Kitsune (keetsoonay), my blognamessake, means 'fox' in Japanese. I've always felt drawn to these creatures for their mixture of elegance and mischievousness, and the way their beautiful coloring boldly stands out against their surroundings. I found this mask on ebay, and while it wasn't necessarily a fox, I picked it up in hopes of channeling one for some fun photos.

The light as the sun came up this morning was spectacularly vibrant, and it was definitely worth getting up at the crack of dawn and suffering frozen fingers and toes for the mood and colour the camera was able to capture. I wish I could really convey what it looked like and felt like to be there at that moment, as I'm sure you can imagine how much more bright, golden, glowy, and soft the whole scene was in real life. It's one of those painfully, permanently ineffable things though. The images are what I can share.

Dress: thrifted from Mode Off, Ueno, Japan. Leggings: H&M

    I love getting up with the sun for the sake of a good photo.
    Last night was so foggy and gorgeous outside, and I was desperate to take photos but the rain prevented me from subjecting my camera to the elements.
    I love how you dress matches the colors! another perfect photoshoot.

    That is one of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen and I believe you when you say it must have been so worth it to get up at the crack of dawn to experience this!

    My boyfriend and I did the same thing in Hawaii and the sunrise was simply spectacular :)

    I LOVE your thoughtful Halloween outfit and think you are so beautiful! Love your little fort picnic going on in your previous post... those blue and white teacups are so lovely too!

    Love your style!

    These are stunning! You have always had beautiful posts, but you have seriously been stepping things up a good 5 notches lately! Everything is whimsical and seems well thought out and I love them all! Also, I found out I have been saying your blog name (or more I guess, thinking your blog name) wrong all of this time haha. Oops!
    Hope you're having a beautiful day & thanks for the inspiration!

    That mask is super awesome! I can definitely see it as a fox! Also, it always makes me a little sad that my camera never quite seems to capture how my surroundings feel to me! These pictures are beautiful, however! They definitely have a soft, golden feel!
