The theme of Japanese fashion brand Ciaopanic's ladies' collection is "sweet vintage," something that should interest most mori girls. The pictures below were shot in the United States. I love them!

I have a thing for vintage motorcycles, lazy shirts with collars and well-worn cardigans. The first picture contains all three!

The floral bomber jacket in the first picture below is great, and the very American tshirts in both pictures are great fun.

Great examples of layering. The scarves wound all the way around the neck are distinctly mori girlish, and the roomy white dress in the bottom picture has a great silhouette.

These pictures smell of freedom.

Continuing the trend of spending Christmas in a European wonderland, Syrup's winter catalogue (as well as a special in Japanese magazine Spoon) was shot in the Czech Republic. How do you think these pictures compare to those in last year's catalogue, which was shot in Estonia?

 

The Syrup models have been sporting these long, relaxed silhouettes that can easily be recreated with long coats or tops and below-the-knee skirts.

Syrup clothes never seem to have any waist, something I actually prefer maybe because I don't have much of a shape to begin with. If you prefer slightly more fitted silhouettes, cinch your top or dress at the waist with a simple belt.

I am enamoured with these darling animal cardigans! Animal motifs are a favourite of mori girls, and it doesn't get any cuter than this.

I hope all of you are having a good winter and/or Christmas season. In anticipation of winter, many of the mori girls' favourite clothing labels have produced fashion spreads shot in Europe. Scandinavia is often cited as the textbook definition of the mori girl's dream destination.

So it's no surprise that SM2, a Japanese label that is by now a firm favourite of many mori girls, has travelled to Sweden for the winter.

Cycling to the bakery with backpack in tow followed by an hour or two at the library is many mori girls' idea of a perfect day.

Just like last winter, practical and cute duffle coats are the outerwear of choice. Other cold weather options include padded jackets, shawls and knits, to be paired with all manner of socks, stockings and tights. Layering is a mori girl's best friend.

SM2 sticks with its customary earthy, neutral palette, playing around with texture to keep things interesting.

Have a lovely winter.

A quick post--found these pictures in a random folder on my computer and wanted to share them before winter really and truly hits. Seems like it's been a strangely warm winter for many anyway.

I regret not spending much time outdoors this summer. It's been pretty cold and wet lately.

Sigh, I'm really missing beachy weather. I'm loving the bag in the second picture. It's perfect for bike riding!

As has been the case for quite a while, I've been finding the indoor pictures very charming indeed.

What are your plans this Christmas?

Like its name suggests, the clothing by Japanese fashion label Auntie Rosa is feminine, incorporates lots of florals and draws inspiration from vintage designs.

 

It seems to me that mori girls will be incorporating lots of fur and knits into their outfits this winter. There is so much scope for layering and playing around with textures during the winter months.

More knits, stoles, vests and winter hats will be making an appearance as the temperature falls.

Check back soon as there's more to come this winter!

Super Hakka is a Japanese brand I've wanted to feature for a while, but I could never find a website with pictures to post here. The fashion label has been featured in many Japanese magazines such as Spoon, Soup and Pretty Style. Loose shapes and lightweight fabrics make their dresses and tops perfect for mori girls.

Don't you just love the print on the first dress? There are snowflakes on the fabric! The second dress is simple without being boring and is perfect for everyday wear.

The first dress has such a fairy-like print, while the second would look great paired with sandals for a day at the beach, or with brown boots for an urban adventure.

The second dress features carousel horses, while the first dress has an autumnal air.

This dress gives off the ethnic or bohemian vibe that some mori girls love, while the polka-dotted scarf is simple yet whimsical and goes with anything.

Mori girls like accessories that are as functional as they are quaint, and these boots and backpack can very reliably take any mori girl out of summer and into fall.
