If you are not familiar with the Wolford brand, you should be. Not only do they make great hosiery, their tops, skirts and dresses are staples that everyone should own. They are a little pricey, but the quality will last you for years. I still wear tights that I bought over 5 years ago, and a dress that was purchased around the same time. Their clothes don’t pill or lose their shape. I recently fell in love with this long sleeve black dress that I know I will wear for many years to come. The heavy cotton fabric is perfect for traveling as it doesn’t crease. Its ruched and asymmetrical design which, when pulled down past the knee, make it perfectly conservative yet sexy all at the same time. The shoes are the piece de résistance, purchased in Toronto at the store, Winners, for a mere $129.00! If you are traveling to Toronto, I advise you to visit this store. It makes Marshalls and TJ Maxx look like amateurs! I received this whimsical clutch as a gift for my birthday and I love it; it goes with everything and heightens the simplicity of this dress in exactly the way a great accessory should.

  I suppose that you could call me patriotic. I was born and raised a Canadian Jew, lived in Israel for a year, and became a U.S. citizen in 2001. So even though I am a lover of the red and the white, (Canada), the red, white and blue, (America), my heart belongs to the blue and the white (Israel). This Thursday is Yom Ha’atzmaut, also known as Israel’s Independence Day. This young country, (it was declared a state in 1948), is a start up nation of the highest degree. From the cell phone you store in your pocket to the e-book you are reading on your Kindle, to the cherry tomatoes you just popped into your mouth, this tiny country is responsible for some of the most important and indispensible advancements in health, technology and lifestyle.

  In honor of Israel’s birthday I decided to put together an outfit comprised entirely of blue and white. I love these white jeans by McGuire, which are cropped, flared and frayed at the bottom. I have been front-tucking my tops for many years, as it adds interest to an outfit, defines the waist and minimizes an oversized shirt. In the case of this shapeless top, I needed a little waist definition. My heels give me the height I so desperately crave, (if I stand up straight, I am a whopping 5’3 1/2”), and prevent me from getting a stiff neck from looking up to Jeff (6’1 1/2”)…who I request to be seated any time I have something important to discuss!

  Happy Birthday Eretz Yisrael…Happy Birthday to us all!
