My Love for AP
When I first began wearing the fashion in 2012, I was immediately drawn to AP. While I tried out other brands such as Metamorphose, Innocent World and Baby The Stars Shine Bright, AP has always been a favorite. Most of my lolita wardrobe is from AP. I like to collect items to complete sets, such as jewelry, socks, and the matching bag if I like it enough. I don't see myself giving up AP anytime soon. My favorite releases by Angelic Pretty include Honey Cake, Chess Chocolate, Day Dream Carnival. I mostly collect prints with cats, berries, ponies, celestial motifs, chocolate, and anything mermaid/shell related.
