Millionaire Mansion Fashion New Collection

After the Millionaire Mansion decor collection which was released a few days back, we now have a new fahion collection. The store has two floors and the prices range from 6 to 20 stardollars and there are four starcoins items ranging from 63 to 98 starcoins. Overall the collection is quite indifferent except a few pieces. My picks are the "Raffia Sunhat", 93 starcoins, the "Shining Star Blouse", 17 stardollars (too expensive...), the "Silver Threaded Full Skirt", 14 stardollars and the "Swiss Watch", 6 stardollars (not included in the picture below).

Callie's Picks Issue No.14 : Punk Princess

This week's Callie's Picks was released earlier today and the theme is "Punk Princess". The store has two floors and the prices range from 4 to 30 stardollars and there are six starcoins items with their prices ranging from 62 to 168 starcoins.

The name might be a bit cheesy but the idea behind this issue is very catchy. I believe that mixing hard and soft pieces could result to a very interesting outfit! In Callie's words : "Don't be afraid to stand out ladies! Bring your edgy and girly extremes out in the same look, and dance like noone is watching."

It seems that with every release the store is getting better and better. This collection had a lot of amazing pieces, many Mortal Kiss items, old Hot Buys and some tributes (mostly Frankie Morello).

My picks are :

 "Amazing Breeze Skirt", originally sold at Tingeling in 2012 (same collection as the "Balcony Gate Jacket"). I had my eye on this one for a couple of months but it was quite expensive to buy in Starbazaar so I'm very happy to finally have a chance to buy it for 15 stardollars.

"Silk Tassle Band Jacket", originally sold at Bonjour Bisou, it was a Hot Buy from 2010 under the name of "Hot Buys Bisou Jacket". Correct me if I'm wrong but this is a very wanted item and I never saw it on bazaar from under 600 stardollars. It's a beautiful piece, with stunning details, slightly expensive but totally woth it.

"Metal Head One Piece", originally sold at Frankie Morello tribute in 2012. I adore the graphics on this one and I can use it a lot as a layering piece, like in the outfit below.

"Industrial Necklace", originally sold at Voile in around 2009-2010. In my eyes it looks more like very complicated collar clips than a necklace. It has many different elements and that makes it unique. It can be worn as a statement piece with a black shirt and pants or over a jacket.

"Flowy Feather Headdress", originally from Mortal Kiss. I already have this one and it's one of my favourites from my hat collection. It is difficult to style in a casual outfit, but it can complete a fantasy inspired or high fashion outfit very well.

I followed the theme of punk princess and created this outfit. I want to give credit to gd4e who came up with the idea of layering these two skirts. As you can see I used the studded bodysuit as shoulder pads but I already found many different ways to wear it, so you'll probably see it again in the future. I used the lace dress from the previous Callie's Picks collection as my romantic/soft piece to balance the harshness of the chains and spikes.

I'm wearing:

Silk Tassle Band Jacket, Callie's Picks/Bonjour Bisou

Amazing Breeze Skirt, Callie's Picks/Tingeling

Metal Head One Piece, Callie's Picks/Frankie Morello

Long Vestal Skirt, Other World

Short Bridal Dress, Callie's Picks/Anna Sui Tribute

Left and Right Chain Shoulder Pad, Archive

Stud Wrap Boots, Fallen Angel

Heavyweight Black Platforms, Fallen Angel *

May Hot Buys

The May Hot Buys were revealed and here they are. This collection has many different style and clothes. There is some sparkle and gold as always. I'm pretty sure the "Hot Buys Hibiscus Dress" will be very popular. However my favourites are the "Hot Buys Teardrop Perfecto" and the "Hot Buys Head Scarf Tote". But you can never be sure until you see the price and try them on.. Do you like them? What are you thinking of buying? Real version of the Head Scarf Tote from Michael Kors

Original Future and Pretty n' Love New Collections

Hello! I'm back from my easter vacations and ready for more posts :)
We got a lot of new stuff during the easter week. The easter pass was released and there is an egg hunt running from 17 to 23 of April with secret gifts.

Moreover we got two new collections, one for Original Future and the other for Pretty n' Love.

The first one had sports clothing and gymwear. I pretty sure the best selling piece of this collection was the "After Gym Shirt", for 13 stardollars. My pick from this collection is the "Net See Through Dress", for 13 stardollars, even though it looks more like a top to me. Overall I'm not into gymwear style so this collection was not my cup of tea.
On the other hand the Pretty n' Love collection had some very interesting pieces, and more specifically accessories. The "Bring Me Flowers Tote", for the fair price of 8 stardollars, and the two pairs of "Spring Sandals", 7 stardollars,  were just on time for some spring outfits.

I spotted two dolls wearing the flowers bag and the sandals. melissa00984 has styled the "White Spring Sandals" with a pastel sweater and a transparent skirt. Summerlol3 has kept it minimal with a Miss Sixty black dress paired with the "Bring Me Flowers Tote" and the "White Spring Sandals".

My style : Sports Luxe

I'm sorry for not writing for so long. Honestly nothing exiting happened to Stardoll these days and I'm on my easter vacations so I kind of took a break from writing posts too :P

I wanted to wear my new stardesign earrings, and since they are neon yellow I went for a black and white outfit.

I'm wearing :

Pune Blouse, Film Theory

Barely Mint Trousers, Voile

Open Black Cape, Pet a Porter

Preppy Sweater, Mr *

Limited Edition New Collection

The spring collection of LE has just been released. The prices range from 30 to 260 stardollars, with the most expensive item beeing the "Baroque Flounce Dress". The two interiors are also available to buy for 75 stardollars.

After seeing this collection I realised that LE is not my style at all. I always get carried away by the enthusiasm there is in the Stardoll community before every release. So I end up buying a few pieces but I later regret it. It seems that LE collections always have quite a bit of gold details, the clothes are bold and often overembellished and the color pallete is usually a mix of bright colors, purple and black. This collection wasn't an exception. Of course there are pieces that stand out from the rest, like the "Laguna Check Skirt" for 62 stardollars and the "Alex Hardcase Handbag" for 45 stardollars, but there are just a few of them. What are your thoughts on this collection? Have you bought anything?

How to Style : The Midi Skirt

A skirt can be considered midi when the length falls somewhere between below the knee to the ankle. It has made a comeback the last couple of years and became very popular thanks to it's femininity and vintage feeling.  There is a variety of midi skirts to choose from like pencil, a line, full, with pleats.

Callie's Picks Issue No.13 : Spring Whites

This week's Callie's Picks was released earlier today and the theme was "Spring Whites".
The store has one floor and the prices range from 5 to 24 stardollars and there are five staroins items with their prices ranging from 68 to 130 starcoins

I really like that the latest collections are in the spring mood. I always pull out my white clothes around springtime when the days become pleasantly hot and sunny. In Callie's words "The happy season calls for a clean state in our wardrobes, where the crispest of whites maximize on the growing brightness and give you and uber-classic and polished look".
However, the collection itself wasn't, in my opinion, the best so far. It would be perfect a spring white blazer and pants just to see something different from the mini cute dresses. Of course as always there were items I liked. My picks are the "Silk Shirt" for 13 stardollars, the "White Chanel Inspired Purse" for 15 stardollars, the "White Silk Flounce Skirt" for 13 stardollars and the "Short Bridal Dress" for 22 stardollars.

Now, here is my outfit inspired from this collection. I see white as a classy and chic color. A white suit is as timeless and classy as the black suit but more appropriate for this time of the year. Furthermore it's feminine and polished.

   

I'm wearing :

Silk Shirt, Callie's Picks

Roaring White Trousers, Decades

Sharp White Cape Blazer, Rio

Button Down Blouse, Pretty n' Love

White Chanel Inspired Purse, Callie's Picks (originally from Chanel Tribute)

Decades Last Chance

Decades store is closing down for good and this is your last chance to buy what you like in half price. Decades is one of the oldest stardoll stores, it's been on Stardoll for many years with it's amazing vintage clothes, and it's a pity we see it go but I hope a new improved one will replace it!

Be sure to take a look! There are some classic pieces, that you don't want to miss, like the amazing Coco Chanel hat and pumps.
Update: The store will be available until Tuesday morning 

Here are my favourite items from the store:

Ink'd New Store

A tattoo and piercing studio has landed on Stardoll yesterday. The prices range from 2 to 13 stardollars and there are four starcoins items, ranging from 40 to 48 starcoins. The interior and the display case are available to buy too.The store has mostly colored tattoos in a wide range of styles and designs and of course a few different piercings. In this post I'll only focus on the tattoos.

Most of the tattoos go to the suite, which is convenient, and a few of the smaller ones in the beauty parlor. I quite enjoyed this collection since I was bored of the same old Evil Panda sleeve tattoos. The "Cat In A Hat Tat" was my absolutely favourite, and as a crazy cat lady it got me so excited that I got two of them. Then there were the "Dreamcatcher Leg Tattoo", which I find it a tad too big but still cute, and the "Wild Wolf Shoulder Tattoo", which was the best, design-wise, of the collection.
