Looks like Nama Unger and Adi Zinger, the two behind Melloteck, had a blast while working on their first collection as a duo. There is nothing like looking at a design and having a sense of what the process feels like.
I don’t really know whether or not I’m making any sense at all but the one thing I know for sure is that I need to take a close look at their super fun arm candies!

Let me put it this way, when you receive to your inbox a colorful treasure, there is no way I can ignore it!
That’s exactly how I felt once I got Ellie Malin’s shout out, regarding her super colorful prints.
“Ellie’s colourful bold art works, reflect a playful approach to image making, where bright colors and form construct the landscape.”
I spent quite some time at Ellie’s playground and my absolute favorites are the woodblock and the tea towel prints… Yes, the tea towels would be a nice addition to my growing collection.

You know how it feels, when you have a favorite shoe designer and it’s almost like there is no way your wallet is going to survive the launch of her new collection. What I’m saying is, with SO many shoes I need to have, it’s almost impossible to choose!
That’s exactly what happens to me each and every season and this 2012 Summer Collection, by the lovely Shani Bar, is no different. The fact that there are lots and lots of yellow shoes in this collection, makes things a bit crazy for me. You know, with my obsession with all things yellow and all ;)
Here are exhibit A, exhibit B, exhibit C!

When you spot a bright accessory, filled with lots of stitches, little beads and a mix of super unique fabrics, you know you arrived at Tamar Gartenberg‘s kingdom. Yep, it’s a kingdom alright!
With each and every collection, Tamar has the most amazing ability to have her signature touch, shine through. Her latest collection is a party of bright colors and sprinkles of feathers. Don’t know if it can get any more heavenly than this!

When I stumble, by mistake, upon an amazing piece of jewelry, my heart misses a beat. When a jewelry also serves as a piece of art that you can put on your drawer and just look at it for hours, that’s really special!
It’s been two years since I first shared with you Dania Chelminsky’s world. And now, I’m super excited to introduce you to her “‘Mended 240″ solo exhibition at “Periscope Gallery” in Tel Aviv.
“Dania looks at the trimmed branches. Each cut stump inspires her to begin the process of mending. Working directly with the material, creates a pattern in which every organ is different…”

I don’t consider myself as one who has “good hands” and there is no way I will ever draw a straight line (thank god for Photoshop!)
Lately I’ve discovered one of the gifted designers, her name is Leninka aka Lena Maikon and she knits and knits and knits… “I knit all the time – everywhere and everything. It’s a kind of an obsession.”
You can read about Lena’s world at Etsy’s Featured Seller. If you’ll do so, you’ll find out that she is a former math teacher!

It’s been a while since my last ShoeBreak and there’s no better time for a new one, now that I’ve received my own stripy shoes.
Since the last weeks have been nothing but sunny, I have a feeling that things are looking up.
Here’s for a colorful and bright summer!

If it was up to me, I would have written about Anat Martkovich’s graduation project months ago… The problem was I had to wait for the pictures to come my way. Anyways, all of that is water under the bridge. Anat’s Cut & Paste collection is one of those who left a big mark on me… “The collection is inspired by knowledge, the flow and abundance of information at this point in time and how we as individuals, can’t possibly contain it all… ” I guess it hits a soft spot!
BTW, Anat is a 2011 graduate of the Fashion Design Department at Shenkar College.

I know, I Know… Too many shoe posts are going on around here this week. But, what can I do? I can’t help myself. So many new and exciting shoes and I don’t know how to control myself ;)

My Shoe obsession is in full swing now that the Liebling’s Spring Summer 2012 collection is out! Yes, there is no need to add any more. Let me say it one more time, the Liebling’s Spring Summer 2012 collection is out!
Karni and Lior, I think this is just about the right moment to say that my heart belongs to you, now and forever!

There is so much seriousness and sadness around us and someone once told me that’s life. Well, those of you who know me in person, know I don’t like reading the news or even be around it. I prefer to deal and surround myself with all the beauty that life has to offer. So, when I first discovered Geraldine Nishi’s delicious collection I found myself staring at it and was thrilled that I found a designer, who makes it clear from the gecko that she is all about the finer things in life like food, sweets and having fun in general.
How refreshing is that?!

Speaking of shoes… I hope you don’t mind getting a double dose of them two days in a row.

Since I first bumped into Natalie Ve Tamar almost six months ago, I kept wondering if there would be any chance I’d be blown away again. And if you are wondering…the answer is YES! The attention to the smallest details, the perfect stitches and just the right curves! I feel like Tamar Shalem, the lady behind it all, should be on my speed dial ;)
BTW, can you guess which pair has my name written all over them?

Last night I couldn’t sleep, actually I woke up at 3AM and found myself looking for inspiration on the web. Luckily for me, one of my sweet blogger friends Morgane, just commented on one of Hagar Wertheim’s posts. And so, right there and then my journey began. An illustrated blog and one with lots and lots of illustrated shoes is my kind of heaven! 1 Hug a Day (such a sweet and lovable name, isn’t it?) is by far my best revelation, thanks to Morgane ;)
Don’t know what about you, but I’m going to visit each an every day from now on in order to get my daily hug!
Oh, and this is the apropriate time to wish Hagar lots of luck in finding her dream job!

Opening nights… well, I sure don’t go to a lot of them. However, if there is one I’m really looking forward to is Gregory Larin’s, and today’s the day. I can’t wait to see all of Gregory’s creations up close and personal for the first time. To think of the long way this wicked designer has gone through, and finally now a commercial collection! Over the years Gregory enjoyed playing between the lines of art and design and to witness a wearable collection is truly a dream come true. As always, I expect to see lots of skeletons bones and in between. BTW, all I can really see are seahorses…
