Tel Aviv Nightlife - In the Style of House

DJ Terrence Parker (Detroit) and Chaim (ISR) present an American-Israeli celebration at Tel Aviv’s Breakfast Club Friday night.

This superstar DJ Parker's second visit to Tel Aviv, where he will again dazzle the local crowd with his house-hip hop mega mix, spliced with exclusive Detroit classics doused by Disco and a splash of Tech.

This time, Israel’s rising star, Chaim Avital, will spin records afterwards.

The show will be held on June 8 at 11:30 pm at the Breakfast club, Rothschild 6, Tel Aviv.

High heels, no pain

Does love (for fashion) really have to hurt? If you ask me, not at all. I don't believe in the adage that one must suffer to be beautiful, but zero style is no solution either.

As a model I was given very uncomfortable shoes to work with, but in my personal life I am always looking to find that one shoe combining style with comfort. That is the challenge and I am hoping to introduce as many Israeli footwear brands as possible that fit that bill.

Antelope and Kaya are two names worth remembering when searching for comfort shoes in Israel. Antelope, established in 1982, offers a distinctive summer collection that excels with its variations of heel height and textures. Kaya is focusing more on the older crowd and is offering traditional comfort and design.

Both shops are a sensible solution to women and girls that want to wear high heels but find it hard with the high-concept stilettos.
