Rio New Collection

A new collection of Rio was released earlier today. The prices range from 5 to 18 stardollars and there are three starcoins items ranging from 46 to 140. I don't want to exaggerate, but this collection is by far my favourite of the last months (maybe year). The Rio store has been really stepping up the game. Both, this collection and the previous one (here) were very good.

The highlights of the collection : 

First thing I got my hands on was the "Bianca Headscarf" which I loved from the moment I saw the spoilers and I was pleasantly surprised to see it's price, only 46 starcoins. The "Sharp Cape Blazer", in both colors, is amazing as well, very structured and modern. The "Calista Breeze Skirt" has great graphics and it's the most interesting piece (and I guess it will be the top seller too) of this collection. I liked the "Copa Gems Necklace", I find the whole colored gems trend very interesting. The "Copa Wrap Dress" , the most expensive of the collection, has a very flattering neckline and a flattering shape in general, I only wish it was a different color..

I could make so many different outfits with this collection, but due to lack of time I only made one..

I'm wearing:

Calista Breeze Skirt, Rio
Sharp White Cape Blazer, Rio
Clean Cut Shirt, Nelly.com (Cheap Monday)

Callie's Picks Issue No.11 : Artpop

The theme of this week's release is "ArtPop". The prices range from 7 to 25 stardollars and there are seven starcoins items, ranging from 48 to 150 starcoins.This collection is filled with crazy patterns and bright colors. Since I'm not into colorful clothes, I had a hard time finding clothes that were appealing to me. However in this burst of color there are some pieces worth buying.

The "Picasso Pony Heels", 23 stardollars, (originally from Nickolas Kirkwood) are quirky yet wearable.The "Fringed Gloves", 8 stardollars, (originally from Frankie Morello tribute) I had them already. I use them a lot layered under coats or long sleevd tops. They add just a little bit of fun in an outfit. The "Stacked Cuffs", 56 starcoins, (originally from ELLE), are not something special, but they are very cheap. I imagine wearing the "Sequin Skirt", 13 stardollars, in a glam rock outfit with a pair of combat boots and a structured jacket. And last but definitely not least, the "Dress Ispired By Alexander McQueen", 16 stardollars, (originally from Voile) is the wow piece of the collection. Even though it does not fit well on the legs, for 16 stardollars it's a total bargain.
I'm wearing :

Picasso Pony Heels, Callie's Picks

Fringed Gloves, Callie's Picks

White Floral Dress, Bonjour Bisou

Hot Buys Valentine Jacket, It Girls

Frou Frou Skirt, It Girls (layered under jacket)

PPQ New Collection

Two new floors were added yesterday on PPQ. This collection has mostly black dresses with a few colored pieces. It's inspired by the Autumn/Winter 2013 Collection. The prices range from 8 to 32 stardollars.

I was really impressed by the accessories. I mean, can we take a minute to admire how extremely beautiful is the "PPQ Gaucho Hat" (10 stardollars)?

The "PPQ Long Earrings" (5 stardollars) and the "Tangerine Chiffon Scarf" (8 stardollars) were my other purchases.

As for the clothes, I was not thrilled. I like the "Marabu Peplum Top" (20 stardollars) and the top of the "PPQ Peplum Gown" (26 stardollars). I wish the gown was two pieces so I could buy the top part..

Here is the the whole collection :

I spotted two dolls wearing some of the new items. BelleJolie used the "PPQ Gaucho Hat" and the "Velvet Keyhole Jumpsuit" (28 stardollars) in a vintage inspired outfit. She looks like she came right out of a classic movie.  Flor_14 wore the hat and the "PPQ Court Shoes" in a total black, very chic outfit. These shoes are very difficult to style but she incorporate them very well in her outfit.
