Lolita Brand Yukata Set on Closet Child

Fans of Japanese street fashion Lolita might be interested in a yukata set currently for sale over at secondhand shop Closet Child, as the set is made by top-tier Lolita brand Angelic Pretty. It's one of their more famous prints as well, Strawberry Millefeuille.

The kimono-and-obi set is 14,800 yen (around $175 USD), and international shipping is available. The obi is a pre-tied type that comes in two pieces for easy wear.

If you'd like (much cheaper!) street-style Lolita and Goth style yukata, check out these sets over on Amazon:

Ebay: Family Crest Cell Phone Stickers

Those of you who have followed this blog for awhile probably know already about my love for the city of Sendai, and my fondness for all things from it. This includes stuff like sasakamaboko (bamboo-leaf shaped fish cakes), the Tanabata festival, and founder Date Masamune (now also a main character in the Sengoku Basara series).

I just ran across a Date Masamune family crest (kamon) cell phone sticker on Ebay. If I hadn't already happily spent all my September kimono money (yeah, I know it's the only the first, but more to come on that later), I'd buy it. Doh!

For those of you not on Team Sendai, the same seller also has the Shinsengumi and generic cherry blossoms and chrysanthemums. :)
