Ladurée Athεns

 

So today I went downtown & wore the coord I wanted to wear tomorrow.

But rest assured, this will be my coord tomorrow as well. 

 

I didn't wear anything heavy, not even a coat, it felt like spring outside.

Detail

Anyway, let's cut to the chase. Kinda bizarre but Ladurée in Greece?

 They chose a really nice area actually.

 

Although totally nice architecture & aesthetics, not really a wow for me for various reasons.I see wow in Athens everywhere,especially if I want a wow JUST for the eyes.

 

Then the sweets.

We got a strawberry milkshake, a double capuccino, a glass of wine & sweet potato fries.

 

Can I be aunt Mel honest?  Yes, of course, if not me then who? 

I bought their tote bag because I liked the pastel green colour it had 

& I also got their paper bag that I wanted for deco. 

Not fan of macarons (or their frozen sweets, not fresh!) or the simple stuff 

on the menu equivalent to a basic overpriced Zara garment.

so I'd not actually be able to get their cute boxes.

After all, it's all for decorating, right? Not a big deal~

                            

 

BUT! BUT! Aesthetics~

I just mean that I don't look 

forward to going there again.

Maybe if one day I'm in need of 

such colour therapy then yes, I will go.

 

Maybe I sound kinda kinda, right?        

When I go somewhere, 

I think more about the energy exchange,

my wallet comes second.

I get stingy & judgmental 

when the energy exchange is not good.

That's when you will catch me being "aunt Mel honest".

Maybe my inside is demanding 

& I have uncompromised standards

because I'm used to excellent hospitality?

Of course, let's keep in mind

benefit of the doubt!

 

Maybe those are truly under a microscope obvious things but why not think about our actions, patterns once in a while? Hmmm, nice insight~ Just checked in with myself & you witnessed it. You also witnessed how I choose places in real life but without even analyzing it on a post, it's automatic.

 

...Do you also work like that? I do weight stuff out a lot, a lifestyle I picked up from living alone in Seoul. It feels more intentional; choosing a place to go or something to buy (or people to hang out with) when it actually feels worth it. It's trial & error but that's part of life~

 

 

Update: turns out I was not the only one, the store's got negative reviews about the same stuff I talked about. Next.
