When life gives me lemons...

... I make a lemon themed Lolita outfit!
Today, I wanted to share a lemon appreciation entry! I really like lemon, as a fruit but also as a pattern and luckily for me, lemon is quite popular this year in Lolita fashion but also mainstream fashion.
Some months ago, I finally found the perfect lemon-themed skirt: Lemon Juice skirt by Owloli! The skirt was made to measure, which was great so I could order it a bit longer. I love tea length skirts, so that was the perfect occasion to get one! Sweet Lolita (or at least Angelic Pretty) seems to take a new way with longer skirts too recently. Unfortunately I am a total noob and ordered the skirt was too big, but my mom was so nice to remove some of the elastic at the waist so it could fit!
I already had an outfit in mind, I first decided to wear it with yellow and white in a somehow casual/country inspired coordination. Yellow is my favourite colour, so I really enjoyed wearing it! 



Today, I wanted to bake lemon squares and it made me want to wear that skirt again! Even if the print actually doesn't feature these colours, I really wanted to try to wear it with red or black. I am very inspired by Otome fashion recently, with its surprising colour scheme and toned-down girly looks. I have been into the fashion for more than 10 years now and I want to experiment more so I won't get bored. Maybe wearing a light blue skirt with a bright red cutsew was a bold move but I think it works quite well!



And to end this entry on a sweet note, have some pictures of my lemon squares! And also, let me know what is your favourite fruit! Did you like the lemon trend this year? I wish there would be more lemon-themed prints in Lolita fashion!

Sweet Jam Triplets!

Hello! Is anybody still there? I can't believe my last entry was from July 2018! I have been so lazy, I completely neglected this poor blog... I was quite active though, I went to several events (Spellbound in the Netherlands, the Angelic Pretty Christmas tea party in Paris, etc.) but I guess I wasn't motivated enough to write about it!

Anyway, Spring is back and with the sunny days and warm temperatures, my motivation is back too! Maybe I will write about the past events I mentionned, but right now I would like to share a photoshoot I did with two of my best friends. We realized we all had Angelic Pretty Sweet Jam print, my friend Marie-Lou in red, my friend Arisa in pink and me in yellow! We took advantage of the Easter holidays to go for a "triplets" photoshoot in a nearby park.

We had a lot of fun and I really like how the pictures turned out! We didn't especially plan anything more than "wearing the same dress", but I suggested we all wore a beret :)
But enough talk and more pictures! Here are some of my favourite:


I really like the atmosphere of the whole shoot: the bright colours, the setting, the cute little daisies! We used my tripod to take all the group pictures, I was a bit afraid the pictures would look static/unatural, but in the end they're exactly how I imagined them! 

This one is my absolute favourite I think ♥



Which picture is your favourite? Have you done a twins or triplets photoshoot with friends?
