New Feature : The Vote

The Vote is a new photo contest.
The rules are simple : Everyday there is a different theme (e.g. glamour, birthday party, adventure). You create a photo according to this theme and sumbit it to Vote (first pic). Then the other users vote for their favourite photos and the one with the most votes wins. You can vote for your favourite pictures here and by doing that you can earn starcoins. There is a vote-o-meter and when you fill it you earn starcoins. I earned so far, 10, 25 and 75 starcoins.

At the moment it's a royalty only feature, but I suppose it will soon be available to all members.

Callie's Picks Issue No.4 : 1 skirt, 10 looks

The new collection of Callie's Picks is here. This is the 4th issue and the theme is how to create multiple outfits that all include the same statement piece, in our case the "Callie Chains Skirt".

The store has one floor and the prices range from 7 to 27 stardollars and from 48 to 152 starcoins.

And here is the complete collection:

Overall when I saw the pieces separately, I noticed that there are some great items. The arrangement on the mannequins are once again awful and overwhelming so that it turns you away from buying. Huge part in this plays the ugliness of the skirt wich is in every outfit.

The highlight of this collection are the jackets. The re-release of the Elle and the HotBuys Jacket caused a small fuss in the Stardoll community. The store included also past Hot Buys like the "Peach One Piece" from May 2009 (same as the "Band Jacket" mentioned before), the "Callies Snowboots" from February 2009, the "Fishnet Top" and the "Accordion Purse" from October 2009 and the"Sparkle Sunglasses" from August 2009.Additionally there are several pieces from Tribute stores like the "Torero Pumps" ,and "Spike Bowling Bag", both from Louboutin, the "Lace Floral Dress" from Dolce and Gabbana, the "Studding Jacket" and "Handcuff Bag" from Frankie Morello, the "Dior Couture Top" from Couture Tribute and the "Sequined Skinny Pants" from Just Cavalli.

Here is how I styled some of my favourite pieces :

Update : Suite Buttons

Stardoll has made a few changes in the suite's buttons. The mazor change is that camera can't zoom anymore (which I still hope it's a glitch and we will soon have the zoom button back) and it has a more clean appearancce. Furthemore they changed the album, camera and fullscreen buttons and now you have to click "My Suite" to see your rooms, which were previously shown on the sidebar.

Suprisingly the camera hasn't change in the Beauty Parlor.

Featured Designer : Lindsay12346

Lindsay12346 is a fashion designer. I just discovered her and I was impressed by her portrait t-shirts.

At the moment she sells crop tops with Marylin Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Bob Marley and Frida Kahlo prints.

She makes two different versions, a colored one and one more like a sketch. As she states in her presentation she can make the designs in different colors according to your liking and they cost 14 stardollars.

Valentino Tribute Collection

A Valentino tribute store was released today.

The store has two floors and it consists of both formal and casual clothes.

The prices range from 12 to 60 (!) stardollars. You can also buy the interior for 38 stardollars.

Once more it was a disappointment, for many reasons.

How can a pair of jeans be part of a Valentino tribute store? Why? Where are the beautiful dresses and gowns. I see a lot of stuff that shouldn't be in this tribute store, like the Belted Camo Blouse , the Stud Rock Denim and the Bow Valentino Dress.

And why on earth do they ruin beautiful dresses by attaching belts to them? (e.g. Classic Valentino Dress , Stud Cashmere Dress , Valentino Red Jumpsuit).

Of course not everything is bad, there are some pieces that are great, especially the shoes.

This is how I styled them :
