Life by me

Lady-like dreams

This blog has been moved, and transformed into a more sophisticated version, here.

FRUITS July

Here is my favourite from the FRUITS July issue.

I love her way of combining different black garments without looking boring.

FUMIO

Lovely dresses by FUMIO.

Yukata

Since I will spend my summer in Tokyo (and Shikoku) I’ve decided to take the chance and buy/wear a yukata! I’m planning in visiting some festivals, so it would be nice to dress up in one.

I know UNIQLO has some cheap and pretty ones, with a maching obi set.
Hopefully they will still be available in July.

Also here are some other designs I like:

from yukataichiba

I guess I preffer light base before the black ones (like white, cream or pink). Also I love the flower patterns. The colours should be gold/purple, and a little pink. Not blue.

So based on that here is my top 3!

The following dress is my ABSOLUTE favourite.

Akris Punto

I’ve fallen in love with the brand Akris Punto.
Now it’s a bit expensive for a poor, part-time working student as myself,
but I hope that in a soon future I’ll be able to own my own piece of this brand.

Here is some of the items from the pre-fall 2009 collection:
