Places I would love to visit

So, I would love to explore more Japanese Gardens because I've only been to one and I loved it. Adam took me to the Japanese Tea Gardens in San Fransisco and I loved it sadly I didn't take pictures and I wasn't dressed in Kimono. But when I visit these places I would love to visit them in kimono and take pictures. I want to expand my kimono adventures because I mostly have them at Anime Conventions which I love but I don't want to limit myself at all.

Kimono Photo shoot at school

For fun today me and Adam had a photo shoot at school. He did an awesome job and I felt really pretty. *^-^* He's such a good boyfriend and I'm so lucky to have him in my life. <3

Shiemi from Blue Exorcist

I love this anime and I have decided to cosplay Shiemi! I love her whole look and im going to try to get it as accurate as possiable i THINK I found a good kimono thats close enough color and motif wise. I also bought a cheap lace collar too. <3 Unfortuantly I lost the kimono above but I have two alternative kimono that seem to be Shiemi's style. I also bought the wig and im contmplanting about buying a plushie of her gardien demon spirt.

Lantern Pattern Kimono

So by chance I came across a motif ive never seen on kimono before and it was so cute I couldnt pass it up. Ive been avoiding buying kimono items but lantern motif is just to cute!

Kintoki con

So just got back from kintoki con it was great! Very well put togther had a wounderful location great staff & well organized for such a small anime con starting out. Over all I say I had a wounderful time. I did two panels and both turn outs where very small I think I had a total of 8 for both panels combined. I kinda got worried cause they made me sound like an expert which I didn't feel comfterable being called so. I love kimono and I've been into it for years, I've read books and yes I can wear them but I don't know everything! Other then that I was cool with it. I hope people had a good time. ^ ^ I was my dorky sarcastic self & I generaly don't like public speaking & I know I don't have the best social skills in the world. >< Direct eye contact with strangers freaks me out & gives me anxiety but I did the panels to over come my issues. I thinked it helped a bit. I met some really nice people, one a man named Eric a cheif who wants to start making the jointed dolls with paper kimono. Offered me Sushi for my knowldge & help but I'm not quite sure if he was hitting on me (I turned red cause he was very attractive Japanese man). That and a guy suggested that I do twister in kimno because it would be indecent O_0 I totaly got embarrased but went with it cause I knew he was joking but it felt like A comeon. I don't do well with men making the 1st move all I can do is repeatedly stammer I have a boyfriend and turn red in the face. But I was flattered though!
I only remmbered to take pictures of my day one kistuke but forgot to take a picture for today's panel. ^ ^ I dressed my friend Tanya up in my baby blue furisode today & I wore my navy blue houmongi kimono today.

Mint condition houmongi & color cordination for obi

I just love this navy blue houmongi kimono so much & I've just been playing with some obi and obiage color combo's. Feel free to point out your picks.

Blue love

I am very much happy I won another formal kimono yay more homongi! ^ ^ This color will look amazing on me I hope it fits. It might be a little small =(. $40.20 not bad for this baby!
