Mademoiselle de Paris

Hello! I just got a new dress today: Angelic Pretty Mademoiselle de Paris JSK in white! And I love it so much that I wanted to share some details pictures of the gorgeous print!

I really love prints that have a retro vibe, such as Fantasic Dolly, French Doll, Dressy Rose and so many more! I sometimes wish my wardrobe was only filled with retro themed dresses! So when Mademoiselle de Paris was released it was love at first sight! I hesitated a bit about the colour, because (and that's pretty rare!) I think I liked all the different colourways. I first wanted the pink one, but in the end I went for the white one as it looked more mature and was the only one to have red hints. The other colourways have pink details, which make them softer while I think the white colourway look more bold and contrasted!

Mademoiselle de Paris JSK in white!

I wasn't so sure about the poodles at first as, as I already mentionned it on this blog, I usually dislike animals prints. But I think they are really discreet and don't stand out more than the other elements. Poodles are definitely not the main point of the print, they're just part of it. So all in all I think the print is really well balanced and also makes me realize that I really prefer all-over prints over border prints.

Isn't this print super gorgeous? ♥

I didn't try the dress on yet, but I can already tell the bodice looks quite short so I hope it won't look ridiculous on me. I love the design of the bodice, it features beautiful lace and buttons and as much as I like wearing cardigans in Lolita, I'll try to wear this dress with a blouse, so I won't hide all those pretty details!

My favourite detail ♥

You can't really tell but the bottom lace features tiny poodles! How cute ♥

I also bought the matching socks!

I already have an outfit in mind for this JSK: a red beret, a black blouse with a bow tie, the matching socks, black rocking horse shoes and maybe some black gloves to complete the perfect retro look! I hope I'll have some time this week to try this on!

Do you like this print? Did you also get it? In which colour and how will you coordinate it?
Let me know! :)

Angelic Pretty Osaka Shop

During my last trip to Japan, I spent some days in Osaka and was super happy to be able to visit the local Angelic Pretty store! I can't really explain why, but when I think of the perfect Lolita shop, I have this one popping in my mind. I visited several Angelic Pretty stores (in Harajuku, Shinjuku, Paris and now, Osaka) and while they're all super cute and girly, Osaka shop definitely has an advantage: its famous pink storefront.

Let me tell you that I was more than excited that day! I planned a pink and white outfit to match the storefront and make the cutest photos.... Even if, shame on me, I didn't even wear any Angelic Pretty, but the day was rainy and we also visited Osaka Castle later that day, so I needed a comfortable and not too delicate outfit.

I'm carefully checking the window! Haha

Sweet Cream Princess series ♥

Sweet Cream Princess series was displayed in the window and while I didn't like the print that much when I saw it online, the pink colourway definitely grew on me! It's not a baby pink shade, but more like a raspberry/dark pink shade which I think is super pretty!

After admiring the shop from the outside for a while, I finally went to browse the inside. No picture there, as pictures are not allowed inside any Angelic Pretty shops. Sometimes I still try to take sneaky pictures with my phone, to keep a memory... but the Osaka shop is quite small and I didn't want to be rude so I didn't even try. I already had tons of pretty pictures from the outside anyway! I was hoping to find the Sweet Cream Princess brooch in ivory or pink as they didn't have it anymore in Tokyo, but it was sold out here too. Well, it was not meant to be then.... Creamy Cherry series was released the day before and apparently was quite popular as the only thing left was the navy OP. I didn't plan to buy anything except the brooch and nothing else caught my eyes, so in the end I just bought the summer catalogue ( I love catalogues!!!) for 800 yens. Cheapest AP shopping ever! Haha!

Posing with my purchase!

So happy to have pictures in front of the store ♥

Well, this entry is about the shop, but I really loved Osaka as a whole too! It was my first time there and I definitely want to go back. I spent a lot of time in Tokyo already and would love to visit some different places in Japan now! Maybe I should plan a trip to visit all the Angelic Pretty shops across Japan? Haha!
