How to Style : Mr. Clothes

Who said that a girl can't wear boys clothes! Inspired from the latest Mr. collection, I searched my wardrobe for my favourite men's clothing and accessories to present you in this How to Style post. 

The problem with the boys clothes are the wide shoulders and of course the position of the legs. So if you can cover those problematic areas you can achieve a perfect look. In the men's section, the prices are better (more starcoins items) and you can find amazing button ups and logo shirts.

Competition : Downton Abbey

It's time for the first blog competition! I have been watching Downton Abbey non stop this past week and I got really into the whole 20s vibe. So your challenge is to create a Downton Abbey inspired look. If you haven't watched the show (which I strongly recommend you do), there are plenty of images on google.

The rules : 

- You can dress up your doll or mine (here), or create the outfit in Starplaza.

- You must be a follower of this blog and have a disqus account. Guests are not allowed to enter.

- Your picture must be clear. If you create your outfit in suite use the full screen mode to print screen, if you create it in Starplaza you can use the zoom feature your browser has.

- Photo editing is not allowed

- Post the picture on the comments section, not the link.

- You can submit your entries until Friday, 13 June.
- If there are less than five valid entries, the contest will be extended for one more week.

The prize will be 50 stardollars or wishlist gifts worth up to that ammount if the entries are more than five. Otherwise the prize will be 20 stardollars.

You can use anything you want, stardesign creations, suite items etc. I'm looking for creativity! Also don't forget the accessories :) Gloves, hats and jewellery are a very important part of the 20s look, so pay attention to them.

P.s. If you dress up my doll, you can find my accessories in my closet and in the two Alpine Chalet suites. My hair and make up will stay the same during these two weeks, i choose a style that I believe fits with the theme.

CONTEST CLOSED!
Winner is Green_Eye_Angel ! Congratulations :)

Rio New Collection

I'm wearing : Chiffon Train Top, Rio | Ankle Shackles Pants, Subcouture | Everyday Long Blazer, It Girls * | Bracelet Clutch, Callie's 

Picks/Bonjour Bisou/Archive | Stacy Cap * | Bow Visor, Riviera

This week Stardoll released a new collection of Rio. It's now official, Rio is my favourite store. A few years ago I would have never imagined saying such a thing, with all the gold and sparkly clothes Rio used to have. However during this last year the store is starting to take a different direction and even though some of the animal prints and sequins remain, there are several pieces that really stand out!

In this collection the one piece that caught my attention immediately was the "Chiffon Train Top", a piece with an original design and great graphics. And for 13 stardollars, it was a great purchase!
My other picks are the "Silver Paulista Stilettos", a pair of delicate, stunning heels, the "White Drape Blazer", because a white jacket is always a must have, and last but not least the "Red Fringe Purse". Red is not the color I usually go for, but I was impressed with the fringes movement. I can't express my self better but I feel that the fringes add a vividness to the bag.
