Hi friends! So sorry for the LONG hiatus from blogging - I've been in Japan!!
It's been such an amazing time so far and I wanted to share some of the photos. Back to regularly scheduled dressmaking/DIY programming this week!
I've been splitting my time between Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka with day trips to Kobe, Nara, and Himeji and it's been such an incredible experience. This is my first time to Japan, so I'm going a bit crazy stopping and OMG-ing every five minutes!
I mean...
...I literally found where magic began, at the Arishyama Bamboo Forest. Words cannot describe the beauty.
I've been flea marketing when it hasn't been pouring down...
...and the kimonos have been spectacular. I couldn't resist...
There have been 5 am sushi stops for some of the best scallops I've ever tasted...
...and TONS of photos in front of the coolest things I've ever seen. You make a big version of a dessert and you've got a #1 fan in me! Who doesn't want that waffle-y thing topped in ice cream?
The castles. The views. The views from castles. I've been speechless on this trip more than I have in my entire life.
And, the food. Oooooh weeeeeeeee, the food. How about freshly grilled seafood on skewers topped in a soy reduction glaze? *dead*.
What's a trip to Japan without a stop to see this cat. (PS, for more Japan pics, head over to Instagram!)
I can't wait to share more and get back onto a blogging routine. I already have a pin board of projects I want to start working on once I'm back. Stay tuned!!
