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...

Chocolate in Europe is so much better than in the states. I looooved chocolate & churros in Spain.

that is maybe the cutest edible thing i have ever seen. so cute, i almost wouldn't want to bite the head of that poor, unsuspecting hedgehog.

but, of course, i would. you look darling as well!

amanda said...

I might have to travel to Greece just to get my very own chocolate hedgehog!

The "camera" picture is too cute. I love the couture pose in the last one, too -- it highlights how killer your body is, in a strange way.

jayne said...

Ah! I'm so excited. I'm going to Athens over spring break, and that is definitely a spot I'll have to hit.
That outfit is adorable by the way, and I LOVE that camera necklace.
How do you stay so skinny??!

those chocolates look sooo good. your outfit looks great, i love that skirt.

susie_bubble said...

Happy chocolate eating doesn't cause weight gain...that's what I tell myself anyhow....

Ca said...

That skirt, that blue colour!

Alysia said...

I knew Leonidas was a chain but I didn't realise how world-wide it was. Interesting. I wasn't impressed by my frist foray into their chocolates but I'll give them a second chance. :)

Savvy Mode SG said...

looks totally yummy!!!!

Susanna-Cole said...

Oh dear now I'm hungry. :P And I adore both your outfits, you have such great taste! And I especially adore the first of the last set of 4 photos... perfect pose, you look like a ballerina or something of the sort, so graceful! :)
