Calanthe's Nightingale

Parasols by Mary Magdalene

Because parasols are amazing. 

Grimoir of the Moonlight Forest JSK I by Alice and the Pirates

By Moi Meme Moitie

I always forget to check Moitie’s site because they don’t normally release anything that I really like.  Some of their stuff is really gorgeous, but most of it feels very bland.  This print, though, is lovely— especially on that black underbust JSK.

Although, I’m still not entirely sure how I feel about the use of blatantly religious images in lolita >_>  I kind of wish the more gothic-inclined brands would branch out a little more— I still want an absinthe print *_*

From the Ribbon Cherry room wear series by Victorian Maiden

These are also listed as part of the series, but they’re definitely not room wear.  They’re adorable, though *_*

The Flower Tulle Rococo OP by Victorian Maiden.  I love this periwinkle/pale blue color.

I feel like it’s been ages since Angelic Pretty has released something so stunning.  This dress seriously floored me when I saw it on their site *_*  And I actually like all the colorways, though I think the lavender/purple one is my favorite.

Normally, I can’t say that I care for Metamorphose.  A lot of the time, I even forget that the brand exists, since so much of what they release ends up being forgettable (or it ends up being memorable for all the wrong reasons).  But this?  I completely love the Gobelin Teddy Print series.  Thank you for finally doing something right, Meta.
