Aoi Yu in this Spoon magazine editorial is beautiful as always, but I am particularly captivated by the styling! I discovered this on Mori Girl - a blog dedicated to the Japanese subculture of "forest girls", via Daydream Lily. And how serendipitous that I just purchased the Japanese magazine, Forest Girl, chronicling every detail of the mori girl lifestyle, from Kinokuniya last week.

But ultimately, I think in every society, there has always been pockets of people who favour the old and the rustic, the slow and the lovely.
