Voile New Collection

I'm wearing : Midnight Taffeta Skirt, Voile | Beaded Leaf Ball Skirt, Voile | Shoulder Slung Moto Jkt, Evil Panda | Minimalist Alexander Heels, Bonjour Bisou | Raffia Sunhat, Millionaire Mansion Fashion | Random silver bracelets from Fallen Angel, Evil Panda, Tingeling | Winged Godess Earring, Voile

So the new Voile collection..The MSW contest is probably coming in the next few days hence the many new formalwear releases.  But, I can't complaint, since I have found many stuff I like in this one! Many of the dresses are the usual stardoll releases, pink fit and flare mini dresses, bustiers and mermaid skirts (although I must admit that I'm pretty tempted to buy the "Midnight Taffeta Skirt") , nothing new and unexpected. 

However there were some unique and beautiful pieces, one of them beeing the "Herrera Gown". It's not the typical black gown, the neckline, the sleeves and the long slit at the front make a difference. It might not be versatile but it's a stand out piece on its own. 

The "Beaded Leaf Ball Skirt" on the other hand is a piece that can be worn in many ways. I love this off white color and the different layers of transparency. You can't really see it in the plaza dressing room since it almost blends with the background, it looks much better in a darker room. 

The "Bronze Clutch" has two pros, it's priced in starcoins and it looks very realistic. I'm not a big fan of brown accessories but the red details and the design of this one made me make an exception. 

There are two pieces that I bought that I'm not sure of them, the "Beaded Couture Tee" and the "Metal Fringe Belt". I'm planning on wearing them together, using the belt as a necklace. I find the top to be a little flat looking, but I'm in lack of white tops and this was a good option. 

And last but definitely not least, my favourite thing of the collection, the "Winged Godess Earring". I'm all into ear cuffs and this is a very good alternative. I like that it's not that small and you can see it in your suite and I also like the price! You can also buy two of them and make them a pair ( I did :P )

I threw on a very quick outfit, and I was happy to see that these two pieces make a pretty good match.

Thanks to Stardoll's Most Wanted for the designers of the real life versions.

P.S. I can't get enough of this jacket...

Changes

I changed the header of the blog. It's now easier to find the different collumns without having to scroll all the way down and search through the labels. If you click different parts of the image you'll get to visit different categories.

Do you like it? I'm not sure yet how I feel about it. It definitely is more practical but maybe it's a bit overwhelming? I 'd love to hear your opinion..

Plaza Must Haves : Black And White Edition

There are some items in my wardrobe that are key pieces. When I'm feeling uninspired or is one of those "I have nothing to wear" days, I turn to them and they never fail me. They can be well combined together or can supplement other pieces as well. You can still find all of them in Starplaza, some are from older releases while others are relatively new. So be sure to check them out because you don't know how long they will still  be available to buy :)

My Style : Metal Hair

It's wierd how inspiration comes at the most random times. I was trying since yesterday to style the "Chiffon Rhinestone Collar" from Callie's Picks, but the result was unsatisfying. I always ended up looking like a flamengo dancer, which is not bad but not I was aiming for... I wanted also to wear the "Runway Shoulder Bag". Nothing seemed to work until for some reason I started pilling things on my head :P Maybe it was frustration that led me to do that, but I quickly realised that this was the missing part of my outfit! So now I have a very dangerous spiked bun on top of my head, along with a snake skin purse and ruffled sleeves :P

I'm wearing : Armor Top, Fallen Angel * | Mudd Smocked Strapless Denim Romper, Kohl's * | Chiffon Rhinestone Collar, Mortal Kiss/Callie's Picks | Linen Boater Top, It Girls | Cropped Black Trousers, Decades | Runway Shoulder Bag, Royalty | Minimalist Alexander Heels, Bonjour Bisou | Kurt Sunglasses, Royalty | Random silver bracelets from Fallen Angel, Evil Panda, Tingeling

Callie's Picks Issue No. 22 : 1 Of A Kinds

I don't have much to say about this collection. I have heard around Stardoll that there are some rare and wanted items in this issue and I indeed indentify some Mortal Kiss and older Hot Buys. However my view on one-of-a-kind clothing is much, much different that what I see in this collection. I can see how some of them can be considered as unique but the rest of them looks like ordinary clothes to me, especially with the way they styled them.  This time I won't post my picks, since I'm still undecided if I want to buy those items or not. So I'll just post the highlights of the collection, pieces that stood out from the rest and according to your bugdet might worth buying. The "Chiffon Rhinestone Collar", originally from Mortal Kiss is a stunning piece you can use in many ways.To add volume to a skirt, create a peplum for a top or with a bit of resizing create ruffled sleeves! The "Coco Top" was actually the first piece that draw my attention and wanted to buy until I saw the price tag :O Why charge 25 stardollars for a plain top? I understand that you pay to get the Chanel logo, but not that much. However the top itself is a cute piece, that can look great in a sports luxe outfit. And lastly there is the "Versace Inspired Space Dress", also from Mortal Kiss. The geometric pattern and the shiny material are interesting, but the color and the fitting of the dress are not very appealing.
