Coord: Cherry Soda

Put together another cute outfit! For this one I was a bit inspired by 50's diners. I started with the super cute jacket from Ayummy, a brand Japanese brand that has a vintage american aesthetic. I liked this coca-cola t-shirt with it and regular t-shirts can be made so much cuter with a high waist skirt. Diners make me think of neon signs so I thought the sunglasses from WC and clear bag from Flapper really give a neon look. Since I already had some red hearts I decided these red heels from Liz Lisa would be a great fit! These frilly black ankle socks from Angelic Pretty help balance the colors and I think dark hair with the red cap would complete this look.

Bubblegum pink and yellow is such a cute color combo and I think the simple tartan dress from Aymmy and quirky Betsey Johnson canned soup bag really give it a cute retro look.

Angelic Pretty: Dolly Dot

Cute and simple new print from Angelic Pretty called Dolly Dot. A more simple print like this is a nice change up but the execution could of been better. The OP is really cute but I know a lot of people wont fit into that type of cut. I wish the jsk had the same lace as the OP. The thin black tule looks kinda cheap. Kinda iffy about the pockets, I feel like they should of been accented more, like some more kind of trimming or ribbon. The skirt is pretty basic but looks like it would be nice for more casual looks. My favorite colorway for this is the lavender.

Fashion Valentine: Marie Tuonetar

This week my fashion valentine is the lovely and elegant Marie Tuonetar. I love the overall aesthetic of her outfits and her photos look amazing. She styles her long hair so perfectly with all her outfits. I admire people that seem to have figured out what their aesthetic is and manage to keep to it, I try to do this too but my style is all over the place. Be sure to go check out her blog and tumblr!

I love that she does black and white lolita coords. I feel like this style of black and white lolita really brings the oldschool color scheme to the modern lolita style. It looks fancy and the white stockings with black shoes combo makes it perfectly balanced. 

Marie wears a lot of black but is really good at keeping it interesting with matching different fabrics and textures. I love the collar and gloves on the left outfit, it gives it the perfect extra touch. And on the right one the pattern in the fabric looks stunning and the long veil looks really nice over her long hair.

I love this style of outfits where she looks like a fancy lady from the early 1900s, It looks so perfectly put together and I love that she does full shiro and kuro lolita. The hats look fantastic also.

Marie also does outfits that are more on the sweet style but I think she still keeps to the same type of aesthetic in these outfits! I't has a lovely type of retro feel to it. Also it looks super cute! I find your outfits really inspiring and hope to keep seeing more new ones!

Fashion Valentine: Emilia

This week my fashion valentine is my dear friend Emilia, also known as Pastelbat! She has an amazing fashion sense and can make any style look amazing. She has always been a trendsetter and is really creative. She also makes accessories that she sells online and at events. Be sure to go follow her on tumblr and instagram for more outfits!

I really love the retro type style that Emilia has been dressing in lately. She looks absolutely stunning in all her outfits. On the left I love the black gingham with pastel pink, it just looks classy and expensive. The look to the right is simple but still looks super fashionable somehow!

Emilia also does very cute more pop style outfits too. Both these look so comfortable and super adorable. The overalls with all the pink on is really cute. 

Emilia used to dress more in lolita before but still had some lolita pieces that she uses now and then. I think that she really brings style elements from the other styles she dress in into lolita which results in some really creative outfits! 

Emilia keeps surprising me with new creative outfits and I just cant wait to see what she comes up with next! These two outfits look really fancy and doll like, love it! She is also a really good friend, I have known her for over five years and she has always been a very kind person.
