Her Morning Elegance (Not Mine)

So incredibly sweet--nearly too much (hmm...starbucks' next big find?). It doesn't surprise me that the artist, cast, and crew of the video are Israeli. Anyone who's ever spent a reasonable time in Israel gleans that there's a specific sentimentality amidst the rough crowd, a bit cheesier, dreamier, and sweeter than anything I've come across in New York. Maybe it comes with the heightened understanding of how fleeting the moments you have with someone are. I promise I am not a Romantic; the art direction is simply brilliant. It's composed of stills.
