This is the view this morning from my Uncle Saki’s balcony….7am. The mountains don’t have snow caps just yet but hopefully in a few more weeks. That mountain is also where the Monestary is that I went to the other day. You take a dirt road all the way up with no railings. However, the Chestnut tree’s are worth it.
Fraction of Greek Yogurt selection at the Supermarket…. Have a great weekend Ya’ll!

This is by far one of my favorite times of year in the Fashion World. Even though it’s still cold outside, Labels and Retailers prepare for Cruise 2010. Before actually working with Cruise Ships (Fam Jam Business) I worked for very popular brands we all know. From paper to product, we actually would forecast out 18 months before the customer ever got to put their hands on the product; initial line reviews, final line reviews…yay for prototypes. Back in July, the Miami Swim Wear Show is the biggest show in the world that launches Cruise every year (Bigger than Lyon, France and Rio, Brazil). By that time, R&D, designers and sales teams have spend over 1 year developing the product for buyers to see. Which then lands in the retail stores…oh right about now. Oh, the Plethura of Swimsuits I had was redic. As we move forward into Cruise 2010, I fell inlove with the bangle below. Cruise doesn’t need to be so literal but, I always appreciate a great nautical stripe and flair.

This picture was taken the other day by the one and only Metha Skylab. Sort of a “Lea is home, lets go out…Lea is leaving again, let’s go out” Kinda night. Huy says we look like a Japanese Girls Band. I always said I look better out of focus, Alexa says she always looks better in low lighting and Melissa…well, she always just looks so darn cute.

It was early January 2004 an experience changed my life, the Full collection of Elsa Schiaparelli in Philadelphia Museum of Art; right in front of me. I stood there for hours, from room to room, soaking in all this woman had to offer to the fashion world. I have always been a fan of Chanel and Schiaparelli…arch rivals. Alot of people ask me where I get my inspiration from and it really is from History books. Elsa once quoted, “In difficult times fashion is always outrageous.” Its so true. I do read the occasional blog and fashion magazine to see what inspires other people too. Fashion mimics our environment and what is happening in the world..thats what I take from it. Anyways, if you need a good read, SHOCKING will take you places. Back in 2004, the book cost $50 and well worth every page.

How appropriate is that I write about Greek Yogurt while in Greece. I grew up on this stuff and continue to eat it as a snack as an adult. My Papou used to make me and my sister fresh yogurt every week, out of the contraption below. We would put fresh honey or sugar to sweeten it up. Apparently, if you are lucky enough you can find them at thrift stores for $4 and under.
These are also some of the other Greek Yogurt’s sold in the States as well as in Greece. However, you can walk to the local store and get the “homemade” stuff too. Sometimes they even put honey in the container for you to take home. My favorite is FAGE (which means “to eat” in Greek)

How is the weather where you are? Here in Grand Bahamas is still what I like to call “boob sweat”. Late this afternoon, I went exploring. Ok, not so much… just went out front and took some quick snapshots with my Panasonic
DMC-TS1 (underwater HD Lumix). I didn’t get totally submerged but, had fun frolicking in the waves and sand. More to come soon.
If you haven’t already seen, heard of the new HERMES x LEICA camera coming out soon….ouf! I’m completely star struck once again. I feel like this is the collab of the year if you could combine mine and Huy’s 2 loves…our love child. Who doesn’t have respect for Hermes…172 years in the business and counting.
$14k and it’s all yours. Only 100 are being made in 2 colors.
