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 #7: Nashare

As a frequent buyer of Rakuten, I'm so in love with Nashare, which is not really a brand but it is so lovely and so "Mori" ^^

Shop's name: Nashare (maybe from Natural and "Oshare" which means fashionable in Japanese)
Shop link: Nashare Rakuten shop
Style: of course Mori, natural.

And so many other lovely things that I cannot post all here ><

Good points:

• Lovely designs. Their products are so good and so adorable ;__;
• Price: reasonable.
• Website: good design too. It's easy to find things.

Not good points ^^:

• I think they don't ship internationally.

Happy shopping ^0^

Survey about Mori-girl style.

Hi, I'm Midori from Japan. I'm a girl who is inspired by Japanese street fashion, especially Mori-girl style. I'm doing this tumblr and my blog just in order to have a place to get more inspirations, and to have the feeling of being in Mori-girl community ^^. I know that there are girls (and boys) out there, who have same interest with me *heart*. It's so great to see you guys posting beautiful things, and tumblr them ^0^.

To know more about how people are thinking about Mori-girl style, I've made a questionnaire. Its purpose is to get to know more about Mori-girl style lovers' thoughts, as well as to make a more favorable online shopping environment for us - Japanese fashion lovers! If you don't mind, please do it. I really appreciate your answers and I'm looking forward to them. *heart*

It will be very kind of you to reblog this post. If you found it helpful, please reblog it ^^
Thank you so much ~
Love,
From Midori.

" Mori girls are so called because they look as though they would be very much at home in the woods. Basic to the style is a layered look making use of items with an airy feel - such as A-line dresses, long and tiered skirts, and flowing cardigans - made of cotton, wool yarn, and other natural materials. White and cream are favorite colors. Added to these basic items are tights, flat shoes, and cotton tote bags or tanned-leather shoulder bags, often complemented by wavy medium-length hair. The overall effect is soft and relaxed. This style is being embraced primarily by women in their twenties.
The term mori girl is thought to have come from the name of a community launched in August 2006 on Mixi, a Japanese social networking service. Since then, it has spread far beyond the online community into the real world. It is gradually becoming a household word as the style is featured in fashion magazines, made the subject of specialized magazines, and increasingly seen in the streets.
While there are several accepted definitions of mori girls, they are basically fond of loose-fitting dresses; clothes that appear natural in style but have a bit of a twist; folkloric clothes; deep hues such as wine red, forest green, dark blue, and brown; fluffy knit and fur caps; ponchos and boleros; leather bags; small cross-body bags; animal and sweets motifs; checks, polka dots, and classic floral prints; lace; tights and leggings; footwear with rounded toes; and scarves and stoles, which they wrap around their necks several times. Mori girls like going on walks with camera in hand, doing fancywork, and visiting cafes and zakkaya (knick-knack stores).
All in all, the impression is light and feathery. But the mori girl is more than just a fashion trend. It is almost a way of life, with the mori girl mentality pervading everything from hobby and home decor preferences to values and lifestyles." (from web-japan)

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!
