Art Gallery – Custom Calligraphy

Diane Tuesday, May 17th, 2016 Tuesday, May 17th, 2016Art Gallery art, calligraphy, custom, logo, pretty 0

My lovely friend Catherine has been experimenting with beautiful calligraphy recently. I asked if she could do something with my blog title and logo, and let her essentially have free rein. This beautiful piece is what she came up with after showing me several possibilities, and I absolutely love it. It feels very visually balanced and straddles the line between traditional and modern in a way that I find very appealing. If you would like custom calligraphy of your own, Catherine takes commissions and you can view her portfolio on instagram.

    Kimono Tsuki

    Since today is #hinamatsuri🎎 I thought I would Since today is #hinamatsuri🎎 I thought I would share this adorable @re_ment_official set! And yes I have had it for a week and already lost one of the hishimochi... oops

This is one of those coordinations I've wanted to do from the very moment I got this kimono, and have just been putting off for one reason or another for years. It was high time I fixed that! This past Thursday was my 42nd birthday, and this coordinate has auspicious motifs of hayama and kagami (arrows and mirrors) and my favourite colour (teal) so I decided it was finally time to do it.

A while back, I came across Kiyoko Beauty, a Canadian company dedicated to making Japanese and Korean beauty more accessible here in North America (they ship to the US as well!). I gave them a budget and asked for product suggestions to feature, and they were kind enough to work with me to basically double what I was able to get for my budget.

Happy Halloween! An appropriate day to raise myself from the dead, I think. I've just been incredibly busy, travelling and working and whatnot, but I do have some stuff in the works for the next little while.

I knew I had to get this one up today, though. The "obi" is too perfect for a classy and creepy outfit. Funny thing is, it's not an obi at all. It's two table runners from Target!
