Todays kitsuke in honour of the melbourne cup, and look, puppy !!!!

Traveling kimono round 2

So you know when your having one of those weeks, stressed out, depressed etc etc, and something special happens and it all brightens up ^^
well the traveling kimonos arrival did just that for me.
I got the chance too wear it twice between work, and i planned to again today, but it's ben pouring down rain, so there was really no point after work today (i wanted some shots with the wattle, anyway, enjoy.

 

Expansion of posting

So at them moment i barely use my blog since i post my kimono shots on da, flickr, and ig, 1 more seems a bit much.

I'm thinking i might add in my fashion (so pics of my daily wear out of kimono)
Sowing projects i'm working on and desighns i would love to make, i'll still post kimono, but lets make this a busy fun blog. I'll make an effort to post weekly.
It's in my diary now!

See you soon, lets see how this works out :D

New layout, and long time no post ^^

Ahh it's been a while since i blogged, I've been busy handing in resumes, sowing whatever i can get my hands on drawing designs, yadda yadda yadda,  pretty much everything i wanted to do all last year but couldn't justify ^^
I've promised a Friend of mine a Lolita shoot, so that's on the table at the moment, but I'll leave  you with my most recent creation.

Do you like the new layout?? The background is a sketch of a lollita skirt i want to make ^^

I've loved pinstripes for a long time, and simple outfits with something small to bling them up. While I'm not good at doing that with my normal clothes, i seem to be getting the hang of it in kitsuke.

For this i chose a gold earring that has a chain tassel and a piece that clips around the top of your lobe (can't remember what it's called) unfortunately they don't often sell them in pairs, but i the same one the other day on sale and bought it so i had a pair ^^

The tateya musubi came out really nicely and crisp, so I'm quite happy with that ^^ This obi is truly one of my faves.

The kimono itself is unlined. I rarely line mine,
1: because I have trouble getting it to line up nicely
2: It's expensive ( i could be making more XP)
and last but not least,
3: I'm a snow Bunnie through and through, Australia being warmer most of the year, i prefer to not have the extra warmth so i can make more use out of my geometric kimono ^^

I think if when i get a job they'll let me, this would be a great kimono to wear during multicultural work. Business like, but definitely quirky and kimono.

If i ever made my own kimono brand, you'd probably see a lot of stuff like this,
I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.
