Listening & Studying

"Dandelion record and Emporium" is a cool store, they are selling records and gifts, is located on main street.

I often visit there, not only just by myself, it is good to visit with my boyfriend, while he is stacking to dig the records, I'm looking for "zakka(things)"s and books.

They have selected local designer's items also!

My mother's work

A 60's magazine, my mother bought it when she had a sewing studio.

I designed and asked my mother to make the dress when I was in an art school.

A-line powder blue coat.

Madras check dress

Madras check dress remind me "Classical American fashion" and "lemonade" .

I remember my mother made a beautiful madras check dress for herself. Then I was around 15 yrs old, was curious about other country's culture.The dress was like indicating "American summer style" to me, and asked her to try.

Unfortunately, it wasn't suit for me.It is kind of bitter memory, still I'm not like a "dress" type girl.I mostly wear pants.

Anyways, recently I watched 90's Japanese movie, a character in the movie worn a Madras check dress. It remind me the memory and dress.

So - I checked some nice classical Madras check dresses.

Very classical and chic.
