Jewels of THE JETSET

Ok, so while The JetSet release the other week wasn't so much appealing to me, the previous few releases have had some fabulous sparkle and I've been saving them up to style in a fun set of looks, finally getting to that! First up the Layered Emerald Necklace, Hermes Crystal Mini Bag and Crystal Cage Top - all silver, all super easy to pair together. With the neckline of the top it really needs a necklace, and the length of this piece is just perfect. To make sure the top really got a focus in the look I knew I didn't want to layer ontop of it, so this was such a fun idea by layering under it with a super similar dress and I really love it. I further added some silver trousers too and I think the effect works really nicely. Also, perfect earrings for the necklace, and not even from the same collection! Next is the Floral Mini Dress which is such a cute piece, love the silver and pink together and I think the green of the flower stems really pops - I did try to find some matching green to include in the look but nothing was quite the right shade, so I'll be on the lookout in the Plaza^ Anyway, this pink polo was my first thought for this dress to make it Winter-ready and I love the combination. Choosing other additions was easy, balancing the light and pink together, the pink boots and white tights are super cute, and I love the accessories I've chosen, complementary to the clothes but super stand out. Then in a mixed metals look, the White Sequin Top and Hermes Gold Mini Bag and actually I really love these together, the gold additions almost make this top look like it has a gold sheen to it! To keep the metals the main feature I kept simple with the white base and it totally works perfectly, I really love it^ Chose a mix of gold and silver for the rest of the accessory additions, I'm really loving this necklace with the top especially =)

Next is the Gucci Sequinned Blazer and I love this print so much, so fun to work with and just makes me want to wear Gucci all day long^ With this sage green trim I was very keen to add that to the look and I was so happy to find this pair of trousers in my collection because the colour is perfect. This sparkly bag was a perfect match to the base colour of the blazer and looks great with the green. Kept the rest of the look simple and I think it works well, I really love this outfit for me^ And then of course, I also got the Gucci Sequinned Pants and styled separately to highlight the versatility of the print, I adore this look! And I couldn't resist wearing the same bag because it looked so good in the first styling. Without a green trim there were plenty of options for adding colours to them and I love this basic option with black and beige, I really think it works well and brings out the print in the trousers. Lots of sparkly additions here! And the final look, the Crystal Drop Earrings and Sequin Midi Skirt, such a fun look and totally ready for Summer with that orange =D I did try and go for an all orange styling, but something wasn't quite right for it and it wasn't working the best for highlighting the skirt, in the end I took it back to simplicity - I kept the orange bag because I just love it, and then went for silver and white additions in the rest of the look. It's simple but for sure effective.

R U N W A Y | Styled Outfits

December brought us a brand new RUNWAY release and I really was impressed by this one, quite a few bits to choose from and some fantastic styles. Not too much extravagance or out there design, but really pieces that can be worn, which I very much do appreciate.

First up I have the Sheer Tulle Chanel Jacket and Metallic Silver Earrings - now I am still thinking about the matching pants for this jacket because I do really like the look as a whole, I'm just not completely sure how they will style separately so for the moment I've not got them, but the jacket styles separately really well! With both black and white on the piece it's easy to pair neutral toned pieces, I stuck with a white base and added some small touches of black in the accessories. These earrings have a bit of black in them so they paired well. Overall simple but sleek^ Next is the Grey Wool Sweater a dressier version of a casual piece due to the more structured shoulder design which I think really is what sells it to me. The slimmer fit on the waist is perfect for a tucked-in look and I knew I wanted to contrast the square shoulders with a slim fit on the bottom half. These black leopard print trousers are such a fun piece and I love them with the sweater! The accessories were easy to add after the clothing, adding simple designer pieces to really pop against the more basic clothing options. Such a nice Autumn/Winter look that I'll be repeating =) And thirdly here is the White Feather Crop Top, what a fun piece! For me it looks more silver than white so I kept the silver throughout the look in the accessories, it really works well with so many different accessory items. This blue skirt with silver details seemed like a fun addition with the fringe detail as well, and I think the darker colour really helps the look to stand out and pull attention!

With the next set of looks it's more focused on the outerwear. First here we have the Prada Brown Fur Coat and Prada Brown Leather Boots, a beautiful pairing and one I know I'll be coming back to. I did find the length of the coat quite tricky to work with in terms of finding a skirt or trousers to pair with it and in the right colour and that's something I'll definitely continue to work on. For this look I opted for an illusion skirt and these brown tights were really perfect with the colours of the pieces. Kept a brown base with a simple top, and then on to accessorising. I agonised about which bag to pick for ages, in the end I opted for something paler and thought to let it have a little moment with those sparkles. I do think it works, but I think there's a dream bag for this coat out there somewhere! But in the meantime I like this one, and actually it's such a cute piece that I for sure need to wear it more too. And finally, the Open Fur Coat and I had so much fun with this one^ With the lighter fur on the collar I knew I wanted to include some beige tones here, and these gem'd up trousers were the perfect fitting option for a fun look. They're so statement that I kept the rest of the additions simple, with black shoes, top and glasses to really keep the fur and trousers as a focal point. The final addition of this bag is super cute, love this little piece in here and I think the colour is perfect for the beige. For sure not a typical choice against black but I really like it and think it works out well for a look that I love =D

L I M I T E D E D I T I O N #56 | Styled Outfits

After my review, now for my looks with the brand new LE56! Absolutely loved this release and felt super inspired by it for looks. I really love all the outfits I put together with the pieces and already can't wait to style them up again^

First up the Fendi Leather Baloon Top and Brown Skirt, which I did try to style separately but I really do love them together. I wanted to make sure the details of the top stood out so decided not to layer on top, but to make it a Winter styling layered with a polo beneath. The beige colour gave me the idea for the boots and then the rest of the look was born - nothing super attention grabbing, but everything just fits nicely to complement the style and colour of the pieces. For sure these pieces will be great in the Autumn. Next are the Aviator Burgundy Sunglasses and Fendi Quilted Leather Bag, which are so great together. I knew I wanted to wear this belt and jacket pairing with the bag when I saw it and I just really love it^ Kept it simple with more burgundy accessories, and with the gold buckle on the belt I knew gold would be perfect for a skirt, I think this is super fun with all the pleats against the sheen on the jacket and the quilting on the bag =)

Next up are two looks with white trousers. First are the White Cuffed Pants, a super simple piece but so beautiful in style and design. I loved these jewelled black pointed heels with the trousers and knew I had to style a look around that pairing, the pearls and jewelled pieces were easy to pick out and I really love this outfit, I think the beige of the trousers really stands out against the black in the other pieces and had so much fun pairing silver with that. Something a bit different for me but I love it a lot! Then are the Sphere Gold Earrings and Orange Furry Chanel Sweater in an absolute stunner of a look, so proud of this one^ I felt there were pearl-vibes in the buttons so decided to look for more pearl pieces and these trousers were too fabulous to ignore! I stuck with fitting pieces in pearls and colours from the sweater, I think the little black touches are a perfect balance with the sweater. This might be my favourite look that I've styled in a while =)

Final set of looks, and first up Fendi Round Structured Bag, so much love for this pretty bag, such a stunning inclusion in the release and I'm so excited to have it in my collection. Loved pairing up this red and brown, a great colour pairing that I really haven't tried out before but I'm loving it^ Lots of red and brown pieces that work with the bag individually but I did find it a little tricky to get the right pieces together, but adore this combination - Autumn/Winter perfection. Second is the Velour Diamond Pattern Sweater which I just love but did find it a bit difficult to style because I don't really have much in the way of magenta in my wardrobe. However I did come up with a look that I do really like, pink on pink with a touch more pink! In the end I got darker pink accessories, this bag especially looks so cute with the sweater, these pieces were made to be together, and these glasses are pretty perfect too. And finally the Green Leather Belt Skirt, just an amazing piece that I can see in my wardrobe for years to come. I loved these shoes with the skirt, and their darker tone inspired my use of black and grey on the top half - I wanted to wear more green but nothing was quite the right shade, however I don't think I mind too much because I think the grey-black-green works pretty nicely. Had fun with the accessories, the earrings are a nice green touch and love the bag choice a lot too, what a fun piece =)

L I M I T E D E D I T I O N #56 | Release Review

Well this was a bit of a surprise, already we've got LE56 released, what a way to start the year! It really feels like the last release was very recent, it was only 3 months ago and it was a pretty solid drop that I'm still thinking about, now time to think about another one! Love the logo with the light shimmer and the misted green background, let's already get on and check out the release:

The release has 3 floors with a total of 18 looks, with several pieces available in both male and female fits. Overall I'm so impressed with this release, I love the mix of colours, fabrics and styles, it really does look like an amazing collection and it leaves me feeling inspired. I was sad to get to the release too late for a few of the items, but I'm happy with the pieces that I did pick up.

Accessories first. There are 4 designs of shoes and I do think they all look great in the collection, but this time I'm not picking any up. The Diesel Pocket Boots look fantastic but were sold out by the time I got to them, however they are quite similar in design to a few other pairs we've had recently, so I do think there are alternatives out there. The Burberry White and Green Brecon Pumps have a vintage feel to them and I am quite tempted by that orange trim, but not so much a style that I would wear often. For me, the bag offerings are much more successful, albeit there still aren't many. There are 4 to choose from and I just loved the Fendi Round Structured Bag as soon as I saw it! The round shape, size, handle length and the colours are just fantastic and I think it's pretty unique in style and design for the Plaza right now, plus it just looks super stylish. I also really like the Fendi Quilted Leather Bag, both the quilting and the burgundy colour are beautiful, I feel like this bag just is me all over^ We also have 4 pairs of sunglasses to choose from and interestingly these haven't sold out as I'm writing this post so maybe not as popular pieces of the release - I particularly like the Aviator Burgundy Sunglasses because they have a great colour and quite a unique design, really something different to the many pairs of sunglasses that I already have. And there are a small number of jewellery items as well. The Givenchy Pearl Fall Earrings and Necklace set is beautiful, gutted to have missed out on the earrings for sure, I think this duo will be fabulous styled up! I did manage to get the Sphere Gold Earrings though and these look super fun and another item that's very 'me' so I think I'll have a good time with these.

Onto the clothing. I have to say that normally there does feel like a theme of sorts on each floor, but this time I really don't see something like that - all I'm seeing is lots of pieces I like XD So the first floor: the first piece to catch my eye was the Orange Furry Chanel Sweater, I mean, what a piece! Such fabulous colours, I already had so many ideas for it on first glance. This fits the doll beautifully and has been designed incredibly well, such a great piece. I also really like the look of the Embroidered Grey Sweater, the crop is a really nice length on it along with the floral design, however it was sold out when I got there. The set of the Diamond Pattern Furry Turtleneck and White Cuffed Pants (available for both male and female dolls) is dreamy and I really fell for it when I saw it, the pieces are lovely together but so versatile and will work in many different styles with a lot of different colours - this is a set I'm for sure super excited about. On the second floor my eye immediately went to the magenta of the Velour Diamond Pattern Sweater and Shorts set, what a cute co-ord^ The set has a nice fit on the doll and I just adore the colour, I think that's gonna be a super fun one to style year-round and I have some fun ideas for it already. And I also love the other co-ord on the floor, the Fendi Leather Baloon Top and Brown Skirt, the pleated details are great along with the colour and the fit on the doll as well as the fun design elements especially on the top. These fell like classic designer pieces that my wardrobe needs!  The third and final floor is one I am a little sad about because I missed some great pieces from here: would have loved the Versace Ochre Pocket Sweater, looks amazing fit and such a great colour, and the Green Tucked Sweater, which is in such a beautiful jewel green tone and again the fit looks fab on the doll, but oh well, I'll be keeping an eye on the Bazaar once the collection becomes sellable XD But I did pick up the Green Leather Belt Skirt and I'm so happy with it, this is a great Autumn/Winter piece, the length is great and the colour is beautiful - while it looks fantastic in all green in the store, I do think it will work well with other colours too. One piece I'm still thinking about is the Yellow Fur Ferrari Jacket, there's still a lot of it left in the Plaza so I can think about it for a few days, but I'm just not sure - I think the fit is very nice on the doll, I love the colour a lot, and the fur texture is a fun touch, but there's something about it which I'm just not 100% about and I can't put my finger on it! Would love to see some stylings of this one to help me decide.

F E A T U R E S

First up is METAPHYSICAL who wears both the Reversed Structured Dress and Embroidered Grey Sweater layered together for a cute Winter-ready look. The dress for sure is the focus here, adding simply to it with accessories has worked nicely to really let that structure shine through. The black base of boots and gloves also makes the grey stand out, and I love the light bag here, perfect design and style for the look^

Next is Campestra who wear the set of the PiedDePoule Lace Top, Panties and Pants - of course the items naturally look good together but this styling is perfect for them^ Again with this look it's simple additions, but this furry coat just really looks amazing with the checked print of the trio, the orange pops beautifully. What works really nicely is the base colour accessories, going for black and grey rather than orange, I think that's a very nice touch =)

Fashion icon Sarah_1980 of course makes a whole look from the collection, wearing the Sphere Gold Earrings, Orange Furry Chanel Sweater, LE Black Belt, Green Leather Belt Skirt, Fendi Round Structured Bag and Diesel Pocket Boots - what perfection together! The skirt and sweater together really makes the black in the sweater stand out almost as green which I really like, and love the green with the reds and oranges. The accessories are perfect colours with the clothing, and I think the style of the belt and boots are both perfect with that of the skirt!

Super light and ready for Spring is Claudentia styling the Belted Striped Shirt Male and I just love the light and lilac tones throughout this, super cute^ The colour of the shirt fits perfectly with the panelling of skirt and I just love that so much, these pieces look like they were made for each other. The accessorising is perfectly complementary, the yellow scarf fits with the top skirt panel, and the socks and shoes in pale pink is great with the lilac - so genius!

Also styling up the Green Leather Belt Skirt is Mery.- and already these looks are showing the versatility of the piece, this is another perfect look with the piece. Love the mix of colours here, the light green and yellow make this look ready for Spring, while the dark overcoat and brown boots are Autumn perfection. Together I think it fits really nicely and overall the sheen of the skirt really stands out nicely and draws the attention in^

And last but certainly not least, is glamourousbit wearing the Tucked Layered Brown Shirt and MiuMiu Brown Socks in a very cute preppy look, I love all the layering work here! This is casual and ready for Spring^ The shirt colouring is perfect with the rest of the look, especially with the belt on the skirt and the leather black of the skirt itself too. This makes a perfect balance with the brown socks and the chunky loafers. The blue bag is such a fun touch and I really like that pop of a contrasting colour =)

Stardoll OOTM 2025 | Styled Outfits

A little resolution for 2026 - style the OOTM pieces as they come out! For 2025 I decided I'd just do one big post on the years releases at the end of the year, however I bought sooooo many pieces this year, we had some fantastic releases that I've totally been sat on. Now it's time to style them up - perhaps not all 37 items that I bought, but I'll make a good attempt to get through a lot of those:

First up the Grey Cashmere Sweater and Balmain Acrylic Bag, now for sure this sweater isn't something super out there or new in style or design but it's a classic and has a great fit on the doll. Grey is a colour I don't wear as much now, I just find it one of those colours a little harder to style but I did enjoy putting this look together and I think it's super cute! The collar really breaks up the colour and I love the fit of these loose trousers with the tighter style of the sweater. Accessorising was easy and I think the bag stands out nicely against the white, and added some fun sparkly heels and headband to complete the look, love this for me^ Next are a lot of pieces all in one, almost the whole look is from OOTM: the YSL Cateye Glasses, Double Shirt, Ys Chopped Square Bag and Marie Antoinette Pumps! These sunglasses are fantastic, beautiful style and I know they'll be a perfect addition to my collection. The shirt was super easy to style, with the white base and the black buttons, picking out matching pieces was quick, with the other OOTM items in front of me, lots of them work well with this piece. The shoulder bag design is fun to work with and I look forward to wearing it again, it might be a little restrictive on the size of the sleeve but I think it's a fun change to a handheld or crossbody piece. For the third look some of our more recent pieces, the Green Suede Purse and Green Dior Boots and I just love these items! Both are super stand out in our Plaza offerings and I really don't have anything hugely comparable to them, love the colour, design and fit on the doll of them. With the Dior of the boots I was keen to choose Dior in the rest of the outfit and I think I succeeded^ The layering of the yellow in the skirts is super fun with the green, not an exact colour match but I think it makes those accessories pop. Kept it simple on the top half and it really lets those accessories be highlighted.

Onto the second set and first here are the Jadior Chain Stack and Saint Laurent Bag, have to say I love the design of this bag so much, the slouched style just looks amazing. With the gold chain handle it was easy to also include one of the gold necklaces from the collection. I have just stuck with gold in the accessories but did try to get more gold in the look - I really need a fabulous pair of gold trousers! Anyway, this blouse with the specks of gold is a good option and keeps it classy. Next are the Layered Multi Chain, Posed Blazer and Brown Leather Purse together. I'm not so much into the posed pieces, but I wanted to give this one a go because I really liked the brown colour and the minimal style to the piece. With the brown gloves, I also knew I'd be able to style it as I have a lot of brown accessories. This look came together quickly and I did like styling the pose. All the additions are super simple and fitting with the style of the jacket, I really love this combination a lot. I'm especially loving this bag, to be honest I'd forgotten that I'd bought it and I haven't really seen it style but I think it looks fantastic, for sure will be wearing again this season! And thirdly here we have a pop of colour with the Gucci Red Glasses, Burgundy Gucci Bag and Versace Dark Red Platforms - we all know I can't resist red XD These pieces are super cute, and I know I'm not the biggest platform fan, but these looked great in the red and I wanted to give them a try. I knew I wanted to keep these accessories the focus so I didn't add any more red to the look, the navy is such a complementary colour and it really does it's job to let that red shine. This simple suit is perfect for a look idea like that^

And the final set of stylings, super contrasting to each other! First sparkly with the Bejeweled Tights and Versace Pink Slingbacks which are such a cute pairing, and honestly I had so many dresses out that looked great with these. In the end I decided to go all in with the glitter, this dress has a great colour-fit with the shoes and I have the perfect sparkly bag to add to it as well. Super simple but super fun! And last but not least, more on the cosy Winter casual vibes, the Vibskov Brown Shades, Embroidered Leather Jacket and Brown Prada Boots, such a fun look to put together. With the blue floral detail on the shoulder of the jacket my first thought was denim, so I was keen to wear jeans with it and love the tone of this pair with the jacket, think they're perfect! Balanced it out with brown accessories and I think these pieces all work really well with the clothing, honestly these boots in particular are a dream, beautiful design and they look fantastic on, I can tell I'll wear them a lot =D

G I F T - O - M E T E R | Styled Outfits

The Holiday Gift-O-Meter is here - spend up to 300SD in the Plaza and pick up some festive gifts along the way! With the release of Antidote this past weekend, my meter filled quickly and a lot of items landed in my Suite to style. I have to say I'm quite impressed with the pieces this year, sometimes there's been too much decor for me in the past, but this year there are plenty of clothes and accessories to work with:

First up are the Coral Earrings (80SD spend) and Tartan Trousers (120SD spend), and with a red tartan it has to be all out festive! This sweater was a great fit to really let the trousers be the red focus in the look and I balanced with additions in black plus a sweet red bag which I think works pretty well. These trousers have a really nice fit on the doll and I think will be brought out every Christmas season! Next the Coral Stone Necklace (80SD spend), Santa Baby Sweater (50SD spend) and Red Bow Purse (50SD spend), with the bow details on the sleeves, pairing the sweater and bag together had to be done, the necklace adds a little glam to the pairing. I did try out some red trousers and skirts, but nothing was quite right so I think I need another go at this one because I think this sweater has some up-styling potential! Did get all the red accessories in, these shoes are fabulous with the look I think^ Then we have the Green Snake Purse (80SD spend) and Dior Loafers (120SD spend) paired together for their gold detailing. They were a tricky accessory combination to style, I found a lot of pieces that looked great with one but not the other, in the end I think these green trousers are a pretty solid choice. Kept with gold for the accessories, love this belt and these glasses in the look and kept it a little dressy with this wide necklined top.

Next are the Cheetah Glitter Pants (50SD spend) which are such a fun piece, these will be great year-round for sure. I did try and add some more cheetah print to them but nothing was quite looking right, so they became the focus in a neutral styling but I do think this Fendi print on the bag is a pretty good fit^ The gold tone in these trousers is great for adding accessories and I think there's a lot of great options for these, definitely versatile-piece of this collection! And lastly, and the look that took longest to decide upon, the Diamond Layered Necklace (220SD spend) and Silver Cat Minidress (180SD spend). Very much like styling the minidress in my last post, I really wanted to make this piece work - just look at those sparkles, they are fabulous! I tried a few sweaters ontop to make the dress into a skirt but nothing worked out, this shirt really became such a genius piece, it's fitted yet has fabulous sleeves, really quite perfect for a fabulous dress! Simple accessories additions to finalise keeping with the white and silver and I really am so pleased with this one, something different for me but making it my own, if that makes any sense =D
