Twinkle Constellation and the Stars of Confeito

I received the new Twinkle Constellation and the Stars of Confeito JSK in the mail this week!  It was my first time reserving directly on the Japanese website.  I was surprised to find that the English directions on the BTSSB website didn't explain everything clearly and there were a few boxes I only knew how to fill out because I read Japanese.  I made the reservation just after midnight, since I waited too long for the last dress I wanted and it sold out! (T_T)

After much debate, I decided to order the JSK in navy and the head bow in pink (at my hubby's suggestion).  The navy is perfect because it looks like stars in the night sky, but I really like pink and wanted to bring it out as much as possible.  To offset the overwhelming pink in the head bow (which has no navy at all), I bought a pair of the Dreamy Star Ribbon combs from Angelic Pretty in navy.

Not all of the Twinkle Constellation accessories have become available yet.  I ordered the navy socks (which haven't shipped yet), but missed out on the pink ones...  Also, the San Francisco store hasn't received their shipment yet.  Finally, I fell in love with the new Dreamy Unicorn Bag from AP.  The JSK has various constellations in the pattern, including pegasus.  I know that pegasus and unicorns aren't the same thing, but it's close enough. ^^

I put together a quick coordinate for some photos in the garden.

Love the unicorn purse... <3

Toy Parade Review

I recently purchased the Toy Parade OP in lavender from the Angelic Pretty store in San Francisco. I had intended to buy the JSK, but the OP was so cute that I changed my mind.  Plus all the girls in the store convinced me that this one looked perfect. ^^

I'm completely in love with the scalloped edge across the chest on the OP.  It almost looks like a JSK with a blouse underneath.

The print has an assortment of stuffed bunnies, bears and elephants with candy and balloons.  The print has a mix of pink, mint, yellow, and severals shades of purple.  The lighting in my dining room isn't as nice as the professional photo above. XD

The scalloped edge continues around onto the back.  The dress has a zipper and no shirring, so only smaller girls can wear it.  I have a 33-inch bust and am just about maxing it out.  The JSK is also super cute and the straps can be adjusted for additional length.  The JSK has cute star lace on the straps which I absolutely love!

As usual, the lace is super cute.  The sleeves have stars and the collar and skirt hem have teddy bears with balloons.  The lace on the color is a lighter shade of lavender than the lace around the bottom of the skirt, which is a little pinker (not shown).

I met my twin at Fanime right after we both got our dresses.  She's wearing the JSK and coordinated it with pink and white accessories.

I have the matching head bow, but wore the lavender sweetheart OTKs.  The mint, yellow and pink colors on the socks match the dress perfectly!

Love it!  This is my favorite dress and I'm inspired to buy more in lavender from now on. d=(*^_^*)=b

Pony in Sweet Dreams

My most recent purchase arrived in the mail the other day, the Pony in Sweet Dreams Babydoll JSK in white.  I obtained the set (including head bow and socks) second hand from the EGL Comm Sales.  The prior owner indicated that there is a light stain somewhere, but I haven't found it yet. ^^  This print is a 2009 release from Baby the Stars Shine Bright that came in black, white or pink.

This is a shot with the entire set.  See my earlier post for the AP blouse with the pink jabot.  I thought this JSK would make an excellent casual summer dress that I could wear without a blouse, but the dress is too low under the arms and exposes the top of my bra.  It can be worn without a bra, but it doesn't seem conservative enough for lolita. (T_T)

My little brother isn't so little, 6'5" (O_O), so I had to crop this one so that I fit in the frame.  He makes me feel small... ^^;

I love the look of the dress, though, and it can be worn without a petticoat for a more casual look.  I've already coordinating it with my new pink AP blouse and cardigan, both which are super cute!

Here's the top of the dress.   I really love the lace across the neckline, but I need to iron one side (it keeps folding down from being shipped that way).  There's a detachable bow that I removed because it was too busy with the cardigan.  It's in one of the shots above.

The JSK has pink bows and pink in the print, but there are also blue and purple accents in the print that will be fun to accessorize with.  The fabric seems durable and feels like thin canvas; the lace is also thicker and less prone to wear.

Note the purple nails - I was excited for the dress to arrive and had them already decorated in matching colors when it came.  Overall, this dress is very comfortable and cute without being OTT.  It's something I could use as daily wear.  I think this is my favorite dress yet!
