It does look messy. I think the hearts are the worst bit of the print.<br /><br />I actually like that the Baby print is not overly crowded! I was aware of the Japanese Christmas cake thing with the strawberries but to me they still look a bit out of place. Maybe if the strawberries were actually on a cake instead of being shown growing on a vine it would look a bit more Winter appropriate? As strawberries need warmer weather to grow, it looks at odds with the snowy scene to me!Luna Rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08464262368460043966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3007649283775805988.post-13795742086625019022017-09-12T04:32:02.368-07:002017-09-12T04:32:02.368-07:00I actually rather like the Lovely Shopping print, ...I actually rather like the Lovely Shopping print, though you are right and it is a bit tacky!Rolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397860759056883709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3007649283775805988.post-52935052835171512862017-09-11T03:39:11.651-07:002017-09-11T03:39:11.651-07:00I know exactly what you mean about the Lovely Shop...I know exactly what you mean about the Lovely Shopping print looking like the Meta camouflage print. To me this looks like an attempt to revive the makeu-up/dressing room themed prints, like Fantastic Dolly or Dreamy Girl, but without the charm or finesse of those. It is a bit messy in execution and I'm starting to think that it's because of all those hearts in the background.<br /><br />And the Baby print I find to be a bit empty, but in the sense that a lot of what you see is just a landscape kind of background rather than trying to fill it in with objects or characters. It has everything that I should like, yet somehow misses the mark for me. I seem to remember that there were loads of strawberries around in winter when I was in Japan and what the Japanese call a Christmas cake is a shortcake full of vanilla cream and strawberries, so for the Japanese strawberries are quite a Christmas thing. Makes little sense pretty much anywhere else where they're not in season until late May/June, but once you know that, they seem that teeny tiny bit less out of place. Or at least they do to me. :PCupcake Kamisamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13424220962457880734noreply@blogger.com
