'There is nothing better than simple, comfortable, quality clothing.'
She adds 'My work means I’m travelling all the time, rushing from city to city and wearing the most incredible, elaborate designs. I love it, but on my downtime I just want to relax and be myself.'

She is currently enjoying a trip overseas which has included a visit to London.

But things have gone a little awry for jetsetter Bar Refaeli, who claims she was violated by a security officer at an airport.

The Israel supermodel tweeted about the ordeal to her fans, explaining that a female officer went a little too far with a routine patdown.

The brunette beauty told her followers that the incident left her contemplating the woman's 'sexual preferences'.

'I got a security "patdown" by a woman at the airport that made me feel very uncomfortable and left no doubt about her sexual preferences,' she wrote on the social networking site.

The incident came after Bar was left red faced when an unidentified man jumped into her car to hand a solitary flower while on a night out in London last night.

Too much: The Israel supermodel tweeted about the ordeal to her fans, explaining that the woman went a little too far with a routine patdown

The man, who was part of Bar's group, jumped into their waiting car after purchasing the rose outside the Arts Club in Dover Street, central London.

However, the model appeared embarrassed by the gesture, covering her face and laughing.
She was dressed in a denim shirt, with dark beige trousers and tan boots.

With temperatures taking a dip in the capital Bar wrapped up in a dark grey coat and leopard print scarf.

Her group left the Arts Club and arrived at the Embassy Club in Mayfair shortly after.

The man who bought her the rose was seen leaving around 3am, without Bar herself.

Evidently, it takes more than a rose to whisk her off her feet.

Regret: The model worried about posting this pic of her photo altered on an iPhone app
Bar also posted to photos to Twitter from the capital.

She spent a while on the London Eye, tweeting photos from the famous tourist attraction which offers breathtaking panoramic views across London.

She also posted a picture of herself which she'd altered using an app on her iPhone.

Bar wrote: 'This is way too funny to pass on posting it. I may regret it....'
