I don't know much, but I'm learning.

Hello my deers! This post is a bit different from my normal content, so I want to do a quick explanation of why.

So, that being said, I wanted to do something more mori adjacent, and do a year in review type reflection of things I've enjoyed this year, both mori and not.

Similar to other fashions, it has also had its own unique magazine series produced. Although all of these have since concluded, they remain a popular source for mori inspiration. Today, I want to introduce you to one of these such magazines, the  Mori Girl Lessons. Publisher The Mori Girl Lessons were a series of magazines catered directly to mori fashion , published by Takarajimasha . The company has published many fashion magazines over the years, such as MILK. I still often see their magazines in stores here in Japan. The company delved into the mori world in the early 2010s, producing 6 known issues of their mori style guides, known as "Mori Girl Lessons." Contents The Mori Girl Lessons featured a wide variety of contents, from clothes, to hair, to makeup, and even celebrity features! The magazines covered a ...
