Pretty underwear

By



Besides un nana cool undies, I think Peach John is my second favorite place to shop my underwear. My sister gets a catalog from them quarterly, and I love just looking at different PJs and cute under wears. Especially those Hello Kitty undies! I am not sure if I will actually wear it, but I cannot deny the fact that I am attracted in them.

I am also attracted to leotards now. I think it is perfect to wear it with high waisted skirts. And it keeps your warm as well, how practical! Although, they kind of make me feel like a baby. I love the leopard one above, and Peach John also had small alphabet pattern (don’t have pic) leotard, which was extremely cute.

Sorry for the blury pictures.

Aren’t these underwear lovely? They almost look like bathing suit! They are from une nana cool. I have been using their underwear collections only (although, I cheated once when I found a non-wired black lace bra from H&M this summer) since I found out their shop three years ago. Half of their collection is non-wired, but has an elastic band under bust, and extremely comfortable for someone like me, who have flat chests. If you are like me, you know how uncomfortable it is to have a hard wire pressing your bone under neath your boobs… It doesn’t happen with these guys, and I am so happy to have found out their store!

Fabric shopping in Nippori

By

Two weeks ago in Philly, I had to give away all my fabric stash, probably about three or four big bags full of them. It was so sad because I had some plan for those fabrics, but never got to it. And there was no way I could take them all, because shipping is so expensive, it is like 130 bucks for 30 pounds.

Today I went to a fabric shopping in Nippori, which is like a fabric row of Japan. It is right off the JR Nippori station, and when you get out of east exit and walk straight ahead, you will start to see row of fabric shops and cheap clothing stores.

Two bags of goodies from Tomato (best fabric shop in Nippori in my opinion)!
Here is what I got:
1. hot pink stretch knit for fall dress
2. blue stretch knit – planning to make a dress to wear for my friend’s wedding in the end of September. Considering making a one-shoulder dress, which would be my first try!
3. Sailor cotton fabric..isn’t this fabric way too cute?
4. Polka dot
5. Khaki suiting fabric to make more of circle skirt
