Japanese Word of the Month and Did You Know?

Natsu- Summer

Natsu is a very popular season in Japan and many Japanese people have barbeques in which they cook Yakiniku (beef) ,Yakitori (chicken), and yasai (vegetables)! You will see many people having BBQs at the beach and parks. They are a little different then the "American" BBQ on which rather then big grills they use a little clay box with metal wires and rather then the hamburger or hotdog they grill fish, various meats and pumpkins and many other vegetables popular in the season.
When Natsu comes near an end,In  August it is celebrated with the Bon festival which is an important Japanese tradition to honor ancestors. Most Japanese people take summer vacation during this time.

Anyone who has ever wanted to visit Japan should definitely come during Natsu and if you want to see a traditional Japanese festival then the Bon (Obon) Festival is a must! It goes from August 13-16.

Buys & Reviews: The Milly Amia Top

....What can I say about the Milly Amia top? .......


Stunning, chic, vibrant, well you get the picture. I can go on and on about this top but I really think the first three descriptions pretty much sum it up. I love this top, I had ordered this beauty from Piperlime because it was virtually sold out everywhere else..grrrr...I was sooo soo lucky when this top came back on Piperlime with my size^^so of course to my delight I rushed and bought this before it sold out again!
Yes it is pricey but I have to honestly say: Very much worth the hefty price tag.

Rating: ☆☆☆ out of ☆☆☆☆
Price: $295.00 (not cheap....but its worth it I swear)

Fit:
Honestly this top flatters smaller bust women, Sorry my big busted sisters out there. It really flatters girls like me with a more broader shoulder.I would suggest one size up, even though it  does fit true to size it will cling and I like my tops a little billowy and it does fit a little snug at the chest, hence why I say not a top for big busted gals...this top definitely looks  better if  fitted a little loose. It is sheer so I would suggest a tank . Over all It is a gorgeous top and I do not regret splurging on this beauty. Oh! and the cute buttons on the shoulder and along the side are a pretty touch!

Stores that still have this top in stock:
