A Fashionable Gathering

Above are some of my favourite photos from Grimoire's 2nd anniversary party. I would love to raid these girls wardrobes. They are just soo dreamy. Beautiful head pieces, lace, layers, flowers and fur. Dainty darlings with rose coloured cheeks.


Photos sourced from Tokyo Fashion. Click to view in more detail.

Beast

The beautiful beast who sleeps in my soul
Wakes only in my slumber

King of my dreamscapes
Wild as the wind
My animal within

Feeling very inspired by forest scenes, fairytale clothing, The Dark Crystal, wild creatures and these photos.

In The Woods Tonight

I havent been feeling too good the last few days so I've been at home snuggled in bed with my laptop trying to get better.
Today I came across these lovely photos by Justine Kerrigan. I love the deep earthy tones and mori girl style imagery.

Mori Girls

The mori girls (森ガール) belong to a Japanese subculture. Mori in Japanese means "forest" and a Mori Girl dresses like a forest wanderer, a girl who lives amongst cedar and pine trees. Mori girls choose to live their lives on their own terms,stopping to appreciate the little things that others overlook amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Mori girls love handmade items, vintage books, bicycles and cameras. Their fairytale style clothing consists of floaty a-line dresses, lace, puff sleeves, vintage prints, natural materials, pastel and earthy tones as well as quaint accessories.

 I absolutely adore this style, its so free spirited. I plan to make some clothing inspired by the mori girls maybe even a painting or two.
