Dream Dress: Angelic Pretty Sugar Hearts

I think every Lolita has a dream dress (or even several dream dresses) and today I wanted to talk about mine: Angelic Pretty Sugar Hearts onepiece in white. Yes, the onepiece only and in white only. 


Sugar Hearts series was released in 2011 and I remember that I fell immediately in love with it the moment I saw it on Angelic Pretty website but, I still don't understand why, I didn't buy it back then. My first choice was the JSK, but after some thinking, I decided that the OP would flatter my body type better. Anyways, one thing never changed: I wanted the white colourway only. 


Time passed by, my style changed, I bought other dresses, I sold some dresses too, but I still had Sugar Hearts stuck in my mind. In April 2014 I went to Tokyo and I desperately hoped to find it at Closet Child, but with no success.
Back home, I started to look for it seriously on Mbok, Yahoo! auctions and other second hand shops. And one day, miraculously, it was there on Lacemarket! I didn't think twice and bought it immediately. I just couldn't believe it, I found my dream dress!

Some days later (yes it was fast! The seller was amazing), I got it in my hands and I was just so happy. It was even more beautiful in real! On the stock pictures, the colours look really light and almost washed out, but in real the hearts on the print are really colorful and bright! I think this is why I love this print so much: it has so many different colours! You can wear it with yellow, pink, mint, blue, lavender, white and even black I think! Haha. But let's see some details in pictures! 

Amazingly colorful Sugar Hearts print ♥
Delicate heart lace ♥

Conversaton hearts buttons and front bow (which is detachable by the way)

Detail of the waist ties. They remind me of the maid outfit somehow?

After looking at all the details, I wanted to try it on of course... but I was a little afraid. What if it doesn't look good at all on me? What if it is too small or too short? What if I don't know how to coordinate it? So actually, I waited some weeks before being brave enough to put it on! Haha. This let me have some time to think of a nice outfit and I finally decided to wear it with pink and touches of mint and yellow for my first coordination. Here is it, my very first Sugar Hearts coordination:

How to introduce myself?

Hi everybody and welcome on my blog! 



It's maybe not a very elegant way to start my blog, but I have to tell you that I really hate to introduce myself! Haha. I never know what to say... so let's keep it simple: my name is Emilie and I am a Lolita fashion lover from Geneva, Switzerland. You also need to know that English is not my first language (my mother tongue is French!), so I apologize in advance for my mistakes.

This blog will mainly be about my love for Lolita fashion. I discovered Lolita some years ago (it was in 2005 if I remember well?), but I really started to wear the style back in September 2009. I can't believe it's already been 5 years since then...  
My favourite style is Sweet Lolita, but I also like Classic and I often try to make my sweet and cute coordinations look more elegant and toned down. I love floral prints and you'll soon see I have a thing for chocolate prints too! Haha. My favourite colours are yellow, pink, brown, dark pink and navy blue, while my favourite brands are Angelic Pretty and Baby,the Stars Shine Bright! I can't really explain why I love Lolita fashion so much, but it takes an important place in my life. It makes me happy and I wanted to share it with you all through this blog.

Of course, I also have other interests. What do I like out of Lolita? Cooking & baking, drawing & painting, travelling, playing video games, taking pictures, collecting manekineko (Japanese lucky cats) and cute things, hamsters, etc... and I will talk about all of this too!

Anyway, I hope you'll like reading my entries and again, welcome on my blog!
