Trend: Yellow

In a lot of different fashion show yellow has been coming up both as the main color of some amazing gown and as accent colors, it makes for a really fresh and summery look. Over you see looks from marc by marc jacobs, two looks from Karen Walker and the last two from Moschino. These looks all would work great for everyday looks. 

Here we have some more formal dressed up looks. The first one is a flowy dream from Chloé. The three other ones come from Diane von Furstenberg, her prints are amazing and the cuts look really now. I'm going to put together some coords with yellow as the main color, so be sure to check back!

Trend: Moschino Barbie Look

Spring is coming so I will be posting my favorites from spring/summer fashion shows and some trends that I've been seeing. Starting with my favorite collection: Moschino. They have really went for doing their own thing and the Barbie look they went for is amazing! With stunning colors and all around just really fun and happy! If I could pick any item from this collection it would be the pink knitted sweather dress with the Moschino logo in Barbie style font all over it. I'm in love. 

There is really whimsy and joy all throughout the fashion show! Designer of this collection Jeremy Scott was quoted as saying  "Like every girl and gay boy, I loved Barbie,". The big blonde wigs and bubblegum pink lipstick really adds to the barbie feel. I really hope this catches on so that cheaper chains will pick up the trend of the barbie style.

Amazing collection with lots of colors and creative cuts, there is a lot of variation. My favorite ones are the pink but there was much of other neon colors also! I'm going to try and do some coords with items from this collection but also try and do cheaper options that still has the barbie feel to it. This collection is so inspiring.

Brand Feature: Irregular Choice

"Irregular Choice was created by Dan Sullivan in 1999 as a reason to stand out from the crowd. 

Dan saw that the footwear market was becoming very neutral and black, yet there was a global demand for something different and individual, something to wear with pride."

I first stumbled upon Irregular Choice on my trip to London, I was just there on my own exploring and living in hostels for a week. I found this rather odd and colorful shoe store wandering around and I'm kinda automatically drawn to colors. They had amazing shoes then and they still continue to amaze. I talked to a nice girl that worked there who told me that she also dresses in Lolita so we talked for a while. She told me that Kyary Pamyu Pamyu had been there while she was working and showed me which shoes she had picked. Above you can see some of their red shoes that I really like, of these number 5 and 6 are my favorites!

They have shoes with all kinds of themes, colors and shapes. I picked out some of the nice pastel shoes that I found on their webpage. I think the colorful dinosaur print is genius, it looks great with the mint details. They really put time into all the shoes, there are just so many amazing details.

I really love the clunky big patchwork sneakers, though I don't really know what I would wear them with. I should try and make a coord with them! The colorful bows on the heals look stunning. They also have a wide range of the flat shoes in different colors, they are a bit cheaper but still catch the feel of whimsy. 

And if colorful is not your thing they still have a wide selection of interesting and elegant darker colored shoes. They are still just as detailed as the precious showed shoes. These are some of my favorites!

If you like any of these shoes they are all from Irregular Choice!

Hope you enjoyed this brand feature, let me know if you think I should do more like this!

10 New Angelic Pretty prints coming in spring~

 Angelic Pretty recently had a fashion show where they showed their full spring collection, many pictures are popping up here and there, from leaked photos to Kera magazines. I though I would make a guide just in case you've missed anything!

1. Parfum

New dress with print designed by Imai Kira, this is a special preorder only dress just like cats teaparty was! It looks amazing and I look forward to seeing people wearing it.

2. Milky Cross

This cross themed print with chiffon overlay is looking stunning. It will be coming out this weekend so gogogo contact your shopping service.

3. Dolly Cat

Good news for you cat lovers! AP will be releasing this cute dress with kittens on it, I really love the purple ribbons on the pink colorway. I wonder what color the ribbons will be on other colorways, it will be cool to see.

4. Wrapping Heart

Print with adorable gift boxes, looking forward to this one!

5. Melty Berry Princess

A new gorgeous strawberry print from Angelic Pretty, seems like they are also releasing a new version of the popular strawberry bag (and there will be and other dress to match my old strawberry bag with!). Mostly rooting for the white colorway, but all red could also be super cute.

 6. Cherry Marguerite 

 Another berry print but this one seems to be more cherries, the colorways look interesting but people are kinda confused of how crosses fit into this theme, just getting into a trend or do we maybe not see the full picture? Exited to see the gingham blouses though!

7. Mirage Castle

Recently these pictures came up from a issue of Kera. A dreamy princess sleeve OP with a matching aristocrat set. I hope the will be selling a boy style set with this and not just have it for the fashion show. I wonder what other colorways it will come in, darker or pastel?

8. Dream Marine

Stunning seashell themed dress, no really clear pictures of this but the cuts of it are looking stunning. The OP has a chiffon overlay and there seems to be a jsk with layers, both super cute.

9. Salon de the' Rose

Another princess sleeve OP, this one with a lovely cake print. It has a pretty sweet/classic feel and I think it would look amazing in mint or sax.

10. Belle Epouqe Rose

There are no clear pictures of this dress yet but it seems to have rocking horses maybe? roses? I guess we will have to wait and see!

I hope you liked this guide to new Angelic Pretty dress! I'm really looking forward to all of them and saving all my money! Thanks for reading.

(print names are just guesses since they are the time of writing not published)

Dunkin' Donuts in Täby

Here in Sweden we don't really have Donut shops, but a few months ago they opened up a Dunkin' Donuts in Täby Centrum. Feeling a huge craving for donuts and having nothing to do that day I decided to venture there! Its 1 hour and 22 minutes to get there, which is the reason for me not haven gone there yet. So I put on a candy sweet lolita outfit and was on my way. It was snowing outside, like a lot.

In Täby I finally got to taste my first donut in years, it was a maple glaced donut and it was amazing. I had never even been in Täby Centrum before but it is really huge, me and my friend got lost several times. The prices where not too bad for being sweden, 17/79/149sek for 1/6/12 donuts!

There were so many to pick from that I got 12 to take with me home and I actually ate them all on my own. 

All in all it was a nice day.

Chocolate Tea-Party

I made a video from the Chocolate Lolita Tea Party in Stockholm. Hope you like it!

The tea party was really great, it was so nice to hang out with lolitas that I don't meet so much. The theme of the tea party was chocolate as you can probably see in the pictures. 

Here are some bonus pictures!
