The details of a brown unicorn - Angelic Pretty's Royal Unicorn

Hello readers!

It's the time of papers. I don't like that, but it's part of studying. I think I'm not a good student, because much of the university life gets on my nerves. It's not that I hate to learn. No, I really love to learn. I just hate to study. But I'm close to my master's degree, then it's over.

Sorry for all the talk about the university, now I come to the topic of this blog entry.

Actually, I don't buy so much Lolita related clothes nowadays. I have become very picky over the years and I don't like a lot of designs simply because there are some small details I don't like.

 But especially Angelic Pretty's Royal Unicorn series was love at first sight.

I think the fabric is the most beautiful, which Angelic Pretty ever used. It's just gorgeous. It's thick and the pattern is woven into the fabric. The hardest thing for me was to choose which style and which colourway I should get. Because I like the military style, I chose the JSK. And because brown goes well with the other things that I already own (like the brown Twinkle Carnival OTKs), I bought the brown JSK. But except for the pink version, I would like to have more items of this series in the future.

Really, no words can describe the beauty of the fabric and no photo can show it properly.

Nevertheless, I show you some photos here:

Everything still packed and with price tags. I also bought a few accessories to go with other dresses. That's why there are a pair of navy OTKs and a navy headbow.

Musee du Chocolat thights, Royal unicorn thights and headbow.

I thought the Musee du Chocolat thights would look nice with the JSK. And they do. But it is maybe a little too tone on tone. And both may go well with Chess Chocolate or the Toy March LP, but I've to try that.

I love the design of the tights. Especially on the top. Unfortunately you can't see it worn. They are made of a thick (hopefully durable) material.

And that is basically a picture of the whole set. Haha, oh no. I'm really sorry for the light.
It was nearly dark when I took the pictures. Nevertheless I hope you get an impression of the beauty.

The dress has a velvet bodice and also velvet waist ties, some beatiful golden details, tassels and a pretty brooch.

Loyalty OTKs and a headbow where I forgot the name. I bought this for my navy Toy March OP. And I think it also matches with Holy Night Story. Blue ist the best colour. I just love blue. And blue with red. Haha.
I bought the Brithish College OTKs with the same background thoughts a while back. You  can see them on the next picture.

Romantic Rose Letter OTK in pink, mint and sax and the sax headbow.  Romantic Rose Letter is a very pretty series. I really love it. I bought the socks and headbow for Tiara Rose and Memorial Cake. I've a lot blue dresses, so it may matches with other clothes too. Maybe the mint OTK look good with  Meta's Honey Picnic. But I'm not sure. And et plus: I hope to find the dress later and so I've some accessories already.

I really like the design of the socks. And the bow looks so pretty with the pearls and the rose. Thanks to the headbow I now know that Romantic Rose Letter is made ​​of a thin soft fabric. A lot softer and thinner than older flower prints.

This is an entry with many photos of clothes. I'm a little infatuated with pretty fabrics and designs. Haha, I hope you like it too. And by the way, I didn't bought everything at once. It's just what gathered over the last few months. I'm really looking forward to wear Royal Unicorn and the other stuff for the first time.

 Thanks for reading!

Wishlist 2014

Hello readers!
 ♥♥♥♥♥

And as the last years I post something about my Lolita wishlist and also a small resume of 2013 at the beginning of the year.

♥♥♥♥♥

Actually, I could write almost the same as last year. Haha. If you want to see it positively, those few changes just show that I know what I want. I always think about my dream dresses, so it's easier to clarify the priorities.

Here now I show you the dresses (yes, dresses only) which are on top of my wishlist. These lists are very personally and they are absolutely a matter of taste. But it's very helpful to have a list.

That helps to keep the money together. Whenever something nice appears for sale or auction, I look in my list and so I'll not be inveigled to impulsive purchases.
That's why I think, everyone should have a wishlist.

♥♥♥♥♥
Regarding my wishlist 2013 passed exactly like 2012.

Because again I only got one of the dresses and again it was the number two of the list. And again, actually number one, because number one is almost unattainable. And again I'm so happy with this one dress.

 It's APs Toy March in navy. 

 ♥♥♥♥♥
All dresses on top of my wishlist are from the brand Angelic Pretty and some are very rare and hard to get.

I also like other dresses from other brands. But these have lower positions on my wishlist.

And I just love the design of AP.  ^_^

 ♥♥♥♥♥

Without any exception, all the dresses of the list were love at first sight.

I already own some of the dresses in other colours. Sugary Carnival for example, which I have in blue (the first release of 2008) and pink (second release, 2011) or Chess Chocolate which I've in mint.

And the only reason, APs Royal Unicorn doesn't appear on a top position in the list is that I bought it.

Fortunately, there were many releases this year, I didn't like. But also some very nice.

 I'm very obsessed with details and somehow I always need a perfect (for my taste) overall appearance. I get very fastidious over the years.

 For some designs, there are even small things that ruin the whole piece for me.

 ♥♥♥♥♥

1. Angelic Pretty Puppet Circus
  ♥♥♥♥♥

 This dress is and will always be my number 1!
 Even as the dress came out in 2006 it was clear that I have to get it one day. It's simply perfect.

It's made ​​of velvet and has a gold print. Absolutely perfect! My favorite is the red wine version as JSK.

 It appeared this year in auctions where I missed it twice. I know that sounds very materialistic, but it broke my heart both times. But I'm still full of hope, even after so many years. Someday it will be mine!

2. Angelic Pretty Chocolate Rosette 
 ♥♥♥♥♥

This was love at first sight. It's so different and beautiful. But it's always the same: it was sold out too fast.

 I only got the black socks and the blue and the brown headbow. The second release also brought me no luck. I still hope I'll find the navy JSK. The navy Toy March OP was my old number two, but I found it last year (actually in the end of 2012). Since it seems like I'm always getting the number two of my wishlist, I'll maybe get this dress this year. Haha. It would be great!

3. Angelic Pretty Star Night Theater
 ♥♥♥♥♥

This dress is on my wishlist for so long. Okay, not like Puppet Circus, but...I missed it more often very narrowly. That's frustrating. It was released in the same year as Memorial Cake (2009), which was one of my dreams for long. I've found it then, so I'm assuming I also find the blue or red Star Night Theater someday.

4. Angelic Pretty Chess Chocolate
 ♥♥♥♥♥

It's almost the same story as with Twinkle Carnival or Chocolate Rosette. It wasn't possible for me to buy my dream dress. It was sold out too quick. But then it was re-released by Angelic Pretty (unusually fast) but I had no money at this time. Later, I bought it in mint and it's beautiful, but the brown JSK version is still my favorite.

5. Angelic Pretty Twinkle Carnival / Sugary Carnival
 ♥♥♥♥♥

 I know, these are two dresses. But I just couldn't make a decision and would be equally happy with one of them. The special colour of Sugary Carnival was already on my list and now the Twinkle Carnival special set is here too.
Unfortunately, the prices for this Sugary Carnival version are so incredibly high that it probably never will be mine. It's a little annoying because I had the chance to buy the Twinkle Carnival set. I don't know why, but I was so stupid not to do it. I think in the future it will be as rare and expensive as Sugary Carnival in this pretty blue colour. And in contrast to Puppet Circus, the price is a deterrent. Since the first release Sugary Carnival is one of my absolute favorites and Twinkle Carnival is also very pretty. ^_^

Normally I only show the first five places here. But because I just love looking at pretty dresses and I looked for pictures and there were so many...haha, here are some more dresses I really love.
Two of these are the sixth place and very important for me: Dessert Collection and Rose Toilette. I really love these dresses and they actually deserve a higher position.
Haha, this is not sorted by places in the list but by color and brand. ^u^

Do you have a wishlist?
And do you also have dresses on the list, which are nearly unreachable and for which you're looking for a long time?
I wish you good luck and that you find your dream dress! ^_^

♥♥♥♥♥

Have A Little look in my wardrobe ^_°

Hello readers! (^__^)/

Sorry for the lack of blog entries lately. I hope I'll be blogging more soon.

I prepared this entry a while ago. Here you see all (almost all) dresses I have, sorted according to the colour. As you can see, there are also two skirts. I only have two because I prefer dresses. ^_^
Actually, I wanted to do a proper wardrobe entry with all my Lolita clothes. But this would be a very image-heavy entry and I don't know...till now I never had the time to take pictures of my blouses and accessories. ^_^;
Unfortunately, it was very dark outside when I tried to take the pictures. That's why some may look a bit strange.
I think two things are obvious: I love Angelic Pretty and most dresses are sweet. :D

Day Dream Carnival, Twinkle Carnival and Wonder Party. (All by Angelic Pretty) All 3 dresses have golden details or a gold print. I love gold prints! And carousel horses. :D All 3 are dream dresses. Especially Twinkle Carnival has a special place in my wardrobe. It's my queen. And Wonder Party has something special I never get enough: a little fork and a little cute spoon on the collar. <3

APs Holy Night Story and Toy March. Both are made of a nice thick fabric and they also have some golden details. I really like the winter- and Christmas prints by AP.  Holy Night Story is my big love. With this dress I realized how much I love red outfits. If Twinkle Carnival is my queen, this dress is the princess of my wardrobe. There is so much to love: the military design, the velvet and the print...

APs Chess Chocolate and the Honey Picnic OP by Metamorphose tems de fille. The mint colour of Chess Chocolate is way more bluish. I really love this print and I would like to have it in brown too. Honey Picnic is a sweeter print with more colours. But I really like the combination of mint and brown colours.

Tiara Rose and Milky Planet by AP and The World's Most Adorable Dog and the World's Most Delicious Frappe Print OP (or Longest Name OP XD) by Baby the Stars shine bright. Tiara Rose is simply beautiful, although I prefer dresses with frontbows on the waist and not on the chest. Milky Planet in blue was a big dream and I simly love it. The colour, the print, the glitter and just everything. The Longest Name OP was one of my first brand dresses. I still like it for some reason.

Memorial Cake, Sugary Carnival and Jewelry Jelly by AP. On a quick glance, these dresses look very similar. Haha, all blue with a mainly pink border print. Blue is my favorite colour, that's why I've so many blue dresses. Memoral Cake and Sugary Carnival are both dream dresses. I was so happy to get them. Both prints are very pretty with cute details. Sugary Carnival in blue is one of my all time favorites. Jewelry Jelly is cute too and I like it, but not as much like the other two dresses.

APs Lacy Ballerina and Happy Ice Cream JSK. These two don't have a print, but they are made ​​of beautiful fabric. Lacy Ballerina is a little to pink for me. I don't feel so comfortable in pink, as in other colours. But especially the lace of the see-through overskirt and lace of the chest part is beautiful. Happy Ice Cream is the perfect summer dress. It's made of super lightweight and airy chiffon. A petticoat is completely unnecessary, because the skirt part alone has a lot of volume.

Sugary Carnival, Lyrical Party (or Lyrical Bunny JSK or Lucky Pack 2011 JSK) and Milky Planet by AP. All 3 are very cute and they all have very pretty prints and I like them. But as I wrote, I don't feel that comfortable in pink. I love my blue Sugary Carnival and my blue Milky Planet much more than the pink versions of these dresses. But maybe that's just a phase. I'm not sure. >///<

Twinkle Carnival by Angelic Pretty and Playing Children from Bodyline. Haha, why the hell put I these two together for a photo? Because the pictures of these entry are sorted by colour and these are the two brightest dresses. Twinkle Carnival is one of the most prettiest prints which exist currently. Everything about this dress gives a precious feeling. This very nice, shimmering fabric, the pretty gold print and the slightly golden fabric of lace, collar and bow. And then there is the BL JSK. :D But I must admit, I like it. It's one of the older designs and it doesn't look cheap or something.

BTSSBs Alice in Fun Fair Print Skirt, Silk Cherubin by Lady Sloth, and APs Rose Princess skirt. I like Alice and the illustrations, and I think it's a cute skirt, but I don't wear it that often. Actually I wore it only once. Silk Cherubin is beautiful and I think it's the only dress of my wardrobe which I can wear in everyday life. Rose Pricess is maybe the only Lolita skirt I truly love. Usually I prefer dresses, but this old piece by Angelic Pretty is simple to perfect.  It's partly made of Jacquard fabric and it has torchon lace and nice satin ribbons. All in all it's better processed and from better material than many of the newer dresses and other Lolita clothes.

 And this is a little bonus picture:

 I threw together these things pretty hectic for this photo. It's a fairy kei inspired outfit for a little photo project that I plan. It will be a collaboration. ^_^

I don't know if this is interessting, but I think I list the clothes and accessoires from the pictures :D : Hoodie: ebay// Cardigan, big pink headbow, smaller blue headbow, bow with ice cream waffle and socks: Angelic Pretty// Skirt: ebay// Shoes: SWIMMER// Bag: second hand (AP replica)// Accessoires: chocomint and Cute Can Kill

See you soon with the promised art entry and a few vacation pictures.

Thank you for reading! \(^_^)/

Funfairfight and hype - APs Day Dream Carnival Series

Hello readers! (^_^)/

The new semester recently started and I just came back from a study trip. We were in the Netherlands and I will definitely post about it later (as always, I took many photos).

When I came back, my Day Dream Carnival was in the mail! I was very excited, especially after I had already seen a couple of pictures and close-ups on other blogs.

Sure, this print is highly hyped. But now that I see it in person, it's a understandable hype.

As always it's a matter of taste. Some like it and others not. A lot of people seem to like this print.

 The release was crazy. This series was sold out unbelievably fast.

And you could immediately find it in auctions at super high prices. At this point I was glad to have it safely.
For sure, for me personally, this series is perfect. It has a lot of what I love:

a carousel print, ponies, many details and there's even gold in the print.

After the chaotic first release, Angelic Pretty released a brief statement and now there's a second release with reservation. So now really everyone has a chance.
Here is a picture with an overview of the available colours and items of Angelic Pretty:

Somehow the JSK with tulle overskirt is especially popular.

I like the dresses always best when I love the details, but for me the whole picture has to be good.

 And I like it when the frontbow sits on the waist and not on the bust area of the dress.

I like the cut of the OPs best. ^-^ Et plus, the tulle looks cheap to me. >///<

I really love the series, but some items are not my cup of tea. This anklesocks...sorry no. XD

I bought the dress with thights and headbow. First I really want the white or blue version.

Then I got the black set, and now I'm very happy with it. Maybe I try to get the blue version someday.

I'm so in love with the print. No photo can capture this beauty.

 But I still want to show you some pictures. ^___^

And my first attempt at an outfit with Day Dream Carnival:

 Thank you for reading!

(^_^)/

I'll be back soon with a few photos of the Netherlands.
