Angelic Pretty: Lovely Poodle

 

I'm not sure I'm a big fan of Angelic Pretty's Lovely Poodle, the motifs are a bit sub par and the colorways do not spark joy.

The colorways are a bit odd and I way too dull for my taste. Though if coordinated perfectly off color combos can make for really amazing outfits.

I usually write more on my posts. I made the graphic a while back and wanted to post them at least.

Angelic Pretty: Cookie Scallop

Really cute non print dress from Angelic Pretty. I always love scallops on dresses and these colors make it look like ice cream! Having two shades of Pink on the same dress is always really cute too. This dress is pretty simple, I feel like it could of had just something more on the skirt part.

The brown and beige colorways look like chocolate and vanilla ice cream, I'm personally not a big fan of these kind of colors but I'm sure there´s lots of other people that like them.

Been working a lot on getting my Etsy shop together so that I can launch it again soon! Also been a bit more active on my instagram lately, so be sure to check out that. I want to post more on the blog, I will do my best!

Angelic Pretty: Ghost Night Bride

In anticipation for Halloween coming up Angelic Pretty have released Ghost Night Bride. Its got a slightly Gothic aesthetic, but the cut, details and print motifs it still keeps Angelic Pretty's regular sweet style. Though I think with the right styling and coordinate those who want to could probably make this look quite Gothic.
I decided to make my own layouts to show off the new release instead of just reposting the pictures everyone has already seen, I hope you like them! Please drop a comment to let me know if you do.~

I've seen people compare this to Vampire Requiem from Alice and the Pirates, but I don't agree on them being very similar. I think the thing that most makes people relate them is that the color palette of this print (the red details on these kinds of colorways) is more prevalent in Alice and the Pirates collections. It has some elements in common like gates, castles and roses. But if you look closer at the Angelic Pretty print the theme is more 'wedding of people super into Halloween'. It has lots of cute things like cakes, stars and a romantic set table. Vampire Requiem also has clouds over the boarder followed by nothing, its plain one color above that. This is not my kind of color palette, but it looks good and the colors are nicely balanced.

The OP has a the fake blouse style that AP tend to do a lot. Personally I'm not a fan of this type of premade coordinate. Don't get me wrong; this dress is definitely pretty and looks elegant. But I think it limits your options to be creative with making your own outfits and makes it harder to not have every outfit look the same. With difference with having a regular OP and the fake blouse style like this is that they are already picking black as the main accent color in addition to the colorway of the dress. So you would have to do a three color coord (with two colors decided for you). I wish this dress was a bit more special and different from the jsk. They have the same waistline and the biggest difference other than the fake blouse is there being organza bows instead of lacing and no shirring.

So for the reasons stated above I would prefer the jsk, since it gives you a lot more options for outfits. The cut is similar to OP and really basic high waist Angelic Pretty cut with cupcake skirt. I Think this dress would be super pretty to coord with grey, luckily Angelic Pretty have been doing more items in grey colorways! The print features three shades of grey so there are plenty of options. The latest release of the milky cross blouse has a really pretty silver grey version that I think would look really pretty with any colorway of this dress. I made a little palette below to help you pick out the colors of the print that would be great to make outfits with. 

I hope you like this post and all the graphics I made for it. It took a lot of time but I had fun and I'm happy with how it all turned out! I miss blogging but its been hard to do due to health issues that I've been dealing with. 

Thanks for reading and please check back soon.

Angelic Pretty: ♔British Crown♔

This week Angelic Pretty will be releasing British Crown, which answers the question of what Innocent World would look like if they were a sweet brand. It really does look like a sweet version of Innocent Worlds Grazia Crown. That said it is not a bad print. The proportions of the print looks good, though I feel like something is missing for the bottom part. It just looks like the print kinda ends and goes into the same colored lace. Some details in the print or colored trim could of fixed this. The top post of the jsk is okay, I don't like the little button details. The OP has a nice cut and I like the long ribbon.

All in all this print is not for me and I look forward to the more sweet releases. Click here to see Angelic Pretty's spring collection. There's lots of good stuff coming up, be prepared and save your money.

Angelic Pretty: Shadow Dream Carnival and Chess Emblem

I think this special set is so lovely! Both the cut and color looks lovely with this print. Also the full back shirring makes the dress really comfy. I look forward to seeing people wear this dress. As you all know I'm a big fan of mint colorways.

I'm not as big a fan of this print, but I know that a lot of other people liked it. This colorway is the nicer one I think. Its pretty but just not my style.

I love these retro looking polkadot dresses, people make such amazing coords with this style. I love when people coord lolita to look 50s retro. Hope to see it in closet of frills!

Here are some other small things that Angelic Pretty is releasing.

Angelic Pretty release: Milky Berry Princess

This dress will be coming out this upcoming weekend! At the rate Angelic Pretty's sweet prints have been selling this year so far, its safe to say stay up late and hurry up if you a piece of it. We'll see if people got enough of berries from last print or maybe more people will be jumping on it because they missed out on Cherry Marguerite.

Angelic Pretty fashion show: Cherry Marguerite

More clearer picture from Angelic Pretty's fashion show were posted since all prints have been pretty much revealed! I think the two girls wearing Cherry Marguerite look super cute! This really does make the dress look a lot better! Though I think the little collar to the OP just looks weird, doesn't need it at all! The print looks super cute, looking forward to gingham blouses and berry accessories!
