Two versions of Angelic Pretty's Milky-chan Fawn Coat in polkadots and solid
Last time we shared our top picks from the 2009/2010 Lolita winter coat collections. We’re continuing our coverage with a theme that was hard to miss – animal prints and motifs. Rabbit ears and leopard prints are old standbys that are accompanied by this year’s growing trend – fawns. But don’t make the mistake of thinking the brands aren’t taking risks, one succeeds in giving us a coat featuring an animal that is not at all predictable.
Fawns
First up, and pictured above, are the polka-dot and solid versions of Angelic Pretty’s Milky-chan Coat. On the left is the polka-dot print version with solid colored fur. On the right is the solid version with a spotted fawn print fur. The coat features an adorable Milky-chan applique and this may be an abosolute first for a piece of clothing that features a fawn-earred hoodie.

While the rest of us were boiling away in the summer sun, the Lolita brands were quietly releasing their 2009/2010 collection of winter coats to their blogs and reservation pages. There are so many designs this year, it’s impossible to fit it all in one post, so we’re breaking it up – starting with our top picks.
Angelic Pretty's Pretty Girl Coat in blue and Metamorphose's Double Breast Coat in black and white houndstooth
Sweet Houndstooth
First up are two great coats from Angelic Pretty and Metamorphose featuring a houndstooth print and a double breast design. Both coats are accented by faux fur trim and waist ribbons. Despite the similarities, Angelic Pretty’s coat has a sweeter style while the Metamorphose coat, with it’s collar set askew, has a slightly more elegant appearance.
