Tadaima! - I'm back

"Tadaima" means "I'm back" in Japanese.

And, yes I'm back!!!!!!
I mean I didn't really post anything like say-goodbye entry or something, but I realized that I've left my blog for so long to focus on my job-hunting.

In Japan, there is so-called "job-hunting season" starting from December of the third school year. From that time until you graduate, you have more than one year to prepare for finding a job, getting one, and enjoying your last moments at university.

It involves in so many company seminars, interviews, online as well as written tests, along with black suits, black hair, stresses, tears and so on.

Thanks for everybody's support, I received job offer last week. That was such a good news to me during 5 months long. It also means that I can stop every job-hunting things to focus on WHAT I WANT TO DO!
Yeah that means I will start working from next year's April, which sounds not really fun, huh? Actually I has been thinking a lot about whether to become an OL (office lady - similar meaning with salary man in Japanese haha), or do my little shop. Finally I chose to do both lol. I will try to be a good OL and study new things as an "shakaijin", as well as take care of this blog and my future shop ^_^

Anyway, here are some cherry blossom photos,"hello, I'm back" greetings for everybody.

And, thank God it's Springggggggggggggg

Hope you enjoy spring and I'll be back soon with latest entry about shop's new items ^0^

Mori shopping corner #4: Wonder Rocket

Yes, Wonder Rocket is no doubt a Mori-kei's brand!

Brand name: Wonder Rocket - ワンダーロケット

Online shop: www.wonderrocket.com

Style: Mori, Lolita, natural, street, casual

Personally I think Wonder Rocket clothing is more Lolita-kei rather than Mori-kei, but there are still many Mori-like found in the online shop. And you can be more Lolita or more 'Mori' depends on how you mix your clothes.

Pros:

• Price (always one of the first things we consider about): Really reasonable. It can't be called cheap, but I think it isn't expensive at all, compare to some other brands. Normally, an one-piece would cost about 4000-6000 Yen, as I investigated through many natural-kei online shop. But Wonder Rocket's are not that much, and they are definitely cute.
• Quality: good, of course.
• Style: cute ^^. It suits girls who love clothes with light or white colors, laces, ribbons and loose one-pieces, and so on *heart*
• The website is easy to see and find things you want.

lovely lace

Cons: 

• It doesn't provide international shipping service >_<
• It doesn't have much goods' quantity in stock. (As I searched for some bags and shoes, half of them were sold out)

If you want to buy clothes from shops which don't provide international shipping service, you'd have to use shipping agents. They would, as your representative, buy things you want from the shop, then ship them to you. All you have to do are to choose items you like and tell them :D. I have heard about this kind of service, but I am not sure about which one is trustworthy.

My future-online shop would definitely have international shipping service : )

Anyway, enjoy shopping ^^  and good night!

Mori shopping corner #1: Forever 21

Good evening here in Japan,

While wandering around to find a useful and informative website introducing about Mori style's clothes, besides blogs, Journal communities, Tumblr and forums, I found no fully informative English site about Mori clothes and Mori shop list, in spite of the fact that there are so many CHEAP and CUTE Mori shop sites out there, but all in Japanese. So, as a regular-online-shoppers (can be called a online shopping-holic ><), I was just thinking of sharing shops I know and my experience about the shops, and privately to remind myself of not spending too much money on them, haha ( It's impossible though T.T)

さっそく, For the first time of Mori shopping corner, I would like to introduce one of the most popular shopping sites that many Mori girls are using, FOREVER 21

Good points:

• The most visible point of F21 is the reasonable price. I have to admit that after comparing to the average price of common Japanese shopping sites like shops on Rakuten.
• Quality is good, the product is nearly same with what you see on the site.
•  Order steps are simple.
• Large sales

Drawbacks:

• Privately, I think F21 is for lady and cute style rather than Mori style. You tend to be able to find many T-shirts, shorts, cute bottoms, dresses and high-heels here, instead of Mori's casual skirt, long skirt or one-piece. So it often takes time to find a suitable one. However I think there are more summer clothes of Mori style than winter. In summer we have floral print and lace tops and bottoms, Yay~ o(*^▽^*)o~♪
• Forever21 of Japan has less products than F21.com (why?!!) >.<

• Slow due to traffic access. Right now when I was checking to find some photos it was quite slow.

To sum up, there are still so many girls shopping here, and I think F21 deserves that. As a Mori girl, you can find some reasonable and cute Mori clothes here if you spend time looking up. I recommend F21's accessories, shoes and dresses.

Happy shopping ('-'*)ｴﾍ

Good night~
