::Bags for Kimono::

日本語ver. → こちら

Choosing the right bag to carry makes your kimono look so much different.

There are bags which are made to match kimonos but they look good only with kimono. (in my opinion.)

So when I started wearing kimono for just ordinary days, I looked for bags which look good with kimono and I would also carry when I'm not in kimono.

::Summer Shop::

日本語ver. → こちら

KIMONO SUMMER SHOP again this summer! 

I had been looking forward to seeing new looks created by my favorite designers.

Here are some kimonos I got to try on.

"Bird of Paradise"  in olive.

by Baba-Soushoku

Amazing pattern which has both modern and retro feel to it.

The matching obi was also so beautiful!

:) :) :)

Celtic yukata in new color! by Roccoya

They made this cute yukata in sweet pink and white last year. 

I also love this spicy look in black!

Aquarium yukata by Umeya

Playful pattern with animals from the sea.

Wander a Jungle in Light by CHOKO

LOVE IT :)

Pity.... that this kimono is not going to be available till next spring....Darnn.....!

I haven't got any chance to wear yukata or summer kimono this summer yet... but trying on these beautiful creations definitely made me wanna put on some of my favorite summer kimonos before summer is over!

On the other day, I dropped by Double Standard Clothing and got their autumn lookbook.

The weather is truly too hot to think about warm clothes but next season is definitely coming.

Got some fashion inspiration with good food....

And here are a few things I picked up from summer sale.

Flat sandals by Fabio Rusconi.

New pair of B-San (flip flop) 

and a piece of glassed art by Susan Wickstrand.

My favorite Hawaiian artist!

Not many glassed pieces by her are found at stores here in Japan, but I found this cute "Honu Love" piece at Greenroom Gallery!

And... new white shoes by NIKE for our big dance day!

Ready to enjoy the rest of SUMMER :)

Thank you for reading.

::Fashion Haul:: Jan. 2016

日本語ver. HERE

Shopping is the best therapy for every girl, don't you think?

Well, I KNOW that it is not a good excuse for a crazy fashion haul. In addition to winter sales, there were some shopping events of modern kimono to go to this month, so I just couldn't miss the chance.

So here is my shopping diary of this month.

Long deep brown gloves and a clip. 

When I wear a kimono, there is no pockets to keep my hands warm. On a windy day, cold air comes into my kimono sleeves so these are the must-have for all kimono girls.

I wore them on the day of my family New Year luncheon.

Click HERE for the total look.

Actually I lost another pair of cute gloves in last winter only a couple of weeks after I bought them. Not to let that happen again, I got this clip this time.

And I also found really cheap short gloves (about 10 USD!) in navy blue at NEXT

Big tote bag from 3.1 Phillip Lim

I wrote about this look HERE

Forever 21 makes nice ear jackets! 

I also love the price! They were about 5 bucks.

Roccoya had a limited time store opened for a couple of weeks at Laforet Harajuku.

They released a new Obiage series called "Dizzy".
I chose this lime-green color.

Yep, looking at this closely makes me dizzy...

Also got a haneri (kimono collar).

Another modern kimono shop which was opened for only a week.

It was full of beautiful things created by my favorite designers.

Butterflies and flowers.

Yep!!! I wanted them so bad!!!! But I pushed that urge back....

Too many beautiful things that hit the spot!!

One little thing I got on the first day was this head dress.

Can't wait to wear it!

My kimono friend and I went to the shop on the other day and I tried on butterfly kimonos in two different colors.

In black.

and in white!

I like the white one better and I look awesome in it! lol

Okay so there is no end to girls' materialistic desires. It has to end now.

So I dropped the kimono and got these obis instead.

Beautifully collaged obi designed by CHOKO.

And......I LOVE CAT OBI by hicaloryotome :)

Can't wait to wear them and show you how I look with them!


Thank you for reading.

::Wardrobe Plans:: Kimono in Fall 2015

日本語ver. HERE

Kimono season is finally here! 

Most ready-to-wear kimonos on the market have linings which are called "Awase" and usually worn between October and May. (It isn't the rule that we must follow all the time, but this is the Japanese traditional way of celebrating each season mostly on formal occasions.)

But since the weather is getting warmer year by year, it is still too hot to wear an awase in the first half of October. 

I have some kimonos and obis in my wardrobe which I have't worn even once yet!!

Here are some of those that I really wanna wear in this season.

"Oshima-Tsumugi" which belonged to my mother.

Very valuable textile made for casual kimonos. 

And.....

<Obi 1>

<Obi 2>

<Obi 3>

I definitely need to wear this one soon! Since the pattern is so autumny.

The base color looks like black in this photo but actually is dark brown. 

Another obi.

<Obi 5>

<Obi 6>

And my first own "Homongi".

"Homongi" is a formal kimono which can be worn for weddings and other formal occasions.

Hand drawn roses.

Actually I have a little more in my closet that I've never worn yet. 

Hope I have more chances to wear a kimono this season :)

Stay tuned for my new kimono looks :)

Thank you for reading.
