Paperdolls

When I was a kid I used to play a lot with the now nostalgic paperdolls. I loved to mix and match those little clothes made of paper and find endless combinations. It was such a fascinating game for me. Years later I started playing around with the so-called Kiss Dolls. A Kiss Dolls is basically a paperdoll made of pixels. At the time I used to draw dolls in pixel all the time, and one of my dreams was to build my own Kiss Doll, but the programming part has always scared me to death. I hate programming, yes I do. Today, while lazily browsing HeM I found out their "Fashion Studio", a clever evolution of paperdolls, which also simplifies the whole shopping-process.

These are some of my pics, something I would wear for the upcoming fall. Yes, I'm already excited about fall. I would also love to see more outfits created by using this software, so please link your creation in the comments!

I already got the poncho.

Ayana and Yasu

Ayana and Yasu are two Japanese friends I met in college. I met Yasu during my first year at Waseda, during an architecture class. You know when you see someone and then you wish you could be friends with them? Something like that happened with him. I don't really remember how we started talking, but I knew we would eventually become friends. Yasu then introduced me to Ayana, since the three of us (plus another energetic friend, Chi-chan) were taking the same class, about the discovery and research of Dinosaurs. Call me random.

Yasu is always smiling, and his style is often colorful and ironic. His signature garment? Denim vests. Yasu also owns a special denim vest, painted on the back by one of his friends. Yasu is also a music lover, and sometimes a DJ.
Yasu's blog: NIPPON NO NINGEN

Ayana is a graceful young Japanese woman. Her style is incredibly neat and harmonious. She has a preference for stripes, possibly in navy blue or red. Ayana's hair is always nice, and this haircut is so lovely and looks great on her.
