Do you find yourself stuck inside for a weekend of only homework, homework and more homework, without any chance of getting to see your frilly friends?
Or are you perhaps planning a meeting with some of them, but need inspiration on
what to do after finishing your tea, cucumber sandwiches and cupcakes?
Well, you need´t think of anything too fancy, I assure you...

This is why I have decided to start my new series
♡5 Sweet Lolita things♡
with the topic of movies!
I have dug out a few movies I like, that I think fit perfectly with the whimsically cute air of sweet lolita, so if you´d feel like a little brake, take a chance and look into one of these little treats.
1.
Kamikaze Girls
Perhaps the most iconic lolita movie of all time, Kamikaze Girls is suited for all styles within lolita. If you haven´t seen this one, there isn´t anything I would reccomend more! This is my personal favourite movie, that I´ve seen a countless amount of times, and it still makes my heart beat faster.
The story takes place in Japan, early 2000´s. The main character is a young girl of 17 called Momoko. She has no wish to create relations with anyone, and desires most of all to live the life of a rococco maiden. Her favourite brand is Baby, the star shines bright, which she can be seen wearing on most occations throughout the entire movie. Though completely emersed in herself, an odd turn of events leads her to meet with Ichigo, a scooter-riding yankee girl, and her total opposite in every way! Still, it is to be proven that the two of them creates a better duo than anyone would have expected! Extremly funny, and heartful, a definate must see!

Barbie in the nutcracker
The story is about a young girl named Clara (played by Barbie) who one christmas recieves a nutcracker in the shape of a little soldier, from her Aunt. Then, in the middle of the night when everyone is asleep, the nutcracker suddenly awakens to fight the evil Mouse king that has made his way into Claras house. Clara is awakended by all the fuss, and suddenly finds herself shrunken into the size of the nutcracker! She finds out that the nutcracker is acctually a prince, and the Mouse king his sworen enemy, having cast the magical spell upon him that turned him into a nutcracker. Now Clara must veture into their world, beond the mouse-hole to save the prince and regain her former size. And the journey turns out to be quite an adventure!

Mirror Mirror
I think you all know the story of snow white from before, but I bet you have never seen it like this! What intrigued me about this movie, is the amazing scenery, elabroate and delicate outfits, and the wonderful humour. It is a very cosy movie, that at the same time gives you so much wonderful to look at! Every scene has a new and amazing set of costumes, and dear I say that the ballroom scene is as pleasing to the eye as the ever so famous ballroom scene from "Labyrinth" ever was! I was in awe throughout the entire movie. It is imaginative, quite original and really... Lily Collins is the fairest of them all! Discuss all the frilly fancies with your friends, or just be completely starstruck by this amazing fantasy movie all by yourself.

Sharpay´s fabulous adventure
You might recognize Sharpay Evans from the (in)famous High School musical movies, where she played a rather stuck up snobby "everything is about me!" type of girl, and really, you can´t say much is changed! But that is what we love about her. Sharpay is her own kind of modern day princess, making her way to the top, reaching for the stars. Not only does everything she owns scream pink and glitter, but her room is a total pink explosion!
This movie is about her starting a life on her own, with her little dog, hopefully making them both famous superstars along the way. The perfect movie for a good laugh, even with all of its thousands of clichés.

5.
Marie Antoinette
The story evolves around the french queen Marie Antoinette and her story about becoming, and being the queen of france. It is an interesting adaption, with a modern day twist of cool punk-ish music mixed in between all the bows, frilly lace and silk trims. It lets us get a deeper look into the rich and posh life at Versailles, with its pleasures and its sorrows. For everyone that is at all interested in details, old fashioned furniture or the rococco era (did I hear a tripple yes?) this is your go-to movie. I absolutely love the mixture of amazing fashion, combined with fun music, lively characters and the most wonderful tarts, cakes, confectionary and sweets you could ever imagine. It will have your mouth running in a couple of minutes, I garantee it! Girls night in movie!

Now, I hope you liked the little selection of movies I´ve picked out for you guys! ^^
Please let me know what you think of the movies if you´ve seen them, or better yet, tell me your opinion after watching a new one! I know a lot of these movies are well known and perhaps you´ve allready seen all of them far more than I have, but in my opinion these are movies to be seen over and over again.
Stay tuned for more sweet lolita tips, and perhaps more movie tips also!
Who knows what the future might bring ;-)
