J A N U A R Y 2 0 2 0 H O T B U Y S

I have to say, this month has been incredibly disappointing for Hotbuys - initially Stardoll didn't release anything, but said they were still happening, then 3 pieces were released but only available to those topping up ... eventually the rest were presented in a StarPlaza Window for us, but I really think charging real money for HB's is a major down-turning point for HB's, I'm sure the opposite of what staff were hoping. But let's get on and check out the pieces this month!

F I R S T I M P R E S S I O N S
So the first three pieces were available on the offer, luckily I'm not really loving any of them so I'm not overly mad about this, but would have still liked to try the Bag (name/store unknown) anyway as I really quite like the idea of the pink and green colour combination. I do quite like that the store front offered to us is pretty muted, the black and white tones are all ones which will work in a lot of different styles. 
The Circle Bodysuit (Vinyl, 28SD's) is pretty cool, I like the polo style and the really sharp style of the shoulders, but the pattern design is maybe a little too cool for me, I've not seen this worn at all, and I think I'd need a little inspiration to go for this one especially at the higher price point. I also quite like the cool floaty vibes of the Transparent Skirt (Voile, 28SD's), love the colour and pattern so much, but trying it on in the Plaza is a little disappointing as it doesn't fit the doll right at all, so I'm passing on this one. Thinking about accessories both the M Necklace Gold (Pearls, 16SD's) and the Platform Heel Black (Vinyl, 15SD's) are all over you guys, these are for sure the most popular pieces of the release! They seem to work in a lot of different styles and with a lot of other pieces, so at least something good has come out of this year! My love is for another accessory, the Brooch Heels (Pearls, 16SD's), these are pretty similar to a pair from Subcouture last year so I know it's a style I get on well with. Love the matte design with the chunky strap!

F E A T U R E S
Looking incredibly chic in this first look, Olfaktoria styling up both the M Necklace Gold and the Furry Handbag, but as a cute shoulder fur rather than a bag - that works out pretty nicely! It balances with the gloved well and the stripe works well with the amazing gown. The strapless style really lets the necklace be shown off in the look and I think overall all of the accessories have been perfectly picked!
Next up is Andre1396 also wearing the M Necklace Gold in a little more casual of a styling, it works in a lot of different styles for sure! This dress looks great layered with the sheer top, the necklace is a great topping to that against the casual style of the trainers. Also loving the use of this LV bag, it looks fab here^
And lastly, Jacquemus wearing the Platform Heel Black in a perfect dark Winter styling. The boots really stand out in the look, the slim style of the trousers and the rolled hem really work for that. Then the coat length helps add to this, and I like the balance of the structured shoulders with the chunky platforms. Also loving the strap design on the cross body bag, it adds such a great detailing to the outfit!

S T Y L I N G S
I just picked up one piece this time, which I think might be a first? Anyway, I really love the Brooch Heels a lot! The style of them is super pretty and I like the brooch design on them. I styled them up two ways but I think they're pretty versatile so there are a lot more options for them. First up super fitting with an all black style which lets the brooch pop in the look. I kept the standout details minimal, with small gold earrings and the small amount of gold on the bag - in fact I love the combination of the shoes with this bag, can't wait to repeat! For the second look I went on the other end of the colour scale choosing light tones, I think this beige actually works out great with the black! I added other black accessories and that balances out the dark colour really nicely. Each of the accessories also has other gold details on them, so I think they're great choices to pair with the shoes. I love this look a lot - it took a while for me to change out of it! So whilst I only bought one piece from the January HBs, I'm pretty happy with it =)

H O T B U Y S R E V I S I T E D | January 2019

Before we check out the January 2020 Hotbuys, it's time to look back at the January 2019 Hotbuys! This was a summery mix of pieces with some super cool styles included - I really loved this set last year, and it was something fresh to start the year with. I bought quite a lot of the pieces and haven't sold any in the Bazaar just yet. My most worn piece is the Cache Leather Bag which is the pretty chain white bag, it's such an easy one to slip into so many different styles. The Marni Inspired Pumps are a close second, I just find it so easy to wear white shoes! I definitely haven't worn the rest of the pieces as much as I could have, so today I'm styling up the Leather Coat and the Printed Skirt:
I'm so happy I gave these pieces a fresh chance, I love these looks! They work well together and they're definitely something light and fresh for the Winter season. For the first look I took on the pink-hue of the coat into the rest of the look and kept with something quite feminine, the pleating in this skirting is just so pretty and I think the colour works out perfectly. The boots are also a perfect match here, and the lighter blouse highlights the patterning on the coat. All white for the second styling, pairing this folding design of the skirt with a similar idea in the blouse, I really like that balance in the look and I don't so much mind the overall oversizing in this styling. I kept the accessories white too and I think the plain-ness of the base really lets the subtle pattern design on the skirt stand out. These looks have definitely made me think more about these two pieces!

T H E J E T S E T | Release Review

We got a brand new The JetSet release recently - an SS exclusive store which is one that always has some great stylish pieces. The advertising doesn't give anything away, but I like the Rome-vibes, so lets get on and check out the pieces!
Highlights The release is the usual one-floor and it's pretty stuffed, with 7 looks for females and 1 for guys. It's all pretty elegant, I really like this smart style - and there's a lot of colour too, smart doesn't have to be plain in colour! I think this is a very nice release =)
Accessories There is a small collection of accessories with a range of items. In the shoes I really like the look of the Sunny Pumps, a classic black patent heel with a slight pointed toe - a great basic style that will look awesome on everyone. There are 2 bags in the release, I really like the Scarf Bag. It's a super cute small piece with a croc design and a very nice stylish scarf handle - the black and gold chain print is a popular one in RL and it suits the colour of the bag. I love orange so this one is totally up my street! There's a couple of other pieces, the one that catches my eye are the Chain Earrings, with two golden hoops with a tortoiseshell hope in between, these look really great and very trendy, they're great on the doll too.
Clothing I love all of these midi/ankle lengths in the store, they're so attractive, at least to me anyway! There are two dresses, the Lace Orange Dress and Blue Satin Dress which I really like the look of for smart pieces - they're not dresses I see myself getting a lot of wear out of though. But love the lace sheer sleeving on the Orange piece, super pretty^ The Sequin Skirt in a dramatic red is a similar skirting style to the dresses, I like the design of the sequins here, it looks super fun for dressing up and would be cute in a Valentine's look if that's your thing. And in the same length are a pair of trousers, the Checked Trousers which I love! I have quite a few checked trousers, so it's a style I know I can wear. These are a culotte style, but aren't too wide fitting, I like the slighter slimmer fit, and the length really is very nice, great for layering with boots =) It also has a matching Checked Jacket, I'm not such a fan, it's a cropped length and quite a boxed cut. Lastly there are a couple of shirts to mention, both with bow detailing, the Photo Shirt, which is a black and white cropped piece that I'm not a fan of because the print looks very busy, but then the White Bow Blouse which I do really like. It's got quite an oversizing on the body, the bow really adds volume, but it's cropped to allow for a good tucked look^
Prices The release ranges from 7 to 26SD's, with just a couple of pieces at the higher end of the scale, so pretty reasonable prices. As it's The JetSet, the release is limited to SS (and Royalty) members only.
Styled Outfits I picked up a couple of pieces, and I'm pretty happy with everything I got. First up the Checked Trousers, which I styled exactly as I'd imagined, with slouched boots, these make a great pairing! I kept the rest of the look simple with black, and added a fun bag, this one is a great colour match to the trousers while still being a fun piece. Such an easy item to work with! Second up the Blue Shirt which is a super smart piece. I was a little doubtful about this once I started to find pieces to pair with it, it was a little tricky, but navy works nicely. I kept it very simple again, shoes to match trousers and bag to match the shirt - I really like the clutch in this look, so I'll definitely pair it with the shirt again! And finally pairing the Scarf Bag and Chain Earrings and I really couldn't resist going all out with a colour matched look - this pairing of HB's really is quite perfect for this set of accessories! I added the black belt to tie in a little more with both the bag and earrings, and overall I'm very happy with this orange styling!

Patterned in print

Looking very cool as always, a styling from frankieiz12 today! I love this dress a lot, I've worn it a couple of times, but always end up with it on its own as it's a tricky one to pair up with other pieces, so this look is perfect inspiration on how to wear it in a great way^ The layering of the two polos is fab, love the black cuffs against the pale, glittered patterning of the top piece, both are great fits with the dress. The black boots and bag add a street style vibe to the look, I love the inclusion of one of my favourite belts, and these sunglasses with the brown frame are a perfect finishing touch!

V E L V E T O R C H I D | Styled Outfits

The latest Velvet Orchid release had some super nice pieces included, like the design of the Open Hip Dress in a beautiful silk fabric and the Knot Pants in a fantastic red with a cool waist detail and a long wide leg design - but I just picked up one piece to try out this time, the Flared Long Sleeved Shirt. It's quite unlike anything else we've had in the plaza, I loved the ruffling down the front and the sheeny quality to the fabric.
I found this Shirt such a great piece to style, it goes with a lot of my favourite pairs of trousers, and the fit makes it an easy piece to wear tucked. And actually I love the colour on my doll, green can be a hit or miss and this one is a winner for sure. First up with these beige trousers, I like the balance of the blousoning in both pieces, I think it works well. Love the accessories in this look, these boots are a great colour match for the shirt, and they layer well with these trousers too. I found this cool bag in my wardrobe, having totally forgotten about it and I like the brown tone against the green for something quite different for me - I really like it! Then secondly one of my go-to pairs of trousers, I like the V waistline of these with the ruffles on the shirt, it works well with the dark tones too. I really like this super dark bag with the styling, it's not too clear against the jacket, but I'll repeat this sometime. And keeping things a little lighter I added these mixed colour booties from Off-White, I really love them here!

Shine in sparkle

I wish I could wear sparkles on the daily like in this styling from Mh91 - how cool! This dress has such a beautiful deep purple tone, it looks great with both the black and pale details on it, and those sparkles really pop out especially with the added black sleeves underneath and also the lacy insert underneath at the neckline - so creative and it fits together seamlessly! The black leather boots and bag make for the perfect accessories. Loving the jewellery and the beauty look too, everything is a match =D

I N S P I R E D B Y O F F W H I T E | Tribute Review

And our next Tribute of the season was Off-White, which has become a regular on the Tribute scene - not always my favourite, but I do always pick up a couple of pieces that I reach to quite regularly, so lets see if it's a good 'un! I really like the silver advertising for this one, looking super sleek!
Highlights The store is the usual two floors, it's focused on looks for the girls with just two for guys. The silver in the advertising does follow through into the clothing, but I really like the flashes of colour that are all over the store.
Accessories The shoes are what really catch my eye in the store, there's quite a lot to choose from with boots, heels and trainers! I spotted the boots first, both are ankle boots, the Checked Puffy Heel which are in a yellow and grey checked pattern and also the Spot Heel which have almost a tye-dye effect to their colouring which is in such a cool yellow-y/green. I really like both pairs, but I'm not 100% sure on their wearability. I've not seen many people try these out yet either. There are both sandals and traditional heels to choose from, I'm leaning towards the sandals, but all of the pairs have a classic 'tag' trademark that has been in Off-White shoes in the Plaza before. The Lacquered Heels come in both Red and White, with the white having a very cool square toe which really makes me attracted towards them. Both have a really nice look on the doll and will be great in Spring/Summer stylings.
Clothing For sure the clothing in the store is definitely quite different, a lot of things I don't go for myself but I know are popular, and I think everything does fit together quite well. There are quite a few dresses, but the mesh and gown stylings don't so much work for me - I do really like the Oversized Woven Dress though, it's in a beautiful orange silk and I really like the button up shirt style. I also quite like the Braided Details Dress for something more muted, it's in grey and is a highneck sleeveless midi piece, it looks super flattering on the doll too^ The Spotted Ragged Sweater also really catches my eye, I love the colour mix between the blue and the beige, it really looks great, and I quite like the style - my only dislike is the cold shoulder on one side, it's something which doesn't always work for me in stylings. So I'm still thinking about this one! The coats in the store are pretty out there in styles, they're for the brave people I'm sure! The Silver Puffy Jacket is a long puffer style piece, I've only seen it worn once (in the feature below) and it does look cool, but I'm still not sure it's for me. I am quite considering the Pink Arm Coat after spotting one of our features, I like the flash of the pink and red and the black outlining in the design, along with the cream base of the coat - I think it will make a good Spring piece.
Prices This release ranges from 10 to 30SD which I think it pretty average for Tribute releases. Nothing is SS or Royalty limited which is also good. The store will only be available for a short time more though!
Styled Outfits I focused on the accessories with this release. Firstly pairing the Glitter Clutch and the Laqcered White Strap Heels, I really loved the idea of a blue suit with this bag, sadly I don't have the perfect jacket but I adore these trousers with both of the pieces, the Bag pops and the Sandals really stand out with the square toe. I kept the look simple with a smart shirt, I really like the vibes of this one^ Secondly the Spot Heel, I don't think this is the best look for them, so I'm a little annoyed that I didn't try for longer with them, because I've since styled them in a couple of other looks and loved them! I liked the balance of this yellow sweater against the boots to hold the colour more in the styling, and these blue glasses for the colour in the boots too - I'll show them off better next time, promise! And finally the Lacquered Heels in such a typical 'me' styling. They looked so great with these floral trousers, the red flowers really stands out with the addition of the shoes and the bag and glasses, I love it^ I kept a super simple top because it's all about the bottom half in this styling =D

Features Next up for the features, some super fun stylings with this collection! Andre1396 looks great in the Oversized Woven Dress, I love the orange hue to the overall look, the fishnets look fab and the booties are everything^ The red bag is also very fitting with the colour palette and the gold hardwear works well with the hopped earrings, love it!
Secondly we have tara_1994 wearing the Furry Snow Heels and the Web Dress in a very cool and colourful styling! This is a piece that needs layering and this styling ticks all those boxes, I love it with this asymmetrical blazer-dress, the pieces work well to highlight the best parts of each, and the white and red pieces over the rest of the look are the perfect complements =D
Turkiye also styles the Web Dress, and includes the Silver Puffy Jacket and the Lacquered Heels - I love it! The white and silver look great together and I think both really manage to hold their own in the styling. I love the belt bag layering, the red is the perfect flash of colour to add. Also loving the sunglass and earring additions, these are perfect final touches^ 
And for the final look rob_sef7 styles up the Pink Arm Coat in this neutral styling and extra pink highlights^ Love the totally neutral silky base, looks great alone but is a perfect fit for this jacket. The pink accessories are a great touch, they're all quite small so they don't overwhelm anything, and I love the choices, these shoes are a great mix of colours and their inclusion makes me wanna wear mine right now!

A N T I D O T E | Release Review

Ok so another of a little delayed post, looking back to our most recent Antidote release! We had a pretty good chunk of time as warning for this one, so everyone was ready for it when it did come out. The advertising is pretty fun, I like the rainbow vibes on the street wall a lot^
Highlights The release has 2 floor with 7 looks for the girls and 3 for the guys. And boy was this release snapped up quick! It was popular for sure and a lot of pieces sold out very quickly, so I missed a couple of pieces I would have liked, but I'm still happy with what I did get. The style is very street, so pretty fitting for the Antidote brand, and looking individually, the pieces do cover a range of colours and styles, so likely a little something for everyone.
Accessories There are quite a few accessories in this release. I'm really drawn to the shoes, there's a pretty wide range of styles here. Boots are the focus, I really like the vibes of both the over knee pairs, the Over Knee Boots Square in navy with a cool white boxed pattern, and the Ornate High Boots which have a very cool studded detail all over them. I also love the Pattern Heels For Win with their orange-y animal-esque vibe to them, they look great and I was lucky to get them for sure! There are one pair of heels, the Make My Day Heels, I love these too, that pink colour is all kinds of fabulous, and if trainers are more your thing there are the Sneak Peak Shoe which are in a very nice neutral colour which I think works very nicely. Of the bags only one really caught my eye, the Green Bag Yes, I like the mixed green and black colouring on the base of a box bag, it's something pretty unique. There are also some jewellery pieces included, these aren't so much my thing, but I think the Royal Chain necklace does look beautiful, the gold and the ruby jewels are stunning together!
Clothing I would say overall the clothing isn't so much my thing - but I also missed out on a lot of it as it sold very quickly, I don't mind so much though. There are more casual vibes here than anything else, maybe except the Jacket Dress which is a pretty nice and classy piece, I like the belting and the jacket-side design a lot. The Off Shoulder Coat is in a similar style, it's an oversized trench coat in the classic beige tone - and I've been seeing it everywhere on dolls, so it sure is popular! It's a cool piece, it's not for me, but I love seeing all the different ways you guys have been wearing it. The Can I Reach Now sweater does catch my eye because it's cool bright orange colour. I like the oversizing to it, but I don't like the shredded hem so much. And the one piece I really did quite like and would have definitely bought, the High Waist Flarred Pants, which sold out super quick. These are in a beige check and are fitted at the waist with a very wide leg by the hem. Not always a style I wear, but one I love seeing, hopefully I'll be able to pick these up in the bazaar!
Prices This release ranges from 14 to 71SD's with most pieces being very affordable. The store as usual was a limited release, and available for SS only.
Styled Outfits I bought a few of the accessories and am very happy with my stylings, I'm really pleased with trying some different pieces than normal for me. First up the Pattern Heels For Win which I've really kept in a lowkey style, I love the black clothing base as the colour of the boots really pop out. I love choosing something different, so I was happy to pulls out this coat, I think it works pretty well with the boots even though not a perfect colour match. And then super simple black accessories to finish - I think it works out super well! Secondly the Make My Day Heels in a very contrasting and super bright styling, but I kinda love it so much! I was desperate to wear this LE shirt and the matching trousers since my LE wardrobe series back in December, sadly the trousers covered too much of the shoes, so I had to settle for one of my favourite pairs which are a perfect length for these shoes, I love the strap positioning on these a lot and that it's not an ankle one^ The colour is as stunning as I'd hoped, and I think it's a great fit with the print on this shirt, and of course I continued that with an almost matching bag, for sure a dreamy combination! And finally the Green Bag Yes which is back in a little more of a minimal outfit - the black in the bag makes it easy to wear with black, which for sure helps the slight mis-matching of the colours of the bag and trousers, but I think it works out well enough that I want to wear the combination again. I even added some earrings to work out with the little gold details on the bag =D

Features Of course for the features now, this has seemed a pretty popular collection with you guys! This look is from GirlEwelina wearing the High Waist Flarred Pants and Sneak Peak Shoes. I think the look is made super classy with this furry stole piece, the earrings, and the long leather gloves, they seem an odd choice but they look great in the outfit! I like the belt added to define the waist and I think the bag is a very fitting choice, love it^
In this second styling Lula.Osorio goes all in for the orange with the Can I Reach Now sweater and the Pattern Heels For Win booties, I love it! I'm a huge orange fan but I'm not sure I could pull off a look like this^ The boots look great, and you can still tell the pattern even while mostly covered by the trousers. This is such a great look for the Spring or Autumn, a great transitional outfit =) 
And for the final look, Mia1435 wearing the Over Knee Boots Square and the Checked Waist Bag again in a very nice navy and black combination. The boots are perfectly poised to pop in the look with the split in the navy skirting of the dress used, I love that^ And the navy coat with the wide open style helps too. Love the use of the black leather shirt, I think it's a perfect choice here for sure!

Velveteen sheen

Tis the season for sparkles - --kayley gets it totally right! I love the layering look of this skirt, the sparkled mesh piece is super cool and really stands out against the black long skirting beneath it, and I like the little slit on the one leg too. The velvet puffa jacket is a super fun addition and I think the deep green colour is perfect with the sparkles. Also loving pairing the velvet bag in here, the colour is also an unexpectedly good match, and I adore these boots, fabulous in this outfit!

H O L I D A Y C A L E N D A R | Styled By You / / Styled By Me

Apologies as this post is coming to you a little late - we enjoyed a Holiday Calendar for the month of December and it was pretty mixed in decor and clothing. For me it's not been the best calendar, but there were a couple of winning pieces included. But first up, some features! MissDark1990 styles the Flared Pants in this super smart styling. I'm really liking the combination of the beige with the grey, I think it looks great and is definitely a unique colour pairing. The white trimming looks fab too and I love the detail added in the brooch on the collar, the pearl earring and the bag - the accessories totally make this one!
Next up Millaxx has gone with the Shoulder Bag in a very fitting look with a perfectly matching sweater^ The bag pops really well against this tan checked blazer, the colour definitely works out nicely and the gold metalwork on the bag really do well in the styling. Love the black trousers and gloves added to tie into the strap of the bag. The sheeny boots are also very cool, they're a different choice for this outfit, but one that actually works out well!
And the final feature, spongep styling the Green Jacket in this very snug looking outfit. The clothing underneath is super minimal, but the off-white colouring really works perfectly with the green tone of the piece. I'm loving everything about the accessories in this styling, so much love for seeing these boots being styled up, really perfect in this look, and the golden earrings are stunning^
And now for my stylings, firstly apologies for having the GOM note on here, I was clearly having a mental block when putting together my looks! But I did pick up quite a few pieces. First up the BF Leather Pants which I thought were a very nice fit and style for the Winter season. They layer up really nicely with a lot of different coats and sweaters, this open one works out well to still show off a lot of the trousers. I kept my look pretty simple as leather and leopard print is a lot in one go, but I'm loving this dinky bag and the sunglasses addition =) Secondly the Shoulder Bag, which I didn't really mean to also style with this green polo, but doesn't it just look awesome?! These smart black trousers give a nice vibe to the look and then I kept the fun with the gold booties, which really help the bag stand out! And finally the Flared Pants and the Natural Pearl Earrings in a super simple neutral look. The teddy coat adds a fun and cosy touch to the styling, but this is one which could be worn with a lot of different outerwear to work all year round for sure.

Dear denim

Ok, some more brown tones, but a little less today, from ajenkam, who always looks awesome! I love this skirt a lot, and never thought of it with denim, it's so cool, very current and looking great^ I like that the Valentino belt is still used and it works well with the rest of the gold added in the look from the jewellery and the bag. The jacket is a great fit with the furry collar, the colour is a nice fit with the skirt, and the shoes too, they match the jacket well and I think the open toe style is a very nice addition =D

I N S P I R E D B Y B A L E N C I A G A | Tribute Review

Time for another Tribute store - Balenciaga! It was a bit of a surprise, we were all expecting a different release based on what spoilers had been shown, but this is something fun to have too^
Highlights The release is 2 floors, and has a pretty good mix of male and female looks, with the split at 5 for guys and 6 for the girls - there's also a variety of pieces for the guys, it's not just the same old thing again. I would say that this isn't my favourite Balenciaga release, it's just not quite my preferred style.
Accessories There is a definite lack of accessories in the release, with only shoes! That's a little disappointing, but I'm quite happy with the shoes that there are. The Pointy Low Heels come in both Black and Blue, I really like the style of these, there's a pointed toe, very cute fringed details and the heel height is a very nice one. I also really like the Geo Stripe Heel which are an ankle boot - I adore the square toe on these, I think it looks great and it's flattering on the doll.
Clothing There is quite a focus on dresses in this release, with three to choose from really in very different styles - I love the idea of the Confetti Silver Dress, there's something cool about wearing all that silver, and I really like the loose straight fit of it on the doll, but I'm really not sure how often I would actually wear it. I also really like the Onepiece Turtleneck Long of course because it's navy, I like the knitted design but on it's own I think it's not the most flattering dress, it needs some accessories and additions for sure! I very much gravitate towards the yellow and love both the Big Collar Blouse and Overlapping Pattern Skirt which are in such a beautiful colour^ The Blouse has such a cool design, I love the collar style and the voluminous sleeves along with the fitted waist, and the Skirt is such a sweet piece, I can see it working in so many Spring/Summer looks. And in complete contrast I was also drawn to a dark styling, the pairing of the V Flounce Shirt which has the crazy head-wrapping collar and the Suit Trousers Female. Love the colour of these, it's not super dark, but a very nice deep grey/navy shade that's almost black - I'm not sure I'd get so much wear out of the Shirt, but the Trousers I can definitely do, they're straight legged and not so long so you can show off some shoes with them!
Prices This release ranges from 13 to 36SD's which is pretty much average for a Tribute store. Nothing is SS or Royalty limited, so that is pretty good too.
Styled Outfits I found the pieces very easy to style, which is great - first up the Big Collar Blouse which I knew would work so well with these burnt orange trousers, love the vibe of this pairing, it's a little retro^ I kept the accessories simple and I think this works as a bright year round styling. Second up pairing the Suit Trousers Female and the Geo Stripe Heel, I really love this outfit! Super simple, but I think the pieces stand out well against the solid black of the other clothing items in the styling. I love this bag in the styling because I think the colour goes well with the shoes - I think my doll just looks super classy in this outfit, if it weren't so dark I'd be wearing it regularly all year! And finally the Pointy Black Low Heel paired with an older Balenciaga piece, another super simple outfit, but I think it's an effective one. I love the shoes with this slightly cropped length of the trouser, it shows them off very nicely. The rest of the look is kept simple as I think any additional colours or patterns would draw attention away from the piece. I think these will be an easy pair of shoes to style up in the future!
Features And a few features to share, these are all so cool, everyone is looking great in this collection! First up is turkiye styling the Denim Lined Mens Jacket, which a lot of people have been choosing - I just loved the masculine style paired with the intricate floral print. The colours look great together too, and they're definitely nicely contrasted with the bold green of the bag and the neon of the other accessories^
Then Jacquemus looks super cosy in the Oversized Collar Coat - this is pulling off oversizing to perfection^ The colour is a great fit with the printing on these older-style Balenciaga booties, these pieces are great together. The white trousers add a nice lightness to the styling, and I love the cool frilling added to them hem, so creative and something that will work in many different looks!
And for the final styling, Mia1435 in a very dark dramatic styling featuring the Onepiece Turtleneck Long layered up with leather pieces. I love the navy and black combination, it's one of my favourites and this look does it so well! Love the belting pieces added, they really give a good shape and split to the styling. Also loving those fish-bone earrings and the piercing makeup styling^
