If you've been following me for a bit then you probably know by now how passionate I am about Israel and how important my Jewish identity is to me.

I apologize for yet another anti-athleisure rant, but here goes. My fellow mamas often say to me, "How do you always look so cute? I just don't have the energy!"

I'll watch almost anything in the documentary genre on Netflix, but if it has to do with Egypt or outer space, I'm not going to miss it--equally enchanting, but wildly different topics, that is, unless you think aliens built the pyramids.

The new take on this granny-chic, classic style is a more-is-more, ornate-meets-whimsical look, with an eclectic collection of baubles fastened to just about anything from a jean jacket to a handbag.
