Callie's Picks Issue No.10 : Belle Of The Ball

The new collection of Callie's Picks was released yesterday. The theme was "Belle of the Ball" and it's Carnival inspired. The store has nine different costumes (one of each is for guys) and the prices range from 4 to 22 stardollars and from 52 to 84 starcoins. 

Even though there are not many items in starcoins, the stardollar items are quite reasonably priced. Stardoll seems to heard the members complains and started selling the pieces in their original prices.

I liked quite a few pieces from this collection. My picks are :

-The "Beaded Dress Inspired By McQueen", 22 stardollars : It's beautiful and it's inspired by Alexander McQueen, need I say more?

-The "Black No Heel Shoe Tights", 13 stardollars : I already had them (from Windows on the World) and I'm wearing them quite often. It's one of my favourite piece of clothing in my wardrobe.

-The "Embroidered Bell Sleeve Coat", 16 stardollars :  I had this one too, it's was from Tingeling. I like the kimono sleeves and the graphics.

-The "Forest Fairy Hair", 6 stardollars : I liked the pastel, faded color of this one and for 6 stardollars it's quite a bargain. 

-The "Metal Onesie", 11 stardollars : Yeah, I 'm wierd and I like this.

Strike A Pose New Store

The store that many members wanted is finally here. Strike a Pose is a store with different poses for legs and hands. The store was only for superstars and it was limited. The prices range from 20 to 175 stardollars and the interior is also available for 100 stardollars.

I have to admit that this store got me super excited. I love the clean color palette and the loose shapes, there is an elegant feeling in this collection that many of the latest store releases are missing. It looks that Stardoll put effort and time in making it and I'm sure these will be some of the most wanted items in the future. 

My picks are :
1."Weaving Coat Pose" , 55 stardollars : This one was the first thing I put in my cart without even thinking. The black and white contrast and the beautiful shading caught my attention.

2."Street Style Blazer" , 40 stardollars : I still haven't tried that on my doll since it's glitchy and when I click it, instead of it the "Street Style Scarf" appears.

3."New York Blazer Denim" , 55 stardollars : I'll be completely honest, I got this one only for the hanging blazer. I don't wear jeans in Stardoll nor in real life, I find them extremely boring. It would be so much better with a pair of tailored pants, but they were selling out pretty fast so I had to act fast and not think about it for too long.

4."Strike a Pose Skirt" , 45 stardollars : I have mixed feelings for this one. The pose and color of the leg looks awkward, but I thought I could manage to cover that somehow, and the skirt is very pretty alone.

How to Style : Flounce Skirt

A few words : Flounce skirts appeared on the runway on 2013 and the trend has become very popular the last year. There is nothing not to love about this trend, a flouncy skirt can make any outfit interesting with a flirty touch.

In this post I'll show you how I styled three different flounce skirts, the "Satin Flounce Skirt" from Pretty n' Love, the "Corolla Skirt" from Voile Holiday Boutique and the "Twister Skirt" from Other World. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Featured Suite : kianagf

I was voting on the Vote today when I stumbled upon a photo of kianagf . I was so impressed by the brilliant idea she had. I like to see dolls on Stardoll who think out of the ordinary, like this girl who didn't spend a fortune to create an overload room. Instead she used a few common items to create a magical scene. It reminds of Alice in Wonderland, not only because of the teapot but because of the insanity and nonsense there is.
