Mahouprince wore this colorful and bright outfit that just looks super cool! The bright neon green that looks really nice together with the darker shade of green their hair is. Different shades of the same color can make outfits look really magical. The florescent yellow of the coat on the second picture goes really nicely with the shades of green. They always dress really colorful and is one of my fave decora kids!

Nina wore this cute jsk from Baby the Stars Shine Bright with Disney's Snow White, which feels perfectly suited for Disneylands Lolitaday! Since the dress has red details in the print and red lacing matching it with red shoes and red headbow. The hairstyle also works really nice since it looks like Snow White's hair. Just a really pretty outfit!

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.

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.

Fashion Valentine: Agnes

My fashion valentine today for actual valentine is my dear friend Agnes! (Also known by her online name bowsbeforeboyss.) She is so inspiring and really makes me want to do better too. Aside from being gorgeous and having an amazing fashion sense she is also an amazing friend. Her coords are always creative and she is the queen of ott sweet and she just keeps getting better at it! Agnes is super creative and a total babe, that's why she is my fashion valentine this Sunday! Go follow her on instagram, tumblr and youtube!

This coord is just super pretty, the fluffy puffs really ties it all together, there are so many cute details! Her hair is perfectly decorated, it always feels balanced even when there is a lot.

She is so good at making the same dress look like a new one just by coording it with new colors. I love how she has brought out the colors in this dress. adding the colorful bows looks really cute.

I get jealous of how perfectly even her accessories look, everything is just in the right spot. This look with magical etoile is really pretty, she makes the pastels work with the darker dress really well.

Agnes also does more simple coords beautifully. This outfit has such a nice retro feel to it. I feel like she can bring her own style to any type of outfit.

We went to hellocon together last year and I had so much fun! I hope we can go traveling together someday again.

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!
