New Year Kimono






I know the new year has came and went in the U.S., but Feb. 3rd is chinese new year according to lunar calendar. This kimono's design was specifically for the new year! Beautiful Kiku and the bright/bold colors of red, black and white. I'm glad there are new kimono shops popping up all the time!! This kimono and Haori are so gorgeous! Best Wishes to everyone! Enjoy the pics and Happy New Year!!

Snowing and there's kimono's





It's cold outside, snow on the ground, and pretty kimono's for the season. Winter kimono's come in several colors. These colors are usually dark and warm, such as red, purple, black, and deep blues. Often they are topped by a fur collar. In January many young girls have their coming of age celebration at the age of 20. Either way, kimono's are vastly beautiful and bright for us to enjoy in this wintery season.





I hope you enjoy the wonderfully colored winter kimono!!
