scary!) so my house is a mess at the moment: boxes, clothes and things everywhere... I'm trying to decide what to leave behind, what to bring and what to send and that's no easy task when you have so many things. Oh, and to those of you who've been asking: I am not moving to Israel for forever, but for a few years, I suppose.
