How to Style : Mixed Prints

I don't feel like there is a wrong way to mix prints. If you decide to wear two different patterns just go for it and enjoy it! Be daring and have fun with it, that's what is all about. Or you can be more discreet and like me go for the more toned down prints.

How to Style : The Oversized Sweater

Autumn is right around the corner, for the northern hemisphere at least. It's my favourite time of the year, since you can still go out with bare legs but you can also layer a sweater over your top. There is this feeling when you are wearing an oversized sweater, it makes you feel cozy and comfy, which no other piece of clothing can beat. It's the perfect solution when you are bored to get dressed or not in the mood for fancy clothing. You can style it up or down with the right accessories and create a day to night look.
For the Stardoll styling I went with two casual looks and a more fancy one. As you can see the accessorizing is very simple, since the sweaters alone are kind of statement pieces, so I didn't want to end up with oveloaded outfits.
P.S.Stardoll, please NEVER fix the resize glitch :P

How to Style : Long Coat

We are in the middle of summer (at least in the northern hemisphere), the temperature here is almost 40 degrees and it's that time of the year when I start dreaming of cold weather, coats, sweaters and many layers! I just want this torture called summer to end :/ This situation made me remember the request sindiralle has made some days ago for a long coat "How to Style it" post. So here we are :)
The thing with coats and jackets is that you can't wear them in many different ways since they cover up a large part of your outfit (if not entirely). So accessorizing is important!

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.

How to Style : The Visible Bra

We see it everywhere, bras showing under see through tops and peeking out of shirts. It's definitely a trend that has a lot of fans but at the same time is difficult to pull it off. There is a thin line that if you cross,  you may end up looking a little "too naked". You have to keep it classy, so if you are going to wear a sheer top, keep the rest of the outfit modest.

Wearing this trend on Stardoll is much easier, since we don't have to deal with practicality or comfort. And there is a vide variety of bras/bikini tops in starplaza in many colours and patterns to choose from. In the picture you can see a selection from Riviera, Basics, Velvet Orchid and Wild Candy.

How to Style : The Lace Up Sandals

The lace up sandals are one of the biggest trends the last couple of years. They can be flat, high heeled, knee high, printed, you name it. Nothings says confident and sexy better than those statement sandals. They are very easy to wear, they nearly fit with every outfit.. I created two different looks, one with my beloved "Gianni White Gladiators" and the other with the "Pink Strappy MSW Heels".

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.

How to Style : Leather Jacket

A few words : The leather jacket is a fashion staple. It has become popular around 40s and 50s and it's still a must have piece for every wardrobe. It is not only a useful piece that will keep us warm during winter months but it's also stylish and versatile. Nowadays leather jackets can be worn from day to night and can complement any outfit, even a very feminine one.

How to Style : Androgynous

Let me introduce you my new column : "How to style". Each post will be about a current fashion trend and how to recreate it on Stardoll. For this first post I chose the "Androgynous" style.

A few words : Androgynous can be described as a combination of masculine and feminine style. An androgynous outfit often consists of tailored clothes, suits, buttoned up shirts, oxfords shoes and structured purses.  Pixie cuts or slicked-back pony tails and bold brows complete the look. Accessories like a hat or a watch add a nice touch.

How to style it :

I'm wearing : Black Pants , 8 stardollars , Bonjour Bisou / Alexia Jacket , 15 stardollars , It Girls / Short Sleeved Blouse , 50 starcoins , It Girls / Black Silver Buckle Belt , 43 starcoins , Voile / Black Asymmetrical Top , 38 starcoins , Basics / Basic Black Denim Skirt , 45 starcoins , Basic / Black Shearling Bag , 7 stardollars , It Girls / Iris Shoes , 9 stardollars , Nelly.com / Pearl Tear Earrings , 8 stardollars , PPQ

Colors : Black and white is a classic combination. If you want to add color keep it simple, don't use more that three colors.

Shoes : The pointy heels add femininity to the outfit, without making it girly. Brogues, loafers or ankle boots work equally well.

Accessories : If you prefer to tuck the shirt into your pants, then a belt is needed. Choose one in the same color as your pants. A bowler hat can be added as well.

Bag : Go for a simple, structured bag. The attention is on your outfit, so the bag must supplement it and not overshadow it.

Jewellery : Choose wisely your jewellery. Wear a pair of earrings or a chunky necklace under your shirt collar. 

Make Up : Bold brows and nude lips are a must have. Create shadows and angles with the blush. For the eyes you can either keep it clean with black eyeliner or make a smokey eye (black or brown).
