Yesterday we were given a new floor of SubCouture, and as per the previous releases from this store, it won't be around long! Just 2 days - so if you think you might want something, you better make a move on it now before it's gone! I actually thought that we hadn't had the last collection that long ago but then I checked my posts, turns out it was released in MARCH! How did that happen =O I honestly thought it was like a month or maybe 2 ago, but not like 4/5! Right now I feel like life is passing me by too quickly =/ Now SubCouture has never been one of my favourite stores, I quite liked the last collection, but really wasn't a fan of the one before - for me this one isn't really the best and isn't something I'd run to like a crazy lady! But on with the review =)
It's quite a nice collection filled with pretty gowns (which was very much expected to be honest) and costs from 7 to 35 SD's, which I think are good prices {the last collection ranged from c.10-30SD's} and I think the high fashion and designer based clothing really makes a lot of the users happy! It makes no difference to me whether it's designer inspired or not - if I like something, I'll buy it, and if I don't then I don't - quite simple really! There's a good range of styles present among all of the items with variety in shoe style and also the gowns, although most are quite short so for me I doubt I'd wear very many of them. The two maxi dresses are actually pretty nice, although not everyday pieces which I really look for, but I think the Ombre Grecian Dress will be a very popular one around Stardoll for the next few weeks! I've seen a lot of people fawn over the jackets, particularly the Death Metal Jacket, but I much prefer the Chromatic Jacket - for me it's the slightly more versatile and easy to style piece:
A piece that I surprisingly woke up today and knew I had to buy, were the Oyster Faux Croc Shorts - I don't know what came over me, but I suddenly decided I really liked them and wanted to give styling them a go - so that might come later! The headpieces for the collection were quite interesting too, I like the Camo Veil Headpiece - it's a little quirky but also screams high fashion, my only problem (and probably others' problem too) is that it doesn't sit ontop of the wigs in the Plaza so I can't tell if I'll love it and wear it or not - so that might be a very last minute purchase for me while I think about it!
Overall I don't think it's that bad of a collection, although if I were choosing pieces I doubt I'd choose any of the ones chosen, but hey, that's another story!
So now some featured looks of members I've seen wearing the pieces so far:
Hope you enjoyed this post - please comment comment comment because it very much feels like I'm writing to no-one!!!
Nice! I personally like the Spike Taffeta Dress. :)
ReplyDeleteI love those dresses...
ReplyDeleteLovely review, and thank you for featuring me! Even though I went for the Death Metal Jacket on this one, it was all about the Chromatic Jacket for me too. I think it marries luxury and casual together very well.
ReplyDeleteI loved this collection, my favourite item has to be the platform combat boots, I adore them and teamed them with the death metal jacket and some shorts by ADI19 to create a quite punky look. I also like the chains couture bag, though I'm yet to style it.
ReplyDeleteThis collection is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI liked the same intems as you. Just a question: What top did you use on your 2nd look with the Chromatic Jacket?
ReplyDeleteI used the BASICS "Basic White Short Top" costing 40Coins which can be found on the 4th page of the BASICS store in the Plaza =)
