Food For Your Thoughts

I think I'm going to roll out of Athens weighing twice as much as I did when I first came and if so, the culprit will definitely be Leonidas chocolates. I walk past the store every day on the way to class and nearly every day I stop in to try a different treat and pilfer from the sample dish. Lately, I seem live off a diet of white chocolate and fruit--my roommates might be getting concerned...

Outfit details: shirt- Zara, skirt- F21, shoes- Urban Outfitters, cardigan- H&M, bag- Ruche, sunnies- street vendor, necklace some shop in Japan

Everyone really liked my headphones from the last outfit post and they certainly cause a stir whenever I wear them! They are from Japan and I can't remember the name of the store. But if you're every in 4 Pla in Sapporo and you run across a store that screams "super kawaii!" you will find those headphones as well as other variations including some with giant gems...

  • Out There Live
    I have some pictures to share from my first official day in Athens. We went to an area called Syntagma Square (correct me if I don't spell something correctly!) which has a number of shops and some good places to eat. My first official and completely delicious gyros in Greece was consumed here. I can still feel the party in my mouth...
  • That Touch Of Whimsy
    I'm back to my hair fancies addiction. Winter really offers the oppurtunity to express your whismy on your legs and your head. Layered and unique stockings transform limbs into quirky storybook characters with personalities all their own. While the necessity to stay warm has led to numerous creations for the head; intent upon more than just locking your body heat in.

    I should be throwing some last things into my suitcase to prepare for a friend who is driving me to the airport in 20 minutes. Yikes! But like a true addict, I just wanted to throw one post out before I depart. These pictures were taken at the community garden on my campus. Students choose what to plant and then work in it year round. Now our cafeteria actually purchases some of their produce.
  • Settling Into Daily Life
    The last couple of days have quietly passed away in Athens. I have done so much traveling since my arrival here that it is nice to slowly savor the city that will be my home for the next few months. I have acquainted myself with some of the major shopping streets, befriended the local pigeons, and tasted enough Leonidas chocolates to rot my teeth.
  • You Know Never To Trust A Person In A Mask...
    Athens might be a dearth as far as thrift and vintage shops are concerned (if you know better, please point me in the correct direction), however near the fruit market we frequent we stumbled across what was promised to us as "the best flea market in Athens." Through ancient doors crammed with oddities and up a spiraling decrepit staircase to a sprawling floor packed with curiosities we wander.
  • Behold: The Mountain
    I went up for another bit of hike on "the mountain" (Mt. Rainier) since my sister has come to visit us here for a little while. We had gloriously perfect weather and the sky was brilliant, so this time around we could see the peak while on our walks. I really enjoy the variety of scenery you can see: meadows filled with wildflowers, canyons, waterfalls, rocky peaks, etc.
  • My Fickle Heart
    I am usually a very steadfast individual, however I must confess to a fickle heart. My loves and passions (in regards to accessories) are quite frequent and fleeting. In this moment, it is quite easy to name the love of my life: a new pair of black shoes that lace at the ankle to embrace my foot. With a firm grasp clasp me tight and I feel my feet rise off the ground.
  • Neither Here Nor There
    It is a rather striking phenomenon that half of the world lives in summer as others endure winter.

  • Borrowed History
    I have been borrowing my father's tripod lately. The tripod was bought (along with a 35 mm camera I am also in the habit of using) several years before I was born. It's rather fascinating to use a tool that is older than I am...

    Apparently backpacks are hot again. If you didn't know before, you know now. And if you don't believe me, just ask Lulu.

  • Holiday Splendor
    Nasha has been swept away by seasonal bliss. Between sparkling white grounds coated in a fine crystalline dust and twinkling, colorful lights the world seems transformed into some fairytale vistage of beauty. Being a very young Labbit, this is her first Christmas and her first snow. Although Christmas day is still many days away, putting Nasha to bed every night is a burden.
  • Caught In An Icy Grip
    Flakes swirl thick and white past the window, more like a swarm of angry bees than delicate pieces of ice. In a fury they seem to fall swift and fast, intent upon mastering the ground. They cover every possible inch, determined to leave no sign of life or patch of green exposed.
