Angelic Pretty Tea Party 2016

As always, I'm super late! 

Is it ok if I say I was waiting for the official pictures to be released?

The day started quite early for me because I had to go to the model rehearsals during the morning. I'm beyond happy I got to model for Angelic Pretty once again ! This time, the show was going to be bigger than last year and AP's fashion show coordinator was here to work on the show with us. And that's a very good point ! 

I arrived to the Westin Vendome a bit early (yes I wasn't late at all wow you're impressed, right?) so I waited in the gorgeous lobby until the rehearsal began. Soon Roxane was here too! I was so excited because this was going to be our first time modeling together ♥

And very quickly, everyone was here and we got into the Salon Impérial, where the tea party was held. It was really impressive, all golden, fancy and beautiful!

The AP team welcomed us, I was so happy to see them again! RinRin, Chikage and Risa were already there getting ready.

We discovered our outfits and started dressing up before begining the actual rehearsals. 

I got to wear the Cirque de l'Étoile OP which is one of my favorite dresses from the Autumn collection! Not my usual style but it seems I always got to wear reddish or brownish outfits when AP decides. The AP team was here to help us getting ready and this time we also had a hair and make-up artist which was the same as two years ago for the photoshoot we did in Paris! The photographer was also the same!

We had a lot of space to get ready, tables with lots of mirrors so I decided to style my hair myself but I went to check with Maki if twintails where OK and I ended up with twintails (yay) and glittery stars in my hair! 

Once my hair was covered in stars and my make-up was done, I checked with Maki if everything was OK (once again) and she gave me a scepter to complete my outfit. I felt so fancy, ah ! 

We had a lunch break with sandwiches and pastries, then we began the rehearsals.
I don't remember how much we spend rehearsing, then Honda-san checked everyone's outfit to fix the final details. We practiced a lot until it was time to hide in the backstage and wait until the fashion show. I was nervous but also very very excited! Actually, I was way less nervous than last year and enjoyed the show a lot more~

♥ Angelic Pretty Paris GRAND OPENING 7/7 ♥

As you might already know, the new Angelic Pretty store in Paris opened few week ago and of course I HAD to be there ! (And YES, it's a permanent store!) My beloved Roxane came to my place the day before so we could wake-up really early, dress-up and go to the store (really early as well) together ♥

How exciting! We barely slept because poor life decisions eh, who needs sleep?

I won't tell you how early we woke-up because you're all gonna juge us but we were standing (more like sitting) in line at 06:30 AM. Yes, I told you...  Poor life decisions.

We arrived in front of the store and riiight after Hécate and Lily joined us.

We started talking and we realized standing for maybe 4 hours was going to be way too much so... 

We grabbed some cardboard boxes and sat on them, but hey genuine AP boxes so it's ok, am I right ? How infortunate I don't have any pictures but we were the true burando hobos, yes we have no shame.

More people showed up little by little, grabbed a box and sat with us because why not! 

Soon the staff arrived and they gave us tickets with numbers like expected. It was quite funny (or even a bit embarrassing) because they didn't speak a word of French or English but somehow we managed and lined up to receive our tickets. 

Roxane and I got No. 1 and No. 2 yaaaay~
