Editing this film was becoming too brutal so I just posted all the photos instead. Sorry for the photo overload. This Motel top is beyond beautiful and strangely enough it makes my arms look thinner than they are. I'm giving the designer a star shaped sticker for this accomplishment.

My GiGi Vintage giveaway ends this Sunday so click this, seriously.

Yes, the quality and sound is sad (cough*I'm poor*cough) but I feel like I did when I first discovered blogging, pain.

Many thanks to GiGi Vintage for the fluffy cardigan! I'm also having a GiGi Vintage giveaway, check it out, or I'll make you watch this video again... dan dan daaaaan.

This is a bathroom I could live in and die and then keep living there as a ghost.

So! I've teamed up with GiGi Vintage for a sweet giveaway, this stetement arrow tip necklace I'm wearing as a bracelet.

All you need to do is:

1. Like GiGi Vintage on facebook and write "GiGi Vintage is so awesome!" on their wall.

Do I slightly look like I'm the ghost in a pagan horror movie? Maybe it's all those white and beige colors, I'm sort of drawn to them lately, pastels too. Black is becoming too morbid for me. Obviously I'm not quitting it forever, just taking a break from it.

January: at a house/palace of a friend, standing in the rain and wishing I had a pool like that

March: at the entrance of the Digitaria showroom with Spiros and Stame.

April: with Spiros for a photoshoot by photographer Stame

July: summer vacation on Pico island

up at the lagoas near the tip of Pico mountain, the scenery was hauntingly beautiful

I had the opportunity to observe some traditional Azorean bullfights and accidentally participate in one when one of the bulls jumped in the area where the people were watching. Luckily, no one got hurt, but it was the biggest rush of my life. You can ask me more about it here if you like, it was pretty eventful, or if you have any other wildly inappropriate questions, bring it on.

September: polaroid with George Karabellas, Athina and Spiros at the 2011 FNO in Athens

In case you are not a Hitchhiker's Guide through the Galaxy fan, the title is from the song the dolphins sang as they left Earth to avoid the end of the world, which, coincidentally, has delayed 2 days. So unexpected. I'm very exited that that dreadful 2011 is gone and I hope it never comes back again. It wasn't a good year at all... both economically and psychologically.
It started out ok and my trip to the Azores was wonderful, but then I had to come back to Greece and the crisis and the trash, it was such a huge difference to the nirvana of the islands. A lot of stressful issues and making the stupidest mistake possible -dying my hair- my only slightly attractive feature deemed this year a massive #fail. (Promise I'll stop moping now). But I'm a die hard optimist so I'm pretty convinced 2012 will be waaaaay better, you'll see... Now try reading this again with a british accent and I swear it actually sounds intelligent.
It wasn't all bad though, I traveled, made lots of new friends, learned about a soon-to-be new arrival in my family, became a t-shirt for Zara, so many new amazing people started visiting my silly little blog, you rock, really, you rock so much I want to write a song for you. I wish to you all a glorious new year, may the poles stop melting and the hungry start eating and zombies never take over the planet. Cheers.

Happy holidays! Hope you all had a magical Christmas full of health, love, gifts and grinch-eating unicorns. Did you find a sable or some jewelry under the tree? Me? ...Nothing, I suspect the unicorns ate them. Speaking of jewelry, I need to start wearing earrings again. I came across this lovely pair, I always had a little obsession with feather earrings and any excuse of transforming myself into a bird.

Strolling around the narrow streets of Plaka, right under the Acropolis on a very sunny December day. Can't get much better than that. Everything is so peaceful and quaint on that side of the city. I apologize for being m.i.a for a while, just taking a break that's all. I bought this cardigan in an attempt to add something brighter to my bleak winter wardrobe, it's so fuzzy and hugable.

Oh! If you can any questions you can ask me here and I'll be glad to answer.

A few new things I've bought lately. I am completely obsessed with anything silver, not to the point where I go out looking like a disco ball, small doses will do. Also, next month I'm starting pattern making and sewing seminars, can't wait! I'm really looking forward to creating my own clothes, my self taught skills so far are limited to badly crafted but to my defense very flattering tops. You can see some of them here, here and here.

4FASHIONSHAKE IV BACKSTAGE

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen Leotsakou) — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 13:04:06 PST

The creepy digitaria show outfits, I still feel chills looking at the umbilical cord masks.

Vladimir Karaleev's collection and Vladimir himself. I loved the soft geometric lines of the garments and I can't wait to get myself a pair of those amazing heels. I want to marry those shoes and bake them a cake and take them on trips and stuff. Vladimir is the sweetest person, very intelligent and well rounded, we hung out later with Spiros, Stame, Evelina and Kostantinos (all have been occasional photographers for this blog) and did Freud tests to each other.

Vladimir Karaleev's show on stage, the quartet played behind a veil.
Below is the campaign video styled by my friends Spiros and Stame and make up was by Sophia.

What I'm looking forward to this spring: minimal metallic necklaces, round sunglasses, more creepers, bralette tops and sheer blouses. Can't wait. But seriously, I can't wait till January till all this from the ss12 h&m collection is available. How insane are those double layered round glasses? I look like I could invent something, or make it explode maybe.

Congratulations to Peniam for winning the Love dress giveaway!

I'll be contacting you about your prize asap.

The presentation last night at 4fashionshake was fascinating, sort of hypster meets stoner with short fashion films, feeling nauseous watching the creepy human centipede inspired fashion show of digitaria and ogling over Alexander Karaleev's shoes. This is what I wore, sorry about the hair, don't know what went wrong.

Got to love the choker although it's a bit too heavy for its own good. But it really is one hell of a statement piece. I'm getting more and more drawn to things like that, like the heart shaped open back on the dress the lovely people from Beginning Boutique gifted me, and with the subtle leopard print top part it all feels very feline with this outfit. I just need some cat eye shaped sunglasses and a pair of lace ears and I'm ready to check into a mental health clinic.

Can't wait to wear what I got from the collection, although it was mostly a press day for the Versace for H&M collaboration, it was pretty crazy. Women running around like mad, chaos, rules of the jungle taking over. I live for that stuff, especially when I win and come out alive with my prize hanging in a cute bag on my wrist. Then I end up smiling like a dork like in this last picture and doing awkward poses in front of cameras. God, I'm such a square...

Can't wait for the Versace for H&M event tomorrow! I'll also have the chance to shop there avoiding the chaos that will take place on the 17th. About what I'll buy... I'm thinking one of these chokers, I'm not a choker person but I could be one. Oh yes. Also loving Abbey's hair color, I just dyed my hair for the first time but it' didn't go so well and I'm facing hair separation anxiety to the point where I can't eat anymore. The damage will soon be undone at the hair salon hopefully reinstating my lost confidence and maybe stopping my fidgeting. Btw I've got a LOVE giveaway coming up tomorrow so stay tuned!

More black, white and blue outfits, but I'm so in love with this Blanco blazer. It has this slouchy-blanket fit sort of Olsen twin walking around NYC reminiscent, maybe less urban and more minimal. I'm wearing two more shirts under that polo blouse that only came in handy while waiting at the train station because once arriving in Athens it's a whole different climate. Ok, must explain, I live in the suburbs, my university (yep it opened up) is in the center of Athens, a good 30min away with the train and is much warmer so I'm always dressing for two seasons. Which is why every outfit needs a thorough analysis and makes my closet look terrorized. Visit my tumblr and follow me with bloglovin.

This fur has been worn less than it has been posted and I'm not that ashamed to say it, does wearing it around the house count? Or does it just verify I'm unstable? After turning 20 last month and having my first age crisis I've been second guessing my self a lot, trying to face up to a more mature behavior and it's harder than I thought. It's really about keeping more to my self, being stronger and supporting others. Easier said than done. So... I'm not sure why I'm sharing all this, this blog is becoming too much "eat pray love" for me, so no more existential monologues from now on. This LOVE bodycon dress has some really lovely pleats in the front but my hair kept hiding them.

There were so many kindhearted comments and support I received in my last post about the financial crisis in Greece, I didn't expect anyone to read such a big text so I was pleasantly surprised. Love all you guys and thank you so much!

It's a bad situation but I can't say I'm unhappy, I spend most of my days on a drug-free high of kindergarten jokes and ridiculous facial expressions, photos of which will never EVER land on this blog, hang out with great friends and in general be a real life power-puff girl. If you're emo you have the right to hate my guts. It's more of a problem of having greater expectations from the world around you.

Saturday on the other hand, exceeded my expectations after being set loose in Blanco to choose any eight items of my choice and walking out with a huge bag full of goodies and imaginary hearts floating all around me. I styled my outfit with my cardigan and claw bracelet from vj-style, visit this store for some beautiful statement pieces. I'm noticing that blue is the only color I believe in any more. Browsing through my past outfits... yep, just blue.

(gifted sparrow print dress LOVE, jeffrey campbell lita heel, lanvin for h&m sunglasses, vintage blazer and fur tippet)

Rambling about my personal life isn't something I've done much online, no one really cares what I ate for dinner, or the names of all the pets I've had, or my relationship status, but there are some things that are hard to hold back any more.

I've lived in Greece my entire life and I was lucky enough to travel the world from a very young age, I saw different cultures, visited different cities and started comparing them with my own country only to realize it was insufficient in almost every way. I always knew that I wanted to live somewhere else. Now that feeling is overbearing and it's come to the point where I really just want to leave.

I'm not saying I don't respect Greece, historically it's one of the richest countries in the world, looking up and seeing the Acropolis, still moves me, it's looking back down and seeing homeless people everywhere, and mountains of trash piled on the streets, angry messages written on every wall, people protesting every day and the general chaos that is taking place these past few years and especially this last one is what is really upsetting me.

Above all that the college I've been studying at has not opened up yet due to lack of funds, in other words most of my professors have been fired and the government has no money to give to my school for classes to start.

All this is the result of events and actions that took place within and out of the country, in the distant past, and by a collective of unconscious politicians and unfortunately it will take a very long time, if ever, before things improve. But where to go when the crisis is global. With an economy that crashes every fifty years one might wonder are the rulers of our planet a bunch of retarded scavenger monkeys with a drinking problem on rollerskates? I'm pretty sure they are.
