Gray inspiration || Inspiración gris

January 12, 2015 by Yael Leave a Comment

B”H

In case you thought I’d stay flying in some spiritual world after the last post on klipat nogah, and I wouldn’t come down, I’m here to show you how I land. Let’s just say I like to keep myself grounded, so I landed by gathering inspiration on one of my favorite colors. You guessed it, gray!

En caso de que pensaron que me iba a quedar volando en un mundo espiritual luego del ultimo post sobre klipat nogah, hoy les muestro como aterrizo. Digamos que me gusta mantener los pies en la tierra, así es que aterricé juntando inspiración sobre uno de mis colores favoritos. ¡El gris!

I know gray has had its moment in interior design over the past few years, and for a good reason. Although I didn’t embrace gray in interiors until recently, I have been a fan of gray in fashion ever since I started living in fall and winter weather (a long time!). Gray outfits will always take me back to fall mornings heading out the door to work or class – the coziness of the grey outfit vs. the invigorating cool air. Gray is my go to color once fall comes in. Some might say boring; I say classic and elegant…always!

Ya se que el gris ha estado muy de moda en el mundo de diseño interior en los últimos años, y por buena razón. Aunque yo no adopte el gris en interiores hasta recientemente, si he sido fanática del gris en moda desde que comencé a vivir en climas con otoño e invierno (¡mucho tiempo!).  Los ajuares grises siempre me recordaran a las mañanas de otoño saliendo a clases o al trabajo. Es mi color preferido una vez comienza el otoño. Algunos dicen que es aburrido; yo digo que es clásico y elegante…¡siempre!

So here’s a few of my favorite recent gray finds.

Así es que estos son algunos de mis recientes descubrimientos grises favoritos.

1|| Zara Gray Top: I owned a gray top very similar to this one, years ago. I adore the simplicity, elegance and functionality of this blouse. A fall and winter must have, especially if you work outside the home.

1|| Top Gris de Zara: Hace años tenía una blusa similar a esta. Me fascina la simplicidad, elegancia y funcionalidad de esta blusa. Perfecta para otoño e invierno, especialmente para las que trabajan fuera de la casa. 

2|| Gray Coat: I love a gray coat. I own one that I had made in Shanghai and it’s short and an interesting asymmetric cut, but it’s not the most practical, so it doesn’t come out of the closet much. I’ve been on the lookout for a classic gray coat like this one for a while.

2|| Chaqueta Gris: Amo una chaqueta gris. Yo tengo una que mande a hacer en Shanghai hace años pero al ser corta y con un corte asimétrico interesante, no es la mas práctica, así que no sale mucho del armario. He estado buscando una chaqueta gris clásica como esta un buen rato. 

3|| Gray Superga: Superga reminds me so much of my youth. I owned several pairs (navy, of course and baby blue) and I travelled all of Israel with them and many other places. But, gray! My goodness, they are so good.

3|| Superga Grises: Los Superga me recuerdan tanto a mi juventud. Tuve varios pares (azul marino, por supuesto, y azul claro) y viaje Israel y otras partes del mundo con ellos. ¡Pero, grises! ¡Están muy chulos en gris!

4|| Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater: I own a few cashmere sweaters and although they are an investment, let me just say this… better spend in one and wear it for ten years or more- dress it up, dress it down, you decide- than to blow your clothing budget with a few dollars here and a few dollars there in trendy cheap stuff that will last you one season at best. Not to mention, it will be out of style by next season. Save your pennies and invest in classics and in quality.

4|| Cuello Tortuga de Cashmere: Yo tengo unos cuantos sweaters de cashmere y aunque son una inversión monetaria, déjenme decir esto… mejor gastar en uno y usarlo por diez años o mas- vestirlo o vestirlo menos, como quieran- que romper todo el presupuesto de ropa con unos dólares aquí y unos dólares allá en cosas muy de moda baratas que duraran una temporada, como mucho. Además, para la próxima temporada estarán pasadas de moda. Mejor ahorrarse el dinero e invertir en clásicos y en calidad.

5|| BM Classic Gray: This has become my favorite gray paint color. Although if you’re in the hunt for gray paint you should definitely check out blogs that specifically talk only about gray, like A Perfect Gray. (Funny, no? Maybe, but, I appreciate the blog.) You can also read Emily Henderson’s guide to grays here. I have Benjamin Moore’s Classic Gray in our master bedroom and I absolutely adore it. It’s the perfect gray no matter what light of day. I have BM Revered Pewter, another good gray, in another room in our home, and even though I like it, I prefer Classic Gray. Gray paint can be tricky so always test samples on the wall. Although you should do this with every paint color, I’d say you must do this with gray.

5|| Gris Clásico de Benjamin Moore: Este es mi color de pintura gris favorito. Si están buscando pintura gris, definitivamente lean blogs que se dedican sólo a discutir el color gris, como A Perfect Gray. (¿Cómico, no? Tal vez, pero, aprecio su blog.) También pueden leer la guía de colores de pintura gris de Emily Henderson aquí. Tengo Gris Clásico de Benjamin Moore en las paredes de nuestro dormitorio y me fascina. Es el gris perfecto, no importa que luz del día. Tengo también Revered Peewter de BM en otro cuarto en mi casa y aunque es también un buen gris, aún me gust mas el Gris Clásico de BM. Las pinturas grises son difíciles así es que siempre prueben muestras en la pared. Deberían hacer esto con todos los colores, pero con gris yo diría que tienen que hacerlo. 

6|| Slick Slate: I discovered this nail polish almost four years ago, and I still love it and still get tons of questions about it. The color is amazing, dries really fast, and it’s cheap.

6|| Slick Slate: Descubrí este color de pinta uñas hace casi cuatro años y aún me encanta y aún recibo muchísimas preguntas sobre el mismo. El color es maravilloso, seca rápido y es barato. So, do you love the color gray as much as I do?

¿Les encanta el color gris tanto como a mi?

    I loved being part of your podcast, I had no idea what to expect and it was refreshing as a Jewish woman to participate in your podcast. Your questions related to what I do, combined with Judaism gave me a lot to think about. I love getting new questions instead of the typical “why did you start the project?” which is important but I’m glad you gave it a twist. I hope your listeners enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed being part of it! Thanks for challenging me to think about my topic and religion as one.

    Yael is a gifted and intuitive writer. So impressed was our staff, that the Jewish Herald-Voice offered her a monthly column, "Defining Jewish Women." We have received only positive feedback and our readers look forward to the third Thursday of every month. In between, I personally follow her blog and gain much insight into myself through her words and emotions.

  • Gila SimchaGila Simcha

    What a treat to hear Yael speak at the Jewish Women's Retreat in San Antonio. Her presentation, "Mi Casa es Su Casa, The Kabbalah of the Home" inspired me to express my Judaism in a way that speaks to my creative side and love of all things chic without compromising my true self and style. I'm so glad I got the chance to hear her message of creativity and Torah. Bravo!

  • Sandy FrydbergSandy Frydberg

    I enjoyed your presentation very much. Your way of presenting material is your strongest asset. You are organized, friendly and approachable, and you speak beautifully, including when you incorporated Jewish teachings in Hebrew. I would be happy to learn from you as you make it fun and interesting.

  • Tina GrossTina Gross

  • Shoshana BonnShoshana Bonn

    I am writing to share how much I enjoyed your presentation on the kabbalah of home at the 55th N'shei Chabad convention in San Antonio, Texas. Your vivacious speaking style, the clarity with which you made your points, and your warmth toward your audience made this one of the best breakout sessions I attended. You offered both depth of Jewish knowledge and perspective on how this applied to people's individual situations. I look forward to my next opportunity to hear you speak.

    Yael y JLP son muy especiales para mi. Fue gracias a JLP que me di la oportunidad de intentar nuevamente preparar Challah para mi familia - desde que JLP publico la Challah que nunca falla en nuestra mesa hay hermosas y deliciosas Challah todos los Shabbat y en las festividades. Soy una foodie así que no me pierdo las recetas que publica y hasta ahora han sido un éxito total, sin contar que me inspira la bellísima presentación de los platos y como presentar una hermosa,  sencilla y a la vez elegante mesa para nuestra familia e invitados.

    In preparation for my wedding, I had the opportunity to learn with Yael. Creativity aside, she is a wealth of knowledge, both passionate and practical, about what she teaches and how she teaches it. I'm also proud to say that through our experience together she has become a great friend and is someone that I can I always talk to.

  • Melinda SilberMelinda Silber
    Yael can be defined as “refreshing inspiration.” She is well-versed in an array of topics from Jewish femininity to design details. Every time I hear her at a speaking engagement or in passing conversation, she always brings an awareness of Jewish femininity to the forefront, constantly reminding women of their spiritual role and importance in ‘everyday’ things. I was thrilled that she passed this concept on, along with her deep knowledge of Judaism, to my daughter during their Bat Mitzvah lessons together. Yael always rises to the occasion (no pun intended) with her eye for design and attention to details. Her subtle palette, creativity and organizational skills are her recipe to success!
  • Vanesa KreindelVanesa Kreindel

    Estoy inmensamente feliz de haber conocido a Yael. En ella no solo encontré una persona con inmenso talento, sino que también encontré una gran amiga que abre su corazón y te contagia su alegría, creatividad y armonía. Me fascina leer su blog - en el siempre encuentro algún nuevo “tip” y también disfruto muchísimo de las clases de mujeres que nos da mensualmente.

  • Anat ChenAnat Chen

    My daughter Stav had her Bat Mitzvah a few months ago.  I wanted Stav to go into her 'Bat Mitzvah' understanding the meaning of the term, and with the knowledge of how to apply it to her life. Even though she learns in a Jewish Orthodox school, I felt that she needed extra learning and inspiration for her coming of age.  Luckily, I knew Yael from before, and heard that she teaches Bat Mitzvah classes.  I had a feeling that this would be a good match... I wasn't wrong :)

    Yael teaches ancient ideas in a modern way.  Stav came back from classes inspired, thinking and asking herself questions.  I'm thankful that my daughter had the opportunity to learn with Yael for her Bat Mitzvah in a interesting, welcoming and inspiring way.

    Yael has creativity, vision, and energy, and she uses them all to the fullest for her clients. She came up with the color scheme, all the accessories, the overall “look” of the day, and I just happily and gratefully followed along. But I don’t want you to think it’s only what Yael wants, Yael does. She asked me for input every step of the way. She always checked in with me about what she was buying, what she thought we should have at the party, and she was always conscious of budget. I wanted everything she suggested, but I know that if there had been anything I wasn’t keen to have, she would have changed it until she found something that I loved. She wanted my daughter and me to be happy with everything. We weren’t happy – that’s too meager a word – we were elated!!! Working with Yael was such a pleasant and joyful experience. And those are two words I don’t use lightly when it comes to describing planning an event.

  • Elisheva GolaniElisheva Golani

    Yael helped me style my son's upshernish as well as my living room. She is wonderful to work with! She is talented and extremely organized which is super helpful! She has an incredible eye and knows how to beautify absolutely anything!
