Maya Levi keeps surprising me time after time and this time is no different with her Two by Two mini collection. The super energetic designer behind Olive Thomas, decided to go back to her graphic designer roots and created the most vibrant digital prints of bunch of flamingos (which I need!), horses and penguins. These prints compliment Maya’s three signature shoes so perfectly that I wonder if we’ll see more prints in the future.
AND… that’s not all! As Maya is one of a kind, with every purchase of a pair, she’ll send you a matching t-shirt just for fun.

As I was on my hourly break, on my never ending Instagram feed, I saw the most brilliant paper rings by Yael Friedman on Shira Shoval’s stream… and you know me, I immediately wrote her, needing to know more. That’s when I entered into Yael’s super versatile world and found a lot more rings. Leather rings, paper rings, fabric rings and basically all things rings!
So, as I meant to write about Yale’s paper rings, I fell in love with her animal rings. It almost feels like when wearing it, you carry your very own favorite doll with you in a very stylish and unique manner. I’m hooked! There is no other way to put it.

Whenever you look up, you probably see this sweet little creature, around the streets of Tel Aviv. It was chosen as the face of I am an Other, The Sixth Exhibit of Israeli jewelry at the Eretz Israel Museum. I haven’t been there yet but I feel like this little guy has been following me around… The one behind this super sensitive creation is the young jeweler, Tehila Levi Hyndman. I need to do my thing and find out a lot more about her! I’m sure I’ll be writing about this exhibition once I visit but in the meanwhile I had to share this part gecko part butterfly mixture.

Over the weekend I bumped into the sweet Shelly Dahari and her Beetles mini collection.
I don’t think I know of a word, which can describe how I felt the minute I laid my eyes on them! For real, I couldn’t move for quite some time… So colorful, bright and dramatic, all at the same time. Just like me ;)
Since then (and it was on Friday), I can’t stop thinking about the yellow beetles and the blueish beads. Do you think I should do something about it?
I sure am!

With a brand new web site and an under the sea inspired new collection, Kobi Levi’s sculptural shoes are my guilty pleasure. There is no chance I’ll be able to pull it off but I can star for very long time. The good news is, now you can add these masterpieces to your very own shoe collection which I know exists. Oh, and there is something just for you brave gents out there.

I’ve been meaning to write about Ola Liola’s colorful world for a while…
This is one of those moments where I want to kick myself. Why did it take me so long?!
Anyways, when seeing Ola’s illustrations for the first time, the only thing I could think of was how amazing it would be to experience the world of Alice in wonderland from cover to finish with Ola’s dreamy touch… Yep, I think it would be a once in a life time experience. But, until Ola adopts this brilliant idea I’ll keep on dreaming about asking her to participate in my Illustrated Break…

When your parents go by the name Nirit and Avi Berman, aka the famous jeweler couple, there is no escaping your heritage. While studying industrial design, Noga Berman clearly had a strong attraction to the tiny and shiny little parts in her life. Her brand new NAIVE is a series of sterling silver lapel brooches of these cute little figures. Who doesn’t need a dash of cuteness in his jewelry box? I can certainly use some ;)

When it’s cold and rainy outside, all I want to do is crawl under my duvet. For some reason Yevgeni Krachak’s Homeless animation feels like a good fit. His little creature is searching for a proper home and it’s adorable face expressions make me want to adopt him. I know, I know it’s only an animation… I’m having hard time separating fiction and real life ;)
BTW, Yevgeni is a third year student at the Screen-Based Arts Department at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.

I have a thing for owls, I can’t really explain why but when it comes down to this big headed animal and it’s huge eyes I melt inside…
Adiya Berkovich and her magic hands is the one responsible for all these Buligaia Owls. She manages to capture their lovable face expressions and I just love it!
All I want to do do is grab Owl John (my absolute fav) and cuddle him!

Just one more thing, I really enjoyed the movie Legend of the Guardians. Yep, it’s about owls ;)

Well, well, well isn’t this the most adorable bunch you’ve ever seen?!
Lauren Bradshaw’s Walnut Animal Society is quite a smart and sophisticated group! They say “god is in the details” and in this particular case I’m sure that god is pretty impressed with all the extra thoughtful and stylish add ons.
All is left to say is love me some you ;)
