Ahh, it’s so sad to think about the wonderful warm weather of Summer coming to an end!  But if you need some new outerwear for the upcoming cooler months, now is when you want to be shopping for on!

This selection of Candy Rain coats from the Aliexpress seller BOBON21 will keep your dainty princess shoulders covered and cozy! (*＾ε＾ ノノ゛☆

Pastel Pink Winter Lolita Coat with Fuzzy Heart Pockets

Ohhhh this is pretty much my FAVORITE look for Winter coats ever~
I honestly just want everything that I own to be in this shade of baby pink.

Red Lace & Fur-Trimmed Winter Poncho Cape

Biiiig warm capes for wearing as it gets cold are the BEST!!!
Like walking around wrapped up in your favorite blanket!
I’ve got to fashion one of these for myself one of these days.

–

Classy Peach Fur Collar Skirted Coat

Coats with a skirted piece like this at the bottom are awesome,
because I don’t know about you guys but MY BUTT GETS COLD,
and having just a bit more length to your coat makes a HUGE difference.

Classy Scalloped-Edge & White Pearl Embellished Lavender Coat

Haha, this could have gone into my lavender roundup from just a couple days ago!
Those big chunky white pearls I think add the cutest look to this.

Elegant White Autumn Suit Jacket

This one is a little thinner than the rest featured here,
good for those somewhat-cool days that aren’t full-on freezing yet!
The fluffy flower embellishment on the shoulder is its charm point!

SHINY Hatsune Miku COSPLAY MAKEUP tutorial by kawaii model Kimura U |木村優の初音ミクきらきらコスプレメイク

Lavender is one of those colors that’s easy to provoke a synesthetic response – the soft, relaxing scent of lavender.  Just browsing these beautiful, softly ruffly ‘casual princess’ clothing pieces is like aromatherapy~

All of these come from the TaoBao brand Candy Rain, and are listed by LoliLoli Shop for Lolita Princess!

Soft Chiffon Princess Overlay Lavender Skirt

Ahhh, lately I have been trying to look up what that draping ‘princess bustle’
is called by name, and can’t seem to find it!
There are definitely some sewing projects I want to do that include it. c:

Soft White Chiffon Overlay Lavender Blouse with Big Bow

That’s a BIG!!!  BOW!!!
And gosh wow the loose and ruffly chiffon sleeves are heavenly.

–

Chiffon Lavender Mermaid Embroidery Skirt

*gasps and points in excitement* Mermaid shell motif!!
You could wear those pretty pastel mermaid shoes with this!

–

White & Lavender Sailor Collar with Candy Rain Embroidery Blouse

I love when bow tails are cut like that!!
This is a perfectly nautical-themed top to go with that mermaid skirt~

–

Soft Floral Chiffon Ruffle Skirt (Lavender or Pink)

Have I featured this skirt already? oAo
OH GOSH I DON’T KNOW!!
It’s so beautiful, like soft flower petals~
Really, it couldn’t hurt to cover it twice, could it?
Edit:  Oops, I also told a little lie in the intro. nn;
This skirt is from BoBon21, not Candy Rain~

I have never tried searching for fabric on Aliexpress, but I am so glad that I tried it! (/*o*\)  The selection of fabric available by the yard is more limited, but there are TOOOONS of collections of fabric quarter-sized pieces that are available in so many beautiful, shabby chic-like prints!  It would be so awesome to bring these together in a pretty, patchwork way!  They would also make very cute smaller crafts!

56-Piece Shabby Chic Fabric Quarter Lot

Wow!!  I clicked on this thinking it was going to offer a selection
of which color you’d like – not a whole 56-piece lot of all of them!
But that makes it all the more amazing that so many are available!!

8-Piece Pretty Pink Fabric Lot

Of course there was going to be pink in this post somewhere!
The floral prints in this lot are so sweet and dreamy!!
And you can really, seriously, never have too many polka dots or gingham prints.

–

50-Piece Cute Print Fabric Quarter Lot

Another huge collection of quarters!
Looking at all of them, I kind of want to make another stuffed bunny,
where each part of the bunny is a different color and pattern.
It would be a pretty pastel patchwork bunny!

–

5-Piece Baby Blue Fabric Quarter Lot

Ohhh look at this sweet baby blue!
I love that you get the bow print in both white-on-blue and blue-on-white.
I would make some cute, color-coordinated pieces out of them!
