I was very kindly gifted a number of pieces from a friend as I got to the release a little too late for any pieces to be left - hopefully I do the items justice! I have two more dresses left so maybe you will see them styled on my doll soon. First up are the <b>Barry Jacket</b> and <b>Barry Necklace</b> - firstly I adore this necklace, it's a beautiful delicate piece and I know I will wear it a lot. The jacket is definitely a unique piece, but I love the combination of the bold red and the checks - I think it will make for a lot of fun looks. I think I went fairly simple with the pieces for this look, but I wanted it to be about making the red pop, and that works nicely. The white clothes make a good base, but the blouse brings in a little gold pin at the neckline to add to the necklace and details on the jacket, then I added more red accessories - I had really forgotten about this bag and I think it's absolutely perfect here^ Next up is the <b>Elisabeth D Dress</b> which has such a pretty neutral pink/stone colour vibe to it, and I think that suits my doll really nicely. I didn't really want to hide any of this gown so I focussed on accessories - the only thing I could not decide on was a necklace, I just didn't have anything that fitted the colour perfectly, however I do think I found great earrings in this pink and gold pair, and I also think this <a href="https://thestardolllookbook.blogspot.com/2024/01/i-n-s-p-i-r-e-d-b-y-l-e-x-n-d-e-r-m-c-q.html">McQueen</a> bag is just absolute perfection with the dress, these two pieces were made for each other! And the final piece I styled up is the <b>Julia Dress</b> - I am all about those all-over sparkles^ I wanted to try out more of an 'outfit' with this piece, and I think it was a good option for it because I have quite a few silver sparkly bits to add. I think that while this top wasn't a perfect tone match for the silver, I think it still works well, and the two tone silver idea is really growing on me! Accessorising was easy apart from the bag, I didn't want to go too over the top, but I still needed something that fitted, I think I've found a good happy medium with this choice, but I think I can still do better^</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDgY5mMXKcU400IeDgSmL6m7ZXUqro6XzMzkstsM3z9K_H7-wThJrd8HtrikTs_A8CXO3sDuEZkDdxNH5B39Xm0H9CW22irLgpZSe4SVThCDjkEVNuPWbP1ow57bjf5q2FF-0YFDY2asFvv0eRKTo3YK1ckq1GGe1Ny0L1bNxJW5IaPE11zRkyRAQiz-lh/s650/YHGoldenGlobes2024Looks.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="503" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDgY5mMXKcU400IeDgSmL6m7ZXUqro6XzMzkstsM3z9K_H7-wThJrd8HtrikTs_A8CXO3sDuEZkDdxNH5B39Xm0H9CW22irLgpZSe4SVThCDjkEVNuPWbP1ow57bjf5q2FF-0YFDY2asFvv0eRKTo3YK1ckq1GGe1Ny0L1bNxJW5IaPE11zRkyRAQiz-lh/s16000/YHGoldenGlobes2024Looks.png" /></a></div></div>sparklewand12http://www.blogger.com/profile/01669729572626154147noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729697896594303298.post-52181713362660767042024-03-06T20:00:00.053+00:002024-03-06T20:00:00.130+00:00I N S P I R E D B Y B O T T E G A V E N E T A | Styled Outfits<div style="text-align: justify;">We're here already - the final set of looks from this recent Tribute season! I'm a little sad it's over, but I think we're ending on a high as I was hugely impressed with the <a href="https://thestardolllookbook.blogspot.com/2024/02/i-n-s-p-i-r-e-d-b-y-b-o-t-t-e-g-v-e-n-e.html">Inspired By Bottega Veneta</a> release, and hopefully we'll get more releases to this level in the future^ I bought quite a number of pieces from this release and think I managed to get them all into these stylings. First up are the <b>Blue Pants</b> and <b>Yellow Oval Sunglasses</b> - blue of this shade and yellow is just such a classic colour combination, I love the vibrant contrast between the colours and think it's such a fun Spring vibe. As I said in the review, these trousers have such a great fit, and they were super easy to style, they will work in so many ways and I'm looking forward to styling them again. I really went all in with the yellow and I love the combination of pieces I've picked, this top fits really perfectly with the trousers. In the second look I've worn the <b>Black Oval Sunglasses</b>, <b>Leather Culotte Trousers </b>and <b>Rocket 90 Leather Mules</b> - these accessories pieces were super easy to style and both feature in the next set of stylings too, already highlighting to me their versatility. I kept the look super simple so that the focus was on the texture of the trousers, these have a really nice fit and I think will be great for minimal Spring/Summer outfits. A classic black and white styling is a great first go for these, next time I think it'll be all about the colour! And the final look in this first set includes the <b>Black Oval Sunglasses</b>, <b>Small Black Kalimero Bag</b> and <b>Navy Leather Wrap Skirt</b>, in a styling which is a little different for me, but I really like it^ I adore the skirt pairing with these shoes, the colours are beautiful together. I will say that other than finding the shoes, I did struggle a bit styling this skirt, I didn't find I had a lot of good top or jacket options for it, but maybe I was too stuck trying to get something that working with the skirt and shoes combo - so I think I need to work more on this one and explore more options a little out of the box. Nevertheless, I'm super happy with the outfit in the end!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzZytkymDmZUrj8s8S2xQRmwap_WDBhR6LLvjGWcyR_lMeimfMM3aoKxeO6hY5H7mZ3TOZabwJ7X25Jsuq7ZgrHvxtqqjLJa5CVsQBG2QkKgET3MUlgpMeH4gpRTRVt7MnraIm73JDgr3dWp-irqhrjxpsi_Yq7mobW3gpXCP0Yhdf5rpKeNqJOte_Wbdg/s650/BOTTEGALooks2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzZytkymDmZUrj8s8S2xQRmwap_WDBhR6LLvjGWcyR_lMeimfMM3aoKxeO6hY5H7mZ3TOZabwJ7X25Jsuq7ZgrHvxtqqjLJa5CVsQBG2QkKgET3MUlgpMeH4gpRTRVt7MnraIm73JDgr3dWp-irqhrjxpsi_Yq7mobW3gpXCP0Yhdf5rpKeNqJOte_Wbdg/s16000/BOTTEGALooks2.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This next outfit has so many pieces in it - the <b>Silver H Beam Earrings</b>, <b>Slubbed Melange Blazer</b>, <b>White Sheer Cotton Dress</b>, <b>Small Black Kalimero Bag</b> and <b>Rocket 90 Leather Mules</b>! Phew, that's a lot all in one, but these pieces just sort of fell together well! I paired the clothing together first, I really liked the white against the grey and also really liked the sheer skirting of the dress with the solid of the blazer. I added a collared shirt for a slightly smarter style and then accessories were easy in black because of the black button on the blazer. I also love the grey of the blazer with silver jewellery so these earrings were the obvious choice. I really love this outfit =D Next is the <b>Draped Neck Leather Dress</b> and I really umm'd and ahh'd about this one for ages because I was so indecisive about what accessories and whether to add other clothing to the look - in the end, keeping it more simple and focussing on accessories won out. I love how this clutch bag looks with the dress, even though it's a more purple shade, I think it pairs so well with the brown, and the style of the bag is perfect with the dress too. With the gold detailing on the bag, the rest of the additions came easily, but before choosing the bag, I went through so many pairs of shoes that also looked good, so there are plenty of options for this piece. And finally, the <b>Brown Leather Midi Dress</b> and <b>Brown Cat Eye Hem Shades</b> - yep, I bought both brown dresses! The outfits in the featured section of the review really swayed me to get this dress too, and I'm so glad because it was easy to style and I loved doing it. I also opted for a layered look, I really like this sheer blouse against the brown leather and it keeps the look light for adding darker accessories. Loved accessorising this look, these earrings really are my favourite combination with the dress, and I balanced the light of the shirt with the shoes. I love this outfit so much =D</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXekkoXkk9c5rv1bX_NSmkCdEw-taekuxKZG-wGDlYnuX7VY9gdcVEhRGYUDQEvcDpd_ZEWQJczhjuWtHWsJbrjJIMCxm-VUeDVKVnqYY9i3md8EA460bJEQkid86LZ3KqQwA8b0szu0eLCgoNIT_ZwofHZng3HbMcr212la0vnjt0DawpJaEBtGQDiyff/s650/BOTTEGALooks1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXekkoXkk9c5rv1bX_NSmkCdEw-taekuxKZG-wGDlYnuX7VY9gdcVEhRGYUDQEvcDpd_ZEWQJczhjuWtHWsJbrjJIMCxm-VUeDVKVnqYY9i3md8EA460bJEQkid86LZ3KqQwA8b0szu0eLCgoNIT_ZwofHZng3HbMcr212la0vnjt0DawpJaEBtGQDiyff/s16000/BOTTEGALooks1.png" /></a></div>sparklewand12http://www.blogger.com/profile/01669729572626154147noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729697896594303298.post-23026104668486431432024-03-03T20:00:00.021+00:002024-03-03T20:00:00.128+00:00I N S P I R E D B Y M A I S O N M A R G I E L A | Styled Outfits<div style="text-align: justify;">The penultimate post from this Winter Tribute season - styling up the pieces I bought from the <a href="https://thestardolllookbook.blogspot.com/2024/02/i-n-s-p-i-r-e-d-b-y-m-i-s-o-n-m-r-g-i-e.html">Inspired By Maison Margiela</a> release. This for sure wasn't my favourite collection of the season, I would say it's 4th out of the 5, and I only picked up a couple of pieces, but I'm pretty happy with them so far. First up are the <b>Tabi Broken Mirror Boots</b> which I think are stunning, really maybe the best piece of the release. These are beautiful and were super easy to style - I opted for simple silver and black and I think they stand out really nicely. They gave a more matte metallic texture but work well balanced with this sparkly top. I really love this outfit, it's very Winter party season, so I'll be bringing it out when that comes round again, but I do think these boots have some Spring potential so I'm looking forward to that challenge. Next are the <b>Striped Wide Leg Pants</b> which were trickier to style than I had imagined. The colours are fantastic on them, but definitely not super common ones to have matching items for. I am happy with my shoe and bag choice here, the magenta tones look great with the trousers. But I did struggle on a top to choose so went for my go-to of black because white was a little too bright here. I think it works for these trousers, but definitely some refining to be done! And finally the <b>Glam Slam Hobo Micro Velvet Merlot</b> bag in a super cute Spring styling, I really love this one. I found matching shoes for the bag, so that's a combination I know I'll be repeating. The outfit is simple and I definitely went a little <i>off piste </i>with the pink blazer but I think it really is fun and works nicely with the bag colour and design. The white base keeps the look simple and I'm really pleased with the final outcome =)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO8KxNMOdOoFupw9d5Pn0nltl2BmAy6ICUUUZOhEjQildU2R28QItqVk7thAMlhzK9oP6X8qJlvs58QZ4aou4eUhPDeVOW4nhsF8NkZ5Rdd8OPoL6VIv6OoS-YKcF-7jtjpBXGpcuf062HhVy1G-6InXO6UvIoxQcuc1Z9H3APcJneOQcBFZm3eG9m3xf_/s650/MAISONMARGLooks.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO8KxNMOdOoFupw9d5Pn0nltl2BmAy6ICUUUZOhEjQildU2R28QItqVk7thAMlhzK9oP6X8qJlvs58QZ4aou4eUhPDeVOW4nhsF8NkZ5Rdd8OPoL6VIv6OoS-YKcF-7jtjpBXGpcuf062HhVy1G-6InXO6UvIoxQcuc1Z9H3APcJneOQcBFZm3eG9m3xf_/s16000/MAISONMARGLooks.png" /></a></div>sparklewand12http://www.blogger.com/profile/01669729572626154147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729697896594303298.post-80341858353129563212024-03-01T20:00:00.052+00:002024-03-01T20:00:00.345+00:00I N S P I R E D B Y S C H I A P A R E L L I | Styled Outfits<div style="text-align: justify;">And another styling post from our recent Tributes season, this time from the <a href="https://thestardolllookbook.blogspot.com/2024/02/i-n-s-p-i-r-e-d-b-y-s-c-h-i-p-r-e-l-l-i.html">Inspired By Schiaparelli</a> release - I somehow ended up with a <i>lot </i>of pieces from this release (thanks to some very generous friends for some gifts^) so I had many styling options. First up are the <b>Pearl Top</b> and <b>Liquid Effect Black Miniskirt</b> because I thought these two shimmering pieces just had to be worn together! With black bases to both, going for a black-based look was very easy. I really liked adding in patent in the shoes and I love this pearl-strap bag, I think it's a great fit for the top with that detail. Both of these pieces are pretty versatile so will work well in many other ways. Next are the <b>Beaded Trompe L Oeil Dress</b>, <b>Keyhole Pierced Ear Earrings</b> and <b>Patent Leather Keyhole Pumps</b> - it's a lot, but I really think these items are perfect together in this simple styling. I didn't add a whole lot else to the look because really I think the dress design deserves to be the focus in this outfit. I like these light tights, they work well to highlight the heels in the look too. All I really had to add was a bag, and the little gold on this one was just perfect to complete the styling. The third look uses both the <b>Cropped Black Wool Jacket</b> and <b>Sleeveless Turtleneck</b> and for sure this isn't the best styling to highlight the top, but I think those days will come in Summer when I'm out of jacket-time^ I was just all for an all-black look with this jacket, so really you can't tell a lot about it other than it uses some of my favourite pieces XD These trousers are great as the waist-line is right to the crop length. I like the little balance of the jewel design on the jacket with the patent of the boots =)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEY9PD7wlLCOOYKX8xMQ7kp9JpZC8Q1McoAURn5QQ9zS7hLU60NrvTYr8YboT9FgxfVkP6bQwakRsDFBaGzT1TbZ-ghuKufsnwprwvlOI7z4c0KI3vvDi-rflFXpN5XcSfocMJmyJsTXTRonSG_WaNnFaKbnTFw9buSsBcE51tZ8b1neCgN_V9syuIMNNU/s650/SCHIPFeb2024Looks1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEY9PD7wlLCOOYKX8xMQ7kp9JpZC8Q1McoAURn5QQ9zS7hLU60NrvTYr8YboT9FgxfVkP6bQwakRsDFBaGzT1TbZ-ghuKufsnwprwvlOI7z4c0KI3vvDi-rflFXpN5XcSfocMJmyJsTXTRonSG_WaNnFaKbnTFw9buSsBcE51tZ8b1neCgN_V9syuIMNNU/s16000/SCHIPFeb2024Looks1.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Super light and colourful in the next three looks. First up here is the <b>High Waist Embroidered Skirt</b> and I have to say I was a bit overwhelmed with this one because I just couldn't decide how to style it - so I don't think this outfit is perfect for the skirt, I don't think white is the best choice with it, but I'm glad I gave it a go. I do however adore the blue boots and bag with the skirt, that combination is the beginning of a great outfit I think! Next up are the <b>Breasts Short Jacket</b> and <b>Mini Anatomy Embroidered Bag</b> and although the pieces only have little touches of gold, I went all out with the gold and opted for this fun midi skirt, I think it's super cute! The black boots balance the black printing on the jacket and the base colour of the bag. I think this jacket will look great in a more casual look too, so I have some more ideas for next time with it - I didn't pick up the matching <b>Archives Knitted Miniskirt</b> to go with it as I don't think I'll get the wear out of it as much as I would the jacket. And the final piece is the <b>Crochet Puzzle Dress</b> which I just think is a fabulous piece! This outfit took the longest to put together because I was so indecisive about it, it has so many colours that I just couldn't decide on which one for accessories. In the end a mix of white and blue won out over orange, but it was a tight competition XD This bag colour is perfect for those little touches of blue in the print and I think it complements the white well. This piece has so many accessory options so I'm looking forward to exploring those^</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV9Mj_kzF7jYV0edNXYa3OaSjIBkbqqKUbTT7aR0fjp2Il5mLb3M8jOc7160fI3eEHqiKXewkD_p6-S8bTL8SnY9VE-a3bbdR0AxyZI4BFmJXY1bpo4fdBql3eHCMmKcemfdIl4nFR9f-EVZG6kJZ6vDxpDg7dXamU8yEBj93up1B7GglZT-JagKrVPLUb/s650/SCHIPFeb2024Looks2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV9Mj_kzF7jYV0edNXYa3OaSjIBkbqqKUbTT7aR0fjp2Il5mLb3M8jOc7160fI3eEHqiKXewkD_p6-S8bTL8SnY9VE-a3bbdR0AxyZI4BFmJXY1bpo4fdBql3eHCMmKcemfdIl4nFR9f-EVZG6kJZ6vDxpDg7dXamU8yEBj93up1B7GglZT-JagKrVPLUb/s16000/SCHIPFeb2024Looks2.png" /></a></div>sparklewand12http://www.blogger.com/profile/01669729572626154147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729697896594303298.post-84666360632925689942024-02-28T20:00:00.048+00:002024-02-28T20:00:00.160+00:00I N S P I R E D B Y A L E X A N D E R M C Q U E E N | Styled Outfits<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">After posting my review of the <a href="https://thestardolllookbook.blogspot.com/2024/01/i-n-s-p-i-r-e-d-b-y-l-e-x-n-d-e-r-m-c-q.html">Inspired By Alexander McQueen</a> tribute store, finally getting around to sharing my looks - and I am super excited about these! I loved working with these pieces and found them both fun and easy, I'm super happy with this as the first release of the Tribute season. First up is the <b>Embroidery Dress</b>, which I think will make for some great Summer stylings, but I've gone in a more Winter to Spring transition look with a long sleeve layered underneath. The red colour of this one is perfect with the embroidery threads on the dress. I stuck with red for all the accessories, I particularly love these boots with the look^ Next are the <b>Military Trench Coat</b> and <b>Armadillo Bow Boots</b>. This isn't the perfect look to show off the boots, but I wanted to get as many pieces into these stylings as possible. But I Kept it super simple with just black additions to this coat, the more dress style design does make it difficult to style beyond accessories. I'm really happy with these choices and I really love the simplicity of the look showing off those design details on the coat. And the third look here includes the <b>Funnel Neck Knit Jumper</b> and <b>Exploded Victorian Jewel Knuckle Clutch</b> and I am in love with this styling! The bag is more silver but I was seeing pink vibes in it so knew I wanted to get pink into the look with it - and I think the black and baby pink contrast is super eye-catching. I kept it simple and balanced, with the black boots against the sweater then this fabulous pink pearl necklace - this is a look I would easily wear day after day^</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8nvp9E5tAXjEEQ4PEM0BC3Q383-fGoHZnh9zSNp47dWtXNKt7RScQW385_JIOxod6Rz3kSxK_PMKZN_NazfhylaA9IkQUy_mA411eeiyCfURKP0NyYE1f8dU8C1gOM6B-0tn_Mtgu5JOu1gXlK8E8egQrXlYbs4o75mutglCxVIK09NNBCV1QMbD_uxD1/s650/McQueenFeb2024Looks2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8nvp9E5tAXjEEQ4PEM0BC3Q383-fGoHZnh9zSNp47dWtXNKt7RScQW385_JIOxod6Rz3kSxK_PMKZN_NazfhylaA9IkQUy_mA411eeiyCfURKP0NyYE1f8dU8C1gOM6B-0tn_Mtgu5JOu1gXlK8E8egQrXlYbs4o75mutglCxVIK09NNBCV1QMbD_uxD1/s16000/McQueenFeb2024Looks2.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And for some darker stylings in the next three outfits. First here are the <b>Black And Gold Dress</b> and <b>Drop Down Earring</b> which I think are fantastic with each other, the gold of the earring matches that on the dress really perfectly. I was torn about what direction to go with because I wanted to add a lot more gold but also keep it simple - I did struggle to find perfect gold accessories to match the gold on the dress, so opted for a more simple look. I added a navy top underneath for a more Winter look without the shoulder gaps, then also used tights, but I really like the balance of gold with these shoes^ Next is the <b>Black Knots Dress</b>, which I am still convinced is navy - so I paired it with navy! I love the look with this navy knit beneath it, really the two are so great together, I'm super pleased with the pairing. I kept with navy in these sheeny boots and love the vibe they add to the look. I'm super excited to wear this dress again already. And the final piece is the <b>Leather Bustier Skirt</b> and actually I came up with quite a few options for this piece, so it's got really nice versatility to it. The colour is a dark grey, so I really liked trying out other greys with it, this sweater tucked in with a black polo underneath is a super cute option. Accessorising was simple in black, but really there were so many options I could have gone for. Again, this is another piece I'm looking forward to styling another time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdljtONB-Q-FxH5MpHF10ZduUbo7AGKQgQm6RvoaQGDpKTgeSpAz79JOO-yUJfzVHqw8i4jcx1CGwuFK0mwji6Dt0r5R7KMZrrAPXQdIG_nG42_l-fqyxpKHv7Pl-x79alk2k8uWJMHFXzLzRknysjnyATdFUkxQtyIvonjWncLtX7lL3PaJ-Phz0bzHIi/s650/McQueenFeb2024Looks.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdljtONB-Q-FxH5MpHF10ZduUbo7AGKQgQm6RvoaQGDpKTgeSpAz79JOO-yUJfzVHqw8i4jcx1CGwuFK0mwji6Dt0r5R7KMZrrAPXQdIG_nG42_l-fqyxpKHv7Pl-x79alk2k8uWJMHFXzLzRknysjnyATdFUkxQtyIvonjWncLtX7lL3PaJ-Phz0bzHIi/s16000/McQueenFeb2024Looks.png" /></a></div></div>sparklewand12http://www.blogger.com/profile/01669729572626154147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729697896594303298.post-74363657574703547842024-02-26T20:00:00.023+00:002024-02-26T20:00:00.131+00:00OOTM January 2024 | Styled By You / / Styled By Me<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCerX81K-6aNWYRiibFyRSTmWMIUj5hofeqJo8NHiphnvd74jd8T2dGt3kpw1vCBADG61wxuFGvGLB3mSw0DdjJ7FpUj0NP1nd_kyrFQg-5boS9_SnZaTOe7wAveC1LDZXuSEX7btqNOmhkET_tMdA4tGQONYhKYzuqoD5XMrApJEwMspVzSTmwbZrojjO/s843/Jan2024OOTMWindows.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="473" data-original-width="843" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCerX81K-6aNWYRiibFyRSTmWMIUj5hofeqJo8NHiphnvd74jd8T2dGt3kpw1vCBADG61wxuFGvGLB3mSw0DdjJ7FpUj0NP1nd_kyrFQg-5boS9_SnZaTOe7wAveC1LDZXuSEX7btqNOmhkET_tMdA4tGQONYhKYzuqoD5XMrApJEwMspVzSTmwbZrojjO/s16000/Jan2024OOTMWindows.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Apologies for the lateness of this post - but the <b><i>January OOTM 2024</i></b> was a pretty popular release. I didn't so much like a lot of the pieces, but you guys did so there are plenty of features to share! One of the most popular pieces was the <b>Lips Denim Corse</b>t, so many people styled this up and it does seem to have been pretty versatile piece. So firstly a look from the ever-cool <b><i>bianca.vos</i></b>, the piece really is framed well in this outfit from the chosen hairstyle draping at one side and the coat being an off the shoulder style. The denim design of the top is paired with more denim in these jeans, the two work well with the blue striped detail at the bottom of the jeans. I like the mix of denim with the beige tones and then the look has been glammed with the silver jewellery and these fab pointed-toe heels^</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvF7OyojV4AML8MM6LJN6dpjHGoEXaONBrKO7UN-o07qOIBHDb1CYT8pR8hkLJHgrcpeqMsf9RhLCpzL4_Kfhz_6D1TvCuz_fkADc0LAFxVdZiul_8GNeIqSuWkstX1j_dwzXzSWN3nr_bK2LDJF4Zm1shu0N2zRqvI9Tv5AZEovC5RMuPvQq2D4-h-G5T/s650/Jan2024OOTMbiancaDOTvos.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvF7OyojV4AML8MM6LJN6dpjHGoEXaONBrKO7UN-o07qOIBHDb1CYT8pR8hkLJHgrcpeqMsf9RhLCpzL4_Kfhz_6D1TvCuz_fkADc0LAFxVdZiul_8GNeIqSuWkstX1j_dwzXzSWN3nr_bK2LDJF4Zm1shu0N2zRqvI9Tv5AZEovC5RMuPvQq2D4-h-G5T/s16000/Jan2024OOTMbiancaDOTvos.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Next up with this piece is <b><i>darlinglovato</i></b> - and bringing a whole different vibe to the piece, it's great! The piece layers nicely, and the blues work so well with the various shades of brown in the look, I'm so pleasantly surprised with how well these leather trousers work with the top. The polo layered underneath really pops but also draws the eyes to the lips design, such a fun touch to a smart styling!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTbmVvSneq_Cg4jSTEK6_gMmN5y1O_i8p8rXbEggOT9F-ccchuhrwjA3Mva1xVNyZpH_aFkj1ZknqPKABobCCvOcCLGVc_iK-AvwOySuBginBE6XyWbOp2SBcEkW8_Ir8HSfWA1Y209I9oT08EwelXLuO-gN6EoawrwariQyEnqKJEOhl30_joy3_0u5uk/s650/Jan2024OOTMdarlinglovato.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTbmVvSneq_Cg4jSTEK6_gMmN5y1O_i8p8rXbEggOT9F-ccchuhrwjA3Mva1xVNyZpH_aFkj1ZknqPKABobCCvOcCLGVc_iK-AvwOySuBginBE6XyWbOp2SBcEkW8_Ir8HSfWA1Y209I9oT08EwelXLuO-gN6EoawrwariQyEnqKJEOhl30_joy3_0u5uk/s16000/Jan2024OOTMdarlinglovato.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Next we have <b><i>sarah_1980</i></b>, who additionally wears the <b>Long Buttoned Denim Skirt</b> and the <b>Shop Stop Sign Shoulder Bag</b> with the piece. The clothing of course works well as they are in the same window, but the accessories are great additions to round off the look. I really love the red top underneath, the colour makes the outfit pop and I think red is a great complement to the different denim washes in the styling. The black accessories are great together and balance out really well =)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpxe_tCf9RTNhWJT_-S0xf1XRQwpiAG_N3XfXu7rigaNlgd4oVOtBm3Y5FDIze2K1yU3lEZzC6Dt_AaL8u0V6E83158KJAc0JYuWlS-wfBbJ-XoCkDpiwGicft5wl_I-nRTNSG1WFGJrvwel38sZWBgdPT4bT4GaMZQly5rLq50K8I48ojrrmXG1PR9Ybr/s650/Jan2024OOTMsarah_1980.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpxe_tCf9RTNhWJT_-S0xf1XRQwpiAG_N3XfXu7rigaNlgd4oVOtBm3Y5FDIze2K1yU3lEZzC6Dt_AaL8u0V6E83158KJAc0JYuWlS-wfBbJ-XoCkDpiwGicft5wl_I-nRTNSG1WFGJrvwel38sZWBgdPT4bT4GaMZQly5rLq50K8I48ojrrmXG1PR9Ybr/s16000/Jan2024OOTMsarah_1980.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And lastly looking at a different piece, <b><i>notnoworlater</i></b> styles up the <b>Knitted Cropped Top</b> - which is one of the pieces I had thought about buying but in the end didn't, maybe I'm regretting it now because this outfit is beautiful! The look is a great neutral one. The top layers well over a white shirt, and this one is fabulous with those sleeves. Love the tweed culottes a lot, perfect fit for the top. And the glam accessories are great final touches to the outfit =)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK-dVWa5eFuVjSiQCUh1Yk9ie9ZdmXrL6TRQhjp-EAJa9koZRl8uKg5SYrDAj4glkcn2dPyLh0SzFma0tn9JAUougwcPuzoHOFQ814_VMH7MpDUru77IPu1qei5XtTyl50aF_ZcCW96g7Wa1sHV9S6BG28jjJciygcfZUn70E50DzO41dyBNPRg-9y9Gsh/s650/Jan2024OOTMnotnoworlater.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK-dVWa5eFuVjSiQCUh1Yk9ie9ZdmXrL6TRQhjp-EAJa9koZRl8uKg5SYrDAj4glkcn2dPyLh0SzFma0tn9JAUougwcPuzoHOFQ814_VMH7MpDUru77IPu1qei5XtTyl50aF_ZcCW96g7Wa1sHV9S6BG28jjJciygcfZUn70E50DzO41dyBNPRg-9y9Gsh/s16000/Jan2024OOTMnotnoworlater.png" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I did pick up one piece from this months collection, the <b>Crystals Hair Band</b> which I think is a super sweet accessory and actually gives me the first opportunity to style up a headband, it's not an accessory I would often think of and there aren't a lot of options in the Plaza for them. I really like the feminine style of this one, but I do have not the best hairstyle choice on with this one because the band really blends with my hair colour - so a darker colour next time for sure! I knew I wanted to go on a more neutral direction and I'm super pleased with the outcome. This ombre brown and beige dress is a perfect piece for it, and I've sized it down to layer it under this beige coat. I kept the rest of the accessories very simple fitting with the other colours of the look. I'm definitely excited to trying this piece out again!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV4i3paR_VB2w4P8P7lHCxjklUkWjUkjBBokOaCEXg_VkjWJCcb3tP4noXYGR27Eb2eR0FuvR-Q6Yl4KHG6Df0R4OlmFwnXk8zhAHEJBsK_GJqh7cQotacShlkSizqQymS8m97lzhbgpG8O8tN56TOhmnTXV2ApxYGYOEIa8boLJX_Z0egwziBedZHQd1W/s650/Jan24OOTMLook.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="503" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV4i3paR_VB2w4P8P7lHCxjklUkWjUkjBBokOaCEXg_VkjWJCcb3tP4noXYGR27Eb2eR0FuvR-Q6Yl4KHG6Df0R4OlmFwnXk8zhAHEJBsK_GJqh7cQotacShlkSizqQymS8m97lzhbgpG8O8tN56TOhmnTXV2ApxYGYOEIa8boLJX_Z0egwziBedZHQd1W/s16000/Jan24OOTMLook.png" /></a></div>sparklewand12http://www.blogger.com/profile/01669729572626154147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729697896594303298.post-52962765757806192042024-02-24T20:00:00.033+00:002024-02-24T20:00:00.129+00:00I N S P I R E D B Y B O T T E G A V E N E T A | Tribute Review<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhc-NHTupBKkniuf2Br2G8Dcb3b4A577lkYLAXnjAYdFuSdJkoHIreYp_F1G_Nw7IvNXAaPEux08R0Dp8ppKliDwYON2xUWRzTyYvzIeLiE-GiMT3ZlUEANXpGmHxBaQF5FYoIXsq0A9Z8tSWVOzqtiQpKdcx2OFvghbh0ibtTOcpf9LlLbAc4chsivJ5z/s968/BOTTEGAVENETAHeading.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="319" data-original-width="968" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhc-NHTupBKkniuf2Br2G8Dcb3b4A577lkYLAXnjAYdFuSdJkoHIreYp_F1G_Nw7IvNXAaPEux08R0Dp8ppKliDwYON2xUWRzTyYvzIeLiE-GiMT3ZlUEANXpGmHxBaQF5FYoIXsq0A9Z8tSWVOzqtiQpKdcx2OFvghbh0ibtTOcpf9LlLbAc4chsivJ5z/s16000/BOTTEGAVENETAHeading.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Tribute number 5 of the season and it's a brand new brand - it's <b><i>Bottega Veneta</i></b>! I didn't really have any 'wishlist' as such for this Tribute season, but was hoping a little for <i>Gucci</i> or <i>Chanel</i> after the first few releases, but this one really blew those wishes out of the park, I am just so impressed with this finale for the season! The team have really outdone themselves with this one - so many complements and big round of applause from me^ The advertising follows suit with the other releases from this season and the outfits really speak to me with their neutral tones and more simple stylings, without further ado, let's get in:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXq48xm9H-jNYkl72yeVzZ4Fyh3sZWMnx5mwB7zsqV_1XpOdGz5ZfnvNOsWbG7xahdcfRZXFoJQK_OSBnLDCld9FjL48SbZXn5MriLNOQ3mhU3x7m9qC5YS9LrCczMqXFn6Xs4x6cvzmZ3W__oMtRqpa3eRdPG748py-i7SyIySci8bWVmxpIqhO2IAYv7/s927/BOTTEGAVENETAFloor1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="509" data-original-width="927" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXq48xm9H-jNYkl72yeVzZ4Fyh3sZWMnx5mwB7zsqV_1XpOdGz5ZfnvNOsWbG7xahdcfRZXFoJQK_OSBnLDCld9FjL48SbZXn5MriLNOQ3mhU3x7m9qC5YS9LrCczMqXFn6Xs4x6cvzmZ3W__oMtRqpa3eRdPG748py-i7SyIySci8bWVmxpIqhO2IAYv7/s16000/BOTTEGAVENETAFloor1.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjejrI2JiL0dhSV4ctXhv47yEtQwngAZ4xcI5V7x1Obh5gUINo53UVssRdh7AaFJOLBAEFuwy0mi3vOiSFZFoZy_iorpj3qJD9KyUABT-6dTIlAaSL-rxp4as3r2Qi3LPFNvG5C4UY0D9OGD0ZrkiYEaeOCMjGRlP3oGRW73cYqAsv8PAD0Fk3B0_hj0Uxr/s927/BOTTEGAVENETAFloor2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="509" data-original-width="927" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjejrI2JiL0dhSV4ctXhv47yEtQwngAZ4xcI5V7x1Obh5gUINo53UVssRdh7AaFJOLBAEFuwy0mi3vOiSFZFoZy_iorpj3qJD9KyUABT-6dTIlAaSL-rxp4as3r2Qi3LPFNvG5C4UY0D9OGD0ZrkiYEaeOCMjGRlP3oGRW73cYqAsv8PAD0Fk3B0_hj0Uxr/s16000/BOTTEGAVENETAFloor2.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7WWDQe81oTscHZLJRS-b0ZMg9mjZIIWEJdFe4TxIfPTPSRfrVWwVd3AGc4dcTyaqoy0FnlD1uVm3U1x2aW6AtFIqcOvYokV3q-q1pGTNbZiGWXw0ytlPwjnucL8igJDsAZrFOzSfBxiX8Ay9zXmrZ02jr9MPYaZ4yJFjDcYz66pQfPiscL__KB8V2Hv7X/s927/BOTTEGAVENETAFloor3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="509" data-original-width="927" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7WWDQe81oTscHZLJRS-b0ZMg9mjZIIWEJdFe4TxIfPTPSRfrVWwVd3AGc4dcTyaqoy0FnlD1uVm3U1x2aW6AtFIqcOvYokV3q-q1pGTNbZiGWXw0ytlPwjnucL8igJDsAZrFOzSfBxiX8Ay9zXmrZ02jr9MPYaZ4yJFjDcYz66pQfPiscL__KB8V2Hv7X/s16000/BOTTEGAVENETAFloor3.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The store is similar to the other releases this season, there are 3 floors and a total of 16 female looks and 1 male look. I really love the vibes in this release, there is generally a more minimal feel to it and such a great mix of colours too - I think everyone will find something for their own styles in this one! Starting with the accessories, there are 7 pairs of shoes to choose from with a few different style options. I am quite drawn in by both the <b>Silver</b> and <b>Gold Metallic Long Boots</b>, these just look fantastic. While there have been similar tall silver and gold boots available before, these have been on limited releases, so it's good to have another option there. These have a really nice pointed toe and a pretty slim fit on the leg. The <b>White</b> and <b>Ribbon Adam Sandals</b> are also an option in different colours, I really love both options and am really struggling to choose which to get, they're both super fresh for the Spring/Summer season. The floral design on these strappy heels is great and really reminds me of Summer styles from maybe 10 or so years ago. For something less Summery or statement, there are also some heel options. The <b>Knotted Leather Bordeaux Mules</b> are really beautiful, the style is something completely unique and for me the knot design immediately reminds me of the brand. The <b>Rocket 90 Leather Mules</b> are a very cool option, love the combination of styles here with the backless look, pointed toe, square front and angled heel - there's a lot going on but I think these will make for some super cool boss-girl looks^ In terms of bags there are 5 to choose from but most in the same design, although this is a very classic one for the brand. The <b>Red</b>, <b>Gold</b> and <b>Black Sardine Leather Minibags</b> all look great, I love the gold handle detail on these and think the quilting knotted style has been done very nicely, the slouch looks great and it's something I think I've been missing in the bags on offer in the Plaza recently. The colour options are really nice, I'm struggling again to choose which one to go for. The <b>Mini Jodie Handbag</b> is also in a very similar style, but has a beaded design all over, this is a cute option for something a little quirkier. And I'm also incredibly tempted by the last option, the <b>Small Black Kalimero Bag</b>, it's both simple and unique, love a good black option with some details, and the size and strap length are great. The release has a number of pairs of sunglasses, it's torture because I want them all XD Both the <b>Black Oval Sunglasses</b> and <b>Brown Cat Eye Hem Shades</b> are great neutral, classic options - the cat eyes in particular are definitely something more unique though especially being in a dark brown, which really attracts me to them. For something more different the <i>Oval Sunglasses</i> also come in <b>Yellow</b> and <b>Kiwi</b> options, the yellow is definitely on the pale side, so this is what I am leaning to between these two pairs. The last pieces to mention are the jewellery options, there are two pairs of earrings, the <b>Silver H Beam Earrings</b> and the <b>Gold H Heam Earrings</b>, both have a really nice simple but different style to them and are really nice options to have to include in a look. The silver pair are also in SCs.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtBu0aOKoCMI1pBdVkmaMlSa0-nyQ-nwTGFxGy4y6dPdRuhta7FtFvksObap-hCUzo93q-x3h7e0PiCmmvBKgB-fbLV5_z5vupFRQza0Y14J8VscDRzjFQEkIwAH3IbIc28aYT1BlgxzfSHMfFyF0wYJ7xEs6tf1SW_s-yp7ZSTn7svC-UvAejzyNlJjjO/s650/BOTTEGAFrame.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtBu0aOKoCMI1pBdVkmaMlSa0-nyQ-nwTGFxGy4y6dPdRuhta7FtFvksObap-hCUzo93q-x3h7e0PiCmmvBKgB-fbLV5_z5vupFRQza0Y14J8VscDRzjFQEkIwAH3IbIc28aYT1BlgxzfSHMfFyF0wYJ7xEs6tf1SW_s-yp7ZSTn7svC-UvAejzyNlJjjO/s16000/BOTTEGAFrame.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Onto the clothing, and I'm honestly overwhelmed, there are so many pieces to look at and consider! The first floor of the store is the browns, and warm tones. As an orange-loving gal, I'm drawn in immediately by the <b>Orange Leather Dress</b>! The sheen on it is amazing and I love the mix of a leather texture with such a folded piece with an oversized style. I really love the brown tones too, and they're such gorgeous pieces. The <b>Draped Neck Leather Dress</b> is super sleek, love the fitted midi style then the looser design at the neckline. And the <b>Brown Leather Midi Dress</b> has beautiful gathering on the front as well as a lovely midi length - do I really need 2 brown midi dresses? No, definitely not, but I'm struggling to choose which to pick! The second floor is blues, whites and greys, just a really lovely mix of colours and pieces here. I love both navy and white, so I think this is the floor for me haha. The <b>Double Leather Trench Coat</b> really combines the two perfectly, this is almost like a dream coat for me in RL too, I really love the design of it, the mix of the colours and where they are in the design, and the fit on the doll is nice and slightly oversized but not too much. Sticking with whites, I also adore the <b>White Sheer Cotton Dress</b>, this is such a beautiful piece and I was sold on it as soon as I'd seen it in the advertising. It's minimal but super stylish and I think will be a great versatile piece for Spring and Summer. With the blues, of course the <b>Navy Leather Wrap Skirt</b> was what stood out to me the most, what a beautiful piece! This has a just over the knee length and has a lovely fit on the doll, I like the wrap design, and of course the colour. While it's a minimal piece, it's definitely not like anything we've had before in the Plaza. The <b>Blue Jacket</b> and <b>Pants</b> co-ord is a cute set, I like the denim vibe it has and I'm so glad it's a set and not a jumpsuit because I think these are super versatile pieces that will work well together and separately. I'm especially a fan of the <b>Pants</b>, these have a lovely straight leg fit on the doll, nice pleating and a good length. The greys aren't so much my thing, but I can see the <b>Slubbed Melange Blazer</b> and <b>Pleated Melange Miniskirt</b> being a popular co-ord, again these pieces will work really well both together and separately and the designs are very trendy ones currently. The final floor has a bit of a mix of designs and styles - a little of everything^ I really like a lot of things on offer here, I'm first drawn to the look right in the middle pairing the <b>Toscana Shearling Cropped Blouson</b> and the <b>Leather Culotte Trousers</b>, these look fab together but I have so many ideas already for these pieces, super versatile for sure! I also really love the <b>Black Structured Coat</b> and I think it's such a great idea to have the <b>Green Corset</b> Separately, this means that you have so many options to add the green detail to, but at the same time have a great black coat that's minimal and can work in so many different ways - this is such a fun touch and I hope it's something we see more of.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>F E A T U R E S</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-G-Hprgt02pHma3D-RZGyBfC6QctEx0EifEQE5JuyIJnn6YnYJhgWVEKizG4d54ESU_DSBPWtr1Bb_deF8mXFfPplTCOil0X1L1xt1GhQ9ZeIjYWQlGXjcLCT9gZZJ7iHs44MEyo_pjdZ3QV7r65STiwmyDV-0RqYJDBtRdJkYhiNQxwYDP6gP1IofrGq/s650/BOTTEGAcrolDOTdany.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-G-Hprgt02pHma3D-RZGyBfC6QctEx0EifEQE5JuyIJnn6YnYJhgWVEKizG4d54ESU_DSBPWtr1Bb_deF8mXFfPplTCOil0X1L1xt1GhQ9ZeIjYWQlGXjcLCT9gZZJ7iHs44MEyo_pjdZ3QV7r65STiwmyDV-0RqYJDBtRdJkYhiNQxwYDP6gP1IofrGq/s16000/BOTTEGAcrolDOTdany.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">First up in the features is <b><i>carol.dany</i></b> wearing the <b>Pleated Melange Miniskirt</b> in this cute preppy styling - I love the mix of greys and pinks^ The skirt looks great with this blazer, the two prints are a very close match. I love the tweed vest and the pinks it adds to the look, along with the lace skirt, that really looks fab layered over the skirt and then the pleats at the bottom - super cute^</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3fZjLINr0D1z7IlMo5FGImZbwP2gtGl97CLjgH4MRMNA_sn6e5aKKdYcuZDWTvMe07P-Ox8fKXu46SfBMgLJ4mLhGZsZ-KdXqfylQ8ON6m7G8ojQUmYRboC0jK8FewVW_QRZ7CsEQWkWN04f6_xGWIHd9Vt1qS-hqL9oC0BsHTgFYVNWt0UsMpI4jJ5s_/s650/BOTTEGAharpie.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3fZjLINr0D1z7IlMo5FGImZbwP2gtGl97CLjgH4MRMNA_sn6e5aKKdYcuZDWTvMe07P-Ox8fKXu46SfBMgLJ4mLhGZsZ-KdXqfylQ8ON6m7G8ojQUmYRboC0jK8FewVW_QRZ7CsEQWkWN04f6_xGWIHd9Vt1qS-hqL9oC0BsHTgFYVNWt0UsMpI4jJ5s_/s16000/BOTTEGAharpie.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Next is <b><i>harpie</i></b> going for something super simple but incredibly on point in the <b>White Sheer Cotton Dress</b>, <b>Gold Sardine Leather Minibag</b> and the <b>Ribbon Adam Sandal</b> - these pieces all look great together but do stand out in the styling. The dress has layered very nicely with these other similarly designed pieces of clothing, I really love it as a layer in there. The white tones make for a great base for all options of accessories, the pinks and golds together are beautiful, I'm especially loving the earrings and sunglasses combination!</div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGkwGb3QpmVxXyP89j9WBx8FfWdJYulLnGKWrLkMIwSKI_E2phuyDOOyMzshpi_a0PvIRRLT2V2T5cQ5ROw5F5e_6HmokQn8cmZ8GQcur3KnhYMQb3QRx4kRGov81M4MYqEFg42TupCbaXKfIfj-V5josCJ7dC31erXq9KiTKGw0ftFOBYWsuaQ8WvspvX/s650/BOTTEGAmeryDOT-.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGkwGb3QpmVxXyP89j9WBx8FfWdJYulLnGKWrLkMIwSKI_E2phuyDOOyMzshpi_a0PvIRRLT2V2T5cQ5ROw5F5e_6HmokQn8cmZ8GQcur3KnhYMQb3QRx4kRGov81M4MYqEFg42TupCbaXKfIfj-V5josCJ7dC31erXq9KiTKGw0ftFOBYWsuaQ8WvspvX/s16000/BOTTEGAmeryDOT-.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I love the Autumnal vibes in this next look from <b><i>mery.-</i></b> who wears the <b>Brown Leather Midi Dress</b> - such a creative idea with this piece, the look really sells it to me! This shade of brown looks amazing with the yellow of the top underneath, such complementary colours to each other and I love the collar and frilling on the top too. The accessories added are perfect for both pieces, that belting is perfection there in both colour and style, and the boots are an amazing colour match for the dress =)</div></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTrgCFH67NInxiJSZQMYTTqHnpO8wAJEohj4-j6ReUQaNBQpEBj_jnAhZ4okGoQ3T-n-kPRGRL0DrybLFGgJUxVUenmKIg4W1iM8Cu9rLJQber402JC9CL6zF8EDfFLff-x0lHbf4VlsSxkZgC7SNgTTX9RtrMZApcZBgeAaCz6mnfNWvQadw7pjxQZuKV/s650/BOTTEGAmillaxx.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTrgCFH67NInxiJSZQMYTTqHnpO8wAJEohj4-j6ReUQaNBQpEBj_jnAhZ4okGoQ3T-n-kPRGRL0DrybLFGgJUxVUenmKIg4W1iM8Cu9rLJQber402JC9CL6zF8EDfFLff-x0lHbf4VlsSxkZgC7SNgTTX9RtrMZApcZBgeAaCz6mnfNWvQadw7pjxQZuKV/s16000/BOTTEGAmillaxx.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A second look with the <b>Brown Leather Midi Dress</b>, this time from <b><i>millaxx</i></b> and really highlighting great versatility in this piece! The brown really pops well against the smart white of the shirt, the styles of the two pieces are very nice together. The black touches in the accessories also work well for this outfit and I think they're balanced just right not to overpower the highlighting of the dress - I especially love the style of these boots and also the bag design, it's super pretty with the leather on the dress =D</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvvtSq-cu7qaQldXyTSbwRnSlI8HUR3zYEzz5oIwGXKnrKEYnpx9n1FtSSLQdVWaS5rE1LKat0l-jSLYAOLaTsSQZzppl1Y_OyxCoU7ehcf07K5r88ztI2KWFwfEDFcai74FUCHvUT8fBBNwCuAG9A3vhnQQYieBO6bB_b73lN4IRddVkTE1SEUKR-iLms/s650/BOTTEGAthe_chuba.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvvtSq-cu7qaQldXyTSbwRnSlI8HUR3zYEzz5oIwGXKnrKEYnpx9n1FtSSLQdVWaS5rE1LKat0l-jSLYAOLaTsSQZzppl1Y_OyxCoU7ehcf07K5r88ztI2KWFwfEDFcai74FUCHvUT8fBBNwCuAG9A3vhnQQYieBO6bB_b73lN4IRddVkTE1SEUKR-iLms/s16000/BOTTEGAthe_chuba.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The penultimate feature is from <b><i>the _chuba</i></b> who styles the <b>Black Oval Sunglasses</b>, <b>Slubbed Melange Blazer</b> and <b>Blue Pants</b> in this very Scandi-chic look, I love it^ I love that the co-ord pieces are mix-and-matched in this outfit, they look fab together. The casual additions like the printed tee and the trainers are great here, the trouser fit and length in particular is perfect with this shoe choice.

This is now our third release from this <a href="https://thestardolllookbook.blogspot.com/search/label/Y%2FProject">brand</a>, but it's been a couple of years since the last one. I do always feel a bit on the fence about these releases, it's not a brand I follow and generally the pieces aren't so much my style but I've made good use from some of the accessories in the past. For me, this release really isn't my thing - but I will say that it's the largest we've had from the brand, so if it's a favourite for you, then this is a huge step up. There is a reasonable range in the store with a mix of colours and styles and there are a few pieces I've picked up to try out, but I don't really have enough to say to warrant a full review.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7QjCWp22gT5EsQl1IC-X-TBOoOJbMPopzd221r6XjRIHe2jGauoBSRC6Ve4JdSI-W7-JQVWVoVfwlFEmfjEsCRDvG2ii1N9cTZUTvU83uinASHB3q5KNY6sv4T55pxfBf_8BJWVVDSIfHTcxrsy7lmOsose_3YgySTs_CuNV3KcdpSd8zDWBtDRe4ZgzW/s926/YPROJECTFloor1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="508" data-original-width="926" height="110" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7QjCWp22gT5EsQl1IC-X-TBOoOJbMPopzd221r6XjRIHe2jGauoBSRC6Ve4JdSI-W7-JQVWVoVfwlFEmfjEsCRDvG2ii1N9cTZUTvU83uinASHB3q5KNY6sv4T55pxfBf_8BJWVVDSIfHTcxrsy7lmOsose_3YgySTs_CuNV3KcdpSd8zDWBtDRe4ZgzW/w200-h110/YPROJECTFloor1.png" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzbYhWT5_HwoXvcf9nxT0YJNMVTg88K7-ItxAm4EwfPpL7wGj0OSSlxuVQMlGEVh0nLoBdaQ5i3Ik62GZlFj2Eb0sd0iQVQP_o66dif-6hwmGDqjOwgLW8iNGsV-fouaaxR-xi9pb0kfS-ZfTEHuDtBqccX1k81OYxxpMxC8k7tRDeoTdCF7VK7gkVjn8X/s926/YPROJECTFloor2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="508" data-original-width="926" height="110" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzbYhWT5_HwoXvcf9nxT0YJNMVTg88K7-ItxAm4EwfPpL7wGj0OSSlxuVQMlGEVh0nLoBdaQ5i3Ik62GZlFj2Eb0sd0iQVQP_o66dif-6hwmGDqjOwgLW8iNGsV-fouaaxR-xi9pb0kfS-ZfTEHuDtBqccX1k81OYxxpMxC8k7tRDeoTdCF7VK7gkVjn8X/w200-h110/YPROJECTFloor2.png" width="200" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim5y1scQtAhSIqfAU1g_Zpq7gMWxmkCq8Zn5YEP25jcDzbZ22QF7D0Bnx2BGZktQVS90FJ-p_yhl7AYlyNfD9p3FWqLq1sO7wVAkFm50LckJhVn1yAuKwWLZKqwGxzzd_iUIiZaPbpXKvx2BDR25Q-mbkojeoirdB-lucN7lFHs-69HZTDBKo7gm2_BYbR/s926/YPROJECTFloor3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="508" data-original-width="926" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim5y1scQtAhSIqfAU1g_Zpq7gMWxmkCq8Zn5YEP25jcDzbZ22QF7D0Bnx2BGZktQVS90FJ-p_yhl7AYlyNfD9p3FWqLq1sO7wVAkFm50LckJhVn1yAuKwWLZKqwGxzzd_iUIiZaPbpXKvx2BDR25Q-mbkojeoirdB-lucN7lFHs-69HZTDBKo7gm2_BYbR/s16000/YPROJECTFloor3.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">First up, the <b>Blue Paris Best Tote Bag</b> which I thought looked like a really nice versatile bag that's a little something different, I definitely don't have many bag options in denim! I like the pale wash and worn style to it, and also really like the size for a tote bag. But I'm sure you know me, and those little orange details definitely had a role in drawing me to this piece! I actually thought I had some denim clothing in a similar wash, but turns out I don't, so not the look I had originally imagined, but I think it works well to both incorporate the bag but also highlight it. The orange is easy for me to work with and I think these blue heels are a decent match for the blue of the body of the bag. Super cute smart-casual styling with denim^ Next is the <b>Fur Trimmed Jacket</b> which I bought on a bit of a whim because I thought it would be really fun, but I wasn't sure it's very me - I'm so glad I bought it because I really love it on my doll! I did want to use some brown tones in the look to match the fur, but really swayed towards the black this time and I think it works nicely in highlighting the tones of the fur. I kept it pretty simple, but the light trousers definitely make it more into Spring. Even included this previous Y/Project bag and I think it's a great piece here^ And the final pieces, the <b>Leather Coat</b> and <b>B&W Scarf</b> together, these work perfectly as you can see in the store. Another super simple styling because all the focus should be on that amazing scarf - I don't typically go for scarves, but I love the chunky style of this one and the simple colours and design. Of course I chose white trousers and some accessories and they really do make the scarf print pop. The light fabric of these trousers also works well to highlight the leather fabric of the coat.

It's not a brand I really am familiar with, but I know many users are fans so hopefully this meets their expectations. Again the advertising is in line with the previous releases of this season, I do think the looks on the mannequins aren't so much my thing, but let's get on inside and see what the whole collection has to offer:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglQSLRIzCa8Sfk8X7bD9hAXYonMlxym-ac3wAXhJ-G3wsoYVlrl1fVEmCmKCvHwNMG-ZpdZmqZC6xIqTeBMs-gkhoKlStwoQt1WGIuTa87leDuADY7XGJxyCcN-3qsE4jS5hvIjNdrKpBqpAu6xq3mGxYh0VqXq1FpGOfwLYMyN4Bfp83B5h3eMhcZMJfs/s925/MAISONMARGIELAFloor1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="508" data-original-width="925" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglQSLRIzCa8Sfk8X7bD9hAXYonMlxym-ac3wAXhJ-G3wsoYVlrl1fVEmCmKCvHwNMG-ZpdZmqZC6xIqTeBMs-gkhoKlStwoQt1WGIuTa87leDuADY7XGJxyCcN-3qsE4jS5hvIjNdrKpBqpAu6xq3mGxYh0VqXq1FpGOfwLYMyN4Bfp83B5h3eMhcZMJfs/s16000/MAISONMARGIELAFloor1.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGWuYYgy2gxVKy5bN4x_yjfB2FFHyp8bsAdCqx6YIO5MeUuLrcGsoua2vTgn_EKucV_t1p_PaO2BuyDcpoo0V_N4GEA9stoKJV3Q1LIHHrl5KbXpq01M_GSzPMdAtJzQhkBv6-1zn4dxKCX8jIzAYp0Y6LjscZsJwPMEmHhv2Sa0lnflE6PxX1pJvyRRAr/s925/MAISONMARGIELAFloor2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="508" data-original-width="925" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGWuYYgy2gxVKy5bN4x_yjfB2FFHyp8bsAdCqx6YIO5MeUuLrcGsoua2vTgn_EKucV_t1p_PaO2BuyDcpoo0V_N4GEA9stoKJV3Q1LIHHrl5KbXpq01M_GSzPMdAtJzQhkBv6-1zn4dxKCX8jIzAYp0Y6LjscZsJwPMEmHhv2Sa0lnflE6PxX1pJvyRRAr/s16000/MAISONMARGIELAFloor2.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAnEfgKXibWbm2TmRpag0qclpi8GcKEZ2coi2ZiLJDr8p7s-VtxOebM-cdJIUPW6KVU0PRev1yXimByWg2byPMdTrxZP4Vr8xFiLFRkoXaIyvRhcHlwE_4gMyZ0EkVlx6j3nHZ_GzWAfKFtddq248Rz3Owa5LpA-ViZalEB6vS5Z-2cV0UViLAGkXxxRIK/s925/MAISONMARGIELAFloor3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="508" data-original-width="925" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAnEfgKXibWbm2TmRpag0qclpi8GcKEZ2coi2ZiLJDr8p7s-VtxOebM-cdJIUPW6KVU0PRev1yXimByWg2byPMdTrxZP4Vr8xFiLFRkoXaIyvRhcHlwE_4gMyZ0EkVlx6j3nHZ_GzWAfKFtddq248Rz3Owa5LpA-ViZalEB6vS5Z-2cV0UViLAGkXxxRIK/s16000/MAISONMARGIELAFloor3.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fitting with the other releases this season, there are 3 floors to the collection with 14 looks for female dolls and 3 for male dolls, with several pieces styled in both male and female versions. I would say this isn't so much my style, but some of the pieces do seem to be more versatile and minimal for wearing in different ways, particularly the accessories. So starting with those, with shoes there are 3 pairs to choose from, with of course the classic <i>Tabi</i> style included. The <b>Black Tabi Ankle Boots</b> offer a versatile option to the style, they're a classic pair of heeled ankle boots and you can't really go wrong with them! Or if you want something a little different there are the <b>Tabi Broken Mirror Boots</b> which I really love, these look amazing in silver and the <i>Tabi</i> design stands out nicely on these - I'm super excited to style these up^ There are quite a number of bags to choose from, 9 in total which is a lot for a collection this size, and there really is something for everyone. The piece that really stood out to me was the <b>Japanese 6 Shoulder Bag</b>, I really like the geometric simple design to it and love the neutral colour, it's definitely a versatile piece. The <b>Dot Bag</b> is also super cute, I like the tulle overlay to it and the checked pattern combined with the dots make it unique. Plus the black and grey tones are super easy to style. The final bag I want to mention is the <b>Glam Slam Hobo Micro Velvet Merlot</b> bag, this is a very cute over the shoulder bag and I love the little size it has to it along with the fabulous deep red colour. It's quite unlike anything we've had in the Plaza recently and really stands out to me as a glamorous piece that I need to add to my wardrobe! There are a few other accessory piece in this release. If gloves are your thing, then now is your chance with 3 new pairs in a range of styles. There a just a couple of jewellery items with this one, but both are prices in SC, so won't break the bank however they're not styles I would wear as much.</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-p9o8fXONzHNM3DOf59YzPfe42ZGNc5JONX2jt2P33PtrygGRPbyruk2BtOUhHpSUCbStc6JsT0hHGA97o0o6B8_VTqRbd-A0FbUIqweVrD0GsqEFxdC8cd5IqZVfcQJrl8p4J5fQrgDfLD6qnCqpj7pulW1CSA20LaNjOaL7p9-tPji2nrqaUrV9KFsQ/s650/MAISONMARGIELAFrame.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-p9o8fXONzHNM3DOf59YzPfe42ZGNc5JONX2jt2P33PtrygGRPbyruk2BtOUhHpSUCbStc6JsT0hHGA97o0o6B8_VTqRbd-A0FbUIqweVrD0GsqEFxdC8cd5IqZVfcQJrl8p4J5fQrgDfLD6qnCqpj7pulW1CSA20LaNjOaL7p9-tPji2nrqaUrV9KFsQ/s16000/MAISONMARGIELAFrame.png" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now onto the clothing, which I did struggle a bit with choosing items compared with the accessories. The styles just aren't my preferences. The first two floors showcases a mix of pinks, greys and black, and I think the combination works really nicely and I like the mix of fabrics and textures in these pieces. There are also a couple of looks here where the pieces are available for both male and female dolls giving some really nice options. The grey tops look really nice and I think they'll actually be really versatile for stylings and will be good layering pieces - these are the <b>Tulle Frill Top</b>, <b>Gray Top</b> and <b>PVC Top</b> and give a range of grey tones and they are all tied together by a peplum style hem to the pieces. There are several other choices in grey, I think the <b>PVC Dress</b> is a good option, but would have loved to see this as a separate top and skirt, as I would definitely be up for styling a skirt like that. The <b>Dotted Skirt</b> is quite a fun piece and I think it would definitely make an outfit stand out in the crowd. The black dresses on these floors, the <b>Black Dress</b> which is a mini style, and the <b>Black Folded Dress</b> which is a longer style with a high-low hem design, are both really beautiful and are classic pieces. They really stand out to me as <i>not </i>fitting with the rest of the store and I think they'll be popular choices. I really like both of them^ The last piece to mention from these floors is the <b>Black Coat Men</b>, and this is one piece I wish came in a female fit because I think it's a beautiful coat! Love the super neutral style to it and I think it will come out top in this collection. The third floor of the store is much more daring in the styles, there are a lot of different things going on in terms of colours and fabrics. The <b>Peach Floral Coat</b> caught my eye first, I love the flowers along the hemline and the glitter peach body is cute, it's definitely a unique piece and actually I can see a lot of cute accessories combinations to pair with this piece already. The other piece that really attracted my attention on this floor were the <b>Striped Wide Leg Pants</b>, I love the colour combination and that fact that they're glittery, I was sold at first sight with these! I think they'll be super fun to style year round and will work with a few different style and colour combinations. For something more minimal there is the <b>Duvet Coat</b>, an oversized piece in white which will work with many different pieces. The <b>Burgundy Cape</b> is a piece that I think is super cool and I adore the colour and glamour to it, but I just can't see how I would style it, so I look forward to seeing what others do with this one =D</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>F E A T U R E S</b></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3xsCfH1N_qmzoLbmfbtsCCeNv1tL0AiQ777nGhu6AClTDe05fdsIVmlOGNJxppLdzVadbQR9TCE7epk_eIUuFx1wkSdz4BwIlpldMBotlecXxKgPn0F0xi4FH1OyjK_9hjapnYkJpL7336pqudp9ICf2_0506ejPbKMqfNl321o-y-LhdtrlVydIsqteS/s650/MAISONMARGIELAElrry.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3xsCfH1N_qmzoLbmfbtsCCeNv1tL0AiQ777nGhu6AClTDe05fdsIVmlOGNJxppLdzVadbQR9TCE7epk_eIUuFx1wkSdz4BwIlpldMBotlecXxKgPn0F0xi4FH1OyjK_9hjapnYkJpL7336pqudp9ICf2_0506ejPbKMqfNl321o-y-LhdtrlVydIsqteS/s16000/MAISONMARGIELAElrry.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">First up today is <b><i>Elrry</i></b> wearing the <b>Burgundy Cape</b>, <b>PVC Dress</b>,<b> Bag</b> and <b>Glam Slam Hobo Micro Velvet Merlot</b> - really I think this is a great combination! I adore how the cape looks in this outfit, looks fantastic beyond how I could even dream of styling it^ The dress looks great as a skirt here, and I think the addition of these similar red boots are perfect, really a great complement to the pieces from this release. I also love all the accessories in this one, especially the jewellery choices and the hairstyling^ </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEQTZPQC5WLkQGXOnWEN5mhUezgLroI9bMwBFQ43tiF1rCZP1pOTFrM_QPydBlqVAECKhsOktRApQCms_KKquQdkCdz7s9aAFd5st6afUfAww2Y4ArBH5dUgBinLze9Am00_jIqJonPG1mgLa3OacXKuVvgN_ooLLzC0DMkYVDzP1aV6ON9AlohNsSGqMA/s650/MAISONMARGIELABiancaDOTVos.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEQTZPQC5WLkQGXOnWEN5mhUezgLroI9bMwBFQ43tiF1rCZP1pOTFrM_QPydBlqVAECKhsOktRApQCms_KKquQdkCdz7s9aAFd5st6afUfAww2Y4ArBH5dUgBinLze9Am00_jIqJonPG1mgLa3OacXKuVvgN_ooLLzC0DMkYVDzP1aV6ON9AlohNsSGqMA/s16000/MAISONMARGIELABiancaDOTVos.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Next is <b><i>Bianca.Vos</i></b> going simple and stylish with the <b>Black Dress</b> in a styling which is perfect to show off this piece and show off the versatility of the simplicity^ The layering of the mini with the ruffled skirting is perfect, the details in both skirtings are really complementary to each other, in fact it's a seamless combination. The accessories are minimal but perfection for this outfit, I especially love how great these gloves go with the outfit, it almost makes me want to be into gloves now =D</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1VyOKvGsuqyrjFKnOh60S8fllmAXO6UPWbcP4kWrjJQ3hvHy4mI-IUrwWviiBjyv4lJJjWXw_BvwQsoiCMjfXXbHBlDyeWGKuho3e7AkD75KJ3ofLcYnjarZTNfj1e46y8__K8Jbc8dl3Jd-aQWsGzjABfwPdXj8o-tMhs9f6mIXq98wXiBshusG55zlp/s650/MAISONMARGIELAharpie.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1VyOKvGsuqyrjFKnOh60S8fllmAXO6UPWbcP4kWrjJQ3hvHy4mI-IUrwWviiBjyv4lJJjWXw_BvwQsoiCMjfXXbHBlDyeWGKuho3e7AkD75KJ3ofLcYnjarZTNfj1e46y8__K8Jbc8dl3Jd-aQWsGzjABfwPdXj8o-tMhs9f6mIXq98wXiBshusG55zlp/s16000/MAISONMARGIELAharpie.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On the brighter side of stylings, <i><b>harpie</b></i> wears the <b>Tulle Frill Top</b> in a look which really reminds me of styles from many years ago on Stardoll, I really love it!

The top looks great layered over the green silk, really it doesn't even look like two pieces, these items were totally made for each other. The style contrast with the floaty tulle <i>Dior </i>dress is beautiful, and the tulle still shows some of the bodice of the top off - really love the surprise versatility of this piece!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCGDAsdrFngHjOVKW0p4WsSZO3xrYIbupWKV_LMW-AvfjKRNMbeuZlv_oDeWqs3uwhg5SldKa84oLAmfOh_GVGpD0WJUz88YmhlxoT8cv2Ulf0RXq72HWg8B6pDL6l_BIepsLg2q5z8nE8SEK1Id1UPZM4XjzgaW61yqF2wDzzLYQsE7Y7pngh35ej3VIy/s650/MAISONMARGIELAaura.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCGDAsdrFngHjOVKW0p4WsSZO3xrYIbupWKV_LMW-AvfjKRNMbeuZlv_oDeWqs3uwhg5SldKa84oLAmfOh_GVGpD0WJUz88YmhlxoT8cv2Ulf0RXq72HWg8B6pDL6l_BIepsLg2q5z8nE8SEK1Id1UPZM4XjzgaW61yqF2wDzzLYQsE7Y7pngh35ej3VIy/s16000/MAISONMARGIELAaura.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And the final feature is from <b><i>AURA</i></b> who wears the <b>Duvet Coat</b> and looks super cosy doing so^ This is a great Winter-Spring transition look, it's still cosy but bringing florals into the mix, this specific print is great with the light flowers in it.

I love the consistency in the advertising between the releases this year, I really like it for the season and I think it works nicely to try and tie the releases together. The looks on the advertising are mixed in style with a range of colours - but do all seem on the glam side. It's our third time having a <i>Schiaparelli</i> release and I'm looking forward to diving in to see what this one brings to the Plaza:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM9475ccRiQq6L_C6062_vM9lfQH_fV1gUFdU2tqblf4VEi6fkOyHflWzWud2Gq0YkhvLQBkrbwHnYF1UZP-6-yaYBomwhURbWGRK1tlGv_MIxhAFtVq6CsUf5h_77lceJkStWO7l0j-qV8iWrmR9WjelPOY3TygWm9oQ9fgaPf508sj_a4QIL1FfyUNB3/s925/SCHIPFloor1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="508" data-original-width="925" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM9475ccRiQq6L_C6062_vM9lfQH_fV1gUFdU2tqblf4VEi6fkOyHflWzWud2Gq0YkhvLQBkrbwHnYF1UZP-6-yaYBomwhURbWGRK1tlGv_MIxhAFtVq6CsUf5h_77lceJkStWO7l0j-qV8iWrmR9WjelPOY3TygWm9oQ9fgaPf508sj_a4QIL1FfyUNB3/s16000/SCHIPFloor1.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwflHLi7lW0UChqv9PXQaJco4Zy0kEOFQ38DF4Tn6DxQQf33U9AI5zXHiiJ-o08CeapccV9Qeyrgi9BM4neRBK5aJtP1Dhp-su3st661ClSgoGdGQZWSL62HasgROziqDhHV4jj_Y9mykYqSUS6VRg0aaJoa01he6RVUGcD9YGuOMhOAZjj-pFQwiCSfpm/s925/SCHIPFloor2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="508" data-original-width="925" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwflHLi7lW0UChqv9PXQaJco4Zy0kEOFQ38DF4Tn6DxQQf33U9AI5zXHiiJ-o08CeapccV9Qeyrgi9BM4neRBK5aJtP1Dhp-su3st661ClSgoGdGQZWSL62HasgROziqDhHV4jj_Y9mykYqSUS6VRg0aaJoa01he6RVUGcD9YGuOMhOAZjj-pFQwiCSfpm/s16000/SCHIPFloor2.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZzaQETp4cymkL2pIJk00UifjehlLYjb17a4Lmf61MlpeISIe5OSsrnP6ZKuNa1kVDMVNc_xPo2Chyphenhyphen2qGrW2DA4Wlx4oFcwAxU4lemQvVp6gyisS5WMsnsekY4j_-SjULq1za6W23punRpokw6O1RQNo4QwGbAfyaVWMpcu_zygB4L41FF9tUFfWpfGFDW/s925/SCHIPFloor3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="508" data-original-width="925" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZzaQETp4cymkL2pIJk00UifjehlLYjb17a4Lmf61MlpeISIe5OSsrnP6ZKuNa1kVDMVNc_xPo2Chyphenhyphen2qGrW2DA4Wlx4oFcwAxU4lemQvVp6gyisS5WMsnsekY4j_-SjULq1za6W23punRpokw6O1RQNo4QwGbAfyaVWMpcu_zygB4L41FF9tUFfWpfGFDW/s16000/SCHIPFloor3.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For me, this <i>Schiaparelli Tribute</i> really shines - compared to the previous collections it's much larger and I think there's a much better range of pieces in all categories included, there's much more that works for me in the release compared to previous ones, so I'm impressed! Like the <a href="https://thestardolllookbook.blogspot.com/2024/01/i-n-s-p-i-r-e-d-b-y-l-e-x-n-d-e-r-m-c-q.html">McQueen Tribute</a>, there are 3 floors here, and a total of 18 looks to choose from (no male styles this time). With that many pieces, I think everyone could find something that suits their own style and preferences. Starting with the accessories. There are only 3 pairs to choose between, but these seem very versatile and suit all of the mannequin outfits in the store. I really love the <b>Patent Leather Keyhole Pumps</b>, the black and gold combination is a classic, and I really like the pointed toe design. These also come in <b>Nude</b> if you prefer that colour combination. I also really like that these tie in well with the keyhole design feature of the first <a href="https://thestardolllookbook.blogspot.com/2021/03/i-n-s-p-i-r-e-d-b-y-s-c-h-i-p-r-e-l-l-i.html">Schiaparelli</a> release. There are 2 bags in the release, which isn't many for the number of looks, but both are super cool pieces. The <b>Red Triple Anatomy Jewelry Bag</b> has such a fun design on a bold red base. I love the structure to the design and think that overall this piece really stands out as a <i>Schiaparelli</i> design. Then there is the <b>Mini Anatomy Embroidered Bag</b> which I just had to buy - I love the intricate jewelled detail all over the front and all in gold, as someone who loves and wears plenty of gold accessories, I know this will work well in my collection! There are also a couple of belts to choose from, personally I adore the <b>Gilded Gold Belt</b> which is slim around the body then has a large and detailed front buckle. It's really a stunning piece. And then this release has quite an extensive number of jewellery pieces. With the exception of 1 item, the rest all have both BP and suite versions which I really love having that option of. There are several necklaces to choose from, with the majority being in gold so I'm all pleased about that. I particularly like the <b>Fleur De Lis Necklace</b> which wraps around the back of the neck, and also the <b>Curb Chain Necklace</b> which combines white and gold in a more simple design. There are also some bangles to choose from, these aren't so much things that I wear but the <b>Keyhole Cuff Bracelet</b> is available in SCs and has a nice classic black and gold design alongside a gold keyhole on the body. And the last piece I have to mention in this category are the <b>Keyhole Pierced Ear Earrings</b>, these are the only earrings in the collection but are also in SCs. The design on these is super intricate and I think they really look great on the doll so I'm excited to see how these can work into many different looks.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfWIyBnulyaQNlQez_0_vUiShKWvSBf5sORU9d8-QSFyiUone1ngunMkiSd7KtVLf4qQzIt2dkvVItngTikKZ6dA7WmTQPBXUfhbzUPKBSIUyPVW0mwv2y_QW76j7nDs0onyWNqLcILSUoYZ5RQ4Zcejo0KuNxHGj3tnQLxJRmeZ5hWm9_6bQcsHIoXRRO/s650/SCHIPFrame.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfWIyBnulyaQNlQez_0_vUiShKWvSBf5sORU9d8-QSFyiUone1ngunMkiSd7KtVLf4qQzIt2dkvVItngTikKZ6dA7WmTQPBXUfhbzUPKBSIUyPVW0mwv2y_QW76j7nDs0onyWNqLcILSUoYZ5RQ4Zcejo0KuNxHGj3tnQLxJRmeZ5hWm9_6bQcsHIoXRRO/s16000/SCHIPFrame.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Next onto the clothing which I will do by floor. I really love the selection available overall, and for me, this is a stand out collection. The first floor is all about colour, there's a wide range to choose from and really the colours pull your attention all over the place. The blue of the <b>Cobalt Blue Skirt</b> and <b>Blue Body Paint Top</b> really pops and catches my eye first - these aren't so much my style of clothing, but I love this colour a lot. Now I do love the multi-coloured pieces on this floor, the <b>High Waist Embroidered Skirt</b> is such a fun maxi skirt in rainbow colours, I love the glitter effect on this one too, plus the waistline is super cool. I also like the simple <b>Sleeveless Turtleneck</b> that it's paired with too, really inspires me with styling ideas. And then there's also the <b>Crochet Puzzle Dress</b> which is such a fun and unique piece, the colours are fantastic on this and I really like the long sleeved midi-length style. Of course there are also more neutral tones in the <b>Corset Lace Dress</b> which is a very pretty pale pink, this has a very nice corset and lace design to it. The second floor is a mix of neutrals and metallics - I love that combination a lot! Of course I am drawn to the gold tones of the <b>Gold Cardigan</b> and <b>Gold Stretch Skirt</b>, these are fab in the middle of the floor and I'm really excited to work with these and see how others choose to style them. If silver is more your thing then there is the co-ord of the <b>Mirror Jacket</b> and <b>Mirror Skirt</b>, but also the <b>Leaf And Rhinestones Bib</b> which will be a great layering piece. I also love the <b>Liquid Effect Black Miniskirt</b>, it's fab on the mannequin but will also be a great party-style basic for styling, I'm excited to work with this. There are also some coats on this floor and I love the drama they bring. I really love the base design of the <b>Wide Sleeved Cream Coat</b> but don't like the added black mermaid skirting on it, for me it doesn't make it as wearable, but the design is still lovely. The <b>Wide Collar Coat</b> is certainly more wearable, it's also super detailed, there's a furry collar and so many gold additions, it's a very nice piece. And the final floor is mostly focussed on black pieces, of course with gold touches. There are also a couple of really great minimal options on this floor - the <b>High Waisted Large Trousers</b> are a great flowing pair of trousers, they have a nice fit on the doll and the gold is on the minimal side, the <b>Black Skirt</b> is also simple being only in a black velvet but with a slight elaborate touch in the voluminous waist, this is such a fun detail, and finally in this category I must also mention the <b>Cropped Black Wool Jacket</b>, it does have some small subtle details and the oversizing in the shoulders is fantastic! Bringing a little silver to the collection is the <b>Pearl Top</b>, this is a gorgeous one-shouldered piece, it's oozing glam^ And the final items to include here are a little more casual, the <b>Breasts Short Jacket</b> and <b>Archives Knitted Miniskirt</b> co-ord are stand out for their funky printed design in black and white. These are really super cute pieces =)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>F E A T U R E S</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGhSwooZYU2BwSyVkGjZU7aaP-68FgIEoRbIUDrIXy3wvX61csATWG2Yaxv2YoB0ugs2ocCpX4iboXzKxzPhF5s0tpaddDvo9pihX3mBl9TZrkNl6H_uDjbaAsaOUZ0Mv4EzbqSQrr9iCSF0fFWtTZ8SQDxJL735GhfCKB94rE9f-xYq0lwlvvsbqOhs4y/s650/SCHIPleiona_-.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGhSwooZYU2BwSyVkGjZU7aaP-68FgIEoRbIUDrIXy3wvX61csATWG2Yaxv2YoB0ugs2ocCpX4iboXzKxzPhF5s0tpaddDvo9pihX3mBl9TZrkNl6H_uDjbaAsaOUZ0Mv4EzbqSQrr9iCSF0fFWtTZ8SQDxJL735GhfCKB94rE9f-xYq0lwlvvsbqOhs4y/s16000/SCHIPleiona_-.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">First up in the features is <b><i>leiona_-</i></b> who uses quite a number of the pieces, the <b>Black Skirt</b>, <b>Sleeveless Turtleneck</b>, <b>Mini Anatomy Embroidered Bag</b>, <b>Keyhole Pierced Ear Earrings</b> and <b>Pierced Mouth Necklace</b> - everything works great together! I love the slim and mesh style to the tops used in the look, that really helps to emphasise the oversizing of the skirt waistline. The accessories all look great, the white and gold really pop against the black base of the clothing, and all those necklaces layer perfectly, now that is a skill^</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDYOx7YcmX0V6kf9oK40xJQJ7UtxsW7KQuFcelhxukVac5DQwHTJv6q-vE0bjcnGWt9ps_mxScpJ88B8f2HSs4toPnLHipX_ZJFf_P-l3TYU7t2Vv9IViqziL54byu0fgkp99T-FUo89Wf03B1_dWD84Km_vg2MHB9OrcbX3KU7sNbyIercDXpZlQctC6D/s650/SCHIPharpie.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDYOx7YcmX0V6kf9oK40xJQJ7UtxsW7KQuFcelhxukVac5DQwHTJv6q-vE0bjcnGWt9ps_mxScpJ88B8f2HSs4toPnLHipX_ZJFf_P-l3TYU7t2Vv9IViqziL54byu0fgkp99T-FUo89Wf03B1_dWD84Km_vg2MHB9OrcbX3KU7sNbyIercDXpZlQctC6D/s16000/SCHIPharpie.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Next up is <b><i>harpie</i></b> who wears the co-ord of the <b>Mirror Jacket</b> and <b>Mirror Skirt</b> in this silver-centric styling^ The pieces look great worn underneath another item, especially the sleeves, I think they look great with this tunic dress.

Starting off we have <i>Inspired By Alexander McQueen</i> - a brand which is no stranger to the Tribute releases as we've had a few before. I love the advertising for this one, the pink is super eye-catching and looks very chic and I like the simplicity of 3 mannequins with looks on. These are three extravagant dresses, but I think they highlight a mix of styles and colours for the collection. Let's dive on in!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy_vMK34cB55C3Hxcna_VimXVYGQLp8g4YL9wTisTXlgaNYr-SE5LeS4gQHthIQ4e9Avms_HRGffbhyphenhyphenccVetdKfRSm5j3EKGAvN3epFQLcipf0dwrV5hvx2IMfYujrxld25jeAxNvtDLdZX_SSxwaM7WDXaZyNLTQWrf58j0DyxjQqy0KfdFZ6opA82mdY/s927/McQueenTRIBUTEJan2024FLOOR1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="508" data-original-width="927" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy_vMK34cB55C3Hxcna_VimXVYGQLp8g4YL9wTisTXlgaNYr-SE5LeS4gQHthIQ4e9Avms_HRGffbhyphenhyphenccVetdKfRSm5j3EKGAvN3epFQLcipf0dwrV5hvx2IMfYujrxld25jeAxNvtDLdZX_SSxwaM7WDXaZyNLTQWrf58j0DyxjQqy0KfdFZ6opA82mdY/s16000/McQueenTRIBUTEJan2024FLOOR1.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsAuAmv9_2RPj37LcRHkW5rUCKVO4TnaGHdYcneatqPbYNw1pA2nS8K080zGeLVHvEunKGQ6qWzNbl_zV2fqa9cs3LKQoTJr1R2moIdSxxa6mnJnadYLXrfjguN1_uGoO-PgPDWlHlzsO5RFKCNjJ5QmYkHiBUf5enIrW3vJld3CzEN33g_ZwG2VNpwP35/s927/McQueenTRIBUTEJan2024FLOOR2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="508" data-original-width="927" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsAuAmv9_2RPj37LcRHkW5rUCKVO4TnaGHdYcneatqPbYNw1pA2nS8K080zGeLVHvEunKGQ6qWzNbl_zV2fqa9cs3LKQoTJr1R2moIdSxxa6mnJnadYLXrfjguN1_uGoO-PgPDWlHlzsO5RFKCNjJ5QmYkHiBUf5enIrW3vJld3CzEN33g_ZwG2VNpwP35/s16000/McQueenTRIBUTEJan2024FLOOR2.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl2vmLq3-0hrNeaKW-qmE1BBfz0DyPmGZbeLpsLjCg1YvzFuHvDCyKkjufs54MmzHjY4aH1rLA_kfVkCg2JDfvXYMfudsAhuR8HTZe5aN8g3Gj-GAfRahDRh71N2KqnZOOPhtS1Qi2gu3I0QIHvOW-ernqL6-_mfBqfdVvvZ8WBVpsHMth0D-2neDjrh4q/s927/McQueenTRIBUTEJan2024FLOOR3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="508" data-original-width="927" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl2vmLq3-0hrNeaKW-qmE1BBfz0DyPmGZbeLpsLjCg1YvzFuHvDCyKkjufs54MmzHjY4aH1rLA_kfVkCg2JDfvXYMfudsAhuR8HTZe5aN8g3Gj-GAfRahDRh71N2KqnZOOPhtS1Qi2gu3I0QIHvOW-ernqL6-_mfBqfdVvvZ8WBVpsHMth0D-2neDjrh4q/s16000/McQueenTRIBUTEJan2024FLOOR3.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This release brings us 3 floors which really are quite packed with glamour! There's a bit of everything in the 15 female and 3 male doll looks, including a few pieces priced in SC's which I think is something new. Really, what a selection we have to choose from, I'm pretty impressed so I do think the wait was kinda worth it for this one - let's hope the upcoming Tributes follow suit^ So starting with the accessories. There are 7 pairs of shoes to choose from and these are in a really nice mix of styles and colours. I'm not such a fan of the two trainers on offer, but the other pairs are pretty good. There is a choice in the heels and I think the <b>Black Twisted Armadillo Sandal</b> is a great pair, they look simple from afar but have a fabulous sparkle detail all over the straps which will really pop in an outfit as you can see in the store. But it's the boots which really have captured my attention - both the <b>Black Slash Flare Boots</b> and <b>Armadillo Bow Boots</b> are fantastic! I love the knee high, high heel style and the designs of these are great, simple yet very stylish and will work in so many different outfits - these are really something getting me excited to style the collection already. There are also 7 bags on offer and I'm really quite pleased with the selection, they give me so many styling ideas^ The first to catch my eye was the <b>Pink Bucket Bag</b>, it's just in such a cute colour and given that none of the clothes are really pink, I think it stands out very nicely. The size is just right for a bucket bag, and I like the design with the straps running around the outside of the body. The <b>Exploded Victorian Jewel Knuckle Clutch</b> is also a very beautiful bag, and reminds me of classic <i>McQueen</i> collections from years ago - I love the jewels all over it and the draped jewels off the clutch body, I really think this could be a go-to bag for those occasions when I do go for a more dressed up style. There are quite a few options in black to choose from, and in a good range of styles. I really like the handheld style with the strap draped over design of the <b>Biker Small Skull Bag</b>, but I'm not sure it's so much a piece I would wear. The <b>Black Grip Mini Bag</b> on the other hand looks more up my street, it's simple on the body but has a very nice chain and hardware detail in silver. Now that I've seen it styled (see the features below!), I'm also quite liking the <b>Bow Bag</b>, which is much larger in style than the other pieces, but stands out with it's quilted design, it's really something quite unique. There are also just a couple of other accessory pieces in the release - the <b>Black Hat</b> stands out with it's mesh design and I'm quite tempted by the <b>Silver Spike Studs Sunglasses</b>, but it's the jewellery that gave me a surprise. There are two pieces, the <b>Rich Collar Choker</b> and the <b>Drop Down Earring</b>, which are both priced in SC's, and are both very nice pieces. They're both in gold, so perfect for my preferences, and the styles are really something I haven't seen in the Plaza, at least not recently, so they're fun new jewellery options to have.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3jYJ3rKgZ6wJI2T7ef2zX_-tTrNOnVPWscaOJsKZ3_HC0eVyrzM3GQftXFPnfLD-YzkC19QcXQw4i3pzUTTRJSyscJR81n6ggdGttjr2K9F4tgRlsRTPpDuvyuPLNyJTIyRfAFN9g-zq41iQdJGStbP3Mv3BChkkD6HJRSeFq8Euc1LXqVgB2I1I5JnZl/s650/McQueenTRIBUTEJan2024Frame.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3jYJ3rKgZ6wJI2T7ef2zX_-tTrNOnVPWscaOJsKZ3_HC0eVyrzM3GQftXFPnfLD-YzkC19QcXQw4i3pzUTTRJSyscJR81n6ggdGttjr2K9F4tgRlsRTPpDuvyuPLNyJTIyRfAFN9g-zq41iQdJGStbP3Mv3BChkkD6HJRSeFq8Euc1LXqVgB2I1I5JnZl/s16000/McQueenTRIBUTEJan2024Frame.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now onto the clothing and there are so many pieces to discuss, I will just do this floor by floor to make it easier to write and also to follow along^ The first floor is mixed with navy, red and a neutral, and actually my eyes are drawn all over the place because these are all colours that I like. In navy there are 2 options, the <b>Black and Gold Dress</b> (it looks much more navy than black!) which is a mini length with long sleeves and some lovely cut-out details plus a gold plaque design on the front, and also the <b>Black Knots Dress</b> (again, this is completely navy looking and not black!) which is a knitted piece with a maxi length and a very fun unique knotted design across the top-half of the body. I really like both of these pieces, they bring different and unique ideas and both look amazing on the doll, plus I think will be really fun to accessorise. With the red pieces the styles are also quite different, the <b>Red Dress</b> is a knitted maxi with a leg split and cut-outs all over the place, and a fabulous red tone as well. I'm just not sure how much wear I'd get out of this. The <b>Embroidery Dress</b> on the otherhand makes red quite wearable, with the red being a detailed embroidered pattern on top of a neutral beige base of a midi length. I really like the overall simple style of the dress being relatively high-necked and sleeveless with the skirt length. The second floor brings much of the same colour mix as the first. For me, these red pieces are a bit less everyday-wearable and are very much statement items (the <b>Red Layered Dress</b> and <b>Red Soarkly Dress</b>), but if dressing up in a fabulous gown is your thing, then these are perfect for you! The other pieces on this floor bring a much more casual vibe and really make me happy^ The outfit of the <b>Funnel Neck Knit Jumper</b> and <b>Leather Bustier Skirt</b> just really looks amazing, super simple pieces but so stylish with subtle design details, these pieces look great together but also seem very versatile so will be great separately too - especially the sweater, that is a piece that I think could become a Tribute favourite for me. The <b>Military Trench Coat</b> also looks fantastic, I really like a trench coat in the first place, but this one definitely has a stand out style with the loose fit and the bulk to the piece above the belting, I really think it could make some amazing outfits for the Spring and Autumn seasons. The third and final floor takes another step towards glamour and really goes for the gowns and metallics - this one isn't so much my thing, but the gowns really are gorgeous pieces that have been translated beautifully from real life designs onto Stardoll. The <b>Purple Dress</b> is stunning, the deep purple tone is amazing and I'd love to see more like it in the Plaza, the design is slim fitting to the doll with a deep V neckline and flaring from the knee, plus with some very extravagant shoulder details. The <b>Silver Dress</b> is a piece that I can see being very popular, the metallic colour has been done beautifully and I know people will like the bodice style and the great draping of the skirting design.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>F E A T U R E S</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaeG5-7eGAPRsV7JdaaaEZTZVHFngomKzft4tBkTOiOd1ebdgb-EgztBE8tNjR8tVgpF8txddM5P2omm4DWUVICm1il1Ds4FnpInxJ1Cps6u5-IV_fmnHqVJygEfSupkG_t9mb1ufBUBDZAyVZjozEEjnJB0h-lpMb6CBTt_lVyH8hqe5f_-inyO2SSb_W/s650/MCQUEENBiancaDOTVos.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaeG5-7eGAPRsV7JdaaaEZTZVHFngomKzft4tBkTOiOd1ebdgb-EgztBE8tNjR8tVgpF8txddM5P2omm4DWUVICm1il1Ds4FnpInxJ1Cps6u5-IV_fmnHqVJygEfSupkG_t9mb1ufBUBDZAyVZjozEEjnJB0h-lpMb6CBTt_lVyH8hqe5f_-inyO2SSb_W/s16000/MCQUEENBiancaDOTVos.png" /></a></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">First up in the features is <b><i>Bianca.Vos</i></b> who styles up the <b>Bow Bag </b>and really makes me want to buy the bag with this look!

This season had 6 releases, which does include one that was a combination of a Tribute and and Antidote release; these were <a href="https://thestardolllookbook.blogspot.com/2018/12/i-n-s-p-i-r-e-d-b-y-f-e-n-d-i-tribute.html">Fendi</a>, <a href="https://thestardolllookbook.blogspot.com/2018/12/i-n-s-p-i-r-e-d-b-y-p-r-d-tribute-review.html">Prada</a>, <a href="https://thestardolllookbook.blogspot.com/2019/01/a-n-t-i-d-o-t-e-m-o-s-c-h-i-n-o-t-r-i-b.html">Moschino/Antidote</a>, <a href="https://thestardolllookbook.blogspot.com/2019/01/i-n-s-p-i-r-e-d-b-y-l-e-x-n-d-e-r-m-c-q.html">Alexander McQueen</a>, <a href="https://thestardolllookbook.blogspot.com/2019/01/i-n-s-p-i-r-e-d-b-y-t-o-m-f-o-r-d.html">Tom Ford</a> and <a href="https://thestardolllookbook.blogspot.com/2019/01/i-n-s-p-i-r-e-d-b-y-o-f-f-w-h-i-t-e.html">Off-White</a>. Looking back, this season had a really nice mix of designs, styles, colours and fabrics, I really think a little something for everyone - and a number of classic pieces that we still love a lot today. I don't think I can count how many times I've styled the <b>McQueen Trousers Black</b> because it's just too many^</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><i>F E N D I</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: justify;">For me at least, this <i>Fendi</i> release was a great one, especially looking back at it a few years down the line. I just love all the brown and earth tones to the collection while still bringing details and some really beautiful patterns and colour combinations - I'm looking at you <b>Fendi Inspired Pattern Fur Coat</b> and <b>Fendi Inspired Romb Dress</b>! The accessories in this collection are some of the most lasting, I see them styled all the time, which really keeps me thinking about this release.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi76gdLyY0AaW0hc42AifNKzYtzHfTZ2HO6_TRNPSV5yPip8Igf_PTXV4F1u8FhcPY_-PFWCewuwElqRfZQ4a-t-7FoSVkStIv1CcbGPDJ4Z7hvr2DjCUK0Nj73Ab8956XlF394oNe4Pmm20GA8eqpHGn1SWgrOs79gGKdL3bI-EWiQgi8TLIzVB9I9m0h8/s792/FendiWinter2018TRIBREVIS.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="792" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi76gdLyY0AaW0hc42AifNKzYtzHfTZ2HO6_TRNPSV5yPip8Igf_PTXV4F1u8FhcPY_-PFWCewuwElqRfZQ4a-t-7FoSVkStIv1CcbGPDJ4Z7hvr2DjCUK0Nj73Ab8956XlF394oNe4Pmm20GA8eqpHGn1SWgrOs79gGKdL3bI-EWiQgi8TLIzVB9I9m0h8/s16000/FendiWinter2018TRIBREVIS.png" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><i>A L E X A N D E R M C Q U E E N</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: justify;">This <i>Alexander McQueen</i> collection is one of the most memorable Tribute collections for me - so simple yet super stylish, the pieces were and still are super versatile and the styles are classics, they really have lasted and still look great today. These are some of the pieces that I do see styled quite often on dolls, so I think it's a bit of a universal favourite.

It's also one of those colours that does extremely well either going all out or going more minimal, it's an easy trend to slip into everyday stylings and there are so many pieces in the Plaza to choose from already!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNYpE7hIo11m6gHGwi9-e6PVhja9N-j83S6oemvaFbm2nVFx5iSDxoj2FMh4vMfoywlUso0in3xIvN0dbSVJUpRGfMKRuQmNCuzeAR4TKk18e3l3WP1jFz8EMI6gaP5bIHDvpsqKUWWxteRt2XpgKv1MwslQPExl7MBkqatd3oNCZcyq4_yjpwXbkiv-nR/s650/RedLooks.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNYpE7hIo11m6gHGwi9-e6PVhja9N-j83S6oemvaFbm2nVFx5iSDxoj2FMh4vMfoywlUso0in3xIvN0dbSVJUpRGfMKRuQmNCuzeAR4TKk18e3l3WP1jFz8EMI6gaP5bIHDvpsqKUWWxteRt2XpgKv1MwslQPExl7MBkqatd3oNCZcyq4_yjpwXbkiv-nR/s16000/RedLooks.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've been a lover of wearing red for years, and I think we all know that, so this colour trend comes easily to me - I have so many reds in my wardrobe that it's not tricky to work on this one already! One of the things I love about red is that it works great on a minimal, middle and maximum way, you can do just accessory touches or you can go all out and it's a colour that looks fantastic, plus it catches the eye very easily^ If bright bold colours aren't so much your thing, I would definitely stick to accessories, and there are so many good ones in the Plaza for you to choose from. What I'm looking for next is a fab red dress, plus maybe some more top/shirt options, this one in the second look is fantastic, but I definitely over-wear it, haha XD</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><b>FEATURES</b></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Pops of red from head to toe in this look from <b><i>baksik7899</i></b>, who looks fabulous^ Red is one of those colours that looks good as both a 'less' and a 'more', and opting for accessories is the perfect way to bring the colour to your stylings, this beret is adorable^ The bright colour really pops against the neutral white of the top and the denim of the skirt, those boots are the perfect touch popping out at the hem!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_BajCUhkwvHPdD-KYt2gWLPlPOHKLc9BcP9dLO2nCBK_8iU4nIsVG0_fFKvlxnOTe-WdX-uMp6y3ctjwDvqqkPn1ZMTXXDUR4L1JnfMQbqRJGmVkHxeOcxb_JK42MRaRQ5k0GP12T0Jm2_AoaRsOF3zisA8GZWDU4kmr9fACYpFjSoPJWdV7sM8GerM4Y/s650/REDbaksik7899.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_BajCUhkwvHPdD-KYt2gWLPlPOHKLc9BcP9dLO2nCBK_8iU4nIsVG0_fFKvlxnOTe-WdX-uMp6y3ctjwDvqqkPn1ZMTXXDUR4L1JnfMQbqRJGmVkHxeOcxb_JK42MRaRQ5k0GP12T0Jm2_AoaRsOF3zisA8GZWDU4kmr9fACYpFjSoPJWdV7sM8GerM4Y/s16000/REDbaksik7899.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then is a very cool look from <b><i>neon.swift</i></b>, adding red in the clothing this time which really just jumps off the screen against the black and white pieces in the look.

The one thing I'm hoping for in the Plaza this season is more bags and belts in this colour range, we have a lot of baby blue shoes already and I think I need some more bags, and maybe some earrings too^ I love the contrasting runway looks that include baby blue - black, red? Anything goes! And I think that's the fresh take and inspiration I need for this colour. The <b><i>BASICS</i></b> store in the Plaza has some amazing baby blue pieces, at SC prices, there's no reason not to give this colour trend a try =)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyrPEFKZ4p0w98mhssL4yYdXRUnnvqDh3mWNBJqj35NQ2UWitl12S45a-KHVFKUjCmsY7cVr-83T4wCd8_VzZ0p3tvRdJ2p1KJ_hSft0bsnX1nwRwPAiRScg1kL5Do8o6cNNDTHodD80moLsTDveVKgT4suZdQmYRCbniP7-q7YIoflt-peJNf4brpoInz/s650/BabyBlueLooks.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="503" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyrPEFKZ4p0w98mhssL4yYdXRUnnvqDh3mWNBJqj35NQ2UWitl12S45a-KHVFKUjCmsY7cVr-83T4wCd8_VzZ0p3tvRdJ2p1KJ_hSft0bsnX1nwRwPAiRScg1kL5Do8o6cNNDTHodD80moLsTDveVKgT4suZdQmYRCbniP7-q7YIoflt-peJNf4brpoInz/s16000/BabyBlueLooks.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I really loved working with all of these pieces - I was just feeling so enthusiastic and inspired about it, which I'm so pleased about, I know I'll be wearing this colour a lot this year. I love the versatility of the blue, it really works well with lights, darks and bold colours in between and stands out in all the stylings. I was particularly inspired by the <i>Givenchy</i> looks pairing blue with red and I'm so pleased that translated into an outfit for my doll, I'm so in love with this first styling - it's such a simple one, but I think it's so chic and really screams <i>baby blue</i>! And the colour works so well dressed both up and down as the second and third looks relay. And I think it's a colour that layers up really well, I'm all for the blue on blue on blue, and the third look is perfect at highlighting that =D</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>F E A T U R E S</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I love this outfit by <b><i>outofdreams</i></b> who opts for a sheeny baby blue in this sweet layered look^ The high-neck sleeveless dress looks great and perfect for Spring layered with this equally sheeny blouse.

I did make one purchase though and after styling it up, I'm so pleased with it, the <b>White Studded Jacket</b>. When I bought this I thought it would be really easy to style in lots of different ways, but when I started working with it, I found I was leaning to the same styles and colours of pieces - but I think there's some options there for it. I was really leaning to whites, greys, silvers and light blue tones, taking from the colours in the jacket itself. For the first look I was so happy with how this baby blue miniskirt looked, it's so cute with the jacket and I think the oversized sleeves and shoulders are really emphasised with the pairing with this small skirt. I kept the rest of the look simple with white boots and a shirt, I wanted it to be all about the skirt and jacket combination. And of course accessorised with some blues, and I'm super happy with those pieces^ For the second styling I wanted to use grey, and I really like having the sweater as the only darker piece in the look as it really pops and I've balanced that with the silver sandals and the black glasses on the bag - I really love it!

The jumpsuit on the base is a piece I think is super cute but hard to style, and this outfit ticks all the boxes for it, the tulle lace skirt on top is a perfect idea^ And I just love all the accessories, especially the socks and shoes combination, and the belting, all so detailed =D</div>sparklewand12http://www.blogger.com/profile/01669729572626154147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729697896594303298.post-50935691592439219942024-01-08T20:00:00.100+00:002024-01-08T20:00:00.139+00:00W I L D C A N D Y | Styled By You / / Styled By Me<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMOJSe2QW9Yw9GQFmy7Pbgttey36-fkUwzKeOqwe27BRQy-6SbbRk4aOEzJOit-n0HlFI_NNucKzie95WvLslSgTbH08Y2S9929AwZB1yukwZiipNcRHOtkYx_6wdhgWqcwaZgZM0ifa1YX-BF5Ah1zC9LIlZolABOHZMU5HVA8Alt3pvyoWMqvmOHiD0N/s926/WildCandyDec2023Floor1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="506" data-original-width="926" height="109" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMOJSe2QW9Yw9GQFmy7Pbgttey36-fkUwzKeOqwe27BRQy-6SbbRk4aOEzJOit-n0HlFI_NNucKzie95WvLslSgTbH08Y2S9929AwZB1yukwZiipNcRHOtkYx_6wdhgWqcwaZgZM0ifa1YX-BF5Ah1zC9LIlZolABOHZMU5HVA8Alt3pvyoWMqvmOHiD0N/w200-h109/WildCandyDec2023Floor1.png" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipnyGRA87ecXn-099KTAUkh3Ku4F8WGcdGs8iuuecBe34gnaA5VIxBcmpPcS1wJmPVU_QPpMWiRJ_niNylvuj0cIJjlIPtr2abctQas1NIOvo1ZTPBoHGrzuwBzPKweY5bSMvJkFrrqQXCiW8IoOConS1bPHJBukqa8lA_QuW1dJGFZhCEJ1H-AzAtP5h1/s926/WildCandyDec2023Floor2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="506" data-original-width="926" height="109" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipnyGRA87ecXn-099KTAUkh3Ku4F8WGcdGs8iuuecBe34gnaA5VIxBcmpPcS1wJmPVU_QPpMWiRJ_niNylvuj0cIJjlIPtr2abctQas1NIOvo1ZTPBoHGrzuwBzPKweY5bSMvJkFrrqQXCiW8IoOConS1bPHJBukqa8lA_QuW1dJGFZhCEJ1H-AzAtP5h1/w200-h109/WildCandyDec2023Floor2.png" width="200" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Between the Christmas and New Year period we got a brand new release of <b><i>Wild Candy (Couture)</i></b> which is a great way to spend all those SC's that I've been collecting up! The release is quite mixed in styles and colours, but I do think the graphics and overall designs look pretty good and there's definitely some pieces in there which will be popular. First up, some features^ This is <span style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Bianca.Vos</i></b> who wears the </span><span style="text-align: left;"><b>Pink Dress</b> in this fun layered styling - the magenta pink and the cobalt blue are super popping and eye-catching! The dress has a lot going on with the train, the pretty draping and the cutout pattern, so it definitely doesn't need too much added for a stand out look. The gathering details on the top really complement the dress design details well.

The look is simple, but this dress has plenty of features that definitely need a more simple styling to show off, the twisted shoulder detail and the hem-line for example.

The black sparkling bustier under the dress is just perfect, it looks completely part of the dress and for me at least, makes it a little more wearable. The accessories are great additions, I'm loving the sparkly gloves in particular, but also the clutch, fitting perfectly with the nude of the skirt, and the heels are a good balance against the black in the dress, love it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRaaVdrZ4szceHS6eecJUvazv-P38VCaumF3ah2uevU9RV2W0NGDjhzz1T7-19nC8VC13_Hw-xyBBeYrPihvOxrkpweyWXMxJgbdaXkP3j_f2o1Fs1_Iz5m98rB-LyB6E5tXJSp3CZ6CgC_G7fezfMVyCsvbrLgTpMiZV50bXwYtj2bu-UfDsvKSrctKfa/s650/WILDCANDYmia1435.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRaaVdrZ4szceHS6eecJUvazv-P38VCaumF3ah2uevU9RV2W0NGDjhzz1T7-19nC8VC13_Hw-xyBBeYrPihvOxrkpweyWXMxJgbdaXkP3j_f2o1Fs1_Iz5m98rB-LyB6E5tXJSp3CZ6CgC_G7fezfMVyCsvbrLgTpMiZV50bXwYtj2bu-UfDsvKSrctKfa/s16000/WILDCANDYmia1435.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And the final styling from this release comes from <b><i>sorenita</i></b> styling the <b>Ripped Dress</b> and really making it look like such a wearable piece - I couldn't imagine at all how it would be styled, so this really impresses me a lot =) The dress looks amazing layered ontop of this white midi skirt and white boot pairing, the blue pops and the rip design really catches the eye. The mixed-denim jacket ontop is great, the lighter tone really works well with the white while the darker tone highlights the dress. The accessorising is also great, love the hoop earrings and furry coat^</div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyLzfzfsWbR1f93hH2Dfn2MZCc-IKYDvJowKVSTBDTS7j9qJz0g_awjR2hMKOHO4S4qGb0LnraSM7S2RwBUNvxQzIMEutpFZOhIOqYqyn0BTE_KdTFZvP_Xl8eK6u8hu-jzxE2z8DJIpiEJskpHwzjyMfkDsEK0hYJn-QnnD_rT1Bv_veiJagZujjYPgoI/s650/WILDCANDYsorenita.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyLzfzfsWbR1f93hH2Dfn2MZCc-IKYDvJowKVSTBDTS7j9qJz0g_awjR2hMKOHO4S4qGb0LnraSM7S2RwBUNvxQzIMEutpFZOhIOqYqyn0BTE_KdTFZvP_Xl8eK6u8hu-jzxE2z8DJIpiEJskpHwzjyMfkDsEK0hYJn-QnnD_rT1Bv_veiJagZujjYPgoI/s16000/WILDCANDYsorenita.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And now my stylings, I quite like a few of the pieces but have just picked up the co-ord to try so far. First up, the <b>Brown Top</b> which is a loose piece with a drawstring neck - I'm not sure how much I like the neck design, but I really liked the colour and fit of this piece. I think casual is the automatic though for this piece, but I really wanted to keep away from that and went quite dressy which I think worked out quite well. I stuck with brown tones with the trousers and I'm so pleased with the colour pairing of these pieces. I decided to add black in the accessories, along with the brown bag, and I'm really happy with the colour mix outcome. Then I also picked up the <b>Layered Skirt</b> which I'm really so happy with, this is a fab skirt with both a great colour and ruffled design. I really loved styling this and was inspired by some runway looks to go for this pale yellow blouse with the brown. The <i>Gucci</i>-inspired piece inspired the rest of the choices in the look and overall I'm just so pleased with everything in this one!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbfBXCIwdhj7AE5IgqKAbx_mTbOVS-pBM6gpbOugtYkF6ODZxMaTiE5VdCkC3zhZnHG6cbWsbfd1-FvVXAUZwLPw840KSHUtEw9TJQxYZ8bfxrGqvCjPEuuaST_gIlIQj9mJwimTOGO-XK1qlKtQ_KkhLSzMjR7Luz94-5L2Py-XD6zMJqQk4RuYQGTl8v/s650/WILDCANDYLooksDec2023.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="508" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbfBXCIwdhj7AE5IgqKAbx_mTbOVS-pBM6gpbOugtYkF6ODZxMaTiE5VdCkC3zhZnHG6cbWsbfd1-FvVXAUZwLPw840KSHUtEw9TJQxYZ8bfxrGqvCjPEuuaST_gIlIQj9mJwimTOGO-XK1qlKtQ_KkhLSzMjR7Luz94-5L2Py-XD6zMJqQk4RuYQGTl8v/s16000/WILDCANDYLooksDec2023.png" /></a></div></div>sparklewand12http://www.blogger.com/profile/01669729572626154147noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729697896594303298.post-89666109057280336712024-01-07T13:30:00.017+00:002024-01-07T13:30:00.128+00:00Skirted street<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqSVEXB6Jvvq7XmIuGwXJWeyX_K8rsKXoN3H-jWpFG4iDUNo8wl8h-B_9hGOX79jLHZ5BWaVE2k-Bp5uyHVEOrPFUIVzA19M13Wkl5igR8UOdHEzEGKmSgRtWH1xzDlh8mpSNbRbedntRD8IxRCogkLbr0n5SwP7xGzVmAXOK2oQABoldPu7vJ5uIALnFZ/s650/Leiona_-.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqSVEXB6Jvvq7XmIuGwXJWeyX_K8rsKXoN3H-jWpFG4iDUNo8wl8h-B_9hGOX79jLHZ5BWaVE2k-Bp5uyHVEOrPFUIVzA19M13Wkl5igR8UOdHEzEGKmSgRtWH1xzDlh8mpSNbRbedntRD8IxRCogkLbr0n5SwP7xGzVmAXOK2oQABoldPu7vJ5uIALnFZ/s16000/Leiona_-.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This outfit from <b><i>leiona_-</i></b> is just so 'in' right now, it's got a little bit of all the popular trends and they've blended together seamlessly! These wide-leg trousers really look great balanced against the oversized square blazer and I think the checked print of the blazer plays well with the almost metallic sheen of the trouser fabric. I think it's super fun to have this skirt worn as a strapless top, the attached belting is perfect around the bust and the colour and pattern to the piece are a great light touch to the dark trousers.

I adore the yellows on this seasons runways, there are so many options and designs to choose from, and we already have the same range for our dolls in the Plaza and Bazaar. This shade of yellow is great for fresh Spring/Summer vibes so I'm thinking we'll be seeing it a lot over the next few months and I'm hoping for some new pieces to come into the Plaza to fit this trend too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8-z_wEHG-sgvlAsPYEgWwjoIja-LGGd_gb3mLS244xdW2h8Tuyo81caZrxODkPk7Ov9kgkzRbRhd5rOiUeNaZHM1fku0xMfthcuM5Xbxd9KZNuw7TGSwFu4AEedosWv3Du3kf_Kc0JntvMPRxAdKaKY98o6UmV98VrooDZLxmm-5kMu9mxxDlPVIRc4TO/s650/PaleYellowLooks.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="504" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8-z_wEHG-sgvlAsPYEgWwjoIja-LGGd_gb3mLS244xdW2h8Tuyo81caZrxODkPk7Ov9kgkzRbRhd5rOiUeNaZHM1fku0xMfthcuM5Xbxd9KZNuw7TGSwFu4AEedosWv3Du3kf_Kc0JntvMPRxAdKaKY98o6UmV98VrooDZLxmm-5kMu9mxxDlPVIRc4TO/s16000/PaleYellowLooks.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For me at least, yellow tones are so easy to style - it's just one of those colours that I find a joy to work with! So these outfits were fun and quick to put together, and just highlight a few ways to work with yellow, in particular yellow outerwear. In the first styling, this over-shoulder coat is one of my favourites, it's just a beautiful piece and I loved making a simple look for it, with a white base to show off the yellow. The trainers were a fun addition to this look and are definitely a piece I need to style more often, they have a fab mix of colours! The second styling layers up yellow in both the shirt and blazer, I think these two tones work really well together - this <b><i>BASICS</i></b> <b>Summer Linen Shirt Soft Yellow</b> (priced in SCs) still available in the Plaza is a great way to dip your toe into the colour.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>F E A T U R E S</b></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">First up here is <b><i>eararmut</i></b> who wears a super pale yellow in a very glam styling^ These little fringed shorts are adorable, I don't think I've paid them much attention before but they look amazing in this outfit. The lighter yellow is perfectly paired with this jacket, the mixed colours on it are great and the design is so unique. Yellow and blue works great together (as seen on the runway!) and I think this bag is a great final touch to the look =)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW9JrJrPjamZZ0V42OM_FODsHS0rsHbt8fQcuCx8EbdtqAKDr3l8VRB73C00-N72plJcceLyVo-6FWMGGWCqKDFti9asKyq3qVByIptARfb1XuQLMRdqfhyAxuvsV8JcULuRyIjmXsNgn2EVivYhf_2T3kgQGgU-UHmIoY_NQk7tcTH5njJmxfr-qO499w/s650/YELLOWORBLUEeararmut.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW9JrJrPjamZZ0V42OM_FODsHS0rsHbt8fQcuCx8EbdtqAKDr3l8VRB73C00-N72plJcceLyVo-6FWMGGWCqKDFti9asKyq3qVByIptARfb1XuQLMRdqfhyAxuvsV8JcULuRyIjmXsNgn2EVivYhf_2T3kgQGgU-UHmIoY_NQk7tcTH5njJmxfr-qO499w/s16000/YELLOWORBLUEeararmut.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Next we have <b><i>sneja</i></b> combining both a super pale yellow and a brighter tone too! This puffed dress looks great with all of the additions, and I think the yellow in it really comes to the forefront more with the yellow blouse underneath. The mesh sleeves are also super fun and do make for a good seasonal outfit. Also loving the pop of red with these booties^</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDD7w0-kQVMArm2twOZUZ1SYFJGktOE16ABppfrTldbtgrGU0yMjBRWjjQCLe5bz-wqVGUFqno2_MkJWZcXnxUeJiqIkHV-kgI6ZzkbavGCVhAJJJLTM2qltQ85uiM7mXMhgxSg0Vq-L8zROVX44ET4AFDcszTCf2QJHXS-8YOLK5Dl1lZYicE25JGNzgo/s650/YELLOWsneja.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDD7w0-kQVMArm2twOZUZ1SYFJGktOE16ABppfrTldbtgrGU0yMjBRWjjQCLe5bz-wqVGUFqno2_MkJWZcXnxUeJiqIkHV-kgI6ZzkbavGCVhAJJJLTM2qltQ85uiM7mXMhgxSg0Vq-L8zROVX44ET4AFDcszTCf2QJHXS-8YOLK5Dl1lZYicE25JGNzgo/s16000/YELLOWsneja.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And the final look is from <b><i>sorenita</i></b> who also utilises a super light yellow but this time with a navy blue and I think it looks fab! This knitted vest is a piece that I'd skimmed over in the Plaza but really looks fantastic here, the blouson sleeves really add a lot to this vest, really a perfect combination.

I really loved styling up this skirt when I got it, and I love these fresh vibes for it. The blue colour matches perfectly with this draped top, and I love the split in the look that the mesh skirting provides, it goes well with the white of the skirt and adds an interesting detail. More white is added in these sleeves and also the accessories, I think the balance of the two colours is just right in this styling. So much love for the accessory choices, especially these buckle shoes, I'm really liking that design just now^</div>sparklewand12http://www.blogger.com/profile/01669729572626154147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729697896594303298.post-25975365336930778622024-01-04T20:00:00.107+00:002024-01-04T20:00:00.131+00:00G I F T - O - M E T E R | Styled By You / / Styled By Me<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYEUClq1mSyUqzFuILWKiVV8j74F0z3qBth-eloEIS5QEaybnEkl85SLDqOBhdBfjLIWgYQ0TG9socDqDJ8DPd6kX_-sdQWIQivo3IjfX83ZSYh90jkW1RbR15eEsEW2d3NWHOzoNh3gAAb8FIDkXLwrMTxndStpF4WsPgT9MdqknNJo-uhygd2zHjGvy2/s967/HolidayGOM2023.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="318" data-original-width="967" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYEUClq1mSyUqzFuILWKiVV8j74F0z3qBth-eloEIS5QEaybnEkl85SLDqOBhdBfjLIWgYQ0TG9socDqDJ8DPd6kX_-sdQWIQivo3IjfX83ZSYh90jkW1RbR15eEsEW2d3NWHOzoNh3gAAb8FIDkXLwrMTxndStpF4WsPgT9MdqknNJo-uhygd2zHjGvy2/s16000/HolidayGOM2023.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Of course this year we also had a <b><i>Holiday Gift-O-Meter</i></b> - spend 300SD in the Plaza and get various clothing and decor gifts along the way, and there's still a few more days to fill up the meter and get those final gifts! Time for some features and stylings to inspire about the pieces you can get this year^ First up is <b><i>Bianca.Vos</i></b> who wears firstly the <b>Encrusted Jacket</b> (180SD spend) in this party-ready outfit. I think the piece looks great and the sparkling maxi skirt length is very complementary to it, the two are just right together. The accessories are also great, I love this layered silver sparkling choker, it's fab in the neckline of the jacket! The next look uses the <b>Black Denims</b> (120SD spend) which I think look amazing, this look alone makes me want to get to that spend point so I can style them too! I love the mixed styles in this look, the jeans look great with this smart white blouse, but it's layered super creatively with the black top underneath and the belting around the chest. The loose belts around the waist also suit the two-waisted jean style really well too^</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJT3uEQqsfZQSuuJDL7ZX_bb9HHFdb38a7oPYShR93brABbIlG2hXbykV5pGh7vUC_XyqavBvr-nDKmWEr38DkTQZ6TokQ_GaoWryxd5tQSkA9jU7i7TjtFxTZ60T8vyz7vxmfers2Q-QGcNF8tH891AaJeDMUvOiTy8AN4sJ2SqL39cmFZOZJpgODgXCl/s650/HolidayGOM2023BiancaDOTVos2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJT3uEQqsfZQSuuJDL7ZX_bb9HHFdb38a7oPYShR93brABbIlG2hXbykV5pGh7vUC_XyqavBvr-nDKmWEr38DkTQZ6TokQ_GaoWryxd5tQSkA9jU7i7TjtFxTZ60T8vyz7vxmfers2Q-QGcNF8tH891AaJeDMUvOiTy8AN4sJ2SqL39cmFZOZJpgODgXCl/s16000/HolidayGOM2023BiancaDOTVos2.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here is <b><i>serhanservet670</i></b> also wearing the <b>Encrusted Jacket</b> (180SD spend) and highlighting a different style for this piece. The black really pops well against the neon, for sure a different choice but one that works so well for the glamorous jacket! The ruffled sleeve top balances very nicely with the boots, and I love the mix of textures included in the styling.

The dress has some small silver touches and these are played upon in the accessories with both silver earrings and silver embellishments on the bag chosen. I also particularly like the bag and shoe combination with the patent material, this definitely stands out^ </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU1zMNfdTCg-sjhFvX6yyf9OzawBM-DYw_Rej-TNOj-oRo5Fx8vJ2bWrhqSNN_6j2vhfl5XdT7I52qbxAR7T6PeSIGRaAgMyi7cdWI5AnEvgHAnOTUWWxQf70ZttqVs_s10moZTsQivJvRYLbUG5L40qQ4QYoX9BjmPmnqGgN0mfiV9gkCLKXstzcGVEDz/s650/HolidayGOM2023minutiae.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU1zMNfdTCg-sjhFvX6yyf9OzawBM-DYw_Rej-TNOj-oRo5Fx8vJ2bWrhqSNN_6j2vhfl5XdT7I52qbxAR7T6PeSIGRaAgMyi7cdWI5AnEvgHAnOTUWWxQf70ZttqVs_s10moZTsQivJvRYLbUG5L40qQ4QYoX9BjmPmnqGgN0mfiV9gkCLKXstzcGVEDz/s16000/HolidayGOM2023minutiae.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now is <b><i>liability</i></b> who wears the <b>Green Leather Jacket</b> (50SD spend) and really catches my eye in doing so. I wasn't feeling too enthusiastic about this piece because I'm not such a fan of the length but did like the colour, but this look with it tucked in really changes my mind! The tuck is perfect for the large collar design, and the placement with the belting is just right. The trousers are simple but a great colour-match. The accessories are amazing, I'm here for the layering of the necklaces and I love the overall mix of black and gold, I'm especially pleased to see someone else loving these shoes!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6LOKneaaZkxwVGFL5Deb0Bf5EsTlAtIIr8LtdAKee7LbId8RZKOzrx5qcU0ANQjtBxVkSUhJMDQVDd8ethqWY3y9c8NGNeKGvpeNBwxpqo2-jup5C7Sy3DJhOREAb-zKiqTAEYol9iN8n_sPIpLiv__vuS7jNGJwXwqrMHXF1Qc9uRYaVf29TmyZl4SzC/s650/HolidayGOMLiability.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6LOKneaaZkxwVGFL5Deb0Bf5EsTlAtIIr8LtdAKee7LbId8RZKOzrx5qcU0ANQjtBxVkSUhJMDQVDd8ethqWY3y9c8NGNeKGvpeNBwxpqo2-jup5C7Sy3DJhOREAb-zKiqTAEYol9iN8n_sPIpLiv__vuS7jNGJwXwqrMHXF1Qc9uRYaVf29TmyZl4SzC/s16000/HolidayGOMLiability.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And now onto my own looks. First up, of course I also had to style the very popular <b>Encrusted Jacket</b> - and I can see why it's popular, I put it on and immediately had some styling ideas! I love these sparkling trousers with the piece, and I have many other silver items which will also look good with it. With a black base, it's easy to accessorise. I definitely love this styling with the jacket more than I thought I would before trying it out! Next I paired together the <b>Green Leather Jacket</b> and <b>Chunky Ankle Bracelet</b> - this took a while to come together as I was quite determined to style the jacket with green shoes, but this bag worked so much better so I changed track and went for a black and green styling, I think it works nicely^ The gold of the bag inspired the addition of other gold in the look, including the anklet. And the final piece, the <b>Black Denim</b>, which I didn't think I would like but actually did really enjoy styling. They're such a casual piece in comparison to the other items from the GOM so it leaves the styling open for plenty of options. I stuck with a casual vibe and chose some trainers and simple colours to add, the white of the top and shoes frames the jeans nicely.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitYKwqFj8hSA1miRYk1gS1J89IOzWxPj5ZeOigyz1gEsa_6-Cvngu0U2n7yhFYKB2U1kkPq27lBUVyPESn3blQoea5dGM3eSeByRdo7oit70eG96F7d1yZ4EmHtK8CzEHfcVM0CS0sH3mU8RpHb7oOPWAOEQCoDWdJIrVWRsD14fve8g-FaeUGpNtaK85M/s650/GOMLooksDec2023.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="505" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitYKwqFj8hSA1miRYk1gS1J89IOzWxPj5ZeOigyz1gEsa_6-Cvngu0U2n7yhFYKB2U1kkPq27lBUVyPESn3blQoea5dGM3eSeByRdo7oit70eG96F7d1yZ4EmHtK8CzEHfcVM0CS0sH3mU8RpHb7oOPWAOEQCoDWdJIrVWRsD14fve8g-FaeUGpNtaK85M/s16000/GOMLooksDec2023.png" /></a></div>sparklewand12http://www.blogger.com/profile/01669729572626154147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729697896594303298.post-16392861687363462462024-01-02T13:30:00.013+00:002024-01-02T13:30:00.126+00:00Out and about in orange<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFOs9_fzOWCysT_YRywbTsW1T38FRvlmGgFC_X1NgTDdVo742x-P4h_gwm7IxMWW66m3DcAbHiY62ssv8CDctTeNaGdNnFbd7C3nB7xpt5q3b_1-i4M2yCvOx3KWhEgYJxzBnO4izVu8eLOnPqVWfQh5Eahg5xS6C5DrnIsMnKJ1Wl2HKvfY2SSS_E2H3X/s650/ORANGEBianquette.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFOs9_fzOWCysT_YRywbTsW1T38FRvlmGgFC_X1NgTDdVo742x-P4h_gwm7IxMWW66m3DcAbHiY62ssv8CDctTeNaGdNnFbd7C3nB7xpt5q3b_1-i4M2yCvOx3KWhEgYJxzBnO4izVu8eLOnPqVWfQh5Eahg5xS6C5DrnIsMnKJ1Wl2HKvfY2SSS_E2H3X/s16000/ORANGEBianquette.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">First <i>Feature</i> post of the new year, and coming in bold!

Starting with the accessories, I think the bags really are stand out in this category. There are 3 to choose from and they offer both both neutral and fun styles. The <b>Beige Purse</b> and <b>Black Bag</b> are great basic pieces and I'm really a fan of the smaller size of these as they will be easy to work into many outfits. Also a quick note, if you're SS/Royalty, the <b>Black Bag</b> is this weeks free gift on the Superstar page^ Then there is also the <b>Leather And Denim Bag</b> and if you're thinking this looks familiar, then you're correct - this is inspired by the <i>Loewe</i> 'hammock' style of bag and we've already had basically the same bag but from a different angle. This is from <a href="https://thestardolllookbook.blogspot.com/2022/07/v-e-l-v-e-t-o-r-c-h-i-d-styled-outfits.html">Velvet Orchid</a>, the <b><i>Jeans Leather Bag</i></b>, which you can still buy in the Plaza - not great Stardoll! Anyway, onto the clothing pieces, of which there are 10 pieces to choose from. My eye automatically goes to the white/beige pieces and I think these are very nice - I really love the <b>White Long Skirt</b> and <b>Pleated Blouse</b> (although this seems more like a dress to me!) a lot, the styles are simple yet very nice and these pieces both look great on the doll. They will be great for layering for Winter stylings now, but will also be fab in the Spring/Summer. The <b>Knit Braid Dress</b> is also quite nice, I love the idea of it, but I don't think it looks quite as good on the doll as the other pieces, I think the positioning of the waist isn't quite right (when I tried it on at least). Then there are a couple of other knit-style pieces, and in that category I'm really liking the <b>One Sleeve Sweater</b>, this brown piece is super cute and has a very sweet sleeve detail on it's one sleeve. It's definitely unique in the Plaza and I think it could make some great neutral toned Winter looks. There is also the <b>Red Turtleneck Sweater</b>, which I love the colour of but I think the diamond-line design is potentially off-putting to some, I would have preferred this to be a little more subtle, but I still think it will make some nice stylings. The final pieces to mention are the <i>Marine Serre</i>-inspired <b>Moon Top</b> and <b>Leggings</b> which are a sweet Winter co-ord. The design is simple and I like the brown base to them, but they're not so much pieces that I would wear. I think I could be convinced otherwise though if I see a fabulous and creative styling with them!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>F E A T U R E S</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUK_DQo4arvRf1fPvJnL3Ccr2g-V-ynPizL7HoHaTRhZFLV4f-m5HCx1INN1lihLOMMtEBQ0C-pbNNvs8lv9TyCUPnIMGij9IIQRjE6Ov2HvXQg25gIEdbXKp0NcP5Jx2z-NVABLYd7rdAHz2gdxZVPGXY5XC4Gi7qprIheRne66SdqlJAlNq9_0KLd1os/s650/ITGIRLSharpie.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUK_DQo4arvRf1fPvJnL3Ccr2g-V-ynPizL7HoHaTRhZFLV4f-m5HCx1INN1lihLOMMtEBQ0C-pbNNvs8lv9TyCUPnIMGij9IIQRjE6Ov2HvXQg25gIEdbXKp0NcP5Jx2z-NVABLYd7rdAHz2gdxZVPGXY5XC4Gi7qprIheRne66SdqlJAlNq9_0KLd1os/s16000/ITGIRLSharpie.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">First up is <b><i>harpie</i></b> who styles the <b>Pleated Blouse</b> very elegantly and creatively. This piece layers beautifully and that way there will be so many looks for it, this one is great to start with^ I love the skirting especially, it has a vintage look to it which I think looks fab and works well with the pleated and fluted sleeves of the blouse. The simple accessories are effective and pretty, but I love the elaborate earring choice, so fabulous =D</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4mnGE2FXCX3wT5gUI174bQDfw-tWg8uhvfXgQ4iwU1-hkdhtSlWSUo00zv9EK86FD4jRAGoxoLg9TkOh0_Mdf2Vp3-EtRo2Y27yT64Y-IPJ22bbz7QGoi_hEWDbtVLImyVwnRhlqa_S1KE7lXm_VUnxvHXxjyr2MQVgBzChriiw6OtAAyKoMq4RXpGr-9/s650/ITGIRLSIzzy_Star.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4mnGE2FXCX3wT5gUI174bQDfw-tWg8uhvfXgQ4iwU1-hkdhtSlWSUo00zv9EK86FD4jRAGoxoLg9TkOh0_Mdf2Vp3-EtRo2Y27yT64Y-IPJ22bbz7QGoi_hEWDbtVLImyVwnRhlqa_S1KE7lXm_VUnxvHXxjyr2MQVgBzChriiw6OtAAyKoMq4RXpGr-9/s16000/ITGIRLSIzzy_Star.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then we have <b><i>Izzy_Star</i></b> who has opted for the <b>White Long Skirt</b> in this sleek minimal styling, matching the beautiful decor design. This is an outfit that really highlights the beauty of 'less is more', the skirt really hasn't needed much added to look amazing. The white sheer top is fab with it, and the matching bra underneath is perfect. I adore the simple yet very stylish accessories, the pointed sandals and dinky designer bag are great final touches =)</div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc_EVNzymHo-tZErCAA242r3QmVWdeWEjHOslpq4h594tZhFuSLFcKTFdDz_USRW1r9MqWDoaj3lJEYKkyA6Z9rspMGLHsb3QN6gbDaUvnwG4xsiVRIQuAt4kaQ-Z8m5iZJUFBCRewoevxWccX-SuI_x-gFJqJ9hxCgHysPA6CtG3NtT_0HLMiggFX6MGK/s650/ITGIRLSBianquette.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc_EVNzymHo-tZErCAA242r3QmVWdeWEjHOslpq4h594tZhFuSLFcKTFdDz_USRW1r9MqWDoaj3lJEYKkyA6Z9rspMGLHsb3QN6gbDaUvnwG4xsiVRIQuAt4kaQ-Z8m5iZJUFBCRewoevxWccX-SuI_x-gFJqJ9hxCgHysPA6CtG3NtT_0HLMiggFX6MGK/s16000/ITGIRLSBianquette.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And the final feature comes from <b><i>Bianquette</i></b> wearing the <b>Red Turtleneck Sweater</b> and really doing a good job at trying to make me want this piece! The pattern doesn't stand out so much in this styling, which is really nice. I love all the use of red in the look, it's definitely not too much at all and I think the bag is such a great fit for the sweater, along with the delicate necklace choices. The brown skirt is such a fitting piece and it works perfectly at not being overwhelmed by red. I really love this fun and creative styling of such a bold colour!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>S T Y L I N G S</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcIgaVS2617-ovxWO7HJxMi7tnUCEpGzeMK7MSQaF7_j2WbeJZLXawwLKVMrunLvAm-iENEX2z88eLTcyA1CRBLjdPgMvQzLEQYZKfGZPz7YX_G-8CHDmGYrU1oorLZ7gqUy_In07ksF_5g0OVI9grPqWkteAao9q7M3orm9iRpgmWlrlfeBIXyXrH_Zpy/s650/ITGirlsDec2023Looks.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="504" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcIgaVS2617-ovxWO7HJxMi7tnUCEpGzeMK7MSQaF7_j2WbeJZLXawwLKVMrunLvAm-iENEX2z88eLTcyA1CRBLjdPgMvQzLEQYZKfGZPz7YX_G-8CHDmGYrU1oorLZ7gqUy_In07ksF_5g0OVI9grPqWkteAao9q7M3orm9iRpgmWlrlfeBIXyXrH_Zpy/s16000/ITGirlsDec2023Looks.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've just bought two pieces so far, but there's a couple of others that I think I will be picking up too. First up is the <b>White Long Skirt</b> which really looks great in a number of stylings, I wanted to go for something a little on the casual side and I think it works nicely with this oversized sweater. With the stripes on the sweater being black I decided to use that for my accessories and I stuck with simple pieces. I'm really loving this look a lot and I think this skirt will be a great staple piece for the upcoming Spring/Summer season. Despite already owning the other almost identical bag, I did also get the <b>Leather And Denim Bag</b> which I had fun styling, I love this outfit so much! After styling this one, I do think I prefer this version over the other one. Anyway, I decided to style it with jeans and was super pleased to find a perfect denim match for the bag, I love this pairing a lot^ With some brown accessories, I kept the rest of the clothing simple choosing this white shirt which is a classic and makes for an effective styling to highlight the bag. I am also loving this ponytail hairstyling with this look, I think it all just comes together nicely =)</div></div>sparklewand12http://www.blogger.com/profile/01669729572626154147noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729697896594303298.post-19185794705161483602023-12-31T13:30:00.013+00:002023-12-31T13:30:00.147+00:00Brown and bronzed part 2<div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl1Y-_H0ydiavyAfJyZ6tdFqRvQ9VDOguiWQPmv3pJ7bTCLAM4T5b0qVnXgUdDiPnWbOnCOVDlbSUWFK4uHw8AJn8g8D7nTf_qq_AnUqyOX0Pve82VOJf7-epJSoPhUBd2x54I42TJ6OzQT8cVtbFz-aoxmTL3Yzl-2oG3NgoT7yZKkNvR7AyWArtfQqcS/s650/Claudentia.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl1Y-_H0ydiavyAfJyZ6tdFqRvQ9VDOguiWQPmv3pJ7bTCLAM4T5b0qVnXgUdDiPnWbOnCOVDlbSUWFK4uHw8AJn8g8D7nTf_qq_AnUqyOX0Pve82VOJf7-epJSoPhUBd2x54I42TJ6OzQT8cVtbFz-aoxmTL3Yzl-2oG3NgoT7yZKkNvR7AyWArtfQqcS/s16000/Claudentia.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Clearly the colour combination of the season - more brown and bronze, this time from <b><i>Claudentia</i></b>, and it's another look that I love! These trousers have yet another amazing styling, I really will get around to focusing on them soon^ They look awesome with the bronze of the boots but also the dark brown of the bag, it's a fantastic accessory inclusion. The checkered cropped blazer is also fab, it's a piece I hadn't really thought about before but it looks awesome here - the checks are great with the chain of the bag and the print design on the furry jacket, really a great pairing^</div></div>sparklewand12http://www.blogger.com/profile/01669729572626154147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729697896594303298.post-14006161483476579892023-12-30T20:00:00.110+00:002023-12-30T20:00:00.252+00:00L E B A Z A A R 3 | Styled Outfits<div style="text-align: justify;">Back in <a href="https://thestardolllookbook.blogspot.com/2022/07/l-e-b-z-a-r-2-styled-outfits.html">2022</a> I made a number of LE purchases from the StarBazaar and this month I've found myself spending more time deep-searching the Bazaar for great LE bargains and have picked up quite a few pieces along the way! So here are some stylings of what I've bought this month:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKMD0NzTOD9T5ZnLtMIsaJwyM1ri3UM7PWivxPquT7wJa74N2LF1Ku9PlWOD1I3z3BZgUn20_5qU_2KeMDDX6I8WnpKSr7vq4L4ZwsSW04mTlEj4Xdk8qltv1JRkBbDT-Z4LSW-LS6pyOeyHGh9KIW6yP8Lhd_FLBo-SOHg0Mg2VrrHMn909ENv-ccNHy3/s650/LEBAZAAR3Looks1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKMD0NzTOD9T5ZnLtMIsaJwyM1ri3UM7PWivxPquT7wJa74N2LF1Ku9PlWOD1I3z3BZgUn20_5qU_2KeMDDX6I8WnpKSr7vq4L4ZwsSW04mTlEj4Xdk8qltv1JRkBbDT-Z4LSW-LS6pyOeyHGh9KIW6yP8Lhd_FLBo-SOHg0Mg2VrrHMn909ENv-ccNHy3/s16000/LEBAZAAR3Looks1.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">First up are the clothing pieces. This is the <b>Pale Colorblock Tshirt Dress</b> (<i>LE6</i>) which I did buy on a bit of a whim, but it's a really sweet piece - I did try for a more Wintery styling, but this is definitely a piece for Spring/Sumer! I knew I wanted to stick with the grey and pink colour scheme, I do think this outfit works, but I think it's not quite perfect yet. I love the coat with the dress but it does feel a bit bulky and covers a lot of the design. The boots are super cute, but not a perfect match for the pink, on the other hand the bag is a great fit for the pink of the dress, I really love that pairing^ I'm for sure open to opinions on how else I can wear this dress! Then I also got the <b>V Red Skirt</b> (<a href="https://thestardolllookbook.blogspot.com/2021/06/l-i-m-i-t-e-d-e-d-i-t-i-o-n-release.html">LE45</a>) which I think must have sold out at the release before I was able to get it because this is such a beautiful piece! This was super easy to style, I have red on my mind right now, so this was fast to put together. I really loved the skirt with the furry stole which was the central focus for the styling. I kept the rest of the look simple with white pieces and I'm so pleased with my finishing touch of this <i>Chanel</i> bag, it really stands out and I think this is a great outfit for it =)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifpGZUAF1bWnOfq4bcPuiyQK-G3ATn4Zgj_46UWA2PG3bSjUHkb6hqVb_idupKz_5gDl0BdIpm8jnd_PZ4DLpskfUcqzmTbdO-bHI1tPr_aDSFf0-dxIMMlKM_CuqsPbyg5DixggXeE-mm_UBO_D6orbB-SnmxPH0-SYvkD6H8_d-QHg1YeD3l8YdT0mzj/s650/LEBAZAAR3Looks2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifpGZUAF1bWnOfq4bcPuiyQK-G3ATn4Zgj_46UWA2PG3bSjUHkb6hqVb_idupKz_5gDl0BdIpm8jnd_PZ4DLpskfUcqzmTbdO-bHI1tPr_aDSFf0-dxIMMlKM_CuqsPbyg5DixggXeE-mm_UBO_D6orbB-SnmxPH0-SYvkD6H8_d-QHg1YeD3l8YdT0mzj/s16000/LEBAZAAR3Looks2.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now onto a couple of bags. Here is the <b>Burgundy Chain Handbag</b> (<i>LE22</i>) which I hadn't remembered ever seeing before I found it in the Bazaar and I'm so pleased that I did, because it looks great! I love burgundy so this is great to add to my collection. I found this easy to style, and actually made a few looks to choose from. I love it so much with these burgundy trousers and the co-ord is super cute. Adding pink to the look is something a little fun, it won't be a colour combination for everyone but I think it's cute and this polo makes for a perfect Winter way to wear the vest. And then is the <b>Tassled Bucket Bag</b> (<i>LE7</i>) which was something I could never have imagined finding in the Bazaar. It was a super popular piece back in the time surrounding the release of the collection, and I think with it coming out so long ago it's now a piece that people are no longer so familiar with. I'm so pleased to have this and I loved styling it! I had a few ideas for it, but was really liking it paired with velvet, I think it's perfect with these trousers^ I kept the rest of the look super simple with just a few gold touches, I love it =D</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQKF_XSvofDTnLRTR368EkMJVUzy5Pqp0cvHw0AqsqMi9APOo_N185qy688ZJUB0JWpH5jwE2fTFbKOmAj3jHKmnwaSiUUlZ1knOn07cEK_izQUix_8yaDUYQEkrhp7XzTXZUHfzc3CB2dJ5SLl5SAo9tXzYyCPMJCNROPujk5REzzXjDVfNcaeuPfEYbj/s650/LEBAZAAR3Looks3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQKF_XSvofDTnLRTR368EkMJVUzy5Pqp0cvHw0AqsqMi9APOo_N185qy688ZJUB0JWpH5jwE2fTFbKOmAj3jHKmnwaSiUUlZ1knOn07cEK_izQUix_8yaDUYQEkrhp7XzTXZUHfzc3CB2dJ5SLl5SAo9tXzYyCPMJCNROPujk5REzzXjDVfNcaeuPfEYbj/s16000/LEBAZAAR3Looks3.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally - shoes! The first pair are the <b>Blue Strapy Sandals</b> (<a href="https://thestardolllookbook.blogspot.com/2019/07/l-i-m-i-t-e-d-e-d-i-t-i-o-n-release.html">LE40</a>) which weren't a shoe that I'd really thought about until I saw them at a good price, but I adored styling them so I'm so glad I had the chance to^ The blue colour is a lovely one, it's a nice inbetween to navy or baby blue. I found quite a few clothing options that looked good with the shoes, but nothing beat this dress, I love it! The dress has a black belt attached, I added a different one ontop but kept it black and used that in my added accessories - blue and black doesn't always work, but here I just it looks great. Next are the <b>Gold Toed Matelasse Boots</b> (<i>LE20</i>), and I couldn't quite work out what colour the body of these boots is, it looks a bit green especially against the black, but I can't quite be sure. Anyway, I knew I wanted to include a fair amount of gold with the boots, and I like this dress styled as a skirt, along with opting for gold accessories. Then I used a lot of black, I really liked this <i>Chanel</i> sweater with the boots. Next time I'm trying green with these though! And the final piece are matching to the previous, the <b>Denim Matelasse Boots</b> (<i>LE20</i>), which I bought after thinking they might be fun to style alongside the previous ones. These were quite difficult to style, mostly in that I have almost no pieces that are identical to this shade of blue - I do think the colour quilted with the black toes looks great though. Luckily I found this fabulous feathered piece that is a perfect colour-match with the boots, and from that the outfit was easy to compile. I really like this as something a little more exotic for me! </div>sparklewand12http://www.blogger.com/profile/01669729572626154147noreply@blogger.com0
