wicked witch of the west

I'm currently sitting on a Blue Star Ferry boat on the Aegean Sea. Amazing what the power of satellite technology can do nowadays. I'm so connected to the world, and yet so DISCONNECTED. 
I just finished editing Turkey and posting so I started on some of Greece. We have been in Athens for a few days, but haven't done much. The last time I was in Greece, it was 2003 for our study abroad/backpacking trip. Last time, we did the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and some other ruins. This time, we just chilled out, shopped, ate, and tried to find a way to get to the islands in the middle of winter.
These boots are replacing the other H&M booties I've been living in. The other booties are a velvetlike material and they get wet the minute it starts to drizzle. These are leather and will keep the rain out somewhat better, but still look stylish with my constant tights. They are not the most comfortable yet...still breaking them in...but they remind me of the wicked witch of the west shoes. Love them for that.

I also tried on this cute lace dress from H&M but I didn't get it. I needed one size smaller, but they didn't have it. If i see it in Paris or another H&M in my size, I think i'll grab it...it would be interesting to pair with my new wicked witch shoes. *_*
