Style Musings: Sushi!

Last Saturday (6/9) was my sisters birthday.  Happy Birthday!  We celebrated on Friday by going out to sushi.  We went to our favorite sushi place: Haruki.  It was yummy.  My favorite sushi is tuna. 

 This is what I decided to wear.  First I started with my new shorts from Express.  They have a really cool tribal print.  I don't really have much to match them, so I had to decide between my mint tank and this green top.  The mint tank looked good, but it's notoriously cold in Haruki.  So I was a little less miserable in the green top.   

When it comes to shoes, I'm not really sure.  I think I need classic flats or sandals in a single color.  Any suggestions?  

Style Musings: Rainy Day

I'm still in school. It's just a math class, so it's not stressful.  This is what I wore to class the other day.

  

 Of course I wore my light pink Forever 21 blazer! To mix it up, I matched it up with my BDG green jeans.

 I tried some pattern mixing with my H&M leopard print top and Forever 21 floral flats. I think it works. What do you think?

Style Musings: Matzah Ball

Happy Passover! Passover is my favorite holiday. I love the story, the symbolism, the food, and the four glasses of wine! I'm one of the few people who actually like gefilte fish. It's a mix of pike and whitefish all mashed up and rolled into a round-ish shape. Matzah ball soup is amazing. And if you've never had charoset, you haven't lived. Charoset is chopped apples, chopped nuts, and cinnamon, all drenched in some red wine. It's so good! It reminds us of the mud that the Jews used to build the pyramids when they were enslaved in Eygpt.

For this spring celebration, I wanted to wear something bright. I slipped on a pair of cobalt Forever 21 jeans. After some consideration, I wore a green Forever 21 top. I knew I wanted to wear a pair of floral Forever 21 flats. To bring in the pink from the flats, I wore Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense lipstick in #33, a satin fresh pink. I added some bling with a pair of vintage-inspired Jennie Boston earrings and a Hebrew nameplate necklace that I got in Israel.

My Passover was so much fun. I loved being with friends and family. And I loved my outfit! Don't mind my crazy faces. You try to take good pictures of yourself after more than four glasses of wine. And don't mind the messy room. How was your Passover/Easter?

Simple and Chic

I think this is one of my favorite outfits. I started with a pair of Gap jeans. Then I added a black rouched shirt, courtesy of Last Tango. I got it in Florida. The grey Forever 21 cardigan was added for texture. Looking at the outfit, I thought I needed some color.

This necklace was perfect. My grandma gave it to me. If you look carefully, you can see the dragons! To match the green stone, I thought of my bracelet.

I got this bracelet in Israel. I don't wear it nearly enough. As for the mixed metals, I think it works. It would be too matchy-matchy, in my opinion, if I wore only one metal.

Criticism:

I don't really have any. I like the way the sleeves of the shirt stick out from under the cardigan. The only thing is I wish I were a little smoother. But I'm working on that.

Stay smooth!
