Inhouse Models!

We have LOVED featuring our own staff this past week as our favorite models on Facebook!  We teamed together with our sister organization, Megumi Project.  Each of the women wore a Megumi scarf with a Nozomi accessory.  Here are a few that we have featured so far.  Aren't they beautiful?

Our Nozomi Project manager looks beautiful every day, but wearing this chic silky scarf and peach earrings makes her shine.  Find YOUR best color, and earrings to match. (Customers who order from one of our online stores will receive a free shipping coupon to order from our partner store). 
のぞみマネージャーのゆうこさんは毎日とってもきれい。でも今日特に輝いているのは、絹のような肌触りのシックなスカーフと桃色のイヤリングをつけているから。あなたにぴったりの色は何色?ぜひ探してみてください。(のぞみか恵のオンラインストアで商品を購入された方は、もう片方のプロジェクトでの購入時に送料が無料になるキャンペーン中!)

 Emi - You don’t need to live in Japan to wear these stylish ribbon scarves.  Style it around your waist, wear it around your neck, or tied in your hair as a long headband, you will love the versatility and the style of these one-of-a-kind repurposed scarves.  Emi completes her beautiful outfit with a matching luminous necklace from our Noa collection. 
どんなシーンにも使えるリボンスカーフ。ベルト代わりに腰に巻いたり、ネックレス感覚で首に巻いたり、ヘアバンドにもできる優れもの。おしゃれ度アップすること間違い無しです!えみさんは、輝く明るさを持ち合わせたNoaのネックレスを一緒にコーディネートしています。

 

For the young at heart!  Ayako is sporting a playful Megumi Project ribbon scarf (click here to see other options) with matching sky blue Mio earrings (see the selection of earrings at Nozomi Project here).  Repurposed has never been so fun.
