New Print: BTSSB Flying Love from Juliet


There's a new print from Baby, The Stars Shine Bright : Flying Love from Juliet
This brand new print features plenty of roses, lace, hearts, and birds; and comes in the colorways Nostalgic Ivory, Romantic Pink, 'Memoire' Brown, and Rococo Black.  It's very elegant and perfect for that soft sweet look.
The design for the OP (Or Doll JSK because of the shorter sleeves) features gathered sides, a sash around the waist, and pearls hanging from the front bow. 
At first I wasn't excited about the design, but after looking at it for a while I realized how elegant BABY was really trying to make it. 
I don't necessarily enjoy the gathered sides- and I'm also not very receptive to the sash rather than waist ties (Which can be fixed easily because the sash is removable- but then it looks like there's something missing).
The next is the JSK, which I LOVE.  To me there's nothing wrong about this design. I'm just way too excited about it (especially after seeing the scans in KERA magazine -see below-)!  If I could, I would nab the pink and black colorways.

The set also includes an adorable bonnet, wrist-cuffs to die for, adorable socks, an elegant necklace, and
 TWO types of earrings which can all be seen here.

All in all, I think that this would be a wonderful part of almost any Lolita's collection because of the versatility it offers. +1 for BABY.

A Lolita's Introduction

 はじめまして~
Here it is: the introductory post.
Welcome to my blog, SPARKLE CANDY!! (スパークルキャンヂ)
I am hoping that this blog will not only help others in their quest  to be the best Lolita and human that they can be, but help me to do the same.  I believe that Lolitas from all around the world can come together and support each other.
This blog will include a wide range of topics such as beauty tips to creating your own accessories to self confidence in the outside world as a Lolita.  I want to embrace not only the fashion that we love but the lifestyle that can come with it and make us feel just as special as the clothes that we wear.
 Who Am I?
My name is Johanna (Yo-Haun-Uh).  I am a sweet Lolita of two years.  My favorite brand is BABY The Stars Shine Bright.  I love wrist cuffs and old school rectangle headdresses.  I find joy in tying old school style to what's popular now.  
I am a studio art major and Japanese language minor in college by day and a tattoo artist by... every other day!  
My handle on livejournal is r0b0loli, so be sure to drop me a line.
