Angelic Pretty: Winter coats

Its getting cold outside and its starting to get well in time to get a warm jacket to have with your lolita clothes. There are many different styles to chose that suit different types of dresses, here are some from Angelic Pretty. My favorite style is coats that are a bit shorter like the ones above. They go with many different styles of dresses and you can still see the dress you are wearing underneath. An other good thing is that they are easier to use with other styles of clothes. The poncho under to the right also works with many kinds of clothes but it can look a bit bulky. If you like dresses with a high waist or a free waist then the coat under to the left would suit that style. I like this one, its simple but really pretty. It could work with more regular clothes though I think it would look a little bit flat.

An other style of lolita jackets is the one underneath that has a waist and covers the whole skirt. This one is extra extravagant and detailed, it looks very fancy and cute. It can look really pretty when you have a really poofy dress under but I don't like that it looks like you are wearing the same thing everyday when you are outside. An other drawback is that it looks really bad with regular clothes or even if you just have a bit less fluff it can look pretty deflated. An other thing is that when you take it off and have to carry it around it will be really bulky and heavy. Though I still think its really cute.

Royal Princess Alice: Twinkle Snow Carnival

Royal Princess Alice has a new print called Twinkle Snow Carnival. I think it looks like a boring winter version of Castle Mirage. The characters on the print look so tacked on since they are in a compleatly different style than the rest of the print and I feel like there is something off with them. I think the whole print would of been better without them altogether if they are not going to match the style of the castle. The name of the brand in the print looks so pasted on there that I looked at different pictures to be sure that it was actually on the print and not just on these pictures. The scale if way too big for the cut since it barely fits onto the dress. The part above the boarder is really really boring, they could of just had it be a night sky with snowflakes falling down and it would of looked much better. I wish they would at least have a more interesting cut, this just leaves no room for coording it creatively. I'm not really impressed.

Lolita Coording Guide [1]

A lot of Lolitas fall into the habit of wearing the set and just sticking to that same cookie cutter outfit. But there is so much more you can do to make your dress feel more versatile. I'm going to show a bunch of ways how to coord this same dress, in this post I will keep it simple with two color coords. When deciding what color to have with your print dress first look at what colors it has in the print. Toy Parade has mint, pink, lavender and yellow in the print. This makes it very easy to coord with those colors as you can see on the picture below. When the bag, socks and blouse have the same color the coord will look balanced. And I think the color that contrasts to the dress looks much more interesting than just wearing a white blouse.

Angelic Pretty: Magical Princess

So the spring collection with more cute pastels keeps coming, this print is called 'Magical Princes'. I think its cute from what I can see, its nice that it comes in yellow and I can't wait to see the other colorways! The cuts are different but still simple, I like the jsk but the OP looks a bit weird. Like those blouses with detachable sleeves when you have the sleeves on. Awaiting more updates about it!

Lolita Feels [1]

How I've been feeling lately when I'm coording, please can OTT sweet come back?

How does one even get a hold of a new AP print, everything sells out in the first hour.

Can I please have Wrapping heart now? I have a spot in my closet with its name on it.

So they go forever not releasing anything you want when you have money, then later when you are broke AF then you want ALL THE THINGS.

Some people never learn...

How many of you have been feeling like this with the new rerelease of Chocolate Rosette? Sometimes I feel lucky the prints I like are not as popular anymore.

Angelic Pretty: 2016 Lucky Packs!

Here is Angelic Pretty's lucky packs! 

Print:

The print is called Whip Factory and I think it is really cute, it will probably look even cuter in real life. The cakes are pretty and look pretty creative, not just like a copypaste of earlier prints. The Black colorway is as always really harsh, though I like that the bottom part is lavender and pink candy striped. I wish the pink colorway would of had more contrasting candy striped but I think that's more a personal preference as I like high contrast dresses. The pink and sax bottom on the sax dress is quite cute. The little miniature animals around the cakes are pretty.

Cuts:

I don't really like the salopette, as I have said before they are often in that in between length. Its too short to be a proper lolita dress and its too long to be a comfy casual look. The pink jsk is my favorite cut, I like the higher waist and it gives enough space for this print since the boarder is pretty covering. Its simple and lovely. The sax jsk I'm not really sure of, its not bad but I don't really like it all that much, I feel like the middle seam is unnecessary and just cuts off the print, the front lacing just looks cheap. Other than that its pretty cute.

Other pieces:

I like that the cutsew for the salopette set has a collar, even if its simple it still makes it more useful. The socks are really cute in the pink color, I love that they put sax detailing on them.The Blouse is the same basic blouse they have every year. As you all might know I don't really like basic coording with white, its really boring. But of course you can coord the dress with whatever you want. I wish they would of maybe made the jacket a little bit more interesting. It also is the same jacket they always have. I find it weird that a purse is no longer included, why not?

They also have the basic set that I think is awesome for a lolita that is starting out, it has a nice old school feel and comes at a really good price!

I still haven't decided if I want one of the sets but it is really cute.

Angelic Pretty: Chocolate Rosette

They are doing a rerelease of Chocolate Rosette, a lot of people seem to be happy about this. It's been quite overpriced second hand so I think this is really good even though its not at all a dress I would want. They have also added a pink colorway, I don't much care for it at all. This will probably sell out right of anyways!

Angelic Pretty: Merry Bunny

I posted about this dress a few weeks ago and thought it looked cute so I'm happy I can see it properly now! I think this is really cute and goes with the season.

Print

This is really a Christmas print, which is nice in December but can feel out of place the rest of the year. It reminds me a lot of toy march and holy night story, I feel like if you have one Christmas print why do you even need an other one? I think its funny that they got the plushes pants in this one, people commented a lot on the lack of pants on toy march.They are cute and all but I think they look dead inside. I think the print over the boarder is really lazy, its pretty boring and I think the scale should of been bigger because the scale of the boarder is pretty big. The colorways are pretty nice though.

The cuts

I think they are okay, they could be better. The op is pretty cute but that type of op doesn't leave much room for creative coording. The marching band style top is cute on the op but I don't like the weird line down the middle on the jsk. also the part on the hip on the jsk is just kinda weird. The top would be better in the style of holy night story. I don't really like the salopette, its in that weird not full length and still not casually short. And the print looks like it barely fits on there.

I think its kinda okay, there are many older Christmas prints that I would rather have. So I give this print a 2/5 cookie hearts

Angelic Pretty: Baked Sweets Parade

Another dress from Angelic Pretty's next collection! This one features cute donuts.~

Print

I like that AP has been moving away from every print being a boarder print because it allows for more interesting cuts. I'm sure this remind many of creamy donut but I think this one has a lot more cute look while creamy donut is more toned down. The scale of the donuts makes the print a lot less messy. I love that some of the donuts have the text 'eat me' on them, gives a bit of Alice in Wonderland feel.

The Cut

Since I only have this one picture right now I can only comment on the jsk, but I would say that I like it. I'm always a fan of big ribbons, but I don't know about the lace trim. Can't wait to see the other cuts and colorways!

Accessories

I must say that I love the hat, silly hats is one of my favorite things and I'm really hoping that they are selling it and not just have it for the fashion show. They seem to have used some of the creamy donut accessories so we will see if the release matching items.

My rating at this point is 3/5 hearts

Angelic Pretty: Top 10 Favorite Prints 2015

There has been a lot of interesting prints coming out this year so I thought I would pick my top 10 favorite Angelic Pretty prints of 2015! I'm not counting rereleases, so misty sky and holy lantern wont be on this list. Hope you like my picks and feel free to tell me what your favorite was!

10: Horror Garden

This print was released around Halloween and it was just perfect for that time of the year. This is my favorite colorway, I love the white with black trims. Black with white trim is so common so the inversion is really nice, reminiscent of the white holy lantern colorway. 

9: Marine Kingdom

A lot of people were exited about Angelic Pretty releasing a mermaid print, its really cute even though its a bit messy. Definitely looks better in real life though! This cut is really pretty too and I like the pearl details.

8: Melty Berry Princess

I have always loved strawberry prints, it might have something to do with having the nickname 'Ichigo' for five years. So this is actually the only print on the list that I actually bought because it was available when I was in Finland for the Lolita convention Hellocon. It looks super sweet and I love it!

7: Luminous Sanctuary

I think this dress has a simple elegance too it. This high contrast colorway is also super pretty. The Pegasus are really cute.

6: British Bear

I think this print looks perfect for the fall and winter season. The plaid reminds me of punk style, extra much with the yellow special set that the released later. Its cute and I can just imagine all the pretty coords with this.

5: Dream Marine

Marine themes have been popular this year and there are so many creative coords that have been made with it. This print is super cute and I understand why it was so popular!

4: Fantastic Carnival

Carnivals are always cute and I love the contrast between the sax and pink. The animals are really cute and its cool that the used other ones than ponies. I feel like one could make amazing ott coords with this dress and I really want it for that reason!

3: Milky Cross

I love that this dress has such a soft feel to it. Most of the time I don't like sheer overlays but it just looks perfect with this print. I also love the big ribbon flowing down.

2: Cherry Marguerite

This print just makes me think of summer, the white and red combo looks amazing. It makes me want to go to a lovely Lolita picnic in the sunshine.

1: Wrapping Heart

I don't think that its a big surprise that this is my favorite. I love coording with three colors and this is perfect to go with my three favorite ones mint, pink and lavender! I even like the high waist on this OP but the jsk's look perfect too. I love all the colorways and cant wait to find it on the secondhand market once I have the money for it!

Angelic Pretty: Charlotte's Bear

Another exclusive Imai Kira collab, it was only up for reserve for teaparty attendes. You can bet this will be hard to find later, as we all know the Imai Kira dresses tend to get really popular. Lets hope it will come up for reservation for the rest of us!

Angelic Pretty: Cecilia Cross

The next release coming up is Cecilia Cross. I feel like this dress is like a mix between Milky Cross and Misty Sky, which are two prints that have been really popular lately. It is really cute but I feel like its kinda done before. I don't like the sheer overlay on the pink version or the long trim sticking out from the blue jsk. That said I still think its really cute! But it is not my favorite from this season. What do you think?

Angelic Pretty: top 5 silly bags!

I really love silly bags, I have a few myself and Angelic Pretty have been releasing some really cute ones this year, so I decided to make a top 5 list of my favorite silly AP bags of 2015!

#5

Starting out my list is this pretty cross bag on fifth place, I really love all the pearl details and the over sized pearls that make out the handle makes it just perfect!

#4

Who doesn't love an Alice in wonderland theme? This bag has nice big 'drink me' tag that makes it super cute. Having a big bottle also makes you look more tiny like a doll.

#3

Angelic Pretty makes the purrfect plush bags and this kitty is no exception! Made to match with Dolly Cat and just super fluffy and adorable.

#2

The Fantastic Carnival bag is this super cute bunny with lots of bows and a fluffy tail. It also comes in white and both colorways are adorable.

#1

My favorite silly Angelic Pretty bag of 2015 is this perfectly cute teddy backpack. It is one of my favorite plush bags they have ever released, the colors are just perfect and it looks so soft. The wings are a super nice detail too. It barely has any room too put anything inside it, but it doesn't have to be practical if its this cute!

Hope you liked my list!

Angelic Pretty: Elisabeth Unicorn

This weekend Angelic Pretty is releasing Elisabeth Unicorn, yet an other pony print that is think has a really classic look. The colorways are interesting and the different colorways look really good. I think this is a gorgeous print and I wish anyone that's going to try and get it good luck! If my economy was a bit better I would go into the fight too. I think this will be gone in seconds.

Here is some advice on how to buy from Angelic Pretty:
