Angelic Pretty: Luminous Sanctuary

2015-06-18T17:37:00.001+02:00

Yet another Angelic Pretty release coming up! Luminous Sanctuary really has a classical feel to it and I think it will go well with the current trends in lolita. I love that the print is very different from other AP prints, its classic yet still really sweet. I actually love this on in the black colorway!

Angelic Pretty: Dreamy Planeterium

2015-06-18T17:33:00.000+02:00

Angelic Pretty is releasing a really cute space themed dress called 'dreamy planetarium'. I think all the colorways look really great and I love the cut of the OP with the big bow. If I was going to get it I would of wanted the lightest one, but I don't think this dress is quite my style! Can't wait to see great coords with this though!

Outfit: Sulley Decora

2015-06-15T12:18:00.000+02:00

I recently wore this decora outfit, I'm wearing monsters inc roomwear that I bought in Japan, its super comfy! I used to dress in decora a lot when I was younger and kind of miss it, I think its too bad that more people don't dress in this awesome and colorful style!

I always wear a lot of accessories with decora, bracelets and necklaces are a must! its never too much in decora. Try to use more neon bright colors rather than the muted pastels used in fairykei and sweet lolita. It should be a rainbow palette. I usually wear more than this but it was a kinda casual day.

Something that many people miss in decora is layering socks, it really makes it look more ott and less empty on the bottom part. I also like plushes in decora, like this carebear backpack. I also often use pokemon plushes and other kinds of smaller things I can attach to my clothes!

Hope you like this outfit that's a bit different!

Angelic Pretty: Misty Sky

2015-06-14T11:54:00.000+02:00

Misty Sky was re-released again and it sold out right away! No wonder since its been going for a lot of money second hand lately, its a really simple print but it really pops! I've seen it irl and it really looks amazing.~~

Angelic Pretty: Menuet Bouquet

2015-05-17T09:39:00.001+02:00

Angelic Pretty just released Menuet Bouquet, a beautiful floral print. I saw it in the fashion show at HelloCon and the colors really pop out! I'm really in love with the OP, it looks super different in the different colorways due to the accent ribbons. Bad news for anyone hoping to get their hands on it since its already sold out!

Lolita Lesson #4: Classic Lolita

2015-05-16T15:40:00.000+02:00

Classic Lolita is one of the three main Lolita styles (the other being Gothic and Sweet). It is characterized by a more historical, classy and lady like. The palette of Classic Lolita is muted nature colors like ivory, brown, beige, wine , navy and dusty pastels. Floral prints are common and prints featuring classical paintings. The theme is more inspired by historical clothing like Victorian and Rococo fashion. Due to classic being a more mature style many Lolitas turn to it as they get older. Natural haircolor and natural makeup is most popular. Lately Longer skirts have been gaining popularity which have led to discussion of when it stops being Lolita, though I think that new ideas are a good thing as long as the general aesthetic of Lolita fashion is kept. I think the full length dresses could be considered a form of Classic Aristocrat.

Some of the biggest Classic Lolita brands are Victorian Maiden, Innocent World, Juliet et Justine and Mary Magdalene.

I made a collage to help you get the general feel of the style visually:

None of these are any rules of the style, just descriptions of whats common so that you can get an idea of what the style looks like, so don't be afraid to experiment!

Alice and the Pirates: Starry Moonlight Night Sirene

2015-04-29T06:02:00.000+02:00

Alice and the Pirates is also to release a marine print, this one featuring a beautiful Siren! I think this print is really lovely though the only cut I like is the high waist OP, the other cuts feel a bit off on the proportions. As always from btssb and aatp the print is really detailed, which kinda makes a lot of it only visible up close.

Sirene is now up for reservations!

Angelic Pretty: Dolly Cat

2015-04-16T17:44:00.000+02:00

Still not released yet is Dolly Cat! Of all the prints from Angelic Pretty's sweet spring/summer collection this might be the sweetest! With how well all the dresses have been selling it seems that sweet Lolita is not at all dead. My favorite detail on these dresses is the contrasting ribbons, can't wait to see the other colorways! (Also kittens dude, kittens.)

Angelic Pretty release: Milky Berry Princess

2015-04-16T02:53:00.000+02:00

This dress will be coming out this upcoming weekend! At the rate Angelic Pretty's sweet prints have been selling this year so far, its safe to say stay up late and hurry up if you a piece of it. We'll see if people got enough of berries from last print or maybe more people will be jumping on it because they missed out on Cherry Marguerite.

Lolita Meet-up: Sven Harry's art museum

2015-04-12T20:33:00.000+02:00

Yesterday we had an awesome meet-up at Sven Harry's museum! We went around looking at awesome art and after that we had some tea at a close by cafe called Ritorno! Also later some of us had sushi at my favorite sushi place sushi yama.

The theme was 'witches' but I really did not have anything to go with the theme and ended up wearing Promenade de Paris.

To the left here is Bella, she really went for the theme and looked amazing in a skirt that she made herself. Also on the Right we have Melwin who wore a really cute old school Lolita outfit, I'm so jelly of the dress he is wearing.

Angelic Pretty: Mirage Castle

2015-04-12T19:39:00.001+02:00

I think Mirage Castle looks absolutely stunning, this cut is just amazing. Honestly If I had to guess who made this print without knowing I would of probably thought it was baby or aatp. Can't wait to see which other colorways it will come in, I think it can look really different depending on the color.

Also high hopes are on Angelic Pretty to release the men's wear also, but I think it might just of been made for the show. Though it would be amazing if they started doing more boy style clothing! This look is surprisingly ega rather than ouji.

Royal Princess Alice: new print

2015-04-09T15:00:00.000+02:00

Lolita bran Royal Princess Alice just announced this new print on their twitter. I don't know to much about this brand but I think this print looks super cute! It looks like an underwater castle, the dreamy pastel colors look really cute. The dress construction looks simple but good! I would totally consider getting this!

Angelic Pretty fashion show: Cherry Marguerite

2015-04-09T12:23:00.000+02:00

More clearer picture from Angelic Pretty's fashion show were posted since all prints have been pretty much revealed! I think the two girls wearing Cherry Marguerite look super cute! This really does make the dress look a lot better! Though I think the little collar to the OP just looks weird, doesn't need it at all! The print looks super cute, looking forward to gingham blouses and berry accessories!

Angelic Pretty Themes: Berries

2015-04-06T22:59:00.000+02:00

Angelic Pretty have released quite a few prints whit berry themes and I'm going to give you some history on them! Hope you enjoy it. See this as a way to learn some print names also.

the right side one.

Strawberry Princess

released: 2003

Going back to the old school before custom prints were a big thing in lolita. The simple patern reminds me of drained cherry, but I really miss this typ of detailed OP. This dress is perfect for a country lolita coord going out for a nice picnic.

Cherry Print

released: 2004

Sweet Berry

released: 2005

The name of this dress is unsure as Angelic Pretty released an other dress with the same name a year later. I think that since prints were not as big back then the names were not really that important to them either.

Sweet Berry

released: 2006

A few years later Angelic Pretty releases an other simple berry print. I like the earlier one more but this is also super cute. Prints were still not a big deal at this point. Solid colors were the thing in sweet lolita.

Ichigo Millfeuille

released: 2007

I really love this print and I think the mint colorway actually looks good, red and mint can be hard to coord. This dress can often be found for pretty cheap.

Pretty Cherry

released: 2008

Strawberry Picking

released: 2008

Sweet Ribbon Strawberry

released: 2008

This dress looks like a mess on a small picture but it has a lovely gingham print with rows of strawberries. I own this dress myself and I love it! It really has a old school lolita feel and the print looks great more up close!

Cherry Berry Bunny

released: 2009

This dress has the genius idea to mix lovely berries with really cute bunnies and the result is great! Boarder prints start to get more common and this is a good example of it, it's at this point where there started to be more focus on the print than on the dress details.

Milky Berry

released: 2010

Angelic Pretty continue to consistently produce berry prints every year. This time an other boarder print, I really love the look of this one. around 2010 is when OTT sweet lolita was really huge!

Strawberry Parlour

released: 2011

They again release a strawberry milkshake dress, the detailing on this dress is really cute!

Freshly Picked Strawberries

released: 2013

Drained Cherry

released: 2013

Really popular release, seems like people are looking for more casual dresses since OTT sweet is in a huge decline.

Berry Garden

released: 2014

I think this dress looks way to much like Freshly Picked Strawberries! They are both nice prints but really, they look the same.

Drained Cherry

re-released: 2015

Since it was popular it was released again and sold out pretty quickly again.

Cherry Marguerite

released: 2015

not yet released as I am writing this but there seems to be a lot of hype surrounding it, we'll see if it sells out quickly or not! Angelic Pretty have been releasing hit print after hit print. when will their customers run out of money to spend?

Melty Berry Princess

released: 2015

Also not yet released but really anticipated! I think all their prints have been really on point this year so far, cant wait to see coords with all these berry prints!

I will try to make more AP theme posts of people like this! Have a good berry coord? Comment with a link to it and I might feature you in a future post!

Angelic Pretty: Cherry Marguerite

2015-04-06T17:03:00.000+02:00

Angelic Pretty will be releasing the anticipated Cherry Marguerite this weekend, it will be interesting to see how quickly it sells out! My favorite this time is the red OP, I honestly don't like the other colorways that much but it will be interesting to see how people will coord them! Are you getting this one or are you still holding out for an other dream dress?
