I N S P I R E D B Y S I M O N E R O C H A | Tribute Review

Our final Tribute of the season, and yet another new brand to the Plaza - it's Simone Rocha! This was another surprise, I didn't think we'd really get anything like this to the Plaza. At first thought, it's not so much my style and to be honest I wasn't really completely sure on it based on the advertising however the lacy fabrics sure caught my attention. Lets get into it:

Again, the release has 2 floors and this one has 18 looks with a number of pieces available for both male and female dolls. My first thoughts were certainly gone by the time I had looked through the store, while definitely some pieces aren't my thing at all, a lot of the items are super minimal with versatility so actually definitely a bit of something for everyone. Accessories: there are 8 pairs of shoes on offer and I have to say I'm really on the fence about these. I do think the styles suit the clothes in the release well, but for me they're just not styles I like or would wear. The best of the bunch are the Clear Embellished Pumps, simple but sparkly and certainly wearable in a range of outfits, but they didn't stand out to me because I have similar pairs from other Plaza releases, but the outfits below do look super cute with them^ There are 5 bags in the release, again a mix of styles and designs and I really quite like most of these. The Pearl Star Clutch really drew me in immediately, love a pearl bag and this has such a cute design, especially the strap gathered in the hand, I really like that touch. Also the Blue Pearl Bow Bag, this looks velvet in the body and I love the deep blue colour to it, then those pearls on the handle really stand out and I have visions for styling this piece already! Also on the blues is the Embellished Blue Rose Bag but in a lighter tone and I also really like this one, it has a small design with a long hanging strap and I really like that detail. In terms of other accessory items, there are several jewellery and jewelled pieces, I'm actually super impressed with these and bought quite a few^ The Red Ribbon Crystal Earrings and Crystal Pearl Ribbon Earrings are beautiful, simple yet stunning in design and they really pop on the doll, plus they've been super popular, I've already seen them styled many times. The Flower Green Crystal Earrings are also pretty and perhaps a little more wearable without the long ribbon to them, these look relatively neutral so will be a versatile pair. I also enjoyed the look of the Crystal Flower Pin which is a set of hair clips, now this will only work with certain hairstyles but they look super cute and I loved them on my doll as something a little different for me - hopefully I'll make some cute Spring stylings with them.

Now for the clothing. First floor: I was still a bit dubious about the release when I looked at the first floor, these outfits as wholes didn't really make me want to buy anything and I didn't really like the specific casual vibes that some of the pieces brought. However I did find a few items to like once I tried on items separately, there's definitely a few good ones in here. Really like the Embellished Denim Jacket here, it's got a nice fit on the doll with a cropped length and rolled sleeves, and I like the combination of the darker wash denim with the jewels, think this will be fun to wear. The Black Embellished Sheer Skirt is also very pretty, the black base isn't too dark and the embellishments are very sweet and I think it's a pretty versatile piece. Second floor: this is definitely a step better than the first floor and for sure the pinks catch my attention. Of course the glittery Sequinned Flowers Layered Dress gets my attention first, the pink is super pretty and I love the combination with the green flowers, such a nice pairing and I love the fit on the doll, those sleeves and ruffled layers are just fantastic! Keeping with flowers but perhaps something more minimal, there is also the Rose Blue Shirt which I think is really nice, great shirt fit with a longer length and I really like the floral detail design. Something super minimal and versatile that I really liked is the Black Embellished Sweater, so so simple yet stylish and a great fit on the doll, plus just a tiny jewel detail on the front which is a nice touch. Third floor: much like the second floor in terms of the vibes but even more lace and sheer fabrics. The Sheer Rose Dress is so pretty, love the volume and structure to the skirt as well as the scooped neckline. The White Lace Oversized Dress is also a nice piece with great volume to the skirting and the detail in the lace is great. The whole outfit of the Grey Polo Sweater, Sheer Embellished Lace Corset and Sheer Embellished Long Skirt is lovely but all of the pieces are quite minimal and versatile so will work in lots of different looks - I'm especially loving the sweater as I like the tighter fit as well as the buttoned up collar and cropped body with longer sleeves design. And the final piece to mention, the Sequinned Lace Top which is maybe a bit of a rogue piece for me to like but I think it was the all over silver that sold me and I think I can make it work for my style so I'm looking forward to giving it a go!

F E A T U R E S

Features in alphabetical order, so first up is Bianca.Vos with the White Lace Oversized Dress and Crystal Pearl Ribbon Earrings which are perfect together^ I love the layering with this look and the black lace pieces are fantastic with the white, they don't come across as too contrasting at all against the white. The tights also look great and the pointed mules are a great shoe choice. Simple but effective and perfect^

Second is fraternite wearing the Rose Blue Shirt and so much love for the additions here, they really add to the piece and almost completely make it something else, love it! The flowers added give a great contrast against the blue, and I love the use of these feathered bags as a trim for the top, super stand out. The red of the flowers added makes for a nice balance with the red trousers, the slouched style is fab, and they're also a little fuzzy which is great with the bag added too!

Next up is harpie in a super light ready for Spring/Summer look with the Crystal Pearl Ribbon Earrings, Sheer Embellished Lace Corset, Clear Lily Skirt and Clear Embellished Pumps. The pieces are great together and each piece does really stand out from the rest. This cutout skirt and the jewelled bralette were great base options, they highlight and complement the collection well and I think the waistline and hem of them are great especially with the corset, for sure that's a combination I won't forget =) 

Then we have mery.- who wears the Crystal Pearl Ribbon Earrings and Sheer Embellished Long Skirt and it was this look that convinced me to get those skirt too! I love the overall clothing combination, the lilac hue to the shirt is a great base there and the jewel overlay is fantastic and perfect to pair with the embellishments on the skirt. Accessories also great, especially the ring and bracelet choices, those really stand out so well!

Next is miloshki wearing the Sheer Embellished Lace Corset and really highlighting versatility in the piece. Extra jewels have been added which I think makes the piece pop well plus it ties in well with the off shoulder jacket colouring, really love that, plus the print colours on the skirt too^ Such a fun look with a renaissance vibe, it's very miloshki! Accessorising super fun, love the added contrast with the chunky laced boots and the light headscarf =)

A darker styling next from Riviere with the Sheer Rose Skirt and this one is *almost* making me want this skirt, it looks fantastic! The look is kept super simple and sleek with minimal additions keeping all that focus on the roses - the black body is perfect with the ruching against the sheer of the skirt and I love the sleekness added with the gloves. The pink shoes are a great choice, perfection with the roses plus their sheen^

And the final look comes from collection queen sarah_1980, wearing the Flower Green Crystal Earrings, White Lace Oversized Dress, Sheer Rose Dress, White Flower Embroidered Socks, Bouquet Clutch Bag and Nude Pointe Embellished Shoes - what can I say other than perfection! The pieces work together so well, I especially like the layering of the dresses, I think it makes for such a great feel and especially love the fullness of the skirting. Also adoring this loose up-do with the look, the beauty is perfect too =D

I N S P I R E D B Y F E R R A G A M O | Tribute Review

Next up is another brand new brand for the Tribute series, it's Ferragamo! For me this was quite unexpected because it's not really one I've seen a lot of hype over to get, but I'm exited nonetheless. From the advertising it looks exactly my thing with more minimal designs and neutral tones, plus heavy on the male looks which gives a great option, let's get into it:

As with the other releases, there are 3 floors here and a total of 15 looks with several pieces for male dolls only and several available for both male and female dolls. Following from the advert, the pieces really do have a more minimal neutral vibe to them but with distinct design elements that really make them stand out. Accessories: there are 7 pairs of shoes on offer in a range of styles which I quite like. My eye particularly goes to the Ferragamo Patent Leather Heels, super sleek and stylish and adore the slingback design. The Green and White Leather Sock Heels are also super cute little booties and the olive of the green really pops because I don't think we have much in a similar shade to this, so these are very tempting - I like this style of shoe for Autumn looks and think they will be great come next season. The Brown Patent Leather Pumps (and also their matching Red pair) are also a sleek shoe and the unique shape of the heel design definitely stands out. The neutral colour makes them versatile and they'll work in many ways. Onto bags, there are 6 to choose from and I think these really work well with the clothing of the collection. I was immediately drawn to both the Leather Cutout Bucket Bag and the Ferragamo Hug Brown Bag, love the dark brown colour on these so much plus the standout designs, the cutouts are great on the bucket bag, and overall I like the structure the bucket design has, in contrast love the slouch to the other bag, plus the red lining - such a pop! There aren't a huge amount of other accessories pieces in the release. The Transparent Brown Ferragamo Sunglasses are pretty nice, however I opted for the Black pair of these as I know this is a colour I'll wear more, plus priced in SC's! Also the Ferragamo Gold Crumpled Earrings, these have a super unique design to them and they look pretty good on the doll too.

Now onto the clothing, which I'll admit, I did go a little crazy for and bought a lot! First floor: it's neutral design but with splashes of great colour, it's hard to know where to look first with both the beautiful periwinkle blue and vibrant orange, love them both^ The Blue Sleek Jacket and Blue Cigarette Pants are such a pretty set, it's giving boss lady with fantastic colour and fit on the doll. The pieces are great together but are styles that I know will work well separately too and I think I'll get good wear from this jacket especially. The Orange Tied Shirt and Orange Pants are also great, and similarly will be good together and separately. These have a looser fit to the design, but I think the shirt design really stands out with the wide neckline, tight fit on the cropped waist and overall blouson feel - really excited to wear this one. On this floor the Sheer Printed Fringed Skirt also stands out, again has some great blue in it but love a midi style and both the printing and the fringing are standout design features that have really popped in outfits I've seen with it (see below!). The Brown Waistband Skirt is also a lovely piece, super neutral and easy to wear and I think the colours are really stunning on it. Second floor: after a fantastic first floor I did feel like this one fell a little flat for me. I do however love the Structured Brown Leather Coat, another great Autumnal piece which looks super fun, love the colour but also the pop of white from the lining, it's a bright standout touch and makes for good accessories options. The Black Oversized Jacket does have quite a nice design with the long length, deep V neck and tie design on the waist (although this comes separate, I like this touch) however it's not completely something I know I would wear much, however did like the Black Silk Pants, super minimal and versatile and really enjoying the loose design and fit to these. Third floor: for sure, luckily, the final floor picks up again, and the duo of the Striped Turtleneck in red and browns and the Structured Camel Skirt stood out, love these colour combinations and both pieces fit the doll beautifully. And again, great together but will be so fun to work with separately as well. The other reds on this floor also stand out, both the Cutout Red Structured Dress and Red Printed Skirt Dress really are great in design and colour and unique design for the Plaza. They're completely different in style but both equally great.

F E A T U R E S

First up is fergaysson wearing both the Neon Lace Cutout Dress and White Croc Leather Handbag, cute together and I like the contrasting colour, I think it really works well and both pieces pop nicely. What really stood out to me was the combination of the dress with the yellow socks and these fantastic block colour mules, so much love for this pairing. The bag also looks great with all the bag charms added, super cute and stylish and I think they fit well with the overall look and style^

Next up, fraternite styles up two of the Sheer Printed Fringed Skirt, along with the Neon Feather Handbag, in such a creative way, so great and I love it^ The skirt works surprisingly well as a top and I like the mirroring effect with the fringed detail. Also loving the yellow trim between the two, I think that makes a really nice split plus works well to bring the bag into the mix, which also balances well with the earrings, I love those! 

Then we have harpie who wears the Sheer Printed Fringed Top and I love the colours and print of the top with those on the skirt, so complementary to each other and I think it makes the green look super sleek and stylish. The accessorising is so spot on with this one, the yellow fringing on the shoulder is a perfect match with the strapped shoes and adore those earrings in there too, the little bag is a great green to balance with the skirt. Simple but so effective^

Penultimately, a styling from loveppears who has chosen the Brown Waistband Skirt and Ferragamo Hug Brown Bag and I love the contrast between the dark of the browns with the bright whites, it really makes the darker tones work for a Spring/Summer look. But also the structure of the bag goes great with that of the shirt, so they're such a good fit. Accessories are nice additions, as much as I don't typically love these chunky shoes, they're a great choice in this outfit and I love the necklace layering =)

Last but of course not least, vanderrohe wearing the Brown Waistband Skirt, Neon Feather Handbag and Red Patent Leather Pumps and I can't get over how well this jacket goes with the skirt, love it so much =D The little green layering underneath is a great fit with the green of the bag, and overall I really like the pops of the two colours with the browns, both the green and red are complementary to the brown and it works so well to highlight the pieces from the release. This is a great Autumn look!

I N S P I R E D B Y V A L E N T I N O | Tribute Review

Third up Tribute of the season, it's Valentino! A classic of a brand and one that we've had a couple of times before and I've loved previous releases so this one really made me excited to see what new pieces I could add to my collection. From first glance at the advertising I'm loving the ruffles, the colours and the accessories, so let's get in to the full collection:

As with the other releases, there are 3 floors in this collection with a total of 15 looks and several pieces available for both male and female dolls. I really have great first impressions of this one, there's a real mix of pieces, colours and styles so there truly is something for everyone here - I mean I kind of want to buy it all^ First up the accessories. There are 6 pairs of shoes to choose from, and of course the very classic Valentino White and Black Valentino Studded Heels which just look great, love the studs as always but bringing a fresh style with the square cut to the pointed toe - and both colours look great, I couldn't choose so I had to get both! The Black Bow Satin Heels are also a very nice choice, I love the mule style and the higher heel height is great. I really wanted to like the Valentino Knot Heels, I love the idea and I like the real ones, but something about them on my doll just isn't working for me and I can't quite figure out what's not right. Perhaps some great stylings from you guys can change my mind on them^ There are 7 bags in the release, again a mix of styles and colours, but all very classic Valentino with the 'V' logo and I really like that to tie the pieces together. The Brown Textured Leather Handbag was the first piece to get my attention, simply adore the dark brown patent leather, unique in the Plaza and it's got a great simple design that will work in many outfits. The Leopard Print Chain Bag is also very nice in design, but it does remind me of some other animal print pieces, but if you don't have any leopard in your collection, this is a solid choice. The Purple Leather Valentino Handbag is a bold choice, I really like the pillow-esque plush that it has and the purple colour is quite stand-out compared to other purple options that we have. For more minimal, then the White Valentino Minibag can't go wrong, super cute design and size is perfect, I can tell I will get plenty of wear from this one, especially with the little gold hardware touch. There are a number of other accessory pieces on offer too, particularly for those liking headwear - the Black Vlogo Signature Hat looks super stylish with an air of mystique and catches my eye. The Vlogo Black Leather Belt is a classic belt with an essential style for all wardrobes, I have a few similar, so don't need this one, but it's a great option. I did however pick up the Vlogo Gold Chain Belt, such a simple yet stylish piece, and we all know I love a gold accessory, haha^ The earrings in this release are all great - I especially like the Emerald Gold Statement Earrings and Gold V Crystal Earrings, these are so pretty and look fab on my doll, but I'm also super tempted by the Cherries Gold Earrings which are super fun and I think will make some great looks, I'm just lacking other cherry pieces to match them! Sunglasses are also fantastic, adore the cateye style in both the Brown and Green Cat Eye Valentino Sunglasses, look amazing on the doll and these colours are super fun, for sure I was lacking this green in my collection, plus they're priced in SC's!

Now for the clothing, and so many fun pieces to chat about! The floors have all quite a mix of styles and colours, I don't see a specific trending theme per floor. First floor: for sure that Leopard Print Fur Coat catches my eye first, this looks amazing, simple in overall design but beautiful and I love the cut on the doll a lot, it looks great on. The beautiful Pleated Lilac Long Skirt is also an attractive piece, colour is stunning and those ruffles and great, I think this will make for a lot of fun outfits and it reminds me of a lilac dress that I have from many years ago and I think they might be a perfect pairing^ I also really like the Pale Lace Blouse it's paired with, super sweet piece and versatile, it will go well with many pieces and colours. In similar vibes, the Cream Pointelle Collared Cardigan, elegant casual in feel and I really like this for a relaxed dressier look, I have quite a lot of ideas for this already. I really wanted to like the Floral Cutout Embroidered Shirt, I like the interesting cutout in the design, the flowers look great and the green colour is also perfect for Spring, but it just doesn't suit my doll at all, so a little sad about this. Second floor: I'm here for all the bows! The Lace Bow White Blouse is so pretty, feminine but smart and versatile, the basic colours make well for adding other colours to in an outfit. The Black Velvet Ruffled Jacket is also similar in versatility but has a super strong design with the square shoulders, I think this one will be fun to style. The Red Valentino Pants are a great basic too, fab shape and fit on the doll and I love a bold trouser, these tick a lot of boxes for me. The Teal Peplum Midi Skirt is an interesting one, the colours are a fantastic pairing, but I'm not sure on the design or how it looks on my doll, but I think some stylings could convince me otherwise^ Third floor: here for the prints, these are such fun pieces and I'm so excited to style them. The Black Bow Ruffled Dress and matching Black Bow Pants are stunning, great together and will be great separately as well, love the sleek minimal print and the fit on the doll, plus the neckline details - I'm especially looking forward to wearing this dress =) The Jacquard Pattern Buttoned Jacket and Jacquard Pattern Cuffed Pants are also a great set, something a bit different and the light colours are perfect for a Spring set. The gold button detail and the ruffled neckline are great touches too. The Embroidered Flower White Jacket also looks fantastic and is another perfect Spring piece that I'm excited to wear as well - nice loose fit along with delicate detailing. Also stand out are the Blue Velvet Cuffed Pants, not very Spring/Summer and very Autumn/Winter, but these have a beautiful colour and texture plus look great on the doll, they will make for some super stunning looks and I'm already envisaging a full on velvet styling for them.

White Valentino Minibag | Lace Bow White Blouse | Brown Cat Eye Valentino Sunglasses | White Studded Valentino Heels

Red Valentino Pants | Brown Textured Leather Handbag

F E A T U R E S

Simply in alphabetical order, first up we have Angelica. in a super Spring styling wearing the Gold V Crystal Earrings, Embroidered Flower White Jacket, White Valentino Minibag and White Studded Valentino Heels - all perfect together and with the other additions to the outfit^ This is a stunning option for the blazer and I think it looks fantastic with this midi-skirt, but what takes it to the next level is the addition of the ruffled collar pieces, these are great and suit the style and colours of the rest of the items perfectly =)

Second is Ditaparl0 going for a dark look with the Black Sleek Shirt and Black Bow Satin Heels which are great together with those bow details. I wasn't so sure about this shirt for my doll, but it looks great in this outfit, I think the looser fit pairs really nicely with the tight skirt and the fishnet tights are a nice balance in keeping the look light, but also making sure the shoes don't seem too dark. Also loving the accessories with this one, great choices!

All about this bold with this styling from Elrry who wears the Geometric Pattern Miniskirt, Detailed Buttoned Purple Dress and Purple Lace Floral Tights in a fantastic way! All these pink and purple colours melt together wonderfully and the pops of green are so eyecatching, this one is fashion week ready^ The layering with the dress is really nice, I think the lighter tones make the magenta really stand out and I especially like the layering with the tights too, it makes the magenta of the lace really more wearable and the layered piece on top has a red/orange tone so pairs well with the skirt, really love this one =D

Back to a darker styling next with harpie styling up the Black Bow Ruffled Dress, Black Bow Belt, Black Lace Floral Tights and Black Bow Satin Heels which all look great together and super dramatic^ The layering on the dress is such a creative idea, the burgundy is super beautiful and the belting finishes off that pairing really nicely. The shoes are a nice matching style with the belt too. Loving the shimmering pairing of the tights, the sparkle really brings out the lace design and I think really makes it look so much better!

When I spotted two looks on miloshki with pieces from the collection I couldn't resist including both here! So first up is the Purple Leather Valentino Handbag and I was so excited to see someone choosing this, it looks fantastic in this outfit and pops exactly how I had hoped it might^ The purple and red are perfect together, I love this skirt so much with the bag, I'm jealous I didn't think of that combination myself - and accessories are amazing, these shoes are also the perfect pair to go with the bag! Then we have the Teal Peplum Midi Skirt and Black Lace Floral Tights and this is doing a great job at making me think I might need the skirt! The black accessory additions really calm the bold colours of the skirt down to be quite wearable and the pink cardigan is perfect to keep a lightness and brightness to the style, perfect with that peplum and the split of the black bow belt =)

And last but not least is sarah_1980 in a usual fashion of only wearing the collection, this time including the Gold Teardrop Crystal Earrings, Cream Pointelle Collared Cardigan, Sequinned Patterned Jacket, Vlogo Black Leather Belt, Blue Velvet Cuffed Pants, Lace Purple Gloves, Leopard Print Chain Bag and Black Studded Valentino Heels - what an ambition and a perfect outcome to highlight the collection! I have to say I was very unsure about this jacket, I like the idea of it but I really wasn't sure about how it would style, this outfit completely cements it as a great styling option. The red tones go great with the navy and somehow also the bold purple of the gloves, it just really works and somehow all the pieces come together and are highlighted in their own ways, just so great!

I N S P I R E D B Y M A R K G O N G | Tribute Review

Second Tribute of the season, and a brand new one - Mark Gong! This isn't a brand or designer I've heard of so it's fun to discover something new. I really like the look of the advertising, the background is interesting and I think the looks shown highlight a nice variety in style of the pieces along with being on current trends, let's get into it!

The store has the typical 3 floors with a total of 15 looks to choose from and several pieces available for both female and male dolls. Overall I think this looks like a pretty good release, there's a mix of colours and fabrics and I think most of the pieces look super versatile. There's definitely something for everyone in this collection.

The accessories: there are 7 pairs of shoes in the release, with the majority being boots. I do quite like the country vibes of the Black Embroidered Boots, they have a very nice style, however I do have some very similar pairs already. The Brown High Embroidered Boots are also quite tempting, but the super high and super loose fit makes me feel a little undecided about them - I've also not seen anyone style these yet, so perhaps that might help me decide on them. However the heels in this release are very nice, I like both the Leopard Print Pumps and Black Velvet Pumps. Lovely design, really nice fit on the doll and just all-round super wearable shoes, these are a fab inclusion in the store. For bags there are 8 to choose from, and they cover a wide range of styles. I adore the Burgundy Embroidered Leather Bag, not only does it have an amazing colour but I love the slouched style and the hand-held clutch design to it, and I think this will be a very popular choice. The 3d Rose Print Minibag and Fringe Embroidered Clutch are very versatile pieces both in black and both with quite a small size. There are some other pieces available too. I really wanted to like the Mark Gong Orange and Blue Lense Sunglasses because I think the coloured lenses are great, but the overall shape of them is quite specific and not one that I prefer, but I look forward to seeing others wear these. Interestingly there are no jewellery items in this release. There are 3 belts in the store which I think are all well designed and versatile, the Thin Brown Leather Belt, Markgong Black Belt and the Black Leather Belts. All very similar in style and I think all will be equally popular, I personally prefer the single belts vs the layered ones, but luckily the style is close in all the options so I don't feel I'm missing out in terms of vibes or design.

Onto the clothing: in the first floor I'm totally drawn in by the burgundy! The Burgundy Leather Coat is completely stunning, such a great fit on the doll and I love the straight-cut design as well as the sheen on the colour. I can see this being very popular and I already have lots of ideas for wearing it. I like that burgundy is also available in another fabric in the Burgundy Curly Fur Coat, so tempted by this one because it looks both cosy and stylish, and it also looks great on the doll. The lace and floral pieces on this floor are also stand out. I love the look of the White Lace Minidress, the black lace on white base looks great and the design is super cute, the double straps are especially a nice touch. The same print is also available in the Embroidered White Corset which also looks fab, I like the modern design to the corset as well and I think this will make for some really fun looks. On the corset theme is also the Black Lace Corset which has a fab design, love the rounded top and peplum hem a lot and I think the black looks fab. The Gold Embroidered Midi Skirt also caught my eye, I love a midi length and this one is such a beautiful standout colour and I've not seen many others like it. The second floor brings a lot of black base pieces. The Black Leather Pants are fabulous, they have such a great shape and fit on the doll, a perfect high waist, a straight leg fit and a great sheen. Also in leather in the Black Layered Skirt, this is a nice over the knee style and I really like the trim design on the hem plus the twirl effect it has, this could make some really nice and fun stylings. The Black Blazer Dress is also stunning, love this one in real life and love it for our dolls too^ The pocket and button details look great and I really like the length on this one, plus the long sleeves. On this floor I also really like the Grey Embroidered Jacket, Grey Embroidered Corset Top and the Grey White Fringes Skirt outfit, I think it's super fun and stylish. The embroidery detail is so pretty and I think there's some good versatile styling options for these pieces individually. The third and final floor is definitely more street-style with more mixed designs on offer - for me it's not as good as the first two floors. The Brown Leather Fringe Pants look quite fun and I love the fringe detail, however I'd want these to be more slim fitting on the doll as the wide fit isn't quite what I'm looking for. But the brown colour is great. However keeping on the brown theme I really like the co-ord of the Sheer Embroidered Brown Shirt and Skirt, love the mix of black detailing on the brown fabric and the sheer look works well for it. These are again pieces that I think will also work well separately and will be great layering pieces.

Burgundy Embroidered Leather Bag | Black Leather Pants | Burgundy Leather Coat

F E A T U R E S

First up Bianca.Vos wearing the Black Layered Skirt and I love this look for it, I think it's a perfect styling and looks so sleek! This shirt with the white cuffs is a great balance, along with the white top beneath the corset, they help highlight the lace trim to the skirt and lighten the look a lot. Also loving the combination of this bag with the skirt, such a good pairing^

Second up is Fergaysson styling the Layered Sheer Dress, a piece I'm really loving, and one that is super versatile as highlighted in this look. This skirt is fantastic on top of the dress, I love the off-centre buttoning and it looks great with the ruching on the body of the dress. Super glam accessories added here, love the fur and the sheen of the shoes and the bag, plus beautiful delicate silver jewellery - also perfect with the Parisian interior =)

Next up is fraternite in a light vintage styling with the White Lace Midi Skirt - this is a piece I couldn't really imagine styling and this outfit completely makes me rethink it, it looks fabulous =D The layering is perfect for it and totally highlights the pretty floral design, and the same thing with the sweet tights, this is perfect for them as I looked at them and really was struggling, but this is genius for them. The jacket is great against the lace and I love these vintage feels^

A darker styling now from hopesolobeauty with both the Burgundy Leather Coat and Messy Luggage Bag - so much love for this coat of course, and I'm all for an all-burgundy styling with it! Especially loving this velvet lace trim top and the belt here, small touches but ones that I do think stand out nicely. Also adoring these glasses with the coat, perfect in colour, design and style. The green additions, taken from the detail on the bag are fantastic too, the little scarf and the earrings are perfect final touches for the look!

Another dark look and totally bringing out a different vibe from the release is LadyStez styling up the Brown Leather Fringe Pants and Brown Leather Belts, such fun pieces and honestly I thought I'd see more of these items being styled. The pair are great together and I think the lace is a great addition to the leather, love a contrast like this yet the dark colour of the lace is such a perfect choice. I like that the rest of the additions are minimal, the focus is firmly on these new items^

And last but not least, a perfect Spring transitional look from Mery.- wearing the Olive Leather Skirt and Gold Embroidered Midi Skirt layered together, perfect idea and I love the belted look of the olive below the gold^ My first notice was how perfect these sheeny gold tights are with the skirt, so so great and perfect against the sheen placement on the skirt. I also love these shoes, and this outfit made me go buy them because they look fabulous in their own right as well as in this outfit! The cropped red sweater is a fun choice, it catches the eye and the length draws your attention down to the skirt - love the choice =D

I N S P I R E D B Y C H A N E L | Styled Outfits

Following on from my review where I featured a lot of you guys styling up the Chanel release - now it's my turn, and boy did I buy a lot! And for sure, let me know what look and what pieces you like the best =D

First up the Ribbed Beige Turtleneck, Red Leather Coat and Red Leather Chanel Handbag - all fantastic pieces. I do think the reds are great together, they really complement each other well and one isn't overshadowing the other. I kept it super simple with the additions, I adore this matching beige top and trouser option, for sure that's something I'll repeat again and I think the beige really softens the red nicely. Matching burgundy boots and light golden earrings finished off the styling for a balanced look. Next up are the Red Stone Drop Earrings, Ribbed Black Turtleneck, Tweed Raw Edges Jacket and Apple Chanel Clutch - that's for sure a lot of pieces in one for me! I really think this is such a fun jacket and all I could think about for styling it was those red buttons! So I added a lot of red but I really like it and I think it works well. The red trousers are a perfect colour match and I think they balance out with the green of the jacket well. The black top and shoes grounded the look a little, then completed with more red - the bag is a little darker so pops nicely against the trousers. And the final look of this set is with the Embroidered Chanel Dress, which was a free piece from the collection that we all received - I saw some mixed opinions about it, but I simply adore this dress! I had ideas for it as soon as I saw it - for a warmer look this pink polo is almost a perfect colour match and with those yellow flowers, this sunflower bag was all I was thinking about! The black on the dress is super contrasting, so it worked well to add a little more black to the look in the accessories. Adore this outfit so much =D

Next up, first are the Thick Glossy Sunglasses, Silver Stone Drop Earrings, Boucle Patterned Jacket and Black Chanel Fuzzy Handbag in what is such a different vibe for my doll, but I love it and I think this is such a fun different way to wear Chanel pieces. I was super keen to highlight the beautiful yellow print on the jacket, but I had quite limited pieces in that shade, these shorts were the best option but were fun to play with and finally get to wear! With the clothing vibrant, I kept the accessories simple with mostly black pieces chosen, I especially love the earrings with the jacket^ Next are the Black Bow High Boots which are just so cute, I loved working with them. I wanted to make sure they popped in the look so kept a lighter vibe to the clothing, this dress with black details felt like a great fit and the bow on the neckline is perfect against the bows on the boots. Stuck with Chanel accessories and really love this one. And finally here are the Blue Feather Top and Constellation Chanel Clutch, honestly after seeing hopesolobeauty's look that I included in my review, I don't think this top can be worn in a better way, so for sure my look is a downgrade, but I do really like it nonetheless. These trousers were a great find in terms of colour, and the navy pieces came quickly after that, I like to think I've made an extravagant piece slightly more day-to-day wearable! The bag was also fun to include but for sure next time it needs a starry themed styling^

And onto the final set of stylings! First are the Black Trimmed Chanel Sunglasses, Ribbed Black Turtleneck, Chanel Gold Chain Belt and Leopard Print Chanel Bag in a super simple but elegant look effectively highlighting the pieces from the release. The black base of clothing is perfect for both the gold and leopard print to pop, and how could I resist these glasses with the yellow/gold lenses, so me! Next is the Chanel Pearl Shoulder Clutch, I was so torn between what look to share with this bag because it looked good in quite a few, so you may have seen my doll in my suite in a different styling^ I kept some pearls in with these fabulous trousers, I think they're great with the bag, for me it's not too much at all. Super neutral with all the other additions, adore this coat with the bag too and I'll wear this pairing again. And the final pieces, the White Satin Blouse and Collared Chain Detail Dress, definitely not pieces I expected to wear together but make such a good combination. I was trying to make the dress into more of a Winter styling without layering too much ontop of it because I love the overall shape of it, a shirt underneath was the perfect option and this one adds a great colour and texture to the navy. Again kept with Chanel accessories and I love all of these ones, the little bag and pearl necklace are perfection here =)
