MEG spam

This is going to be a post about MEG.
Just because she got a new haircut.
And because I couldn't adore her more than I already do!
And because my readers deserve some prettiness c:
All the pictures from MEG's blog.

Seda bonus

She also got a new blog recently at So-en's webpage. Which is quite cool: firstst because I love the magazine, second because I love MEG, and getting her twice is better than once!

Mori girl for autumn/fall /winter

I know this post is late. VERY late. And I'm sorry about that! I don't know how this happened, but I didn't see Mori girl papier vol.4 neither Mori girl lesson nº3 until a few days ago (phew, this post took so long to get written! haha), that's why I didn't post about it until now.
This issue is supposed to talk about mori girl in the autumn/fall, but you can always use these tips in winter too.

I made a little glossary post of recurrent japanese words you come across when reading magazines, so check it if you're interested! Most of those words are used in this post/magazine hehe

Well, here she is, our (my) favorite mori girl, MEG!

The magazine features a few popular (I suppose, since the only girl featured I know is MEG) mori girls and their style.
Oops, I couldn't resist posting MEG scans!

Before reading: there are a lot of interesting topics in this issue (new brands, coordinates, ...) BUT, I'm only gonna focus on the mori girl lessons in this post, since there are a lot of images to show. Plus, translations in this post are only guidelines, I'm not translating everything the lessons say neither my japanese is good enough to do so.
(I only want to say, btw, my knowledge of the japanese language is very limited, so these translations are quite loose and don't have to be taken as completely correct. I'll try to translate everything the best I can though)

Lesson 1: Mori girl items

Item nº5: Soft and warm knit outerwear to be comfortable in winter.

Item nº6: Wear a poncho, like a Northen Europe girl would.

Item nº7: A camel outerwear is a classic for a Mori girl.

2nd Accessory: Mori girls love fluffy fur hats

3rd Accessory: The degree of girlyness also increases with the cute hair accessory.

Lesson 4: Feet coordinate
Mori girl's way to footwear coordinate

森ガールーにぴったりの足元コーディネイト

1-サボが定番アイテムの仲間入り
Sabots are recurrent footwear for a mori girl.


2-ぺたんこストラップシューズでガーリーに
Girly flat strap shoes.


3-トレッキングブーツはお散歩には欠かせません
Trekking shoes are indispensable to go on a stroll.


I like magazines that help you define a style/trend and give you ideas on how to coordinate things, but everything loses a bit of its magic when you change the word "guidelines" for "musts". So I'd like everyone to take all this as reference to help make and/or develop your own mori style.
And avobe all, have fun dressing up!

Your thoughts on all this? Are you up for being a mori girl this winter too?

Carolina Glaser winter colection

Carolina Glaser has been advertising on their (staff and MEG's) blog and twitter their new collection for winter.
Again, neither MEG or the staff has said anything about how MEG's leave for Paris would affect the brand (as long as I know, since I can't read japanese that well), but that hasn't stopped them, since they've been showing us new pieces and coordinates for next fall.

More info about the brand on her blog and the staff's blogs.
To purchase, or browse the full catalog, visit their oficial home page.

Well, the first pic talks for itself. Is there anything prettier out there?

Hi there Tirol!

Aren't the pants awesome? I think they look so comfy, but at the same time serious (as in, you could wear them for work, for example)


I'm kinda in love with these shoes. I wouldn't mind getting them.



Lovelovelovelovelove. And those shoes too.


Last words from MEG: now go and buy something for Sasa!

I think winter is the season for black (slims your figure, keeps you warmer than white, blah blah blah). But I still prefer lighter colors. From a few years back I've been trying to avoid black as much as I can. I still have a few pieces though, it comes in handy from time to time. But I think lighter colors make you happier and brightens your mood. Plus, they're easier to contrast with other clothes, making each piece and its details more visible.

As well as Japan is known for its hot summers, it's also known for its cold winters (and I can agree with that), thus this colection looks really comfortable and wearable for next winter.
Overall impression: I love this colection. I had the money, there would be few pieces I wouldn't buy.

Your thoughts on it? Mori enought? You don't care for this kind of clothes?
