Summery Gorgeous

So many creators came out with great looking yukata's to wear. I'm so happy to have new kimonos! This one is simply beautiful. Feel Pop is one of my favorite shops and this is one of the new yukata's she's brought out. Isn't it just lovely! The details are beautiful, the nice bow on the obi and there are small bells attached to the obijime! Kawaii! It comes with a color changing obiage. It has 12 individual colors. So creative! This kimono has pretty lace along the edges, so doll-like. It made me think of being a little girl again.

The warm breeze and bright sun, I can just imagine walking along seashore in this yukata and smiling. Swinging the adorable little kinchaku to and fro that carries within it a small fan and few ryu. A dreamy summer day.

Sadistic Hacker just came out with this new hairstyle. Isn't it cute! It's called Meltdown. I know, strange name, but it's so fanciful and fun! I hope you enjoy them both and go them for yourself! I need a fireworks festival to go to, do you know of any?? lol

Yukata!

Summer is a time for Yukata! Yukata is a kimono made simply for the summertime when it is hot and humid. The yukata is airy and light and are mostly made of cotton. They are casual kimonos that are worn at summer festivals or in bath houses. Yukata's are relatively affordable as well. Most ranging from 39 us dollars to 200 for a set with tabi socks and an obi sash. If you're interested in one for yourself there are two nice places where you can purchase them. One is Ichiroya, of course. A well known kimono outlet. The other is the yukata kimono market Sakura. They of hundreds of beautiful Yukata's for this summer!

Of course, Second Life kimono creators have come out with new summer yukata's as well. We'll begin with a new creation from a lovely store called toutou-ann called Karen Momo. It comes in several colors, but I adore this pinky burgundy one. Is pinky really an adjective? Anyway, the obi is so pretty and ornate with pearls and chiffon. This store has several lovely kimonos, you should definitely go there and check it out! The kanzashi is the second set of Karuyakai

Kimono summer

Ah, the summertime, the warm breeze and dazzling sunshine... against katana blades and simmering fans. It's summer in Japan on SL and Geisha Dreams has released a new kimono for the summer and Hana Katsuraya has released a new kanzashi. Mizuiro is a part of the Sanpo Collection at Geisha Dreams. Also, if you're a group member you get a free sample of her new skins, one of which I am wearing in these photos. ^^ Both the kimono and the skin are from the creative mind of Aryanna DeCuir. Must haves!

Hana has released the new kanzashi, Karyukai. This quote is straight from her note card that comes with the kanzashi.

"This collection features some of the themes of early summer that are less commonly seen in kanzashi. Yuri (百合) or lily, is one of the most beautiful flowers of early summer, and depending on the color or species can represent a number of qualities in Japanese culture. The other kanzashi motif is a combination of nadeshiko (撫子), or dianthus, and yanagi (柳), or willow, layered on a parasol of metallic mizuhiki cord, and evokes an image unique to the geisha culture of the karyukai (花柳界), or flower and willow world." -Hana Hendrassen

All of her kanzashi are so beautifully detailed. She's an amazing creator.

Aoi and I are modeling these and he is wearing a sexy off-the-shoulder kimono from So What? We happened upon this little shop in the Catch a shooting star hunt! The kimono is called, ++ wa gi (black and red) I edit most my pics for artistic effect, the last one is unedited so you can see how they look in world. Enjoy ^^

So What?

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!
