Mori Music Finds: Christmas

Image
Today's Mori Music find is a special edition for Christmas! I've compiled some of my favorite Mori-esque Christmas music for those of you celebrating this season. 1. Mindy Gledhill I've already posted a previous post on Mindy Gledhill, but her lovely Christmas album, Winter Moon, is definitely worth mentioning. The entire album has a very Mori feel, and includes traditional and more modern Christmas songs. As well as a few originals. Christmas Waltz Little Soldier (Original) Patapan (O Come, O Come Emmanuel) 2. Daniela Andrade Daniela is a singer/songwriter from YouTube who sings mostly covers, with a few originals here and there. She has a very soft and Indie feel, and her Christmas music is no different. Her Christmas album, The Christmas EP, is available on spotify, and iTunes, Christmas Time is Here Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Santa Baby 3. She and Him She and Him is a rather well-known d...

Mori Girl Variations: Part 4

Image
As always, if anyone has any other terms they would like to contribute, or if you make a post of your own ideas, please let me know and I will make a master post to link them all together. And please keep in mind that all these variations have come from my own head, and that they are not officially recognized terms. Here we go! 13.Simplistic Mori: This variation is rather hard for me to explain, but I'll try my best! I basically think of this variation as a smoothed out, no unnecessary frills, kind of Mori. It can border a casual kind of Mori at times, but it still maintains the traditional silhouette. Basically, it's Mori at its minimum. Shortcuttothestars 14.Romantic Mori: This variation contains lots of extra lace and romantic colors. However, the lace is never bulky or OTT, but instead has a more mature and feminine look. It can have many layers or few, but it always maintains it's soft feminine feel. Shortcuttothestars Wardro...

Mori Music Finds: Popoyans

Image
Today's Mori Music Find is the archetypal Mori band, Popoyans.  Popoyans is a duo consisting of Cheru and Non, who are highschool friends. They both live a natural lifestyle, and dress natural as well. Their music has a soft, comforting, and natural feel, and consists mainly of classical guitar, glockenspiel, and harmonies. Because of their clothing style, music style, and lifestyle, they are considered to be the original Mori Girl artists. Popoyans is some of my favorite music, and it never fails to cheer me up, and put me in a Mori kind of mood. Have you heard of Popoyans? If so, how did you like them? If not, I hope you enjoy!

My Favorite Things: November

Image
November has been a good month for me, and I thought I'd share a few of my favorite things this November. I'm really excited for the Mori Girl Google Hangout that the lovely Natalie Newman  has started! I was lucky to be a part of some of the initial planning and testing, and I can't wait for the actual thing. We'll all be grabbing our favorite cups of tea, and webcam-ing each other on Dec. 27th. I'll definitely be there, and I hope you will be as well! You can join the  Mori Girl Facebook Group  and then after you join, you can join the event . Let's hope lots of Mori Girl come! I'm also loving this  Fairytale Forests Stag's Head Handpainted Clock  that the lovely Polly Frances Elizabeth has made. She makes such lovely things, and this clock is no different. It's absolutely charming, and I hopefully when the holidays are over I can pick one up for myself! A super exciting thing happened this month. I won the Mori Box giveaway!...

Mori Music Finds: KOKIA

Image
Hello my deers! Today I have another mori music find for you all, KOKIA.  KOKIA, or Akiko Yoshida, is a singer-songwriter from Japan. Her style is often referred to as folk-pop, and is often filled with quirky vocals and has a magical or fantasy like feel. She draws much inspiration from Celtic music, and even made a Celtic album called "KOKIA meets Ireland". Have you heard of KOKIA? If so, how did you like her? If not, I hope you enjoy!

Variations of Mori Girl: Part 3

As always, if anyone has any other terms they would like to contribute, or if you make a post of your own ideas, please let me know and I will make a master post to link them all together. And please keep in mind that all these variations have come from my own head, and that they are not officially recognized terms. Let's jump right in! 10.Dark Mori: Dark Mori is almost the same as regular Mori Girl fashion, and is an already established variation. It usually consists of blacks instead of browns, and sometimes uses small skulls and other "creepy" motiffs. Other popular colors are grays, blues, and sometimes dark browns. Dark Mori can contain hints of almost any kind of variation, but colors are always very dark. I've also seen this variation called "Strega" as well. Shortcuttothestars  is well known for Dark Mori Coordinates. Tales of a Danish Lolita 11.Mori Gyaru: This, like Dark Mori, is an already established variation. M...
