<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The longest day of the year has arrived, which means it’s the
peak of summer season here in Japan! You wouldn’t think so considering grey
skies dominate and beaches are yet to officially open. I always thought it
amusing that even if it was a very hot day, 99% of Japanese people won’t go to
the beach if it’s not officially beach season. I’ve been asked countless times if
South Africa experiences four seasons, and thinking it a silly question I’d
always say an astounding yes. After living here in Japan for nearly two years I
think I view that question in an entirely different sense. It has allowed me to
experience each season’s distinct foods, flora and festivals in all of their
cultural pride. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s honestly a pride
and distinction unlike anything I’ve ever experienced at home. The year is
actually further divided into 24 “sekki” which are given names that translate
into things like “summer solstice”, “small heat” and “large heat”. These
pictures I snapped in April can act as a final goodbye to Japanese spring and a
hello to the “large heat” that will soon grace us with its sweaty presence! </span></div>Trixie and Flohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07833964744302778999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155876380390721891.post-37506710584146114822012-06-05T19:19:00.003+09:002012-06-05T19:20:01.455+09:00I got a streetshot thrill in Osaka<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">A set of pictures that remind me of
some solo wanderings, times when I made the effort to notice my surroundings and
see the beauty in the little things: views from above and views from below,
sunsets and heavy skies, colours and textures, layers and landscapes.
Wordsworth describes it best: </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">There’s nothing like a good deadline in the form of an art
exhibition to motivate and inspire! Hiroshima’s Charity Art Bonanza provided
just that… an exhibition featuring work from 8 different artists, including
painting, photography, fashion and embroidery. The event was an incredible
success, raising just over 100 000 yen for “Brighter than Tomorrow”, a
charity run by Estelle Hebert, which supports the victims of the March 11
disaster in the fishing town of Funakoshi in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Sarah,
Harriet, Dave and Jackie did an amazing job organising, and thanks to everyone
that popped in for support. I couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon in the
city: chatting, sipping wine and appreciating unexpected talents. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">Check out my portfolio to read more about the three dresses I
exhibited as part of a range called “When I grow up”. In hopes of not sounding
too pretentious, I did attach personal meaning to each garment, and hope it
proves that fashion can also be a personally symbolic form of art. The last two
dresses have already been pinched but if you’re interested in purchasing the
first white one please drop me an email at </span><a href="mailto:trixieandflo@gmail.com"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; text-decoration: none;">trixieandflo@gmail.com</span></a><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">. Or just let me know what you think
of the range! xoxo </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">With summer approaching and the fresh memory of spring
blossoms, I’d been thinking about making one of these flower crowns for a
while. I’d seen the hippie headbands all over stores in April, but if like me,
you happen to be blessed with pixie ears and thin hair, you’re going to need something
with a little more structure. If you know me well, you’ll know I’m a hippie at
heart so I couldn’t wait to get my hands on some silk flowers and wire and get
to work. Thanks to <a href="http://bleubirdvintage.typepad.com/blog/2011/03/diy-flower-crown.html" target="_blank">Bleubird</a> and <a href="http://greenweddingshoes.com/diy-flower-crown/" target="_blank">Green Wedding Shoes</a> for the inspiration and
know how, and thanks to Sayo for snapping my end result. What do you think? Hope you like it! xoxo.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">After a morning of shopping and wandering through a drizzly
Harajuku, a lunch hunt began as we tracked down the ever swanky Omotesando
Hills shopping complex, designed by renowned architect, Tadao Ando. The hunt
led us up to the top floor, to Salvatore Cuomo, a gorgeous Italian restaurant
that offers a daily lunch buffet between 11am and 3pm. For just 2200 yen we
could each order a main dish pizza (highly recommended) or pasta, and then help
ourselves to the appetizer, dessert and drinks buffet. It was an absolute
pleasure meal for sure and as the sun peeped in, we felt full and refreshed,
ready to head back to Harajuku’s streets for an afternoon of sightseeing. </span></div>Trixie and Flohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07833964744302778999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155876380390721891.post-59410979089092948902012-04-20T22:14:00.000+09:002012-05-01T15:31:49.218+09:00Is there a better birthday present than full blooming cherry blossoms?<div style="text-align: center;">The best part is I took all of these pictures on my birthday within a 15 minute walk from my apartment</div><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Well, it’s been a year long journey of blogging for Trixie and Flo. To be honest, when I started this blog I wasn’t sure of its direction or purpose. I may not be famous and it may not have thousands of followers, but it has become something very personal to me. It has provided a platform for some much needed self-branding and it consistently pushes me to be more creative, do more, see more, take better pictures, network and make more connections. So I’d like to say thanks to all those that check it out and I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have. In true first birthday celebratory style, and to say thanks to all of Trixie and Flo’s followers, I’m officially hosting this blog’s first giveaway!! The prize? A dear pair of hand painted 100% silk vintage earrings. All you have to do to enter is be a follower of the blog, either on google follow or bloglovin, and then comment on this post with your first name, email address and your favourite item from the <a href="http://shoptrixieandflo.blogspot.jp/" target="_blank">blogstore</a> or <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/trixieandflo?ref=si_shop" target="_blank">etsy store.</a> Simple as that! I’ll be announcing the winner on April 22<sup>nd</sup>. xoxo</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">That just happened! I'm so excited I had to post this immediately. Yes, I'm at home at 10pm on a Friday night baking, but I'm smiling from ear to ear. My friend mentioned hot cross buns the other day and the craving got me and I just HAD to try. We can’t buy them in Japan so homemade is officially the new “Woolworths”. I used <a href="http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/cuisine/european/english/hot-cross-buns.html" target="_blank">this</a> recipe (thanks Sarah!), and have (of course) already sampled the final product…only thing I’d change is to add more spices. It may have been because I had to make my own mixed spice concoction. I used a teaspoon of cinnamon and sprinkling of nutmeg and ginger but they definitely need more. I also left out the peel because peel just doesn’t rock my boat, sorry peel. My little toaster oven is such a trooper, it’s so tiny I could only bake three at a time! If you’re in Japan and want to try baking them in a toaster oven, cover the top with tinfoil for the first 10 minutes and then let them brown for the last five…else they’ll burn ya’hear. Happy baking, and Happy Easter everyone xoxo.</span></div>Trixie and Flohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07833964744302778999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155876380390721891.post-79748326897552994312012-04-05T20:28:00.002+09:002012-04-05T20:31:08.905+09:00Seoul food<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">(well…Busan as well, but that would’ve ruined my play on words)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Some of the kimchi even had me shedding a tear or two. It makes me a little nervous for any future Asian travels because I absolutely love trying new food but I just can’t handle the spice. Living in Japan hasn’t exactly helped…with the exception of wasabi I can’t think of a single food here that packs a punch. Better start on operation taste bud spicy bootcamp. I think a couple of Durban samoosas would be a good start<span style="font-size: x-small;">.</span></span><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 150%;"></span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I think I’m still having nightmares about it. After some recovery time and leisurely meandering we headed upstairs to the open-plan restaurant section. We were led to a table and ordered (well we weren’t really sure what we had ordered) but ended up with a table full of seafood dishes, sidedishes and beer. We left full and happy, beaming at the success of our first Korean meal. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I love food that involves experience…and sitting together at a grill, with plates of meat and a multitude of sidedishes, while cooking it up ourselves and chatting about the previous night’s antics all seems a sweet memory to me now. Our looks of apprehension had the very pushy/disguisedly sweet Korean waitress picking up our food for us and showing us how to wrap the meat, rice and sidedishes in a perilla leaf and then gesturing to eat up with our hands. It was glorious, and I even tried one with a whole clove of garlic in it, which no doubt led me to tears again. Gogigui places are everywhere, so just ask your hostel/hotel to recommend a good one. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

We were beckoned into a restaurant, which at first I was apprehensive about entering. I assumed if they were desperate for business their food wouldn’t be so great, but we obliged, a little out of fear (I’d be scared to ever say no to a feisty Korean woman), and ended up having a perfect bibimbap meal. It’s a rice dish mixed up mainly with seaweed, vegetables and a fried/raw egg. They served up the gochujang (chilli pepper paste) on the side so my weak taste buds and I could add it in moderation. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

We passed this colourful group while strolling down Omotesando dori on a chilly March Saturday afternoon and I had exactly one second to whip out the camera and snap a pic. I love that dressing up and hitting the town is a weekend hobby for these girls.

The dissertation study that sparked this fashion range explores the possibility of using street style fashion as a means of rebranding South African identity, and was motivated by the need for a more relevant and contemporary local fashion identity. It explores the benefits of rebranding local identity, and highlights the relationship between national brands and fashion identity. The study aims to represent the South Africa of today, the South Africa that is described as a “potjie” of culture, warm and full of different ingredients and surprises, which has taken centuries to develop its unique and rich flavour (A – Z of South African culture, 2008). </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-right: 1.3pt; tab-stops: 414.0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">The study considered the views and perceptions of a young, high street fashion market who received questionnaires via Facebook. The questionnaire responses revealed the sample’s opinions regarding the value of national rebranding, the phenomenon of street style, and the multi-faceted South African fashion identity. Both the empirical investigation and the reviewed literature revealed South Africa as a progressive nation in terms of the potential of the South African fashion industry and the development of a unique country brand.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-right: 1.3pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-right: 1.3pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">The practical component of this study involved the combination of traditional South African clothing characteristics with those of modern street style, to create a uniquely South African, high street fashion range. In hopes of achieving a quirky, street style feel, I mixed self-designed and hand-made garments with second hand clothing. This fashion range hopes to encourage a uniquely South African design aesthetic among local designers, and a motivation for a much needed patriotic boost on behalf of the South African fashion consumer. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-right: 1.3pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

We’d help our mom make the batter and then watch in anticipation as she cooked them up, until finally, she’d give us a chance to pour crazy shapes into the pan at the end. What a nostalgically apt post this is, seeing as my mom and dad have just arrived in Japan and I’ll be meeting up with them in Osaka tomorrow.

It often just feels like mission impossible when you’re wondering around back alley Japan in hopes of stumbling upon something incredible. I’ve often found that a lot of cafes and restaurants here are so unassuming, so hidden you’d never find them unless you had the inside scoop. Or if you did, there’s sometimes an unexplainable intimidation preventing you from peeping in somewhere that looks cute and cosy, as if you’d be interrupting some intimate moment behind a restaurant curtain. Well, I’m here to share…and I’m really excited to be blogging about this place. It’s called “&S” and is a beautiful mix of creepy, gorgeous and cosy. I could’ve sat there all afternoon, though considering the size of their set lunch, it’s as if they want you there all day. This is possibly the first time I haven’t been able to finish a restaurant meal in Japan. I loved the price too, for just 850yen you can choose between four set lunches that includes soup, salad, main meal, dessert and drink. The dinner menu looked gorgeous too so I’ll definitely be back! Their attention to décor detail is impeccable and the chef in top hat just adds to the whole charm of the place. So no excuses, use <a href="http://maps.google.co.uk/?q=loc:34.493612,133.376813+%28%E5%90%8D%E6%9B%B2%E5%96%AB%E8%8C%B6%E3%82%A2%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B8%29&sll=34.493612,133.376813" target="_blank">this map</a> and go, go, go. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
