Outfit details: dress- H&M, shoes- Urban Outfitters, bag- Ruche, sunglasses- street vendor
To transition from that place and into a costume for the evening is as smooth and yet as magical as selkie slipping free of her seal skin. Boldness embues a masked person, their anonymity making them free to be whomever they want and frequently who they want to be changes in the blink of an eye. Unpredictable and uncharacteristic; I danced in the center of a room while others stood still.

ahh how chic! are you a cat burglar?! cos that would be great. ooo random china. i ♥ the flower-shaped plate with the gold edges. and yes - i too am familiar with being the only person dancing in a room. it's a funny feeling.
I love little thrifting adventures - did you buy anything?
Great photos.

Your b&w dress is so adorable!!! Cute pics in the mask as well! :o)
aah! those thrift shops look so exciting! i love exploring piles of supposed 'junk'. treasure chest fun!
checked dress is adorable and you look amazing in your costume! all black ensemble with red lips! love it! :D
That reminds me of a flea market near my house, the one where I got the $50 Jill Stuart dress. Great mask! Forgive me if I'm being a dunce, but I'm not quite sure exactly what you where dressed up as, no offense. Whatever it is (a cat?) I love it!
oh God! a cutiepie!
i love how you look with that mask - also, I think it was a great idea to take this photos using a flash, just look like a thief caught in the act!
I'm totally obsessed with that grey bag and your costume looks simply wonderful.
This is my favorite, most poetic post ever. You're wearing my favorite gingham check dress, and the costume change is brilliant.
The gingham dress looks gorgeous on you. I love the costume too.
Ooh, your hair looks so cute in the costume photos.
magical.
the flea market sounded insanely special.

your costume is so simple yet so perfect.
hope you had a lovely weekend in paradise.

you look lovely in that mask.
Congrats on finding the sweet flea market! My town lacks in the vintage department as well... the anything neat department, really :).
My boyfriend and I saw this huge sign for a farmers market in town. We got up early, went down to the site, and there were literally 5 stands, none of which had fruits or vegetables :-/.
You look so chic and enigmatic in your Halloween outfit.
its true. a mask can do wonders for a person
i always do the unexpected if i happen to wear one!
and it is a great asset to be cute - your style is just as refreshing as any of the vogue paris girls!
Your posts make me want to go on exchange next year!
The flea market looks lovely. Your costume is very chic and I love the pictures.
I love the mask pictures. There is a slight Maggie Gyllenhaal quirk to them.
Yes, i do know better,jeje [:)]: although it has been a looong tine since i do not live anymore in athens, you try these vint-2nd hand stores:
1. Amerikaniki Agora (=american market).Going down the sofokleous street towards Athinas street, turn left in Athinas street, walk a couple of mins until you see sth like a little church(yes),then turn left in the "stoa/στοά"(=i think you call it "lodge",which means the entrance, in this case the entrance to the building that is in the left of the littl church).In the second floor, or third, you have the intage store you need.
2. In the same street from which you were going heading to Athinas Street, well in Solwnos(i do not remember the number but it is on the blovk before you turn left to Athinas street)you will also find a second hand clothes market, also called "Amerikaniki agora"(they import from USA,that's why they have the same name).It is also in a "Stoa", in your left hand, you have to climb up to a stair that leads you in an old Athenas house, with tones of clothes!(honestly, i got there 600kilos of clothes for the Trash In Fashiob festival that i organised for 300euros, what left from the festival i gave it to the homeless, with the help of the Major of Athens.Just an extra info because you do not get short answers with me!)It is just beside the "Kreatagora"(=meat market).
3. In Kallidromeiou street -in Eksarxeia- (again i do not remember the number, how could i?!) you have "Yesterday's bread" with 2nd hand from Holland mainly. It is in your left hand, after you turn in Kallidromeiou from Ippokrati street, or to your right hand if you turn to Kallidromeiou from Stournari street. It is a small store with rather expensive stuff(10-20euros)for its small variety.
4. In the neighboorhood of Pagkrati, in Frunis street (there is a bus/trollei station just across the street:if you catch trollei No2 or 11 it is the second one in Frunis, the same goes for the bus No 209 if i am not wring), you have a rather peuliar second hand store but for that it is kinda my favourite one:they have second hand clothes for the not priviliged;that is their public is poor inmigrants that cannot afford new and expensive ones from Zara;how would they know that there are people that prefer second hand clothes?!It is on a basement on your left hand.It is rather big but eatch time there is only one piece that worths the while.You should check my photos with clothes from that store if i wasn't bored enough to put them in internet!o well...
That's all for now!
Enjoy Athens!
cheers from bcn!!
I love flea markets. Plus I also love your mask!
Looove the dress and that costume looks wonderful!

aww, i am so happy one of your commentators gave you a list of places to go! the fash blogsophere is so awesome.
your costume was FAB! your mask fits you so well.
"To transition from that place and into a costume for the evening is as smooth and yet as magical as selkie slipping free of her seal skin." Poetic, and very nice (:
I love the photos on this post and both outfits are super awesome!
I love finding little shops like that, they're so inspiring!
what a cute post - i love the juxtaposition between daytime and nighttime outfits :)
p.s i tagged you (if you can be bothered!)
take care x
Wow...I'm saving those tips from kioki_dina....
Amazing costume... love how you bothered for Halloween despite being abroad
i really like both outfits. they're adorable.
You look beautiful!
amazing costume, the mask rocks!
I love your blackandwhite dress and the mask pics are awesome!
you look too cute. but aren't we are hiding behind various masks throughout the day?
Lovin' the red lips!
I don't mind the overexposition, those last four pictures are the cutest fashion shots I've seen lately!
the costume is so adorable. you look kinda like a really young cat woman!
Ah you always have such gorgeous pictures! Both outfits are cute, but goodness, that mask, just takes the cake! :D
xoxo,
S-C
Oh I love your masked photos! You remind me of Michelle Pfieffer as Catwoman in Batman Returns :D
loves! the adventures, the dress(es), the vintage stores, the mask!!! unfortunately, dover has proven to have a similar dearth of antique/vintage shopping opportunities. :P
Great outfits! Your costume is too chic for Halloween! I love the sequined mask.
I love the mask! Did you make it yourself? I'm looking for a mask to go to a masquerade party!
Wow, that place looks so wonderful... treasures all over!
Great mask, so mysterious!
What a wonderful little outfit you found for halloween!
such a cute costume
You look lovely! And that first dress.. I'll never get sick of it!
i adore both outfits!! love the mask and you're looking very cute in the checked dress
i love the outfit and your pictures!
especially the red with the black and white check :)
I love these mask shots w/ the bright red lips. they are perfection!
Good luck on the Athenian vintage hunt!
Hah! I see you did get the old Lookbook account back up!
I was a cat for halloween (at the first party I was at last weekend), and I made my ears out of little buns too. Creativity reigns when you don't want to spend money for a costume. My tail was one leg of a pair of tights... haha!
So well-written. You really made my mind drift away while reading your words. I imagined you had lots of fun while wearing your fabulous costume!
Good luck with the vintage hunting in Athens. I hope you will find kioki_dina's advice helpful, but the problem deeper: Greek people don't have a "second hand" mentality. I did a post about this back in April:

love the mask!! you should wear red lipstick more!
You seem to be having such a great time in Athens my dear :) I am studying abroad next Fall, and I absolutely cannot wait!
hey we are doing a recurrent post on what's inside your bag..Would you make us the honour to show the content of yours?
Amazing mask, so mysterious!
I just adore your writing, so poetic.
I love your mask! Greatness. And you must be having the best time and weather! I'm already wraped in sweaters.

too cute, i really want a mask.

Love your total black costume!
Good for you! That's very sex-ay!
Pain it is not to have access to good vintage and thrift stores. Perth has too many rich people and that kind stores don't exist here...(not that much anyway)
your costume is so gorgeous, especially the mask
LOVES IT.. and those photos are fantastic!
the checkered dress looks really great on you!
those shots with the mask are amazing!!! and i love all those tea cups!!
you look so adorable!
that flea market sounds absolutely amazing!
Also - loving the mask/costume. You look great!
