Fashion Valentine: Emilia

This week my fashion valentine is my dear friend Emilia, also known as Pastelbat! She has an amazing fashion sense and can make any style look amazing. She has always been a trendsetter and is really creative. She also makes accessories that she sells online and at events. Be sure to go follow her on tumblr and instagram for more outfits!

I really love the retro type style that Emilia has been dressing in lately. She looks absolutely stunning in all her outfits. On the left I love the black gingham with pastel pink, it just looks classy and expensive. The look to the right is simple but still looks super fashionable somehow!

Emilia also does very cute more pop style outfits too. Both these look so comfortable and super adorable. The overalls with all the pink on is really cute. 

Emilia used to dress more in lolita before but still had some lolita pieces that she uses now and then. I think that she really brings style elements from the other styles she dress in into lolita which results in some really creative outfits! 

Emilia keeps surprising me with new creative outfits and I just cant wait to see what she comes up with next! These two outfits look really fancy and doll like, love it! She is also a really good friend, I have known her for over five years and she has always been a very kind person.

Fashion Valentine: Cadney

My fashion valentine this week is Stephanie Christina, known online as Cadney. She is from Toronto in Canada and been in the fashion for a long time. She was one of the people that inspired me to get into lolita fashion with her adorable ott sweet coords. I always loved dressing in a lot of colors with lots of accessories and she showed that all that also could be a part of lolita. Go follow her on instagram and tumblr for more fantastic outfit picture.

Cadney had a great sense of color balancing, every part of her outfits feels so thought out. Like in the left she picks out all the colors from the print and uses them in her accessories. On the left I love that she sticks to the theme of Dream Marine. Both the obvious seashell bag and necklace but I also think the fabric of the blouse being sheer gives a really nice feel of water that just ties it together so well. Also I must say that she makes her glasses go perfect with the outfits. 

No matter what the color of the dress she always perfectly matches the colors. Every outfit I see her in feels so thought out, like every detail has been carefully planed. Like on the left she has the red, blue and white from the outfit. But also adds small black bows because there are black details in the print. Such perfect attention to detail.

I love any coord she does with Milky Planet (seen above) and it became my dream dress because of the outfits I saw her making with them. I get so inspired by any outfit she posts and it makes me want to do better too! Cadney has been such a huge inspiration for me since I started lolita and last year I finally got to meet her face to face. It was really amazing, she is such a wonderful person. She does a lot for her local lolita community and really cares about others. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me for so many years and I hope to meet you again one day.

Angelic Pretty: Elisabeth Unicorn

This weekend Angelic Pretty is releasing Elisabeth Unicorn, yet an other pony print that is think has a really classic look. The colorways are interesting and the different colorways look really good. I think this is a gorgeous print and I wish anyone that's going to try and get it good luck! If my economy was a bit better I would go into the fight too. I think this will be gone in seconds.

Here is some advice on how to buy from Angelic Pretty:

Angelic Pretty: Lady Christine

Fresh new on the Angelic Pretty online store is the 'Lady Christine' OP. It has a lovely princess feel that I more often expect from btssb. That said I really like it. They also released a matching bonnet, and you all know I love my bonnets. If you want this dress it will set you back 47,304 yen +10,584 yen for the bonnet. What do you all think of this dress? Lacemonster or perfect princess? I like the fancy princess sleeve OP's but I find them kinda boring to coord.

Angelic Pretty: Twinkle Sky

Another sky themed print from Angelic Pretty, It's really cute and I think it would be great for more casual coords. I really love the blue colorway, I think it could look really cool! Look forward to seeing outfits with this one.

Angelic Pretty: Chess Emblem

Angelic Pretty have made a new print featuring chess motifs, continuing in the fall colors. It reminds me of Wonder Queen and I think this might be pretty popular, so if you want to get it you better be ready right when it goes up because it wont be there for long. I like the military feel that it has, I think the navy colorway is my favorite though all of them look quite nice. The big ribbon is a nice touch! What do you think of this new print? I made a collage of the pictures I found of it.
