I hadn't thought I'd bought much from the 2024 OOTM releases, until I laid all the pieces out (I had collected them in a room^) and went 'WOW', so many great pieces here that I hadn't thought about in months, it was like going shopping for new things but without spending any money! So now I'm finally getting around to styling some items - there are a lot more and I'm sure many will be featured in upcoming outfits. First up the White Flower Embroidered Miniskirt, Balenciaga Hourglass Mirror Handbag and Versace Medusa Silver Platforms - I just thought these pieces worked together so nicely, I really love this matte silver style of accessories with white. I wanted to add more silver to the look with a top or jacket, but nothing I had quite fitted what I was imagining, so I stuck with white and I think it works out quite nicely, then added silver in the jewellery. I really like the inclusion of this necklace, the black and silver combined really matches it well with the accessories and also the black logo on the skirt. Next are the Lacoste Bordeaux Coat, Bottega Brown Sunglasses, Patent Leather Gucci Bag and Patent Leather Bordeaux Boots. With these pieces I tried a lot of different combinations of them with other OOTM items, lots of different looks work well for them! But I really liked this one, it just yells Winter glamour to me and I really really love it^ I really didn't add much to this styling, wearing a gold skirt as a dress, these pleats really add all the detail that is needed. The gold jewellery completes the look nicely, a perfect match against the gold heels of the boots and hardwear of the bag, love this styling a lot! And finally, the Cult Gaia Pants, Gold Flower Earrings and Louboutin Gingko Heels in a bit more of a Spring look. These jeans look very similar to a previous pair we've had, but the detail was a purple colour, these make a good neutral alternative and I found them easy to style, this outfit really didn't need a lot added. This straw bag is a perfect colour match for the print on the trousers and also the Summery style of the heels, I think it's the perfect complement for all of these items =)

The most recent VOILE release has a great mix of glamorous styles included, there's definitely something for everyone in it, especially from the selection of accessories. First up I picked up the White Ruffle Blouse Female, it has amazing lilac tones in it that I think make it really stand out. I loved adding more lilac in the look, this skirt especially looks great with the shirt and it's a pairing I'll definitely repeat. I kept the sunglasses and bag in purple too, albeit a darker shade and I think this pop works nicely, and is a balance to the white boots. I really love this one! Next are the Pearl Heels in a super simple and 'classic me' look - when pearls are involved I can't resist pairing with these jeans if possible. Kept it super neutral with all black additions, that lets the denim balance well and also lets those pearls pop - this bag is the perfect accessory for these heels too^ And finally, the Silver Crystal Heels, which were a bit more of an on a whim purchase for me, but I think they're super sweet. They are a more blue based silver so I knew I could pair them well with this specific top, I really love their pairing. I found a matching silver bag, then balanced the look out with white (I tried silver/grey, it was a lot!) for a smart but stylish Winter look. These shoes definitely surprised me in a good way, I look forward to wearing them again =)

I thought our Autumn/Winter It Girls release was super cute with some Emily In Paris themed items! First up I styled the Emily Pink Checkered Coat, Emily Pink Checkered Hat and YSL Basket Purse - hats really aren't usually my thing, but I thought this one was so cute and actually fitted my doll quite nicely so I thought I would try it out, I really like it^ Love the pink and brown colour pattern too, it's super fun and fresh, I kept the additions simple, I thought this bag fitted quite well then kept the additions on a brown which I love, these boots are perfect with the coat! Next is the Emily Fendi Bag, which I love for it's fun mix of colours plus the relax to the structure. I really wanted to wear pink with it, however once I had tried on this coat, I knew that was the perfect combination, love these pieces together! The baby blue is a light touch to the styling and I think it works really nicely with the tan brown and is something a little different for me to try, love it^ And finally are the Emily Pink Boots, so cute and I think a perfect Spring boot - these look great with the Emily Fendi Bag too, but I couldn't quite get them to work with the tan so I opted to style them separately because they're amazing with these pink jeans! For a Winter look I opted for this furry coat and I think the whites and pinks are a fab combination together, completely could wear this again and again =)

The most recent ROYALTY release was full of sparkle and glamour, with a lot of very nicely designed pieces to choose from. First up I've styled the Sequined Lace Collared Top, I love the red combination of the print, and those voluminous sleeves are fantastic. I didn't really have any set ideas for styling when I bought it, but when it came to it I knew I wanted a red in the rest of the clothes. I tried this skirt on a bit of a whim with it, but I really love it - a bit of a different pairing for me, but I think these pieces were made for each other. I kept the rest of the additions on a similar dark red tone and I really like the outcome =) And then I also picked up the Black Leather Spiked Handbag, which has a very similar design to an LE one from several seasons ago, so I couldn't resist getting it. I really loved styling this piece, the look came together very quickly and I think the outfit is perfect for the bag. I kept the colours from the bag with a gold and navy look, with a slight deviation on the boots being a green tone, but I think they look great. I'm so pleased to have this piece!

I'm not always the biggest fan of Strike-A-Pose releases, but one piece in particular from the last one caught my eye, the Westwood Plaid Skirt which is a sweet a-line skirt with a fun tartan of green, red and pink. When I spotted this look styled by Bianca.Vos I knew I needed to put together a little Styled By You / / Styled By Me post, because can't we all agree that this outfit for the skirt is amazing?! The almost-identical plaid shirt looks amazing with the skirt, and the green tie is a perfect colour match to combine the two pieces. That balances nicely with the socks and I think the addition of the brown tones is genius, really works perfectly with the shade of green. And the little chihuahua bag is so cute, love this finishing touch =) With my look I wanted to go with a pink theme, but didn't quite have anything in the right shade of pink from the plaid, so I relented and went with classic reds, which work perfectly with it to make a very 'me' look. I really like a square neckline with an a-line skirt like this, and I think the crossbody bag with the height right at the hem of the skirt really works wonderfully. I kept it pretty minimal on the accessories but I think these red options work nicely - next time pink for sure for me with this skirt though!

Apologies for the hiatus, life got in the way! Anyway, back with some looks from the last The Jet Set release - the release came out back in the Autumn, but I think it's a pretty good one for both AW and SS looks, there's a mix of colours, tones and patterns with some super light pastel shades that I'm looking forward to try in the Spring. First up here is the co-ord of the Pearl Sheer Top and Pants, a super cute set and I can't resist pearls! There is quite a lot of sheer to the pieces, but I found it easy to work with through layering, and for a Winter based look a coat was also a good addition. With the coat size I really like the little pops of pearl just peaking through there. I kept the accessories super simple, more pearls and also white, I think these balance the look well and suit the pieces really nicely too, especially the shoe and pant pairing^ And then I couldn't resist the Oversized Valentino Coat, really love this as a super stylish coat option - it's a great balance between a fitted item and something that's oversized, I love how the shape fits on the doll, and I don't think you can ever have too many pearls! I kept the clothing simple, I found the coat looks best without a shirt when paired with these trousers, so that's something I tried out. Then I added even more pearls in the accessories, honestly I think these boots just balance the shoulder pearls to perfection!
