This photo was taken by my love on christmas day. i was wearing my hikizuri Wave Storm with my gold odori obi. it was the first time i dressed on hikizuri. i hope you enjoy it! ;)

Wave Storm

Wonderful,yet strange,i've won this dance hikizuri for only 29$(without shipping). No one else bid so was my chance *_* It has some strange mistery and beauty.

There have been a lot of hikizuris on ebay lately,and they are not so expensive as we first tought. keep on looking,you may get one like this!

My First Katsura

I got my first katsura finally! it is on it's way home *_*

Four Hime Furisode

This is my first furisode,i'm anxious for it to arrive! for me,the ideia of having a furisode was so far away...because they are always so expensive and difficult to win at the auctions.
But then i've found this one,not in auction but "buy it now",with my 3 favorite colors and...it has heian hime! not one but four! i couldn't believe my eyes. I've bought it and i doubt that there are furisode more beautiful than mine! even if you try you won't find for sure :P this furisode's beauty is rare and i'm so happy to have it!

Stunning Geiko's Hikizuri

This is my first Geisha's Hikizuri,it arrived today! i'm so happy (^.^oo

as you see it is stunning and unique. i believe it is a formal hikizuri wich belonged to a senior geiko. It is sooo heavy and long,7kg and almost 205cm.It will be hard to wear it,but i can't wait for a special ocassion to do it *.*

Thank you so much my love!

The brick walls that are in our way are there for a reason: they are not there to keep us out, they are there to give us a way to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough.

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you wanted.

(i think i need to put more walls around me...to see who really want me that badly.)

First day in kimono

I did it!This is me,wearing kimono for the first time.
the kimono is a kakeshita,the obi is a fukuro with otaiko musubi and in my feet the okobo.
hope you enjoy and please comment!
