::Holiday Feast::

日本語ver. HERE

Almost every month, my friend invites her friends over to her beautiful apartment for South African Wine party. I joined them for the first time in mid October and it was so much fun!


I wore a kimono last time.
The post about this look is HERE

It was a bit rainy this time, so I didn't wear a kimono, though.


Tasty wines from the winery Neil Joubert

My friend has a great taste of table setting. 
It was just a month before Christmas, so the table was set with holiday decorations.





Everything was soooo yummy! 
Since I wasn't in kimono this time, I couldn't stop eating...


Cheese cakes that one of the guests brought were so good as well!


My mother is super good at making chiffon cakes, so I had her teach me how to make one the other day and I tried.......
It didn't turn out to be as pretty as the ones she makes, but the taste was good!
My friend decorated my cake with maple syrup and powder sugar so it looked a bit better.
I need to practice more to be a chiffon cake master!

The time passed super quick while meeting new fun people and having yummy dinner with them.
I'm so happy to have people whom I can spend quality times with!
Thank you so much!


Thank you for reading.

::Home Party Look::

日本語ver. HERE

My friend was having a wine tasting party at her place last week.
I asked one of the hosts if I could join them in kimono and her answer was "Of course!!". So I did a quick change at my office after work.

Since it was a home party, I tried not to be too flashy.


I chose the very first kimono I bought last year with crane motif.


Paired with these beautiful brand new zouris. 
These straps are made of dyed deerskin.


OOTD.

I wore this kimono about a year ago.
The blog post about that day is HERE


The party was so much fun with tasty food.


She recently founded a company which deals with imported organic wines from South Africa.
We learned a bit about South Africa and the story behind the wines that are produced there.
Cape Town is now added to my list of the cities I want to visit someday.

She brought 12 different wines from the winery she's been working with. 
Once you know the each story of the wine, it tastes so differently. 



The party started around 7 pm and the time passed so quickly.
I met some new people there and it was so much fun.


Thank you for reading.
