Taking It To The Streets

Yesterday, as I was walking home from class a young woman (with pink eyeliner!) stopped me and asked if she could take my picture (I was wearing the plaid dress below). It turns out she runs a street fashion site here in Athens, Greece. She was super friendly and I was quite flattered to have her ask--I've never had anyone else take my picture before! Though, I was too shy to tell her about my own blog I did learn a little bit about her.
Her site is only a couple of months old and she takes only one or two photos per day and not all of them work out. Hel-looks is her favorite street fashion site and she studied in Finland a few years ago.
So, it seems everyone's wishes for some Athens street fashion have been answered. Visit Streetgeist for regularily updated Greek street style and maybe in a few days a photo of me will be up...
Outfit details: jacket- H&M, dress- some shop in Japan, belt- secondhand, socks- Thank You Mart, shoes- Urban Outfitters, bag- Pull and Bear
Outfit details: dress- H&M, jacket- H&M, tights- some shop in Japan, shoes- Urban Outfitters, bag- Pull and Bear
Pssst...I also got a mention here.

I can't believe you're going home soon! Will you be back for the xmas dinner?!

Might as well.

I'd probably do the same if I see you on the street. You're a beauty.

Love that bag with the black and white checked shirt dress. Entire outfit is adorable.

The graffiti in the second outfit picture is insane! What an awesome find. And it's no wonder you got shot, you always look great!

Happy Thanksgiving! How does one celebrate the occasion in Athens?

Emily said...

Congrats on getting the mention on the Glamour blog! And how cool to be photographed for a street style site! :) I'm loving your shoes in these photos. My grandmother gave me a pair very similar that she no longer wears, but sadly they are a tad too big for me.

Nadine said...

It's soo nice she asked :)... and you look great as always. I like your tights!

KD said...

Both outfits are definitely worthy of streetstyle shots - so cute!

jayne said...

awesome! you deserve it too! btw love the knee socks!

Jimena said...

you look like such a cutie in these photos - I am officially in love with this yellow bag now (and with that jacket!). As happy as I am that summer is starting here, looking at these photos make me long for jackets and socks again..... tricky tricky.

btw, I'm glad to hear your Budapest trip went well, you are very lucky to be living such experiences.

Fannah said...

God, that's so cool! I want that to happen to me too, haha.. Love the dress by the way (both of them)!

lisa said...

Nice one!

The Stylish Wanderer said...

Wow, that is awesome!

I love the last outfit.

Wanderlusting said...

Sweet! Yay for you, I've always hoped a fashion blogger would spot me except: A)I have no idea if I'm really that fashionable and B) none such really exists in my city.

I still like to get dressed though and PRETEND that it could happen :)

The pics are lovely btw, great coat!

Brittany Noel said...

That bag is gorgeous! I love with both of those outfits. Congrats on being on the Glamour site! Have a happy Thanksgiving in Greece!

chocandcinnamon said...

♥ Chloe said...

Darling as always. I can see why she wanted to take your picture! You always look great. :)

K.Line said...

Wow - I love this story and I think it's terrific you got the mention in Glamour! Excellent, R!

pretty face said...

Your bag is a lovely colour accent. And the dress is gorgeous. Must. Stop. Gushing.

What sort of temperature is it in Athens? Judging from your jacket it's probably no way near as cold as England, but colder than countries where it's summer right now. Mild winter? x

Luxe. said...

I'm not suprised she asked you, you always look so cute!!

lopi said...

I'm so excited for the great news you bring! A greek street style blog? At last! And it's actually good too! I couldn't help it, I already did a post on it so all of my greek readers could pick it up. Thank you so much!
Happy thanksgiving!

This is absolutely my kind of outfit. Both of them actually. AND I really want a mustard-yellow tote! It speaks for itself.
And you sound super international. Where have you traveled?
