Outfit Of The Day #3

Original Future Static Blouse - 9sd
Apres Ski Iced Over Long Skirt - 13sd
Miss XV Girls Heels - 57sc


I went for a slightly more grunge look today, generally because I wanted to try outfits that would work with my lipstick (probably the darkest I've went for ever) and I came up with this.
I really like this look, the shirt is something I was clueless as to how to style it but I think it worked well.

What do you think of this look?

Callie's Picks #8 - Red Carpet Ready

Today brought a new Callie's Picks issue, this one red carpet themed.

There were quite a few great pieces but many people share the concern as to why Stardoll rereleased items still in Starplaza and why the prices are so inflated.
The main issue was the Angelina Dress.
In Callie's Picks the dress bore a rather hefty price tag of 28sd. While the original is still in Starplaza, in Voile, for a mere 8sd.
And another, the Forest Fairy dress. Once given as a freebie, now priced at 24sd in the new rereleases.

While it's clear that a lot of items are simply ridiculously priced, there are some great pieces and a few I'd definitely purchase myself.
Here are my favourite items out of the collection.

Did you like this issue? Or do you just hate Callie's Picks altogether?

Outfit Of The Day #2

Archive Printed Scarf - 7sd
Bonjour Bizou Nolita Moto Jacket - 14sd
IT Girls Paris Tee - 9sd
LE Crotchet Jeans - 65sd
Nelly Iris Shoes - 9sd
Today I opted for a more summery look, wearing pretty basic clothes with a colourful patterned scarf to brighten the outfit up.
I'm in love with this look!
I just bought the scarf and was looking for an outfit to wear it in and I chose this.
I added the jacket because I felt it was lacking something like it and it's not actually summer yet so it would be unrealistic to wear an outfit with no sleeves.
I'm quite happy I've finally found a way to wear the top too, despite it's simplicity it's been tricky to style as the knot seems to get in the way.

What do you think? Like it? Hate it?

1 Item - 5 Looks

The Bonjour Bizou Stretch Jeans (currently 50sc in Starplaza) are, in my opinion, an essential item to have in your closet.
They're very versatile, as most skinny jeans are, and can be styled into a lot of different looks, ranging from casual to formal.
Here are 5 ways you can wear them!

Look One - Wrapping Up Warm

Look Two - Out For The Night

Look Three - Staying At Home

Look Four - Out In The Sun

Look Five - At The Office

Outfit Of The Day #1

LE Lily Stars Scarf - 40sd
Bonjour Bizou Boyfriend Jacket - 7sd
Basics White T Shirt - 40sc
Bonjour Bizou Stretch Jeans - 50sc
LE Black Carryall Tote - 65sd
IT Girls Striped Socks - 30sc
Callie's Picks Black Pleather Platforms - 20sd
Today I went for a warm, casual outfit to match today's rather miserable weather. I wanted to use either the scarf or bag and I ended up going for both but I'm not completely sure if the bag works in this outfit.

For the makeup I kept it simple. I would've changed the lipstick but it works quite well with the lilac of the scarf and the fuchsia lining of the bag.

What do you think about today's choice of clothing?

Limited Edition Review

Today brought a brand new collection of Limited Edition. Probably one of the most anticipated yet.

As soon as the first spoiler was released, hundreds fled to Underneath Stardoll to wait for the collection.
The popular blog reached just under 700 online visitors at it's peak and for a short time it went down because so many people were online.
The Disqus comments were buzzing and people were going mad waiting.

It took around 6 hours after the last spoiler Stardoll posted to get the spoilers for the collection.
And when they arrived, there were mixed feelings.
Many, including myself, loved the collection and couldn't wait for Stardoll to release it.
Others were disappointed and annoyed they had waited so long.
And after that, it didn't take long for the latest collection of Limited Edition to grace Starplaza.
For a while the store itself still said 'Coming Soon' but the items were available to buy and they were going quick.

So, let's get onto the review.

Some pieces were inspired by the Atelier Versace Fall 2013 couture collection, including the Swiss Dots Dress that was shown on a spoiler, but we're unsure what inspired the other items.
Many of the pieces were quite casual, while others had more of a dressy feel to them.
What appear to be the main colours of the collection were blue and pink and I honestly think it worked quite well.
This collection definitely beats the previous one, which wasn't really up to standard, and I hope Stardoll can keep up the good work.

I only bought three items the 'LE Crotchet Jeans', 'Lily Stars Scarf' and the 'LE Black Carryall Tote'.
These are all items that, upon seeing the spoilers, I knew I wanted.

The jeans are an obvious choice. They're quite simple but the 'crotchet' bit adds a nice touch.

I chose the scarf because I am a massive scarf lover. This one was probably better than it's fuchsia sister as I think it's more toned down. I'm more likely to wear lilac in an outfit than a brighter colour.

I loved the bag as soon as I saw it, I love how you can see it has stuff in it. In a similar scenario as the scarf, I chose the black version as I wasn't keen on the blue one and it is, of course, easier to style a black bag.

I was lucky enough to get my items within 5 minutes of them being released, if I hadn't, I doubt I would've been able to get them.

What are your opinions on the collection? Love it? Hate it?

February Hotbuys

While waiting for the spoilers of LE to arrive, Stardoll dropped the February Hotbuys spoiler.
Clearly Valentine's Day inspired I'm pleasantly surprised.


The first to arrive will be the Epiphany Heart Necklace which will be released on the 1st of February.

I'm having mixed feelings about these Hotbuys.
At first glance they seem amazing, considering the standard of recent Hotbuys, but they could very easily go wrong.
For example, the It Girls Heart Shirt, while it may look completely fabulous on the spoiler, it has the potential for disaster, the worst scenario being it not fitting well on your medoll or being unflattering.
Let's just hope that Stardoll can pull them off.

What are your opinions on next month's Hotbuys? Love them? Hate them? Comment below.
