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.

My Style : Covered Up

At last, Autumn has arrived in my country and I can't be more happy about that! I can finally enjoy the small joys of cold weather, drinking hot tea, wearing cardigans and walk everywhere without sweating :P I was so happy that I changed my doll's outfit, something I haven't done in the last three weeks... I got to wear a few things that I bought from the latest releases, such as the "Velvet Laces Boots" from the MSW'14 store (review here) and the "Tres En Vogue Sweatshirt" from Nelly (review here). I'm also wearing the "Siri Bag" from the second part of Nelly. I haven't written a review yet for the new floor and I'll probably won't, since it wasn't very impressive compared to the first part.

(I'm trying to figure out a new way to post my outfits, but I'm not there yet, so please excuse me for the massive letters...)
