Brand Feature: Cat's Broom

What is Cat's Broom?

Cat's Broom is a quirky Taobao brand that has some really fun and playful sweet Lolita prints. Above you see their 'Pig Chef' Print series that features little pigs in chef uniforms, bread, sausage, tomatoes, ice cream cones and other food items! 

 They have a lot of fun and pretty unique prints, I think a lot of them have a bit of a vintage feel that is enhanced by the way they style looks. Their Pizza Print is such a nice idea for a theme, it would be fun to see accessories to match that.

My favorite of their original print series is their 'Sale 50% off' print! This is just such a funny and clever idea for a print and just an adorable print too. I've just loved it since the first time I saw it. You won't need a 50% Sale to afford their dresses though, since they only cost about $50! 

You might be thinking "yeah ok Mint that's interesting, but do they have Angelic Pretty style super sweet prints in a cut that doesn't make me look like a sack?" And the answer to that is yes, indeed they do have those too. If you are a fan of the typical Angelic Pretty style 'The Secret Garden' or 'Bathroom Toy' might be the cheaper indie brand option for you! 

Gnomes. They have a print with Gnomes, with miniature cows and nutcrackers. I have no idea what's going on there but its great. You should definitely have a look at their shop and see what more fun styles they have to offer.

I hope you enjoyed this look at a brand you might not of heard of before. I want to make lots more posts about all kinda of Lolita or other fashion brands and sort them into an index to make it easy for you to find new fun brands!

 Thanks for reading!

Long Ears & Sharp Ears: Hiding in the Gift Box

 I've been looking a lot at different taobao brands and there is so many amazing lolita brands on taobao. This adorable dress comes from Long Ears & Sharp Ears and is called 'Hiding in the Gift Box'. This is such a cute original print series and looks really sweet. So who is hiding in the Gift Box? Little cute kittens and snugly bun buns. Its a quite detailed print and has an adorable art style.

It comes in two different cuts, a jsk and a shorter salopette. The jsk is really cute and looks like it has a really nice shape. I love the fancy gift ribbon on the bodice and that it goes across vertically too on the side like cute gift wrapping. To separate the boarder print and the rest of the print it looks like draped scallops as a curtain which makes the dress look less plain. 

They have some great coordinate photos showing that dress would be great for a ott sweet lolita coord. This outfit is just really adorable. I notices a lot of taobao shops have amazing photoshoots, cant wait to share more of them with you all!

I also just had to show you some of these adorable pictures with this little girl! I'm not sure if this kids size dress is available right now but they had some other lolita dresses in kids size. This is just so cute!

For another cute dress from a taobao brand, check out Pumpkin Cat's dress series Lemon Cat!

I put together all these graphics myself, hope you like them and thanks for reading!
