a greek holiday: postcards from mykonos town

The heart and soul of the island, pedestrianized Mykonos Town is a beehive of activity where the world comes together to sample Greek dishes in the many tavernas and topnotch restaurants, to shop local wares as well as luxury timepieces and fine jewelry, to appreciate and acquire art from the galleries, and when the night falls party like there’s no tomorrow.

Mykonos Town has a myriad of tiny and charming alleyways. In every corner you turn, you’ll find a sight that’s postcard pretty. Bursts of color, from potted plants to bougainvilleas lazily hanging from balconies, appear among whitewashed houses. Following the breeze, you’ll find yourself in one of the island’s main tourist attractions – be it the famous windmills, Little Venice situated dramatically on the edge of the sea, the Paraportiani church with its insurmountable shape and structure, or the friendly town mascot Petros the Pelican spreading its wings at the Old Port.

Here are my postcards from Mykonos Town.

I hope you’ll find yourself here one day, too.

je t’aime

You all know I already love the bags.

Do I love these Fall/Winter 09 jackets or what?

I LVoe!

some kind of mono: bequia, bordeaux

I’ve been obsessing about LE bags from Louis Vuitton – especially those from past seasons that are extremely difficult to come by. I snagged myself a Tanger Sac Plat from Spring/Summer 2005 five months ago, and through incessant net crawling the last few weeks and an intense bidding for a bag the second time around, I won my latest LE acquisition.

Do you remember this?

First appearing on the Parisian runway in January 2007 and in stores thereafter, the Monogram Bequia Porte Document Vertical (PDV) was one striking piece of show bag. I saw it in person for the first time back in February (surprisingly!) on a trip to Berlin, considered buying it but decided on the Cabas Naxos.

And then last Saturday, mine in Bordeaux came in the mail!

This bag is brimming with killer details – the multi-colored and multi-layered bequia leather, the woven zipper pull, the detachable leather strap, the expandable sides, the interior metal plate, the sturdy golden hardware, the striped lining and the comfortable rolled handles. The handheld and cross-body options (something lacking in my Damier Graphite Ieoh) are also a big plus.

Someone got (trigger) happy. Lol.

I LVoe!
