Animal prints

This was on my bloglist for a long time: animals!

I'm an animal lover and I'm getting two rabbits myself this Summer. I can't wait till they are old enough. 

An animal theme can work for any style. I created some outfits for sweet, gothic and classic as inspiration for an animal themed look.


Sweet
For the sweet looks I chose honey picnic and sheep garden. At the honey picnic jsk I tried to bring out the brown of the bears. The golden shoes make the look more summery and grown up. With some cute bear accessoires you make the look complete. The sheep garden outfit has socks, a bow and the bag from the same series. I think the sheep bag is adorable.

Gothic
Before I made these outfits, I thought it would be easy to create a gothic outfit with an animal print. But it was more difficult than I thought. These two outfits are darker than the other outfits, but they have still something classic. I combined the butterfly jsk with a black blouse and butterfly themed items. The flamingo jsk is combined with a bolero. To go a bit more crazy you can add boots with hotpink shoelaces and pink bows.

Classic
For the classic outfits I chose two jumerskirts from Innocent world. They ended up brown both, but it fits the animal theme fine. I added dog and deer accessoires. Deer accessoires are quite popular these days, so it wouldn't be difficult to find them in local stores.

Melty Mermaid Princess

Another mermaid post!

Alice and the pirates has made a new print: Melty Mermaid Princess. Now we can finally see the print and the designs of it. Many pople wondered how the print looked like. The print is based on the original Hans Cristian Andersen story and is very detailed. (Click at the picture of a lager version.)  There are four colourways, but I like the white x blue colourway the most.

The designs are a bit dissapointing, especially the jsk. The ruffle at the jsk looks unflattering and the ruffle at the bottom don't look good. The OP is fancy, but I wouldn't wear it myself. It just don't fit my style. I like the skirt most, but too bad it is too small for me. I do like the socks and the headress, but the necklace looks cheap.

What do you think of this new print?

I made a quick outfit with the skirt.

Eyeliner!

Today I found some inspirational pictures for using eyeliner. I rarely use eyliner, but after seeing this pictures I want to wear it more often.

Sweet and Gothic Mermaids

Aqua princess is one of the new prints of Angelic Pretty. This print reminds me of Mermaid Symphony and Twinkle Mermaid, two other prints made my Angelic Pretty with mermaids on it. Especially Twinkle Mermaid looks very similar to Aqua Princess. But this time the colours of the print are brighter and they made some nice colour combinations. It's made in the colours pink, sax, black and mint.  A print with a mermaid theme is perfect for Summer.

One print, two looks

With the colourways of Aqua Princess you can make two different looks with using the same print. Sweet coords with mermaids on it are much more seen, but a gothic outfit around a mermaid theme is more rare.

I tried to create two different looks, but still with the same theme.

In the gothic look I focused on the bright purple, without making it too overwelming. And the sweet look is pink and with with a classic touch. Both looks has pearls, pararols and a shell shaped bag. Those items reminds me of the sea.
