Caty Behavior

Hey guys,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Kerri got me these cute tights for my birthday so I wore them with a simple black outfit and my fabulous Tel-Aviv necklace. I actually braved the mall yesterday if you can believe it. I usually stay far far away from malls the day after major holidays but my Mom was going to get me flat black boots for my birthday, per my request, and we still hadn't found the right pair, so we thought we'd hit up the major sales. I am happy to report we left the house and were back within 2 hours. I like to get in and out, and the majority of the time was spent in the parking lot, trying to find a spot. We found the PERFECT pair and I cant wait to post them!! Stay tuned!!

Dress: H&M $25

Tights: gift from Kerri

Booties: Target $30

Necklace: Castro in Tel-Aviv

XOXO,

Natalya

I picked-up this fun necklace in Tel-Aviv, Israel at Castro when I visted for two weeks last month. It caught my eye because it is so big and shiny and even jingles when I walk! This outfit would have been quite boring had it not been for this statement necklace - so thank God for that! I wasn't very inspired about what to wear today so the necklace came to my rescue. Some days I wake up inspired and have the image of a fabulous outfit to wear, and then I just accessorize accordingly. Most days however, I have a fabulous accessory of mine in mind and I try to dress the rest of me accordingly...

I'd like to introduce Israel's "Jeggings"

I'd like to introduce you to Israel's hot item - jeggings. And yes, I brought a pair back with me!! I was in Tel-Aviv for 12 days this month and everywhere I went there were billboards featuring "Jeggings, the sexy jean". Jeggings are basically made up of two components - jeans and leggings. Pretty simple, but I had to buy a pair...



Yesterday I paired my new jeggings with a tunic and boots in the outfit shown below:

I had to buy a pair of jeggings even though I would NEVER pay $40 for legging-like items normally. But how often do I find myself in Tel-Aviv (on average about every 2-3 years) so it was well worth the splurge! Jeggings are soft like leggings but have gold stitching up and down the legs and pockets like jeans. Very cool!!

A similar jean-legging is this one by Alloy for $24.90

Tunic: Forever 21 $

Sweater: H&M $10

Belt: Free with Tunic

Discovering Castro

As I was roaming the streets of downtown Tel-Aviv (and yes, it was as awesome as it sounds) I stumbled across Castro, (a men and women's clothing store) and I immediately fell in love. It wasn't long before I was spending my hard-earned shekels on accessories and clothing from....you guessed it...Castro....

FYI - The prices are in shekels, and right now, 3.7 shekels = $1




Here are some of my favorite current Castro items:
