The mori girls (森ガール) belong to a Japanese subculture. ‘Mori’ means forest in Japanese, and mori girls look like fairytale forest wanderers in their loose dresses, vintage prints and quaint accessories. 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.

Found out about this blog dedicated to Mori girls and this article in New York Times talking about ‘living dolls’ in the recent Japanese scene.

Lovely stop-motion short film which I feel certain resemblance inspired from Alice In The Wonderland.

As you can see, this is a very ‘syok sendiri’ post. Haha!

Haha, the least fashionable member will be the first to blog about Fashion!

So, here’s something I had in mind:

I have been thinking about what to wear to my colleague’s garden wedding this coming April. I have about a month from now. (But we all know how fast 30 days fly past.) The guests will be colour-coded by their outfit. And somehow, Helena has decided that her ‘colleagues’ are PURPLE.

So, I went purply-beserk today, exploring Flickr images for inspiration (as shown above). Am thinking of dashes of purple in the outfit rather than the whole and been toying with the idea of hair in purple streaks.

There’s hardly a single purple thing in my closet. Come to think of it, I don’t even have a set of purple earrings or socks. Okay, there was this purplish grey bracelet. And a long metallic purple necklace. Which both are quite hard to pair up for a garden party outfit.

Anyway, either it’s another treasure hunting for vintage outfit from my mum, or a call to the girls for a shopping spree! Which I like the second idea better! Haha XD

My first ever Polyvore set in “sexually frustrated” colour palatte!
