CUTE TOYS
... did you used to spin around in scarves when you were little? Cause I totally did. You have to see these cute stores.

NIGHTSHIRTS - Anyone have any suggestions for sites with cute oversized-shirt-style nightshirts? I don't want anything with complicated seams or anything like that, just something with cupcakes, crowns or cute crap on it. Must be super soft.

KITSUKE PRACTICE:
This was me in Sept 2006. (lots of errors in my coordination and dressing technique)
This is me now after a few months of classes with sensei Akutagawa. I'm really pleased with my progress. I feel a lot more comfortable and relaxed in kimono now, too. I started taking classes with her in about July of this year.

:) I'm really looking forward to the VOLKS DOLPA (this weekend.) VOLKS events are always lovely, but there are so many people coming from out of town who I can't wait to see. I'm going to try to wear my maple leaf kimono.

A video of the Formal Kimono Show event thanks to Mme. Kanawa. (I'm the first one in pink.) I need to practice walking more though! haha!

Your pink kimono is my favorite! I also like the other Aimee-san's kimono with the Peonies!

I think your walk is fine :) It's very hard to walk in a dainty way when you're tall (this is why I never wear heels!)

Very cool! Love the furisode that you're wearing :)
