Pretty mermaid kimono

This is one of my older kimono's. The shop is unfornately gone, I believe, but I wanted to share it with you. The obi is nicely detailed and the flow of the kimono is really sweet. The bottom flares out like a mermaid dress and the kimono sleeves are swept up gently with any movement. I just like wearing a kimono like this that makes you feel pretty and prestine.

New Samurai release!

Aoi and I took some pics with a new samurai release kimono and a summer kimono. The samurai kimono is from Jugoya. Aoi is wearing the Bunmei (dots) style. It's 380L, but very authentic looking. I like the pleats in the hakama and the shirt. I left the last pic unedited so you could see it clearly. Very detailed and smooth looking. I have on the summer blue kimono from Giorno Brando. It's not a new release and you can find it at any GB location. Of course I'll give the main one at the bottom. Katanas are not included. Enjoy the pics, get the kimonos!

Falln Angel Sale!

Hurry, be quick. Azriel has taken half price off 42 items in his main store. That includes, you guessed it. Kimonos! The sale ends today at midnight SLT. I only found 2 of the items to be kimonos, but they were so nice, I wanted to share them with you. I always love the large detailed obi bow in the back. The hair with the black kimono is from Falln as well, but not a part of the half price sale. Az always surprises his customers with fun events! Thanks so much for the sale!

Irotomesode Sky Blue

Irotomesode kimono's are less formal kimono's usually. They mostly have a solid color other than black for 3/4th of the kimono and the 1/4 bottom has the designs. It is sometimes called the colored kimono, or colored tomesode. Married and unmarried people can wear them to semi formal occasions. This kimono is a sky blue irotomesode from Geisha Dreams. I know it's a little early, but in the month of June Geisha's wear willow kanzashi. A very summery ensemble.

Milky Kimono Hunt

Milky has a nice kimono hunt going on, unfortunately, the last day is tomorrow. I have to say, it was rather difficult and we just happened upon the last card by chance. Go to Milkyhouse, buy the hud (for free), wear it and you will find you need to find 15 boxes, or cards. In order to receive the prize, it says you have to save all the princesses. There are three princesses, that they say, were kidnapped. There are also priests hidden in the cards that will hinder the hunt, and if you touch one of them, all your princesses will be taken away. Yes, we had to do this several times and it was frustrating, lol.

The hud gives you very few hints, so I suggest walking all around the sim, going to the neo-japan sim, and lastly, falling into the waterfall at the kimono center for the final card. You will have two blank cards upon completion of the hunt. Then, it will give you the landmark for the prize. Unfortunately, for us, the last "gift giver" landmark wouldn't work, so I just had to get there by finding it on the map. It was well worth the hardship of the hunt, though. You get a nice these nice kimonos! One for females and yes, one for males! I have a back shot to show the pretty red bow on the kimono. Katanas were not included in the gift, but the hat was. ^^

Found a New Kimono Shop!

So, this weekend started off Milky's Kimono events! They had a fashion show on Saturday and they opened to sim to have several kimono shops all in one place. I went there last night and was in heaven! Kimono shops everywhere. I even found a new kimono shop I'd never seen, which believe me, is rare. Pop Feel is a shop that has great kimono's for reasonable prices. At the Milky event, they have a shop that has pretty haori coats and kimonos to offer. Even an entire outfit for 1L! You get a kimono, obi, geta, tabi, and even a shape! That's a deal! Here you'll see I'm wearing a Pop Feel Rin Haori all for 370L. It also includes a shape and geta. Amazing! The next picture is of the 1L kimono. Aren't they lovely? Most are photoshoped for effect, I did leave a couple not so you can see the true colors. I will definitely be watching for more from Pop Feel. Join Milky House in celebrating kimonos! See you there!

Wisteria and upcoming kimono Hunt

It's still May and I have more pictures of Wisteria for you. Think it's my favorite flower? Maybe. I do know I have another kimono with a wisteria motif! This one is a beautiful azure blue with purple and pink wisteria throughout with a nice red and gold obi to match. They look great together! This kimono can still be found at Tenran. The okobo shoes that match can be found there as well.

I love the Geisha style. No, I'm not a Geisha on SL, but I love the look and dress of Geisha. Of, course I do, because I love kimonos! This hair style is called katsuyama. It flatters the wisteria kanzashi that hang beautifully. This kanzashi is from Hana Katsuraya. She puts such detail in her kanzashi. They are works of art.

The last pic is from a tea house in Hosoi. Ocha wa ikaga desuka? ^^

Oh, I almost forgot. There will be a kimono hunt at one of my favorite kimono shops, Milky. It begins on May 22nd. More details later, but if you want a beautiful kimono from Milky House, here's your chance.

Golden Week and Wisteria

We are still in the middle of Golden Week over in Japan. If you were wondering, Golden Week is as follows. First, Showa Day is April 29, the birthday of the former emperor. Second, May 3 is Constitution Day, or Japan's post war commemorating that constitution. Third, May 4 is Green Day for growing plants and things and showing appreciation for them. May 5 is Children's Day, a day which traditionally, boys fly carp-shaped kites or flags and children as well as mother's are honored.

Happy Golden Week, everyone!

May is here! Seasonal flowers are always the motif in Japan, and this month the star flower is the wisteria. Therefore, it's time for a change in kanzanshi in May. We'll go from the small delicate pink sakura petals to the long bold purple wisteria that people in Japan wear in this month! Just when the last sakura petal falls, you would think Hanami would be over. Oh no, it's time for wisteria viewing and having that last spring picnic under wisteria petals before the summer begins.

Wisteria kanzashi hang loosely and playfully over the hair. I personally love wisteria, since purple is my all time favorite color. Wisteria has been associated with kimonos for years. Here's a few nice pics for you to see. So in keeping with the love of kimono's I have on a very nice Falln Angel wisteria kimono. I love the spring green color and it goes so well with purple wisteria kanzashi from Tenran.

Enjoy the kimono, wisteria, and golden week!
