T R I B U T E S G A L L E R Y | Tribute Review

Third in the lineup of the Tribute season this year, it's Tributes Gallery! This is unusual because as far as I can remember Tributes Gallery has typically been the final release of the season, and usually arrives well because the other releases have maybe not had as many accessories pieces (not necessarily the case this year) - but anyway, let's get into the store and see what we have:

The release is 3 floors and really they're all completely packed with pieces, I actually found this release super overwhelming and it was really difficult to know where to start. I ended up taking several days to look through it all slowly and deciding what I wanted from there. Starting with the shoes - there are 19 pairs to choose from in all sorts of styles, there really is something for everyone. There are a number of platform-based styles, like the Snake Skin, Scaled and Green Armadillo Heels, or the McQueen Metallic, Blue or Black Alien Heels - these styles are very specific and just not me, plus not super unique as we've had variations previously. Platforms I am quite tempted by are the Chanel White Platforms, I really quite like Chanel shoes and I don't think we've had this style before. On flatter ground I really like both the H Sandals Brown and Black, super classic in design and neutral colours that will be easy to wear, plus they're affordable, can't really go too wrong! There are some very nice pairs of heels, the first ones that caught my eye were the Rattan Monolos, love the red and rattan combination a lot, and I also love the overall shoe shape of the Cherry Slingbacks, I just don't like the cherry print! The Balenciaga Monday Heels White are also very tempting, and I've seen a very cool styling of them in the features below, I'm just not sure I'll get wear out of them. Onto the bags next, where there are a whopping 36 pieces to choose from - I won't lie, I found that super overwhelming to organise and look through and decide what I wanted to get. I really like the Fendi Baguette-style bags and also the Dior Saddle bags, so for me I was happy to see lots of pieces like these, but so much choice it was hard to whittle down. Starting with Fendi, there are 5 designs to choose from and both come in a cross-body or hand-held style. The classic colouring of the Fendi Baguette Logo in brown and black stood out to me first, it's a classic and versatile and will always stand out in a look. The Handbag version is also priced in SC's, so very affordable for everyone. I like the more stand out colours as well, the Fendi Baguette Pink is super fun for Spring/Summer, as is the Fendi Baguette Blue Crystal which will also look good in both casual and dressy styles with its intricate details. And on the very dressy side is the Fendi Baguette Sequin, love these sparkling colours, I think it really pops well in the store and it caught my eye immediately. With the Dior styles, there are 5 to choose from and they're all detailed and stand out individual pieces. My eye was first drawn to the Dior Denim Saddle Bag, I love the combination of the dark denim and the beige printed details, it looks classic but with a twist. Also in the darker category is the Dior Fur and Crystal Saddle Bag which is such a cute fun piece, I love the blue and white combination, and the fur is fun for Winter stylings - I can already envisage a few stylings for this one^ The Dior Koi Fish Saddle Bag is also super unique in design, and the pink and green are cute together, I think this one will make for some super fun colourful creative stylings. There is another Dior style available, the Dior Columbus Bag in Black, Red and Brown, this is a simple shoulder bag and I do like it, but think it might be tricky to work with the short strap and shoulder design. There are a couple of other bags to mention, I really like the Cat Handle Purse, super cute handle and love the pink colour, and I also like the look of the Coperni Flower Bag however we have had a few very similar designs to this in recent-ish releases.

There are of course other accessories pieces, and a lot of them at that! Starting with sunglasses as a bit of a sunglasses-obsessed person^ There are 19 pairs of sunglasses in the release, all of which are different colours of several different styles, and all are available as both suite and beauty parlor versions. For me it's not total love with the options, I find most of them on the smaller side, while I generally prefer a larger lens size on my doll, however if you like the small option, then there's plenty for you and in a great colour choice. The MiuMiu Sunglasses in Blush, Olive and Blue do stand out, I like the delicate feeling to them and the slim gold frame. The Gucci Glasses in Red, Grey and Gold are similar but with a rectangular lens shape - but what makes the Gold pair stand out is that they have the Gucci logo printed on the lens and that really looks very nice. As a big fan of a classic black pair of sunglasses, I had to get the Butterfly Mask Glasses Black, these are fab and I love the bold shaped design to these. For something else also a little different in design, I also picked up the Loewe Aviators Toroise, love the brown shade to these and I can see they'll work very nicely for Autumnal looks. The last design to talk about is the Prada Sunglasses in Crackle and Red, I really liked these on the doll so picked up both colourways! The Red in particular looks like a standout pair from the release and will work with so many outfits. And then there are jewellery pieces as well to select from. For me, these didn't really stand out as much in the store as other pieces, but there are a few mentions to have. I really like the Bulgari Snake Bracelet, while I'm not normally a bracelet wearer, I think this one looks beautiful, I love it on my doll and both the colour and design stand out nicely. I also like the inclusion of both watches and bag charms in the release, I think these will be popular choices - they're not the sort of accessories that I'd remember to wear or include in looks, but I can see that they'll be perfect for some dolls' styles.

F E A T U R E S

First up in the features is Fergaysson who is styling the Dior Tattoo Saddle Bag - this is such a fun mix of dressed up and streetstyle and I think it's perfect for the bag. Mixing the denim shorts with the velvet of the blazer and the pompom heels is super fun and the colour combinations of the clothes are spot on for the colours in the print of the bag, really love it^

Second is harpie, who is wearing the Coperni Petal Bag in such a perfect look for it, the silver and purple together are very standout, and honestly not a combination I would have thought of at all! These trousers are fab for the bag with all those details down the sides, and the relaxed style of the blouse is fun. The rest of the silver accessories added are great finishing touches, I especially love these square earrings =)

Next is miloshki who styles the top-up gift, the Westwood Yasmine Bag, and I love this look for it, very Westwood vibes overall^ The zebra print of the skirt is a fun base for the classic art print of the bag and the jacket brings an extra element to printing as well, I really love those ideas. The rest of the accessories in a basic black are a perfect base for the rest of the pieces to pop, the scarf is particularly great here! 

And last but not least, sarah_1980 goes for the Balenciaga Monday Heels White, Emerald Earrings and Dior Columbus Black Bag - again I love the mix of street and dressy in this styling, super fun and fresh! This look could definitely sell me these shoes because they look fabulous both with the denim skirt and the oversized printed blazer. I love seeing the bag styled like this too, it shows it doesn't have to be worn over the shoulder, which brings a versatility to it that I hadn't thought about - so very tempting^

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

Second Tribute of the season, it's Dries Van Noten! This is another one we've had once before, in the 2021 season, however it was just one small floor - it was a pretty nice one however, just lacking in items. Where that one was very much coloured for Summer, this release looks a little more mixed from the looks in the advertising - there's some glamour, some casual however a nice mix of colours and prints, so lets dive in:

I was quite excited from looking at the advertising, as I loved that middle outfit with the pretty flowing trousers, but opening the store, I felt a little disappointed. It's a bit of a mixed bag in terms of styles - it maybe seems a bit random of the outfits chosen to include here. I was even more disappointed when I went to look at the RL collections and found so many beautiful amazing pieces from just the last couple of collections that we could have had, instead we have a mix from many different collections over many years - I'm here for fresh styles, not an archive. Thus this review will probably be a bit shorter, however I did still pick up some pieces to try out and there's a few pieces I'm still thinking about. Starting with the accessories. There are a whopping 10 pairs of shoes to choose from - so many for a collection! These are all heels or platforms but there is a range of styles and colours available. For me there were 2 pairs that stood out, firstly the Brown Platforms which I love both the colour and the slip-on style of, this is a colour that I love to work with, and secondly the Pearl Embellished Heels, super classy but also more of an everyday with the slim tied ankle strap which is an addition I really like, and these also have a nice silhouette with the more square heel and elongated toe. The Checkered Heels are also in a very similar style and I'm super tempted by those as well, with a backless design these look fantastic and unique. There are then 6 bags in the release, to be honest I don't really like any of them that much, but I do think the Black Mini Bag is a nice option if that's something you're missing from your bag collection, the size is good, the wooden handle is a great design touch and it's also in SC's which is a huge bonus. There are a few other accessories pieces and the one that stood out immediately was the Tied Brown Belt, a fantastic piece to have in a belt collection, and this one looks great - you can't go too wrong with a good tied option in a neutral colour! Again this is also in SC's which is great. There are a handful of jewellery options too, again I'm not feeling super enthusiastic about them. The Gold Bubble Earrings are quite cute, but we've had quite similar ones before. However all pieces are available in suite and beauty parlor options.

Now the clothing. The first floor is very mixed, with a lot of different bold prints and colours used. What stands out to me is the Winged Top and Teal Pants look, these pieces will be fantastic separately and they really remind me of some of the Tributes of early days - love the flowing style of the trousers without them being too oversized, plus the jewel tone to the colour is great. Speaking of jewel tones the Purple Plastic Coat also fits in here, this looks like a great Autumn piece and I think it will make for some fun looks - I'm only on the fence because I have other plastic-based coats already! The Paint Splatterd Blazer is a fun piece, I like the oversized fit with it along with the white base for the blues to pop on top. I am also tempted by the Cobalt Tassle Jumpsuit, love the mix of colours on it along with the design, but the fit is just a bit too oversized for what I would be wanting from it, I would prefer a slimmer fit. Onto the second floor, this one lost me a little bit, as while there are neutral tones and I love a neutral tone, nothing really impressed me for my style. Tucked away here a little is the Black Sheer Top, this is such a beautiful piece and really doesn't get to shine in the store, it's fitted with an almost off the shoulder neckline, and a nice level of sheer that it almost looks shimmering. I was also very tempted by the Beaded Net Top, we've had similar style items previously and I've had some regrets, so I picked this up to try it out, I really like the bead colours on this one and I think it'll be fun to work with. The final piece to mention here is one that I am still thinking about, the Chartreuse Beaded Skirt, I like the fit of it and the bead design, I'm just not 100% on the colour. All it will take is seeing someone else style it well and I think I could be sold on this one! The third and final floor is very much about the glamour and dresses. I really love the Black Beaded Jacket, this again reminded me of the early days Tribute releases and I think it's a versatile piece for smarter stylings, as well as being able to work year-round. Another piece I noticed immediately was the Cut Out Maxi Skirt, love the faded navy colour and the overall fit, it looks versatile and is also priced in SC's. I really wanted to love the Gold Shoulder Dress, I just wish the gold shoulders had been an optional addition to the navy maxi, because that part is super beautiful and versatile and I think the gold makes it a bit more limiting.

FEATURES

First up in the features we have Bianca.Vos styling the Purple Rose Dress and Pearl Embellished Heels - it's simple but effective and all about the accessories added here. I love the draped pearl choker necklace here, it's perfect with the dress and the other white/pearl accessories added really make those lighter flower tones in the dress stand out. Love it!

Next is Ava who is wearing the Cut Out Maxi Skirt in such a cute and Summer-ready way^ This just highlights the versatility of this piece, I think it's such a cute combination with the zebra printing of the low V-cut top, the beige tone in the top is a perfect match for the cut outs in the skirt, really highlighting that design. And love the neutral accessories, they're perfect to let the clothing shine in this one =D

And the final feature is Fergaysson who styles up both the Tropical Shorts and Polkadot Purse, I think this look is perfect for the collection, I really love it! These are items I really hadn't thought about in the store but I love seeing them work to perfection for someone else. The shorts are great with this lace top, the colours are super complementary and the blue touches there are great with the blue in the short print and with the chosen shoes - all ties together so well!

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

It's Summer 2025 Tribute season! We're starting off with Alaia - this is a brand we've had once before, I honestly had it in my mind that we'd had it at least a couple of times, but nope, it's our second release. Last time it was a small release with 7 looks, so this time it's a big step up - the advertising looks pretty dark, but I quite like the vibes and the deep jewel tones. Lets get in and see the whole release:

The store is of typical size for recent releases, there are 3 floors and a total of 17 looks - a small number of pieces are available for both male and female dolls. I have to say at first glance I quite like this collection, the colours really look great, I like the mix of them with both lights and dark tones, and I also like the mix of both Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter pieces, which I think will be pretty versatile for styling. So starting with the accessories. There are 7 pairs of shoes to choose from with both heels and flats on offer. The Fishnet Ballet Flats, Black Criss Cross Flats and Gold Fishnet Flats are of the current trendy ballet-flat style that are quite all over the place right now - I like that these are options for our dolls to have although they're not so much my style. I love the design of both the Red and Black Le Coeur Heels, these are fab with the heart toe-design and mule style with the perspex strap. There are 5 bags on offer, all in very different styles and designs, I really like these options. The Maroon Le Coeur Bag caught my eye first, love the deep colour and the smart heart design, very sleek. Also really like the Black Leather Waist Purse, a different take on a belt bag, it's a looser fit with a low slung belt and the bag itself is simple but stylish. The Mina Leather Lace Bag is also a sleek stylish piece, the lace design is lovely and is reminiscent of the first Alaia release. Of other pieces there are several jewellery items to choose from - I really like the Le Coeur Necklace Gold and Silver, this really looks great on the doll and super versatile, plus there are matching Le Coeur Studs Gold and Silver as well.

Onto the clothing. The first two floors are quite mixed, there's a big focus on dark pieces then light brights are interspersed between them. To be honest, the dark pieces don't really stand out to me, I think it doesn't help that the interior is dark and that the mannequin is black, so the pieces don't get highlighted well - it really makes those coloured items pop. However I did pick up the Black Turtleneck, which is a fab basic and in SCs and also the Exagurated Denim Pants which look like a fun twist on jeans and I'm excited to give them a go. On the first floor the star of the show for me is the pretty periwinkle colour, while the bottoms aren't my thing, I love the Periwinkle Crop Windbreaker (which very much looks like a top to me and not a jacket), the fit and gathering are fab and I just love the sleeves. I really wanted to love the Maroon Rope Skirt, but the design of it around the waist just isn't my style and I don't like how it fits on my doll. On the second floor, the Beaded Net Dress pops being in a contrasting white, I like the high neckline and sleeveless style to this and I can see it will be a popular choice for Summer stylings. Another piece I wanted to like was the Tied Maroon Dress, the design on the top with all the bows looks amazing and unique, and I love the colour, but it wasn't love when I tried it on, it just doesn't feel quite right for me. The third floor pulled my eyes in all directions with the colours! The first piece that I added to my bag was the co-ord of the Yellow Wave Shirt and Skirt, the colour is amazing and the design is great, these fit on the doll very well too, and I'm so pleased with them. I also really like the Ruffle Denim Skirt, it's super fun and fits with current trends as well - I think it will also be pretty versatile for styling. A piece that I think will be popular but I'm still a little undecided about is the Maroon Cropped Leather Jacket, it has great detailing and I think it fits the doll really nicely, but the open over the bust is just offputting for me, it's something to constantly think about to wear it and always needing to layer. It will suit some styles, just not so much mine.

F E A T U R E S

First up in the features is vanderrohe who wears the popular Beaded Net Dress and also includes the Mina Leather Lace Bag, opting for a smart layered look with black trousers. These work well an the design of the net pops even more with a dark base. I think it works well with a balanced base of nude and black. Accessories are simple but fitting, and love the pulled back hairstyle really showing off all aspects of the dress design^

Next up also in the Beaded Net Dress is harpie highlighting a different layered option, it's super fun to pair with a printed dress beneath, but I really like the blue and lilac, plus the accessories tie in well too. What's super fun though is the neck ties added, I just love that a lot and think they are perfect for the dress, they could easily have been an original part of the design!

Now we have tormenta who styles the Maroon Cropped Leather Jacket in such a perfect way! The colour combination here is perfection, the skirt is a great fit with the jacket along with the slight contrast added in the bag, plus all those textures together are great, Love the accessorising a lot, especially the belt paired with the neck brooch and the silver on the strap of the shoes, it's simple but such an effective touch =)

Our next look is from sarah_1980 who has gone all out, every item is from the release - the Latex Bodysuit, Exagurated Denim Pants, Handle Belt, Cheetah Le Teckel bag, the Gold Spiral Hoops and the Asymmetrical Sandals. These pieces weren't together at all in the store, but fit so well - actually this look really highlights the Latex Bodysuit to me as in the store it didn't really stand out to me, but it looks fantastic here, so I think I might need to give it a chance! Plus adore the hair and beauty look here!

The penultimate styling is from MissDark1990 who wears the Exagurated Denim Pants in the most fabulous way, I love this for a super sleek yet simple but also designer styling^ The wide leg design of the jeans make them perfect for adding boots, I love these wide-legged ones added, the are almost a perfect colour and texture match for the jeans, a perfect combination. The white on top and in the bag adds a light Summer touch, and the simplicity in the colour palate is so stylish - plus the gold earrings are a fab finishing touch^

And last but not least, SS-diamond styles up the Periwinkle Crop Windbreaker in a perfect outfit for it, I love it =) Honestly so happy to see someone style this up, I was a bit worried it was just me who liked it. I love the layering on the top with the white tails over the abdomen, I think that geometry pairs really well with the hems of the skirt (still one of my favourite pieces). Accessories are simple but effective, love the belt and shoes especially, perfect for here!

L O E W E | Styled Outfits

Styling up the final release from this past Winter tribute season - Loewe, which was a release I really wanted to love, but it wasn't quite as good as I was maybe hoping. However I still made some purchases of pieces that I think will be quite versatile for styling. First up is the Purple Bow Dress, something just drew me in to this piece, not sure what it was but I felt like I would regret not getting it! It's definitely more a statement piece to add accessories to and I stuck super simple with black pieces to pair with the bow belt. I did try to pick out a bag to match the purple shade but I didn't quite have anything in the right colour. I really like the look though and I will wear the piece again. Next are the White Mini Skirt and LOEWE Flower Bag worn together - these are definitely some of the more versatile pieces, there's so many ways you can wear the skirt! I kept it super simple and used just the white and light brown from the pieces and I love the outcome. This top is a great fit and I kept it more Autumnal with the long boots. Plus so glad I had some earrings that perfectly matched the colour, they are fab here^ And the third look uses the Red Armless Sweater which I think is a really fun piece and I love the large gold buttons down the front. I stuck with red and gold for my look and I love the outcome of these boots and the skirt with the open knit. I think this will make for some really nice Autumn/Winter looks this coming season.

And onto my next three looks, first here are the LOEWE Flower Black Sunglasses and Double Belt Denims, I kept it super simple but wanted to try and make the dark denim and black belt combo work for a more Summer styling - I'm very happy with the outcome, I think this wide neckline top is a great fit for that and kept the accessories minimal. Really loved wearing the sunglasses too, they definitely add a fun touch to a styling. Next is the Brown Leather Structured Jacket which I do think I was apprehensive about styling, but I think this might be my favourite look from this post! Brown can work for Summer stylings too. I knew I wanted light trousers for the clothes additions and these ones are such a perfect choice. The brown accessories fell into place after that, such an easy piece to style and looks super chic but also unique - so so in love with this one, don't want to take it off! And finally, the Rhinestone Striped Shirt and White Feather Skirt, both super cute pieces that will look great individually but I wanted to try out together. I think they do work nicely, but will stand out better alone. I added pearls as details and I love these heels and the bag with the skirt a lot. With those black accessories already chosen I added a black jacket which I do think ties the look together really nicely, but I'm just feeling a little lack of purple, needs more purple next time for sure^

T H E R O W | Styled Outfits

Better late than never, right?! Finally sharing my outfits from The Row release - which was like a perfect release for me, some great colours and a nice mix of styles and designs to choose from. I did also pick up the Black Tied Sleeve Dress and Black And White Jacket - the dress I struggled with in a way to highlight it's features, and the coat is such an Autumn/Winter piece that I'm saving it for that season. So first up is the Black Voluminous Top and Belt, I think the top works well without the belt too, but I do like it with it. I wanted contrasting colours so that the volume would really stand out in the look, and I think I achieved that with the white miniskirt and polo. I ended up choosing pearl elements across the accessories and I think it works quite well with the top. Next is the Red Blue Checkered Skirt and I loved working with this so much, I can't wait to style it again already! Navy and red additions were the obvious choice, and I went for both of them. I love the balance in the colours and have so many more pieces that will go with this skirt in similar styles. Definitely a more Autumn/Winter style so I think I'll bring it out again then.

Next up are the pieces that caught my eye first in the release. First is the Cream Top which is such a perfect shade of yellow that I had too many options to pair with it! I love yellow with blue, these trousers are a perfect style fit for the top. Accessories were easy to add, the other light yellow pieces are amazing with the top and I kept a casual vibe with the shoes - I think these tie everything together pretty well. Really love this look a lot. And then finally is the Oversized Pink Shirt in another styling that I adore, a super fun mix of styles in something a little more bold for me^ I knew I wanted to add more pinks to the look and these trousers are such a fun fit. Had to keep up the glam with the accessories, these heels and the the clutch are a perfect colour match with the shirt, that's a pairing I'll wear again for sure!

L I M I T E D E D I T I O N #54 | Release Review

I just looked back, and wow, it's been 7 months since our last LE release - this weekend it was time for LE54! There were some technical issues with the site so the release was delayed a few hours, luckily I still had time to check it all out and get the pieces that I wanted. From the advertising the release did look a little Wintery with the fur coat special offer gift and the blue/lilac tones, but let's get on in and see the store:

As is pretty standard for releases these days, there are 3 floors and a total of 15 looks available. A selection of pieces also have a male option, but only the female option is shown in the store. Overall I quite like the vibes, I like the light tones and fabrics and I think there are a good mix of options and styles to choose from. However it's all very dressy and still gown-focused - it blends with at least the last 4 or 5 LE releases as there's not a lot different between them. I'd like to see more versatility between LE collections - we have Young Hollywood for the gowns and red-carpet styles, but classic LE was much more wearable and I'd like to see releases get back to that.

First up with the accessories. There are 6 pairs of shoes in the release and I do think they give a range of styles to choose from. I love the idea of the La Sculpture Leather Mules, love the mule style as a whole, and these have a unique silver studded design on the heel. I just don't love the fit of them on the doll. I did however pick up both the metallic heel options, the Metallic Bow Heels in a fantastic bright gold with a super sweet bow, and the Metallic Leather Mules in a more muted silver with a fab pointed toe and kitten heel. The silver is definitely more wearable but I just thought the gold with the bow was a super cute choice^ For bags there are 5 in the store, and I think they're all pretty good choices but all on the smaller side. I picked up 2 of these and I'm really happy with my choices - I got the Foam Beaded Bag, which was sold for 5SD and a high limit of 5000 after the site and release issues, but I liked it anyway for the lovely brown colour and the unique bead design, I think it will make some nice Autumnal looks. And I also got the Zandra Embellished Satin Clutch - now old-time members, do we not think this is super reminiscent of the first Young Hollywood release?!? I had some regrets about bags from that release and not getting them, so when I saw this and was immediately reminded of that time, I had to pick it up! Super neutral colour and a little bit of glamour, I think it will work in many different outfits. There are some other accessory pieces as well, I loved the belts this time around and picked up both - the Chain Belt and the Feather Belt. I think both look versatile and will be easy to include in outfits. There are also jewellery items, which are all very glamorous - the White Topaz Earrings stood out to me a lot, I wear white earrings a lot and I love a good dangly option so these feel like a solid versatile choice for my wardrobe. The Golden Strada Earrings were also a tempting choice, however these didn't really stand out when I tried them on. The No5 Diamond Necklace is a pretty standout piece, not so much a piece for everyday looks, but I think it's a pretty good 'un for a necklace collection - but it sold out super fast, so it was popular!

Onto the clothing, which I'll go through by floor. On the first floor all those fabulous blues really caught my attention - I'm a fan! The Navy Jacket was the first piece that caught my eye and I bought it immediately, I love a good blazer and this one is so unique with the tulle section around the upper arms, it looks fantastic. With the mix of dark and light this will give an easier way to pair it with different colours for stylings. The Sheer Train Top also uses navy but pairs it with sheer tulle, this also has a unique design to it with one shoulder flowing across the body into the train. I really quite like it and I think it will work well in a range of styles. On a paler blue is the combination of the Ribbon Corset, Ruffle Shorts and Tulle Cape, this really just caught my eye immediately. I love the tulle, ruffles and feathers, super light and fun for Spring/Summer outfits and I just felt like I would have regrets if I didn't get these pieces - so I'm giving them a go! I think it was the contrast of the pale blue base with the black detailing that really attracted me to them. With the non-blue pieces on this floor I was super tempted by the Pink Crochet Dress, I love the design and the fit on the doll, but the pink colour didn't work so well with my dolls skin tone so I decided to give it a miss, which I might regret XD There are also two pairs of trousers here, the Beige Wide Trousers were quite tempting, but I have a few pairs in similar tones so decided to skip these this time, however I did pick up the Ecru Pleated Pants (which I thought was a maxi skirt at first), I think these will be great for light and airy Summer stylings and I knew this would be a huge regret if I didn't get them. The second floor is all about those light tones and I think this is a really nice floor with a good variety of styles and designs on offer. I loved the Ecru Jumpsuit in the Insta advertisement and knew I had to get it, and it definitely lives up to expectation, I really love this piece, it has a nice fit on the doll and it's versatile for adding to. I think this will be a really good year-round item to style. Following on from the feathers and the contrasting colours from the first floor, I also loved the Flowing White Dress, it's totally a wear-on-its-own type piece but I think it's super elegant and stunning, I had to give it a chance. I was also quite tempted by the Pocket Dress, love the voluminous skirting and the beautiful folded top corset but I just felt the pocket design might be a bit limiting. So I gave it a miss but I'm really looking forward to seeing how other dolls wear this piece. The final floor, I have to say, is my least favourite. It's quite a mix of vibrant extravagant pieces which are definitely in more exuberant styles which aren't so much mine. The only piece I was almost tempted by was the Gold Off The Shoulder Dress, it's stunning in design and I love the mix of gold and green but when I tried it on I found the neckline and waist really made my doll look wider than she is and found that really off-putting.

F E A T U R E S

First up is Fergaysson styling the Sheer Train Top. This is a great way to wear it, it really styles up the cargo-style shorts alongside the very glamorous accessories added in. I love the use of the chains around the neck and shoulder, they really look great with the print on the top and with the mesh strapping of the heels. Having some small regrets about not getting this piece now!

Next up is Mery.- who wears the Pink Crochet Dress, again I'm having some regrets about deciding not to get this piece, because this outfit is amazing! The layering is perfect for highlighting the design of the dress, the black bottoms with the floral mesh tights are fantastic on the bottom-half, while the collared white shirt is smart and perfectly preppy with the bow belting on the top. Adore these shoes in the outfit too, they are a stunning pair^

The final feature comes from Miloshki, wearing the Ribbon Corset - and no regrets here because I also bought this piece, this is such a stunning option for it =) The blue is perfect with that of the skirt and the high waist fit works with the hem of the corset. The black ribbon design is highlighted with the black accessories and the floral bralette, it's so perfect and looks like it was there all along! Plus look at that blue-eye beauty look, perfect match for the outfit =D

First up for my looks, the Ruffle Shorts, Tulle Cape and White Topaz Earrings - definitely a more rogue choice for my style but I loved the Chanel vibes too much to not get these pieces. I've kept it super minimalist without a lot of other additions, but focused on adding black to tie in with the cape bow and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I think these pieces are versatile enough that they will work well separately too and I found a lot of accessories really did look good with them as well. Next I also picked up the Ribbon Corset, deciding to style it separately because as soon as I tried it on all I could think about was pairing it with these baby blue trousers that I have! The colours are absolutely spot on for each other and I couldn't resist adding the matching blazer for the trousers too, I think it really works well with the corset too and this is an outfit I'll repeat for sure. Again stuck with black for the accessories and had plenty of options to choose from - I think I got the colour balance just right.

Next up are the Ecru Pleated Pants which all I see are pink tones in, so I focused on pinks, reds and purples in my search for a look - this pleated blouse just looks fab with them! And of course from that combination I knew these shoes had to be added, I love them so much. Kept the accessories mixed light and dark and I think the balance is spot on for this look - I'm really excited for more Summer stylings with this piece. Then we have the Navy Jacket, which I fell in love with immediately and these trousers were the first thing that came to mind when I thought of styling it. I tried a few other options and quite a few pieces worked well, so there are more outfits to come from this piece for sure. The silver in the trousers balances with the tulle split and I've balanced with silver earrings, then gone for dark in the rest of the accessories. Again, I think I got the balance just right with the colour split. The final piece is the Ecru Jumpsuit, I just loved this piece in the advertising and knew I wanted to get it, I don't have anything else similar. I enjoyed styling this piece and tried to be a little more creative with it rather than just styling it with the belt it is styled with on the mannequin and I'm really happy with the outcome. I thought the buttons looked a tan tone so picked a belt that worked with that, I really like this tasseled option and the black it also adds was a good base for some accessories. I had stuck with Chanel vibes so chose Chanel for the shoes too, I really think these trainers are perfect for this piece, spot on with the jumpsuit colour and the little touches of black work again with the rest of the accessories. Again, an outfit I would totally repeat!
