If I were an editor for Vogue, my list for the essentials of this trend would go something like this:

Satin ribbons
White cotton or linen lace
Babydoll dresses
Golden heart pendant
Flower prints
Ankle socks
Striped tights
Plastic toy accessories

Got more ideas?

why do you have to be an editor for vogue...?...anyone can have those things...or do you mean that you would suggest that other people get them...?... :unsure:

round toe shoes
bows
puffy sleeves
empire waists
smocking (gathers)
cropped/shrunken jkts and/or cardigan


:flower:

Vogue editors like to dictate the "essentials" for every season, that's what I meant :wink: :P

Beautiful additions to the list! Specifically like the puffy sleeves, roud toe shoes, empire waists and smocking. lovely :flower: :heart:

softgrey: so pretty :wub: and it is connected to this thread as well!

thanks..i love what you've posted too... :flower: :wink:
 
I like the Lolita look when it's done a bit more grown up...if that makes any sense. Kind of like, pretty little baby-doll dress, but in black, cute mary jane pumps, but with a high heel, smudgy black eyeliner, messy up-do. Kind of girly, but with an edge.

Marc Jacobs f/w 01 and Gucci f/w 01 did it the way I like it.

That's a very pretty dress, purple!
I thought so, as are the ones that you've posted... :P
Here are a couple more, from Clements Ribeiro's fall 2004 show.

(Notice the skull on the last one- very Gothic Lolita).

Just two more for now, a larger view of the black flowered one.
:heart: That lacey black dress is from the same season, by Rochas.
