My blog shares music, movies, fashion, food, history, animals and people that I think are exciting. Heavy emphasis on all things girly. I love fashion from the 18th and 19th centuries. I grew up young and impressionable in the 80's and did alot of musical theater.

Mori "Forest Girl" style

Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter's world completely nails the Mori fashion in my opinion. Soft earthy colors, loose shapes, and she has a gentleness about her that complements the gentle feeling of this look. Plus I love her and Neville! LOL


Style Icons for this: Holly Hobbie (Remember the girl in the bonnet from the 70's?) and Little Red Riding Hood. This style leaves behind the dressy tendancies of Lolita and is more a narrative about a girl in the woods. No bell shapes really, lots of a-lines and baggy shapes but still soft and natural. This girl hikes in the woods, bakes breads over cakes, takes pictures and rides her bike. She is not a pretty princess but maybe one in the guise of a lovely peasant girl. I love this look because it's romantic without being fussy. It doesn't seem to hinge on looking young either, which in the last few years has become rather important to me. LOL
