Angelic Pretty: Little Witch

I really like Angelic Pretty's Little Witch print series. It's super cute and I really like the illustration style. I kinda really want this one.

I really love the pink colorway with the lavender ribbons, it's just such a perfect colour combo. I really like the scalloped neckline on the jsk, I always love scallop. More scallops please. It would of been really cute with scallops at the bottom of the dress and then maybe lace matching the contrasting ribbons. The neckline of the jsk is the same as the OP's neckline but without the faux blouse. I do not at all like the long tulle bottom of the cutsew dress, it just makes it look really cheap.

The style of the illustrations feels very graphic and clean. I think the yellow and mint in the print allows for really fun outfits! Though the specific shade of mint can be a bit tricky. The black version could easily be coordinated with pink, lavender, mint or yellow. 

I wish they would of made the cat jewelry came in pastel colours also. Why are they all black? It's not like there is any black in the print even. I also would of prefered silver instead of gold and a plastic finding for the ring.

I don't like the red colorway at all. I feel like they really should of changed the colors of the print itself to make it go better with the red. The print colors are pastel but then they put the black ribbons on it and it's like why though? I do not understand why they made the jsk come as a set with a armband, with the other colors it's already pretty meh. But with the red armband it becomes just very unfortunate. Bright red armband worn on the upper arm, really AP? This aint it chief. If you bought this dress or want it I have a super easy fix for you friend, just don't wear it with the armband. I'm not implying anything about whoever designed it, I mostly find it unfortunate.

Angelic Pretty: Girly Sticker

 Angelic Pretty's print series Girly Sticker is pretty different in style from their usual style, it seems like it wasn't very popular since its on sale right now. 

The print is a non-directional all over pattern with designs that are designed to look like glittery stickers.  I think the stickers in the print would be nice as actual stickers but I'm not sure about this one chief... The style of the illustrations makes me think of claires or similar brands that are targeted towards kids. I do not like the bottom lace that they used on ALL the cuts. I think a shorter lace with a proper edge would of looked a lot better. 

All colorways have a pretty dark navy color in the print which could make for really cool coordinates if you match the dress with maybe a navy blouse or navy accessories in the same shade. If you can match the colors in the print I think you could make some really cool outfits but it's kinda tricky because these are not super common shades.

The OP makes the print feel really messy since it covers so much of the outfit, which would make a jsk better, but the jsk looks kinda cheap. The model is really simple and the bottom lace looks sooo bad. I know I mentioned it already but really... on the salopette its at least doubled up in two layers which is a bit of an improvement. I like the pastel colorways, they would be cute as a casual skirt with different bottom lace.

The black colorway manages to not look too pale like many of their prints do on black but instead it looks really messy. I don't really know what they were thinking with this coordinate with the black op, black and white stripe socks and pale pink shoes. There isn't even really a pale pink shade in the print. I think it would of looked a lot better with pastel colored socks and either deep pink or black shoes. I think maybe the jsk could look better since you wouldn't have the print on the arms also.

The best things related to this series is the milky bear ring and necklace, though I wish the ring has a plastic ring finding instead of the metal one. Oh well, the best piece is the necklace. Look forward to seeing some creative outfits with this one at least.

Angelic Pretty: Moco Moco Bunnys

Today's post is about Angelic Pretty's new print series Moco Moco Bunnys, that will be released on saturday this weekend. The print is really cute but it has the same issue with the textile that I talked about in my previous post about Toys Museum. The slight transparency of the fabric makes the print more dull than it would be on an opaque textile. The print again has a plain background and is in quite large scale. The pattern is a non directional allover pattern, I feel like its almost too large in scale, it would look nicer if it was a bit smaller but that might be an side effect of the print being less clear on this textile.

None of the cuts are anything special though they offer more options for this one. This kind of jsk style is pretty easy to coordinate and I like that the bow by the neckline is in a contrasting color. The folded ribbon style on the jsk and salopette look a lot better than the basic tied silk ribbons on the other cuts. They also have the dot trim at the bottom which at least is a bit different. 

The Mint colorway will only be available at the stores in Nagoya and Shibuya sadly. The Mint salopette reminds me of my mint dreamy dollhouse salopette which I would choice over this any day. 

Angelic Pretty has a lot of different styles of illustrating bunnies and most of the styles featured in this print design are my least favorite kind. The best one here in my opinion is the cute marshmallow bunny that they used as an applique. I actually do like these sweaters but I think the neckline is a bit high for taste (for comfort reasons) and it's not cute enough for that price. I love small pets and I also love to draw them, I have a pet peeve with bunnies being drawn with two eyes since from almost all angles you only see one eye at a time so it looks kinda off. I get that the illustrations are depicting plush bunnies but I still think these are way less cute than many others Angelic Pretty has designed before. (Should I make a top list of best AP bunnies maybe?)

Hope you enjoyed this post, check back again soon! 

Angelic Pretty: Romantic Cat

Recently Angelic Pretty released this adorable cat themed print, which I think might be one of their best cat themed dresses to date! I feels like a combination of Dolly Cat and Romantic Rose Letter. Its a very sweet print and its feels like the cats are in the same style as the bunnies on the recent Ribbon Berry Bunny. The cuts are simple but have really nice detailing. The lace layered over the fabric on the bodice gives a bit of a classy touch to it. 

I think the colorways are really cute. I didn't see it at first but its both a nice bright lavender and a color that is more grey than lavender. I don't think there has been much of this grey shade on Angelic Pretty prints before but we might be seeing more of it coming up since the new rerelease of popular Misty Sky includes grey as a new colorway. Just like they added a lot of the darker turquoise in the last season maybe grey is this seasons new color.
