Jelly Shoes and More at Story







The new craze is jelly shoes, for those of you yearning for a pair of plastic shoes you can find them here. Story at 246 Disengoff Street, Tel Aviv (corner of Bazel Street) 03-544-8911 carries a wide selection, from flip-flops, sandals, flats and heals and in a variety of bright happy colors. Your feet will not sweat, I was assured, because each shoe has a special sweat absorbing insert.
For those of you that feel jelly shoes are not your thing STORY has some fun and basic pieces. One of my favorite pieces, a red and white gingham cotton top, with a short sleeve and a sweet ruffled edge at the waist and sleeve, it was preppy meets western. I would wear it with a jean bottom and espadrills but if you must then throw on your jellies and go for it.

Overexposure

Over the last couple of years, wearing leggings has become fashionable, and extremely popular. I love the look, if worn correctly. Leggings need to be worn UNDER : a skirt, dress, tunic, or for those of you that are under 25 and can carry it, a mini skirt. Please, if you're not in the gym, or a ballerina, DO NOT wear leggings with a short top or any top that doesn't qualify as a skirt, dress, or tunic! It is not flattering on anyone and no one needs to see the outline of panties, a thong, or whatever else you may have going on under there! So when deciding to wear an outfit with leggings, please check that all is covered!
