A new superstars/royalty only shop has arrived today. Before I start my review I have to say that the name of the store just doesn't feel right, there is something in this term that bugs me. Plus it doesn't say anything about the identity of the store (which is not very clear yet) , it only emphasizes the exclusivity of it.
The store offers fashion and decor items. Generally I don't care for interior releases, since I don't buy decor items unless I'm making a new room (which rarely happens), but this time I made an exception and got a few of the "Ceiling Hangers". It's a great way to display clothes, minimal and modern.
Overall I got plenty of clothes and accessories. The quality of the graphics is very good, in the majority of the items, just take a look at the "Red Patent Leather Handbag". I was also impressed with the "Rock n Roll Skirt". Stardoll isn't really good at making fringe, but this one is spectacular. The movement and assymetry makes it look realistic. My favourite part of the collection is the "Tartan Maxi Shirt". It's an interesting silhouette, one we don't see often on Stardoll and the transparency offers many styling options. Then there is this amazing slouchy sweater, the "White Fall Sweater" which I can't resist. I love the rolled up sleeves, the cozy turtleneck and the texture. The "Rock n Roll Bag" barely made it to my shopping cart, since the gold details are ruining  it for me, but the overall design was quite interesting so I decided to give it a try. As for the "Golden Chocker", I do love chockers, especially those priced in starcoins, so it was an instant buy. And of course I couldn't left the store without at least one impulse purchase, the "Styled Leather Jacket". I have a soft spot for thrown over the shoulders jackets so I bought it immediately, but on further thought the price is very high and the fit is awkard.

My Style : Equestrian

I'm wearing : HotBuys Posed Fall Look, It Girls | Ruffled Pocket Pant, Bonjour Bisou | Armor Dress, Fallen Angel | Black Crop Top, Original Future | Ann Buckle Skirt, Fallen Angel | Pirate Boots, Special Offer ||

I am guilty of buying the new and overpriced Hot Buys cape! I don't know what Stardoll was thinking when pricing this item, because the 68 stardollars price tag is plain crazy and totally unjustified. It's not a limited nor a tribute item, neither is part of the Strike a Pose store. It's just a regular, It Girls piece, for fashion's sake! I bought it without thinking and I kind of regret it now, because as someone stated on a club discussion, it's like encouranging Stardoll to continue with these prices. Furthermore is quite tricky to style. It would have been so much better for me if it was just a cape, without the white knit underneath, and that's what I tried to achieve with this look. I used the "Ann Buckle Skirt" from Fallen Angel (still available on Starplaza) to cover the missing part of the cape.

P.S. I got my foot sprained yesterday. That's what happens when you wear flatforms and you are rushing to arrive at the cinema before the movie starts (and it wasn't even a good movie at the end). Now I can't do anything other than sit on the couch. So don't be surprised if you see a few new posts coming up the following days.

Callie's Picks Issue No.26 : The Art Of Contrast

I'm wearing : Black Wrap Blazer Dress, Callie's Picks/Windows on the World | Armor Dress, Fallen Angel | Cropped Black Trousers, Decades | Armor Top, Fallen Angel (for the sleeves cuffs) | White Showpiece Beret, Callie's Picks/Voile | Velvet Laces Boots, MSW '14 | Lumiere Clutch, Royalty * | House Arrest Cuff Left, Tingeling * ||

The theme of today's Callie's Picks is the old time classic black and white. In Callie's words : "Think about the queen of black and white elegance, mademoiselle Coco Chanel. She once said : Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony." And you can never doubt the words of Coco!

For me black and white is a statement, it's bold and powerful. I really can't write an objective review for this store, because I simply love the theme and I'm super happy that Stardoll took into consideration my suggestion :) (more on that here ). My picks are a whole lot, and many of the stuff I didn't include can also be easily incorporated in any outfit, one more advantage of black and white, the versatility.
Overall the store presentation is excellent and there is a male outfit as well which is a plus. There are a few starcoin items, mostly accessories. My "Must Have" of this collection is the "Black Wrap Blazer Dress", originally from Windows on the World. The price is a bit high but it's a strong piece that can be worn as a dress, as a coat or even as a top. I have styled it here, here and here. The collection also offers a good selection of accessories. The two hats, the "White Showpiece Beret" and the "Black Hat", were immediately added in my bag, but that's just me and my hat obsession. The "Stunning Falls Scarf" is another favourite piece of mine. I use it quite often whenever I want to add some movement to my outfit and it looks especially great combined with collared tops (styled here). My other picks are : the "Fishnet Dress", the "Inspired by De La Renta Jacket", the "Iman Black Top", the "Safety Strap Boots", the "Black Folds Belt" and the "White Two Pring Belt".

Antidote New Collection : Moschino

** I'm still here! From now on I promise I will have more time to be here :) **

So about the Antidote collection....Hmmm...Antidote has a very specific aesthetic, and this collection is just not there. The whole thing screams LE to me. Sparkles, gold and chains, it's the same Stardoll recipe over and over again. Worst piece of all? The "Sequin Sports Trousers" with the underwear showing off. Best part was the interior, but not when you are on a tight budget. Of course there is a lot of talent around Stardoll and it's no surprise that some medolls managed to make outstanding outfits with these pieces.
