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

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!

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,...

Recently I was having a talk with some fellow Mori Girls on how to differentiate Mori from other styles. A few girls brought up the idea of specific names for variations in Mori Girl, similar to Lolita sub-styles, and I've been itching to coin a few terms for myself! Originally, I was planning for this to be one post only, but it's turned out to be a bit bigger than I thought, and will be three posts at least. Also, 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. 1. Western/European Mori: This variation of the Mori tends to be darker colors, although not dark enough to be considered Dark Mori. And although it maintains the Mori silhouette, it has much less lace, and looks more like an outfit of a forest dweller...

I recently participated in the Mori Girl Swap . It spawned from someone's idea in the Society of Mori Girl Bloggers .  My swap partner, Grace (you can find her tumblr  here. ), was from Australia. Her package was so cute! Here is what I received: 1 roll of washi tape - It has three different patterns on it and is a lovely peachy shade. 1 pack of emblem stickers - These seem to be from Japan and are in lovely pastel shades. 4 types of loose leaf tea - Tea is my favorite thing, and I can't wait to make a pot! It all came this a lovely box. The middle is see-through, which I found adorable. I actually peeked through the window first, before I opened it ;) I love parcels and letters, so I was super excited to be able to participate in this swap! I hope we get to do another one in the future.

(This post was updated in December 2018.) In previous posts, I have talked about the differences between Mori Girl and two of its close cousins, Natural Kei and Dolly Kei . In this post, I'll talk about the final style in this series, Cult Party Kei.  Cult Party Kei's silhouette consists of pastel colors, lots of layers, lacey and flowing vintage sheer covers, vintage pajamas, red accents, platform shoes, handmade accessories, tattoo tights or other wild types of tights, and often teddy bears or other kid like accessories. The name, as far as I can tell, stems from a shop in Harajuku called Cult Party (now the Virgin Mary). There is nothing "cult-like" about the style, other than the more traditional outfits sometimes featuring crosses as accessories.  Unlike Mori Girl, Cult Party Kei can often give a very synthetic or pop feel. And often features shorter skirts, or more mainstream popular items in Harajuku (Platform shoes, tattoo tights, other j-fas...
