Mori girl interiors

Several months back, a Mori Girls Interior Magazine was published showcasing some truly lovely examples of mori girl-inspired interior design.

The key thing to remember when creating a mori girl-inspired interior is the subtle use of plants. A few stalks or a tiny bunch of flowers in shades such as yellow and cream, placed in simple glass vases or bottles, would be perfect.

Another thing to remember is to let in lots of natural light. So keep curtains light and airy. Large windows are always a plus.

While the look should be light and generally uncluttered, it's okay to make a bit of a mess here and there, especially when there are many things to be stored. Just use lots of shelves and drawers, preferably made of wood.

Let the quirky spirit of mori girls shine through with some well-placed decorative items and pictures.

Brighter colours can be used too if you prefer a bolder look.

Home is where you dream and cry, it's where you feel the most human.

Syrup Winter 2010 catalogue

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.

SM2 Winter 2010

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.
