Since posting the photo of the tichel I wore for a concert, I’ve been subtly (and not so subtly) urged to post a video of the recital it was from! Well, the videos are finally up! If you have the time, definitely read my husband’s writing on the piece – it’s incredible. Obviously listening to all four movements (the whole piece) in a row is best, but if you must choose one, please listen to the 3rd movement because it has the most awesome cello solo ever! (And it’s a love song.)

First Movement:

Second Movement:

Third and Fourth Movements:

My tichel matches my… cello?

As I was playing today my husband noticed that my tichel matched my cello! Well… not quite, but close enough!

Soooo I am wearing my two new favourite tichels from the summer line! These ombre two in ones are so awesome!!!! They’re very light and durable and I’m finding that adding one is like adding three new scarves without adding any bulk! And this brown pashmina (we named it Andrea’s Brown because I’m so crazy about it) is just… so yummy! I can’t even explain why I love it so much… it’s just such a special color! And these pins – Rivka Malka and I had doubts about these… they actually aren’t so great off a tichel, but ON a tichel! Wow! Made for it! My husband says they remind him of grapes 🙂 They just add so much… very happy!

Sending so much love and happiness to all of you!! Play on!
Love, Andrea xo

I hadn’t worn my favourite gold scarf for a while, so it was time to break it out! I did a high wrap around my bun and then looped the ends around, fastening them in a single knot at the side. I added an antique pin for extra security (doesn’t hurt the eyes, either!) Later on in the day, I added the turquoise sash to add extra interest.

For the outfit, I wore a dress that is often hard to match, but lo and behold, has orange, gold and a bit of turquoise in it! I wore a longer, swingy skirt underneath because I was going to be playing cello (aka long skirts are necessary!), an cream shell, gold earrings, and lace flats. All in all, it was comfortable, modest, beautiful, and feminine! This will likely be one of my new favourite outfit/tichel combos!

It’s the simple things…

… that seem to get the most notice 🙂

Yesterday for a performance, I wore this square “silk” scarf (it can’t be silk… cost 10nis aka <$3 in the Jerusalem market) with a complimentary headband. Instead of letting the tails hang down the back, I pulled them to the side. Of course, everyone that commented on it was surprised to find out that this is something I do every day and wasn’t just for fashion.
