Spring style inspiration- Otsuka Etsuna

After being in a 'dark' fashion phase for so long (e.g. black everything, or neons, spikes, heavy structures, brash everything) I've found myself craving to look the polar opposite.

Recently I have been craving frills, lace and anything pastel coloured but at the same time those are things that I have never really been comfortable wearing because I've always been worried I'd come across looking too 'cutesy'.

Still I was determined to get my fix of frills, pastels and lace clothes that aren't too cute and thankfully I came across an adorable designer and brand called Etsuna Otsuka.

Marvel at the LACEY REALNESS.

Don't those clothes make you want to just frolic in a field? I know I do.

Willing to sell my soul for these dresses. Yes I am!

Her latest collection channels brides, princesses, mermaids, ballerinas; basically everything you wanted to be as a little girl but it's done in a way that's not overly cute or typically childish

Eating might be a bad idea while wearing these because anything you drop of them will show up

Despite all the happy inspirations, I feel like there is an undertone of creepy happening with this brand, which I love. 

Also the designer is a babe and I love it when designers wear their own clothes.

ooooh

Aaaaah

It's times like now I wish my sewing skills weren't so rusty! I'd love to be able to make stuff like this. But seeing as I can't for the meantime, I will be invading as many vintage stores as possible for vintage lingerie and babydolls.
