My Style : Windswept

A simple outfit, with the focus on the hair. I made a few changes in my make up and features. It's amazing how a  small touch up in the make up and a new pair of eyes made such a drastic change in my doll's look.

PPQ New Collection

A new collection for PPQ was released and it is inspired by their Spring Summer 2014 "Atropa Bella-Donna" collection (see the real life versions here ). Interesting info: Atropa Belladonna or Deadly Nightshade is an intoxicating plant.

The store is missing two floors, probably a glitch, but you can find the missing clothes on the catalog. I 'll update the post once it's fixed.
Update : Here are the two missing floors!

PPQ accessories never fail to impress me! I loved the "Floral PPQ Headpiece" and the "Western Buckles Belt". As for the clothes I choose two pieces, the "Violet Dancer Skirt" and "Breezy White Gown" which I'm wearing below as a skirt.

I'm wearing : Breezy White Gown, PPQ | Pune Blouse, Film Theory | Sharp White Cape Blazer, Rio | Iris Shoes, Nelly | Chanel Chains Handbag, Chanel | Plait Ribbons, PPQ

A new collection of Velvet Orchid was released yesterday. Like in the previous collections there is a lot of black, pink and purple. I'm not a fan of Velvet Orchid, and I rarely find something I like. In this collection I picked out two pieces, the "Rainbow Shinny Skirt" and the "Black Rebel Denim".
The skirt is the highlight of the collection, not only because it's iridescent, which is one of the hottest trends at the moment, but also because of it's price (starcoins!). As for the jeans, I don't usually buy denim, but these strongly remind me of the "NY Used Denim" from the Young Hollywood Street Style collection (here) which unfortunately I missed. They are rolled up, ripped and loose and I love them!

June Hot Buys

The June 2014 Hot Buys were revealed and here they are. I have to say, I don't get this collection. There are so many different styles, a spakly , puffy dress (more appropriate for Christmas Eve than for hot summer days) along with casual tees and sneakers.  Overall it doesn't scream summer to me. Hovever the presentation is quite nice! I like the body painting, graffiti and the color splashes. They make it look like a fresh and modern magazine photoshoot. My favourite is the "Hot Buys Sparkly Platforms". The "Hot  Buys Feather Ear Piece" also looks versatille, I think it can be used as a necklace as well. Do you like them? What are you thinking of buying?

I have a pretty long wishlist, especially if you consider that I was around when all of these were released, but for some reason I never bought them. My top priority items are seen in the picture above. You can see some pieces from the early days of Stardoll, like the headscarf and some most recent like the Chanel bag. Starbazaar search is not always helpful, especially when searching for tributes, so I keep adding new things and I rarely find something to cross of my wishlist. Of course there is always Callie's Picks, maybe I'll be lucky..You can see my full list on my starblog here.

If you have any of these and you want to get rid of them, you found the right person :) Contact me in my guestbook here.

Callie's Picks Issue No. 16 : Seeing Spots

I'm wearing : Hot Buys Leather Shirt, Fallen Angel | Sharp Cape Blazer, Rio | High Waisted Trousers, Bonjour Bisou * | Cuffed Trousers, Otto * | Harley Spikes Bag, Fashion Inc/Callie's Picks | Ruched Peep Toe Ankle Boot, Bonjour Bisou/Callie's Picks | Crystal Necklace, Voile/Callie's Picks *
*starcoins items

Here we are again, with one more Callie's Picks collection. This time the theme is leopard print. In Callie's words : "And the trend that fashion can never get enough of is, of course, leopard! Season after season, "spotted" on style stars as early as the 1960's, this catty print makes super ferocious comebacks."
I have to admit that I'm not a fan of leopard print, it's difficult to style it and make it look classy. I know many people can pull it off and create amazing outfits, I'm just not one of them. So I went straight for the shoes and accessories, and I found quite a few I liked.
My picks are : Metal Tiger Belt (Bonjour Bisou), 4 stardollars, a February 2009 Hot Buy | Long Fake Eyelashes (Splendid), 13 stardollars, a Hot Buy as well and a much wanted item | Ruched Peep Toe Ankle Boot (Bonjour Bisou), 10 stardollars | Harley Spikes Bag (Fashion Inc), 16 stardollars, it is one of the rewards of Fashion Inc., a Stardoll app, and you can get it for free if you have an android/iphone and some patient | Crystal Necklace (Voile), 54 starcoins |
To my surprise I realised that there are a few items ( Bat Wing Jacket, Pearl Top Shades, New York Heels, Leopard Breeze Skirt) in this collection that are given for free through Fashion Ink. and there are now sold in stardollars and quite expensive too..hmm..

How to Style : The Visible Bra

We see it everywhere, bras showing under see through tops and peeking out of shirts. It's definitely a trend that has a lot of fans but at the same time is difficult to pull it off. There is a thin line that if you cross,  you may end up looking a little "too naked". You have to keep it classy, so if you are going to wear a sheer top, keep the rest of the outfit modest.

Wearing this trend on Stardoll is much easier, since we don't have to deal with practicality or comfort. And there is a vide variety of bras/bikini tops in starplaza in many colours and patterns to choose from. In the picture you can see a selection from Riviera, Basics, Velvet Orchid and Wild Candy.

Riviera New Collection

On Wednesday we got two new floors on Riviera. As I've written before I don't see any use for the bikinis, unless I use them in a themed outfit. However this collection stood out to me not because of the smimwear but for the accessories! There were some great headpieces and jewellery to choose from. 

My only complain is that most of the accessories go to our Beauty Parlour, which is a problem for many members who use the room style feature.

My top picks are : Gold Body Jewel, 8 stardollars | White Daisies Headpiece, 12 Stardollars | Roses Crown, 14 stardollars | Scarf Wraps Headpicece, 8 stardollars.

Other items I liked are the Beach Bling Bracelet and the Stella Afro Necklace.

Featured Designer : Dawniela

I am crazy for hats! Berets, caps, wide brim hats, any sort of hat makes me happy! So when I visited Dawniela a couple of weeks ago, I was very excited with her designs. She makes cartoony hats, which is the most brilliant and original idea! Her desings are very detailed, with great shadings and I like how they clash with the three dimensional and realistic doll. They kind of remind me the "Jump from Paper" bags (you can see them here) which are flat but look like they are 3D...

Anyway, back to Stardoll, the price for the designs range from 69 to 79 stardollars and you can find them in her Starbazaar which is always restocked.

My Style : Candy Floss

I haven't yet decided if I love or hate this color combination. I usually hate pink on me but this hairstyle is so divine that I didn't pay much attention to the color. I tried to keep the rest of my outfit toned down, with black pants and this cute pom-pom purse.

I'm wearing :
Bright Coat, Archive
Cuffed Trousers, Otto *
Feather Shoulder Jumpsuit, Callie's Picks/Bonjour Bisou (layered underneather the cuffed trousers for extra volume)
Olivia Shoulder Bag, It Girls
Lace Up Cut Out Booties, Nelly

Would you be interested in having a competition once a month?
I was thinking of having a dress up competition, where I (or you) would pick a movie, series or book and you would create your favourite character. So if you are interested in something like that, leave me a comment here.

Of course there will be a prize, but I'll post the rules, details and prizes later if I see that you guys are interested in participating.
I'm open to any suggestions you might have, feel free to comment below :)

Film Theory New Collection : Maleficent

My inner child was very excited with this collection. I usually don't write posts for decor stores but I'll make an exception for this one since Maleficent is one my favourite evil characters. 

I always enjoyed watching the Sleeping Beauty, I loved the haunted music and the plot. The new Film Theory has everything you need for a Sleeping Beauty themed room, a speening wheel, Aurora's bed, thorne bushes, a dragon and of course the iconic Maleficent outfit, with horns and a sceptre! The inspiration for this collection is coming from the film "Maleficent".

I'm wearing :

Maleficent Horns, Film Theory

Witch Cape, Halloween Pass '13

Miss Universe Bodysuit, Young Hollywood

Starplaza Haul : 3 for 2 Sales

Stardoll is having a 3 for 2 sale in selected shops only, including some of the "expensive" real brands like PPQ and Nelly. It's not a 50% sale but you can still save some dollars.. I gathered my favourite stuff from these stores (Miss Sixty, Nelly, PPQ, It Girls, Pretty n' Love) in this post. All of the items you see in the picture below costed me 194 stardollars and I saved a total of 50 stardollars, which means I would have paid 244 stardollars normally.. I was surprised to find some stuff from the latest releases that I haven't noticed before like the lace up shoes from Nelly and the bag from It Girls which I'm wearing below.

From It Girls : Alexia Jacket, 15 stardollars / Frappe Tee, 8 stardollars / Faux Leather Top, 12 stardollars / Plaid Wrap Around Skirt, 7 stardollars / Olivia Shoulder Bag, 12 stardollars  From Nelly.com : Clean Cut Shirt, 19 stardollars / Pattern Skirt, 14 stardollars / Lace Up Cut Out Booties, 14 stardollars / Carly Ellwood Shoes, 13 stardollars / Oggy Shoes, 10 stardollars / Alice Sandals, 13 stardollars  From PPQ : Tangerine Chiffon Scarf, 8 stardollars / PPQ Gaucho Hat, 10 stardollars / White Diva Chemisier, 22 stardollars / PPQ Long Earrings, 5 stardollars  From Pretty n' Love : Bring Me Flowers Tote, 8 stardollars / Floral Silk Ball Skirt, 16 stardollars / Flowing Lace Skirt, 12 stardollars / White Spring Sandals, 7 stardollars / Black Spring Sandals, 7 stardollars  From Miss Sixty : Adelie Hat, 12 stardollars

Callie's Picks Issue No. 15 : Boho Chic & Young Hollywood MET Gala 2014

I can't believe we had fifteen Callie's Picks collections already. I'm always excited for Callie's Picks since no matter what the theme will be, you can always find some hidden treasures in there. This collection for instance, the theme is far away from my usual style, but I have found some stuff that I really liked. My picks are the :

Feather Shoulder Jumpsuit (17 stardollars), originally from Bonjour Bisou, a simple and elegant black jumpsuit with a v neck and silver shoulder details (are those supposed to be feathers?).

Leather Bag (11 stardollars), originally from Bonjour Bisou, it was one of the October 2010 Hot Buys and I believe that it was a wanted item. A brown leather bag is one of the pieces that can work with many outfits, for example with a suit and a pair of oxfords in an adrogynous look.

Faux Mink Shorts (14 stardollars), originally from Rio, a 2010 November Hot Buy. I wanted these for a long time but they were sold quite expensive in Starbazaar. Now that I finally have the chance to buy them for an almost reasonable price, I'm having second thoughs as I'm not sure how to style them. But either way they are pretty.

I'm wearing :

Feather Shoulder Jumpsuit (I think the word feather has been overused in this post :P), Callie's Picks/Bonjour Bisou

Black Deep V Top, Perfect Day

Raffia Sunhat, Millionaire Mansion Fashion *

Gianni White Gladiators, LE

Question Mark Bag, Evil Panda

Black Silver Buckle Belt, Voile *

*starcoins items

We also got a new Young Hollywood flash collection, inspired from some of the dresses worn in the MET Gala (click the picture to enlarge). The real versions were worn by Liu Wen, Naomi Campbell and Georgia May Jagger and you can see them in this post from MSW Inspired by blog. I was very disspointed with this collection. The left and right dresses looked so flat and poorly made. It would be better if they released it a few days later, than releasing this rushed collection. The Liu Gown was the best piece along with the Georgia May Heels. The design of the dress was very close to the real version but alas, they had to make it in this barbie pink color.

Evil Panda New Collection : Tokyo

A new collection of Evil Panda was released yesterday and it was inspired by Tokyo street style. The prices range from 6 to 18 stardollars and there are two starcoins items for 96 and 147 starcoins. The collection also includes a male outfit. I'm not into Harajuku style, but I have stumbled upon many users in Stardoll who like it. Even though I don't like it I'm happy to see some variety in Starplaza and stores with different styles.
My picks are the "Anime Skirt" for 13 stardollars and the "Question Mark Bag" for 6 stardollars. I have mixed feelings for the "Cat Socks Boots", the price is outrageous (18 stardollars) and I can't decide whether they look too chunky or not.


My outfit is far from beeing Harajuku, and frankly I don't really like it but I had to post something and this was the best I could do..
I'm wearing :
Independence Shirt, Mr
Anime Skirt, Evil Panda

How to Style : The Lace Up Sandals

The lace up sandals are one of the biggest trends the last couple of years. They can be flat, high heeled, knee high, printed, you name it. Nothings says confident and sexy better than those statement sandals. They are very easy to wear, they nearly fit with every outfit.. I created two different looks, one with my beloved "Gianni White Gladiators" and the other with the "Pink Strappy MSW Heels".
