Baby The Stars Shine Bright: ❤ Kumya chan’s Love Love Valentine ❤

Perfect in time for valentine coming up Baby released Kumya chan’s Love Love Valentine. A cute valentine themed print with plushies and hearts. I'm not sure what I think of this print, I don't like all the brown details on the top part of the print. The baby pink version doesnt have it but the pink is too pale. This print is really not my style but the plushies are really adorable. 

I like the shape of the high waist version and I think it suits this style. Though the scallop detailing on the other jsk looks really cute, even more on the red version where you can see the white trim. The heart on the side is a nice tough also. 

I think this print probably looks a lot better in real life because when its small it looks messy. The closeups of the print makes it look a lot better. It's a cute dress if you like btssb's aesthetic generally.

Baby The Stars Shine Bright: Twinkle Fairy

I really love Btssb's lovely dreamy dress Twinkle Fairy. It reminds me of Cinderella, like its right out of a disney movie. The fabric on the blue version has such amazing shimmer almost looking a bit like holo fabric. The style of overlay really suits the style and doesn't look just thrown on there since it has a nice shape, edges with trim and the cute front ribbon. 

A nice thing about Btssb dresses is that you can remove and change around most big details which makes the dress a lot more versatile. As you can see above here the dress look can be worn really casual without any of the extras and still look really pretty. The pink colorway also looks really nice and soft, its a really good shade for the style. 

 I've always liked Baby for their really nice cuts and detailing and this dress fits into that. I also like that they have lots and lots of photos so you really can see what it looks like. The coord with the blue dress looks amazing, great showcase of how you can style the dress. Trying to keep my eye on other brands than Angelic Pretty.

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.

Stockholm: International Lolita Day Picnic

Here's some pictures from the international lolita day picnic in stockholm! It was lots of fun and everyone looked so nice! It was fun to take a new group photo since its been a while sine we got one with so many of us. The park we were in is really beautiful.

A little group shot of all the gothic lolitas.

Anna to the left and Jenny to the right. Both looking super cute in their Angelic Pretty dresses!

 To the left is Johan and Teppo, she's wearing the Marie Antoinette OP from Baby the Star Shine Bright. To the right is Nikolai in Moi Meme Moite as usual.

On the left is my outfit, I was wearing Sweet Ribbon Strawberry. It felt like it was a perfect dress for going to a picnic! Since both me and Nikolai both were rocking the rectangle headdresses and looking pretty old school I had to have a picture together.

Video: Baby the Stars Shine Bright Teaparty at Frillsfest

Finally finished the video from the frillfest teaparty, it was a lovely day and I had lots of fun meeting everyone. Here's a picture of me and Misako too, I wore Angelic Pretty to the teaparty because I was required to wear Baby when I was organizing and presenting the fashion show, which already made me feel out of my element. But I don't think people there really cared that much, haha.

Alice and the Pirates: Starry Moonlight Night Sirene

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!

Lolita Lesson #3: Sweet Lolita

Sweet Lolita is one of the three main Lolita styles (the other being Gothic and Classic). It is charecterized by being the sugary cute princess style of Lolita. Pastel colors are the most common, such as pink, sax, mint, lavender and yellow. But the color does not make the style and there is also a lot of dresses released in colorways that are black, brown and red. The theme and styling is a better tell than the colors. Overall a Sweet Lolita's look should be like a princess or/and doll. Prints are very popular in Sweet Lolita and popular themes include but are not limited to: carousel horses, candy, berries, chocolate, cake, toys and stars. The make-up should be cute and false lashes and circle lenses are very popular. Pastel wigs used to be really popular but having your own hair is gaining popularity. 

The biggest Sweet Lolita brands are Angelic Pretty, Baby the Stars Shine Bright and Metamorphose. They all have a distinct style and a lot of girls have a favorite that the stick to. A notable Sweet Lolita model is Misako Aoki who is one of the people organizing the Kawaii Ambassador initiative. 

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!
