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

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. 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...

Mori Music Finds: Anuna

Image
Today's Mori Music find is a Celtic choral group called Anuna. Anuna features a line up of 10 to 14 singers at a time, and sing traditional Irish music, as well as some modern compositions. Their music style is airy, beautiful, and sometimes haunting, and is sometimes sung entirely acapella. Have you heard of Anuna? If so, how did you like them? If not, I hope you enjoy! Also, the Mori Girl facebook page has opened a sub-page, called  Mori Music Box , where you can share your own Mori Music Finds, and hear others suggestions!

Variations of Mori Girl: Part 2

This post is going to be a bit longer than the last one, seeing as I have a few more variations for you than last time. And again, 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. 5.Practical Mori: A couple girls have mentioned this as a term already in the Mori Girl community, so this one isn't entirely my own making. This variations consists of little to no lace, heftier, simpler fabrics and silhouette, and looks more suitable for an actual romp in the woods. It can contains hints of any kind of variation of Mori, but the consistent thing in each is the sturdy, and useful feel. 6.Over the Top (OTT) Mori: I stole this term from Lolita, but I think it applies here as well. Over the Top Mori, or OTT,...
