Angelic Pretty: 7 New Upcoming Releases!

Angelic Pretty have now released pictures from their fall collection and I put them together here so you can keep track of whats coming up so you know if you might need to save your money. I like their Spring Summer collection more because its more my colors and style. But for you lolitas into the more dark colorways your season is coming up!

Cirque du L'etoile

A circus print mixed with tartan, feels like a mix of Star Night Theater and british bear. I think it looks nice but really not my style. I like the ponies though.

Antique Chocolaterie

I like chocolate dresses but for me I think this one will depend on the colorways. This color would be so hard to coord with, I have nothing in this color at all! I can only find this picture of it, hope we can see more soon.

Checkmate

This dress is not for me, next.

Princess Cat

Hey guys, this print has cats with glasses and tophats. These cats got swagger. So apparently this blue-green color is a thing in this collection, I wonder what more colorways this will come in! The jsk with the overlay confuses me, why?

Dolly Dot

Cute and Simple, I like it actually. The lavender is adorable, can't wait to see adorable coords with it! I hope this comes in a color that does not have black in it. Like a pink and sax version? Now that would be really adorable.

Milky Swan

One of the more sweet prints for the fall collection, its a bit too toned down and classic for my tastes, but I still like it and I think a lot of people will!

Romantic Little Garden

This print is cute but actually pretty boring. It looks like it could be any old flower print. I hope the colors are more bright in real life.

I hope there will be more than these prints coming up, I will keep you updated.

Outfit: Honey Cake

Recently I wore Honey Cake, I've had this dress for a long time and it's still one of my favorites! Many people ask me how I could get this 'rare' print and I find it funny since when it came out it wasn't really popular. Actually it was sold on sale from Angelic Pretty. I bought it cheap from mbok with headbow and matching bracelet. Then people started to seeing amazing coords with it and it gained popularity. Might of been that when it came out the sugary sweet style was still the thing.

Outfit rundown:

Dress, cutsew, bag, shoes, bracelet, ring: Angelic Pretty

socks: Baby the Stars Shine Bright

beret, hair bow, cherries, rosette: Made by me

sunglasses, bow ring: off brand 

Since my hair is blue now I decided to coord my honey cake with blue, there is actually a lot of blue in the print. And red really pops with this dress. I made the beret to match with this dress. I tried to keep with the food theme with adding the cherries, strawberry ring and 'drink me' socks. 

Did my make-up a bit differently, wanted a really doll like look with huge eyes.

8 Super Cute Angelic Pretty Bags

So far this year Angelic Pretty has been on fire with all the awesome bag designs so I wanted to share some with you and say what I think!! Just recently the released this cute strawberry bag, they have had strawberry bags before but this one is a bit different. The melting part is cute I like the beads since they look like sprinkles. I'm always iffy with the pink and red combo but most of their strawberry prints do have both so I think it would work quite well.

The heart with the arrow is really cute. I like the letter bag in white because it looks like a letter the most. They have done letter bags before but the heart with the arrow really makes it feel like a love letter. The heart bag is adorable, the little ribbon on the arrow is just perfect, though I prefer bags with longer straps.

Star shaped bags are very common but the candy stripes is such a nice idea, they look really cute and sparkly. I think these would look amazing with uchuu kei also. Still don't like short straps but I would still buy this!

This bag design is just so darling, I desperately want the blue one. They just look really fancy and pretty. The details are really cute, not much more to say than that this is probably my favorite of the bunch!

This is just another unpractical plush bag, it's really cute but the short handle just makes it unusable. would be cute to just have at home though!

With how popular the marine theme is this cute seashell bag fits right in with it! I love the bright shine with the ribbon in an other shade of pink. Its just really cute!

I love the contrasting colors on these! The are like big shiny pearls. Blue and pink is such a cute combo, so is the pink and white. Its really cute that the shoulder strap has a big bow on it also.

Metamorphose: Egg Art Series

Metamorphose recently released this really cute print! All the details on the boarder print is really cute, I'm not sure if I like it that much with the sharp harlequin pattern on the rest of the dress. But these sharper contrasts are common in Metamorphose designs. It comes in two colors and four different cuts. Even though the wine colored one has a better transition to the boarder print I think I like the black and white one more! The op looks cute, pretty simple bit probably comfortable, it has really cute trim on the bottom and the ribbons are a nice detail. The regular jsk is available as both a short and longer version which is nice for all the tall girls.

My favorite is the jsk without the boarder print. It's just really cute. I would love to have it in the black and white version. The tiers with black ruffles looks really cute.

Angelic Pretty: Diner Doll

Finally Angelic Pretty's print 'Diner Doll' will be released and it is so incredibly cute! I feel like the stock photos above don't even do it justice I mean just look at the print on the picture bellow. I mean there is just so much adorable things, I think this might be my favorite print from this season! Though the cuts are a bit simple and could be better so not sure it's my favorite dress, but might be. I want the jsk in mint so badly I just have to figure out how to afford it. The icecream, cakes, donuts, milkshakes and everything is just too cute. I need this in my life.

Mam Maxicimam: Bonbon Chocolat

Happy with again finding the wonderful silliness that is Mam Maxicimam I wanted to review another of their quirky dresses! First let me just say that yes their stock photos with faces are really creepy and twilight zone looking. It's like its going to come to life and kill you while being cute and giggling, but enough about the future nightmares I will have! I think the chocolate colorway is weird because the colors don't really suit the style of the dress. The pink and lavender combo is perfect for this style though! It has that fun harajuku fairy kei aesthetic. I feel this is the brand for the girl who just likes cute fashion and doesn't take lolita super seriously. Their quality isn't quite as high as btssb or AP but neither are their prices. It's nice that not all the brands do the same kind of thing. They make fun stuff and I would love to own some of their dresses!

To Alice: Bottle Bears

To Alice made this cute milk and bear themed dress! I like the print, the details are really adorable. Both Colorways look really nice, I often dislike dark colorways with pastel prints but I think it really goes together on this one. It might be that its almost only blue colors. I think they could of done some kind of background in the print, I feel like its lacking something. The cuts are pretty basic, as you all know I think jsk's are more fun to coord but the OP is really cute too for sure!

You might be thinking that I'm going more easy on To Alice compared to my 'Royal Princess Alice' reviews but this dress is only a 4th of the price so it can get away with more. Even so this just looks a lot more put together and finished. I also think their ideas are pretty original and doesn't follow what other brands are releasing currently. A really cute dress for a good price.

Video: Pop Art Speed Painting - Minori Portrait by Mintyfrills

Did a speed painting video for the first time, I draw this colorful portrait of Minori in it. So watch to see me drawing, in real time it took me two and a half hours!

Fashion Valentine: Minori

This week my fashion valentine is the talented shironuri artist Minori. I've had the joy to meet this lovely girl at two conventions and she is really nice and cute. She does amazing make-up that go perfectly with her outfits that she most of the time make herself. Minori has been a huge inspiration to me when it comes to shironuri. Don't forget to to go follow her on instagram and tumblr!

She looks so elegant in this, I love the soft colors and mix in textures. She looks a bit like a fabulous spirit of the forest. She always covers her arms and hands so there is no skin showing which keeps the look more consistent.

I really love this one, its just so cute! You can tell that she was inspired by my melody and made it really summery. That shade of pink is one of my favorite colors and it looks so perfect with the white flowers. She always does make-up that is very specific for the outfit she is wearing.

I just think she looks so cool in this one, she is often draped in lots of layers but here she has a more fitted style that still feels right since it has all the details. Also that hat is just amazing. You may have noticed that she wears really high shoes in most pictures, it looks cool but also she is really short in real life.

Minori also does more dark outfits like this one. I love when people can both stick to their aesthetic but still not lock themselves into a narrow field. This look is very different but it still fits in with her other ones perfectly.

Minori has done so many different looks and I love all of them! She is an amazing person that deserves all the praise she gets. I'm happy that I get to see her a lot during the conventions I met her at, since I was working at one of them and the other was a really small convention. The second time I met her I was so happy that she said she remembered me and that she followed me on tumblr. I always look forward to her new looks and I hope to meet her again!
