MY TEL AVIV

Through the years, I’ve been fortunate to experience lots of travel.  But of all the cities I’ve visited, there is only one place on earth that feels home, that smells like nothing else and that feels close and dear to my heart—Tel Aviv!

One of the main reasons I founded Tel Aviv Couture is because of my unconditional love for Israel. Because of my fashion-related business relationships, I have been able to visit my homeland much more often, which means more time with my family and friends.

This trip centered around my best friend's Bat Mitzvah. But, I also managed to conduct a little business and spend some quality time with my amazing family and friends.  

For work, the first stop I made was to Maskit to discuss our exciting collaboration on their major USA tour, visiting at least 15 states in 2016! I can't say enough words about how special and beautiful their studio at American Colony in Jaffo is. It’s an experience not to be missed when planning your next trip. Maskit is moving to a new location, also in Jaffo, around May, which I am sure is going to be even more amazing!

My second stop was to GioIelli by Liat’s private trunk show at her home. Her boyfriend served us the yummiest little bites paired with a delicious glass of wine. This experience was a serious treat, as I am a big fan of her timeless jewelry collection. I don't wear many statement pieces anymore, but this cuff had to join my personal jewelry collection. 

With my friend Luba, I discovered a new favorite restaurant in Tel Aviv, Georgian cousin, Supra. Everything about this experience was spectacular beginning with the food and continuing with the professional dancers, the music, the intimate environment and a little dancing of our own. Super fun! I am definitely going back and possibly celebrating my upcoming birthday there!

I have posted my old favorites here.

NEW YORK NEW YORK

How lucky that my other half grew up in Manhattan and now we have many exciting reasons to go back. For example, this weekend we flew in to attend a super special wedding of Jason's childhood friend.

I am in love with this city. It has so much character and so much to offer that no matter how many times you have been there you always find something new.

Here are some high lights from this trip.

- The Armory Show

The extraordinary international modern art show that takes place once a year for the last 16 years! I was so excited to attend this iconic event. Besides the inspiring art, I loved watching the incredibly cool crowd that filled very quickly this creative space. And we saw Oscar winner Patricia Arquette who also came to explore the show.

- Grandma visit

Unfortunately, not every visit we get to see all our friends and family but we never miss on meeting  Jason's 93 year old grandma Ida. She is my instant dose of inspiration. This time grandma welcomed us wearing super chic black & white kimono dress, make up and hair done to perfection. I decided from that moment and on to keep the chic at home as well, even if I am alone.

- 2nd Avenue Deli

If you are up for something different such as a picnic in Central Park, I would suggest you to make a stop at the 2nd Avenue Deli and get some cold cuts, knishes or any of your favorite kosher treats.  I wasn't surprised that this deli been around so long as their food is simply spectacular. They also have  a restaurant with a full menu if you prefer to dine in.

It was very short but very sweet trip. We enjoyed every minute of it and already looking forward for our next visit :)

BABY-MOON & MY RESORT STYLE

After Chicago Winterland post, I am jumping straight to resort style, Riviera Maya Mexico.

This vacation was a very last minute decision as we had a unique opportunity that we couldn't resist. 

 I didnt have much time to look for resort maternity clothing. Now I am about 5.5 months pregnant and my baby bump (and everything else:) is growing super fast. But luckily I still found a perfectly fit black summer dress in my closet that could also easily transform from day to night. 

The lesson I learned from my travel experiences is that to destination like this, the key is to pack as light as possible, especially when traveling with toddler. It makes the entire trip so much easier.

 Here are some of my resort essentials:

1. drama hat. 2. swimsuit. 3. cover up 4. sunnies 5. shine hair spray 6. summer dress  7. light jacket 9. flip flaps 10. sneakers

MY SURPRISE BOAT TRIP TO GREECE

Life is full of surprises! When I was packing for my trip to Israel I had no idea that I will end up traveling the Greece Islands on the most beautiful private boat with my dearest friends. 

Here what I discovered this adventure:

Five Greece Islands: Kos, Leros, Nisos Lipso, Patmos, Kalimnos

The ultimate vacation for body and mind is a boat trip 

Yoga is not for boats, especially balance poses. But swimming in sparkely Mediterranean Sea is the most refreshing work out I have had.

Items I couldn't leave without this trip are swim suite, white button down shirt, warm sweater and my backpack.

My favorite boat music is the sound of sea 

Favorite thing to do on the boat is being inspired by the Mother Nature

I was very lucky to take this memorable trip with my chicest friend and fellow blogger from Israel Luba Jakobson.  Here is her point of view and great tips for you next Greece visit.

Thank you for visiting my blog! New posts from Tel Aviv are coming soon!
