C O T T O N T A N K T O P

Another slightly delayed set of stylings from the recent BASICS release, featuring the Cotton Tank Top in Brown (170SC's) - always love a BASICS release as a way to spend some of my SC's. This time the loungewear theme didn't really fit with my style, but I still managed to pick up this cute top which I think will be pretty versatile over time, it won't go to waste for sure!

First up going for all the beige, and actually while at first I wasn't sure about this look, in the end I think it's my favourite of the three^ This skirt is such a nice piece, and one that I don't see styled often, it's also a pretty perfect colour-match for the top and I love that too. I paired up with more matching colours, these sandals are a great fit with the skirt and I know it's a pairing I've worn before. The rest of the accessories are simple and I think it works well with the clothing the highlight of the styling. For the second look I've gone for a statement in the trousers, these stripes and the wide legs sure do that =) I think the colours are a good fit together and I think the beige accessories in there complete the look well without taking the focus away from the main part. I think it's just lacking a necklace or little jacket or something, while I love these earrings in the styling, the top just seems a bit plain here or like it's missing an element. And the final look, picked some light colours and I think this works really well in highlighting the top. These trousers and the jacket are a good Spring/Summer pairing and I've really glammed up the styling with some gold-based accessory choice, I really like it^ I had really run out of jewellery by this styling, I think it could really use a little something, maybe a single gold long earring perhaps? Anyway, I'm sure you'll see this piece around more especially once we're in the Summer months =D

Ruffles galore

I actually snapped this styling from DIORian quite some time ago, but it's so fabulous that I decided to share it anyway, how could I not?! I love all of those ruffles, the layering if the skirts is fantastic and the two pieces look like they were made for each other. The white skirt underneath really highlights the light tones on the grey piece and makes it pop. Plus I love the balance of the white pieces in this look with this cool cropped jacket, it's a great fit for the skirting design^ All of the necklaces and jewellery pieces are super cool too, and really complete this great styling =D

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

Onto the next Tribute Review now, here is our third release of this 'season' and it's another new one - ALAIA! I have heard of this brand before, but really know very little about it or the style of clothing to be expected from it so without further ado, onto checking out the store:

This release is perhaps a little smaller than the others so far, and also only includes clothes for the female dolls (not a problem for me, but for some it might be). Immediately I am quite drawn in by the more minimalistic style of the pieces and the neutral colours on show in the store, so first impressions are quite good of this one! I've now had a quick look at their recent collections and wow is this a brand for me, there are so many pieces that I like, so of course now I want a second ALAIA release to bring them all to my doll^ I'm not sure the pieces selected all express the brand to me how I've seen it from the real collections, but hey, I'm quite happy to have something fresh and inspiring in the Plaza. So first up the accessories, which really focuses on shoes in this release with 4 pairs on offer. They're all totally different styles which is great, the Suede Stiletto Pink offer something neutral, there's a few too many straps for me, but they're pretty cute, while the Black Pearl Stiletto is a great style for those who like something more classic. But my favourite pair is the Leopard Pumps, what a cute and standout shoe, how could I resist them?! These have a great print and an overall very nice design of the shoe, they look fab on the doll and I think will get a lot of wear. There are also a couple of bags in the release, but for me the winner in this category is the Alaia Inspired Laser Cut Bag, I love the mini-bucket style to it, the laser cutouts are very cool and it's completely something I don't already have in my wardrobe. Despite being black, I think it has such Spring vibes to it, but ultimately it will be a good decorative year-round bag. As a big sunglasses fan I must mention the Cat Eye Sunglasses, these are a chunky frame big pair with a detailed design. I'm giving these a pass because the details aren't so much my style, but they're a good option in the Plaza right now if you're in the market for more sunglasses =D

My first impressions of the clothing were that I was super impressed, I loved the mix of colours and the bold leopard print thrown in on the second floor. However after trying the pieces on my doll, the styles don't so much fit my preferences, but I still like some of the pieces nonetheless. The laser cuts, printing and design details across the collection really give so many different places to look at, there's so many different interesting aspects here. I really like the fringing design to the skirts of both the Halterneck Midi Dress (the colour of this doesn't suit me, otherwise I'd buy it for sure!) and the Knit Midi Skirt, I think they've been made very well and will style nicely. And the printing and scalloped trims to the Jaquard Knit Top, which has a beautiful square neckline also, and the Jaquard Knit Skirt are stunning, but I'd prefer it as a dress because I can't see myself styling the two separately - but maybe someone can prove me wrong here with an awesome styling! The pieces which do speak to me more are the more minimal styles, the Strech Bodysuit is in a nude colour and I think the design is very current with the collar style and little sleeves. It looks great on the doll, and at least for me the colour is perfect against my dolls skin tone. And also the Long Wool Skirt, which really looks like a Winter piece, but it just seemed so versatile with the minimal style, you can't go too wrong with something like this, right?! I also love the navy colour it has, totally one of my favourites, so I know I will wear it =) The prices of this release range from 18 to 38SD's which is about average for a Tribute, and there is nothing SS/Royalty limited which is a bonus^

T S L T O P T H R E E

Alaia Inspired Laser Cut Bag | Long Wool Skirt | Leopard Pumps

My top three from this release are the first pieces which caught my eye and I knew immediately that I wanted to buy. I think these are pretty versatile pieces and will work with a lot of different style combinations for outfits^

S T Y L I N G S

You guys really didn't seem to like this one at all because I spent so many days searching for looks to feature and really came up with almost nothing! After styling the pieces myself, I'm not so sure why that is because I had a great time putting together my looks and really loved working with these new pieces. First up the Long Wool Skirt, this pairing with this navy blazer was what came to mind when I initially saw the skirt, and I think the outfit has worked out so much better than I imagined! I'm a big fan of black and navy, so these black accessories came about very naturally and I think they all fit together and with the clothing very nicely - love all that sheen to them too as I really think it adds to the matte of the clothing pieces. Second up the Leopard Pumps, and I went for a super simple look to really highlight them in the styling, and I think I achieved that! These will look great with many colours, I think I'll go for something bright and white next time for a Spring styling, but the black is also perfect to highlight their colour. The length of these trousers is perfect to highlight all of the design aspects of the shoes. I did look at my leopard-print accessories, and I struggled to find anything that looked good added to the outfit, so I think maybe I'll be on the hunt for some more leopard print soon^ And finally the Alaia Inspired Laser Cut Bag, I loved styling this look and I knew immediately I wanted to pair these boots with it, no idea why, but I was thinking it was a good idea and I'm glad I followed through on that. I went for an all-white base to really pop the accessories, and I think the bag does great standing out against this big black overcoat. It's super simple, but I really love how this outfit has turned out! I honestly can't choose a favourite styling because I really love them all, which I'm pleased with - and hopefully some of you give this Tribute a chance =D

Buckled up

Sharing such a great street-style styling today from Thieli. that is so different from my own style, but I really like nonetheless! I thought this idea for layering was so cool, and an unexpected way to work this beige co-ord - the style of it with the belted dress is so different, yet I think the pieces are very complementary to each other. And the boots are also a perfect addition to balance the dress. I also love the black gloves and mesh sleeves, these accessory additions make a good balance to the rest of the styling =D

R I B B E D T O P

I've been saving this new It Girls Ribbed Top (17SD's) to style - it was the only piece I picked up from this release that was probably a month or so ago now, but I just love it, such a great basic to add to my wardrobe! I love the dark brown colour, it's not something similar to anything I already have, and that neckline is standout, it looks so good on the doll^ I'm a little surprised I haven't seen more people styling this up, but it does seem more Autumnal than Spring to me, so I think it'll get its chance in a couple of months.

I found a lot of pieces that looked good with this top, which is awesome, brown can be versatile too! But I did struggle accessorising the outfits, I don't have any bags which are a perfect match, and none of my jewellery or sunglasses seemed just right for any of the stylings, so that is something I can work on adding to my wardrobe. Anyway, the first outfit, had to go all-out brown and see if it worked, I think it's maybe a little work in progress, but I do really love this tulle skirting with the top, I think the colours work beautifully together. The brown shoes are a smart-looking touch, I love the shine to them against the matte in the rest of the outfit. I added a little black in the accessories to tie in with the waistband of the skirt, and I think it looks ok =) Moving to something a little lighter in the second look, these culottes are fab for Spring and the checked print adds some detail to the look. The colour is perfectly complementary for the top, I think this is a combination I'll repeat! Without enough brown heels, I thought these boots would be a fitting choice, the colour is a great balance with the lighter tones which are also added in the bag and earrings. I think the neckline is just looking a bit bare in this one, so I need to find a fitting necklace. And more light in the final look, which I think might be too overwhelming for the top - I love the colour of the trousers with the brown, but I think the jacket is too light. By this point I was also running out of accessories to work, haha, so while I think this bag is ok in the styling, it's not a perfect fit. I think I need a do-over on this one!

I N S P I R E D B Y Y / P R O J E C T | Tribute Review

Now we have our second Tribute of this 'season' (I'm not quite sure if it is a season or not, or just a few weeks of fun releases, but lets hope for lots more to come!), and it's another new one - Y/PROJECT. I'm loving these fresh brands brought to the Plaza, I think it's really a positive thing and nice to see from Stardoll. Let's jump in and see the release:

So I'm not overly familiar with the brand at all, but having had a browse online I'm seeing a few pieces that we've actually had in the Plaza before and I never realised! This two-floor release has pieces from several of the recent collections, and also includes two male looks. Having now looked at quite a lot of the collections, there's some really beautiful pieces that I'd like to see in the Plaza, they just didn't get through this time! There's a lot of denim in this release, and it's nice to see different designs tried out, but these are really not my style at all. Ok, so starting with the accessories there is a huge range of shoes to pick from, every pair is a different style which I find fun! My eye is of course naturally drawn to the Gold Sandals, I can't resist a gold shoe at all. These have a cool strap design wrapping around the ankle and I think will look awesome in the Summer with a whole host of skirts and dresses^ The Y Project Inspired Stilettos are also a very cool shoe, I think this is a pair that you really need to zoom in on to see the design detail with the split in the toe. I really like the patent leather on these and the lack of heel plus the ankle strap combination, it's something very different and stands out. There are two bags in the release and for me they really stand out as a highlight of the collection - the Accordion Bag and the Y Project Accordion Bag Beige, the design on these is fantastic and they really stick in your mind with that. I love having the option of having it handheld or over the shoulder and I'm really pleased with the colour choices for these pieces, they'll be easy to fit in with a lot of other colours and styles of clothing. The size of them is pretty good too, they're just right for styling in my opinion^ There are also a couple of pairs of earrings, but despite them being gold I'm not their biggest fan, I do lean more towards the Y Project Inspired Oval Earrings, but the size has me a little worried that they'll take over a beauty styling.

Next up the clothing, firstly I really do quite like the colour palette, there's a lot of neutral tones in amongst the denim which really stand out to me, so I think there are plenty of options in this release. The first piece I came to and love is the Feather Hem Shirt, what a fun twist on a classic piece, those sleeves are fabulous! I like the off-white colouring to it too, it's not just a white shirt it's offering something a bit different. In the same colour scheme there is also the Y Project Inspired Heart Sweater which is a sweet piece, I like the fitted nature and the colour, but there's quite a few cut-out sections which for me make it a little trickier to style - but I think if I see someone wearing it and looking super cool, I might just be convinced to buy it too! Another top I wanted to mention is the Y Project Inspired Sweater which is in grey. Now I'm not a huge fan of grey, but the neckline detail on this piece is so pretty, I love the folded square design, it's something quite unique and not something we have anything else like in the Plaza. I do think it looks great in the outfit styled in the store, so I'm quite tempted to get this piece! I've already mentioned I'm not a fan of the denim pieces, but to me there's also nothing else standing out in the release to talk about here in my review.

T S L T O P T W O

Feather Hem Shirt | Accordion Bag

Just a top 2 this time, as this was all I picked up - for me these are some of the more versatile pieces that work in a lot of different styles, and the colours are super easy too! You can never go wrong with a fun smart shirt or a cute bag with details^

F E A T U R E S

First up we have bianca.vos looking amazing in the Accordion Bag and Y Project Inspired Pants Man - these work perfect like this for the female dolls too! I love the colour of these and it's perfect with this gold crop top. The contrasting black additions to the look with the jacket and the accessories are a fun fit, it works very nicely and I think helps to highlight the cool design that these trousers have. The accessories are great for the styling, I'm especially loving the detailed earrings and the bag^

Next up is France25 styling the Y Project Inspired Jeans looking very cool and current. This is the sort of item I think looks good on others but not on me, the style just doesn't work for me, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate them looking good on someone else. I like the highlighting of the blue denim with the use of black and white in the rest of the look, I love the layering f the oversized white sweater with the black bustier piece, it's super cool! The accessories are great to finish the look too^

And the final feature, Mia1435 styling the Accordion Bag in this dramatic styling of all black, so cool! The bag stands out well against the matte black of the clothing pieces, the blazer and draping is eye-catching and memorable, but this look is all about the accessories, those boots look amazing with the bag, the two designs look fab together^ And the beauty styling is just stunning, totally draws you into the look!

S T Y L I N G S

And for my own stylings with my two purchases from the store. Firstly the Feather Hem Shirt, which actually worked out a little trickier than I had thought - the length of the shirt is a little long, so it pops out behind some bottom-half pieces. And those sleeves do make tucking/not tucking into the bottoms a little dilemma! I opted to tuck the piece into my choice of trousers, I love these beige ones, they're smart and stylish and I think they fit well style-wise with the shirt. I picked simple and matching accessories, these nude heels and bag are versatile pieces that work very nicely to let the details on the shirt stand out. Secondly the Accordion Bag, which I found a lot of styling options for when putting my look together, which is great. I went for a matched set of looks and used this beige suit, I really like beige with black, I think it has a great vibe to it and don't find the dark too overwhelming on the lighter colour. I put a black polo base and some black accessories to complete the styling for the bag and I'm really pleased with the outcome here =)

All that glam

How fabulous is this styling from achrome bring us ALL the glitz and glamour! This type of glam is something I can only lust after for styling, and it's been done to absolute perfection here^ I love the smart style to the trousers in the style, they really make a good base for all of the additions made, the first of which that stood out is the cool mutli-colour top, which is made from several Schiaparelli dresses, how cool?! The mesh long sleeved top on top of that really works very nicely and also means that all of those bright jewels both fit in and pop out to catch your eye! The self-made belt is great and I love the necklaces and earrings used. Plus the sparkling additions to the boots, how awesome and creative =D

V O I L E | Styled By Me / / Styled By You

We got a brand new VOILE release in the Plaza a couple of weeks back with some super sweet Valentine's themed pieces for us to enjoy - generally I find it easy to pick up a piece or two in VOILE releases as there's usually a good mix of clothing and accessories, this release is no exception. But before my stylings, time to share some beautiful features! Both have opted for the Pink Corset (23SD's) which I think looks awesome in both ways. First up styled by France25 who has chosen a solid white base for the piece, I love the white midi skirt option, it's smart and super fitting with the style of the piece. The plain colouring really makes that pink stand out so much^ I'm also loving the delicate gold belt layered ontop, it's such a pretty piece and I think it compliments the look well. The accessories are minimal yet very fitting to the styling, and I just adore the beauty look - the dark pink lip is stunning, a perfect finishing touch =D

And then secondly neon.swift styles up ready for some glamour at the beach! It's another cute combination for the piece, I particularly like the shaping of the duo around the waist - the skirting has a cut out complementary to the shape of the top and it just melts together perfectly, these two pieces were made for each other^ The colours and fabrics are also beautiful together and the flowing skirt looks great with the pleating on the top. The minimal accessories and beauty look work well and really let the clothing do the talking!

For my stylings I'm working with just one piece, the Blue Stripe Shoes (15SD's) - these will be great for Spring/Summer stylings, I can see them being something easy to throw on and complete a look. I found a lot of pieces in my wardrobe that look good with these shoes so far, I'm particularly liking both navy and white as you can clearly see from my stylings! First up navy trousers, and keeping the look light with this floral blouse, which has a lot of paler blues to balance nicely with the shoes. I also kept a light and small clutch, it's fitting, but the shoe and floral pairing is the main focus to the styling. Secondly I went with white trousers, so many options for these but I picked a pair that were above the ankle to really make sure the shoes were on show. A matching pale blue bag helps make the pale blue colour pop against the navy in the look, I really like the balancing act in this styling between the two shades of the colour =) And lastly a super cute Summer styling with this pretty white dress which brings all the detail a styling could need. I love it paired up with all the blue accessories, and I think the shoes make a great fit with this dress. There were a lot of skirt options for these shoes too so I look forward to wearing them more!

W I N T E R A C C E S S O R I E S P U R C H A S E S | Styled Outfits

Over the Winter season while I found most of the releases into the Plaza very uninspiring (anyone else with me here?!), I did end up picking up a few accessory pieces here and there across the releases. Today I'm styling up most of these pieces which you can still find in the Plaza - most of the pieces were from the 'window' releases so can be found by searching in the catalogue specifically and not in the stores themselves. Onto the looks:

First up, the Gold Earrings (It Girls, 14SD's) and the Snakeskin Bag (It Girls, 8SD's) which I thought looked good together with the gold chain on the bag. The bag really stood out to me as I really don't have anything else quite like it, or in this colour which I think will come in very handy. It looks great with this matching jacket for starters, and I think this will make a super cute Spring combination - I've gone with a classic black base which also looks great, but light colours will work well too. Next the super stylish Cube Bag (Velvet Orchid, 19SD's) which has Louis Vuitton style printing on it - I like the geometric shape to it, and also the gold chain, it's such a delicate addition that really makes the bag stand out. I like the combination of blacks and browns in the bag so used that in my outfit, it's minimal but I think it works well to highlight the bag in the styling. I particularly love the bag and blazer combination and I'll repeat that for sure! And finally pairing the Saddle Bag (Velvet Orchid, 15SD's) with the Shiny Boots (It Girls, 16SD's) in a much more Winter-based look. These silvery boots will make for some great party stylings, but I've found a way to work them in a more casual way, they're fab with these loose trousers on top^ And I think will work very well with a range of colours. The bag shape and design is a bit of a classic one that will work in so many ways - the black stands out well against this grey coat to make it play a key role in the styling =)

For this second set of looks, starting with the Tassel Carry All (Archive Cavalli, 20SD's) which brings such a fresh and bright vibe to my styling. I know this bag wont be for everyone, it's quite stand out with its colour and fringing design, but I think it makes a fun piece for a different look. The colour is almost a spot-on match for the print of these trousers, I think it's such a good pairing, I really love it! And the shoes fit in very nicely too. I kept the rest of the look minimal so that all those blues really pop^ Then we have the Round Bag (Bizou, 13SD's), which is definitely one of my favourite purchases from this set, and I can't wait to wear it more. I love the colours to it, perfect for light Spring looks. I used the brown tones for my look and I think the bag stands out well against this chunky knit, while the glitzy shoes add a glamorous touch. And the final piece, the Green J Bag (Velvet Orchid, 19SD's), which is in a colour I've always wished to have for my stylings, so I'm pleased with this addition to the Plaza! I picked white to it really stood out that little bit more in the styling, and luckily had some other green pieces that I could add to balance the look well, I love these Spring shoes and I think the bag and shoe combination will be used again soon. I know green isn't the most versatile or wearable colour, but I see so much potential with this piece and I'm excited to see some others style it up too =D

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

Wow wow - it's been over a year since our last Tribute was released, finally we have another one! And a good one, this time is the first Schiaparelli Tribute for the Plaza - I quite like that this was a total surprise for me, I had no idea we would get a Tribute and it's really given me a little hope that Stardoll has ended its uninspiring period that has covered the last several months. If this is what we're starting with, I'm now wondering what we might get next! Now, onto the release:

This is a pretty classic Tribute release with two floors of looks inspired by some of the recent collections from Schiaparelli - it's quite a mixed bag of styles and I don't think all of the pieces will be for everyone, but I'm thinking with the great range of accessories included, I think most people will be able to find a piece that works for them. Speaking of the accessories, I'll start with them as they're definitely my favourite part of this release - there is a good selection of shoes, bags and jewellery. As a lover of gold detailing, all of these golden earrings are just fab! The Big Tooth Earrings are perhaps a little on the large side for my style, but I've seen them on a few dolls already so they seem a popular choice - I'm leaning more towards the Tooth Earrings which combine gold with a pearl, a combination I could wear everyday, the Lock Earrings which are a hoop with a dangling lock detail in the centre, and the Gold Earrings which are a mis-matched pair of golden detailed and delicate earrings also with some small pearl details. Really there is so much to choose from just with the jewellery! I am also a HUGE fan of the shoe in this release, they may be the same style, but I bought all three of the different colours on offer - the Pink, Gold and Blue Measure Sandals! These are a fantastic design, great for the Spring/Summer season and in great colours which are easy to style. I can't resist a gold shoe, even if I have too many pairs already, and nor can I pass up something in navy, it's a colour I'm always on the hunt for more of^

With the clothing, the pieces aren't so much my style with some things a little 'out there' for me. In the collections that inspired this release there are so many great pieces that I love, but they're perhaps a little too on the minimal side for a Stardoll release! I think the Crystal Schiaparelli Inspired Dress is a real stand-out piece of the collection, it's been beautifully done. Whilst it's not an everyday type item, the golden details and the shimmer really make it something special. I also love the colours in the Rainbow Mini Dress, but it's just not something I would get enough wear out of to justify buying. The blue tones on the second floor are just fabulous, both the Blue Puff Sleeve Top and the Schiaparelli Inspired Dress Blue look great, I love the volume they have and their unique designs, but again they aren't things I would wear a lot. The pieces I did buy however are probably no surprise - the Schiaparelli Inspired Lock Jacket and Lock Wide Pants, I love this co-ord SO MUCH! They're super minimal in comparison with the rest of the pieces, I love the colour of the pieces and the fit on the doll is beautiful. They really seem like versatile pieces and are items that I know I will wear for sure based on similar colour/style items I already have, so I'm delighted to add these to my wardrobe^ The prices of this release range between 15 and 39SD's, which is pretty average for a Tribute release - I was happy with the prices I paid for the pieces that I bought. And no pieces are SS/Royalty only which is great too.

T S L T O P T H R E E

Lock Wide Pants | Blue Measure Sandals | Schiaparelli Inspired Lock Jacket

My top 3 picks from the release are probably no surprise after reading my above thoughts on the release - these are the pieces which I think are most versatile, and at least for me are ones I know I will return to again and again. I think they're great for the Spring/Summer season and I hope to see some of you join me in styling up these items!

F E A T U R E S

First in the features is artichoke styling the Flower Earrings and Gold Sandals in this pretty white and gold based styling, such a classic combination and so fresh for the Spring! The white dress has a perfect length to highlight the sandals in the look, and the thick gold chain is a perfect addition to the colour in the look. The earrings are fantastic with the beauty-styling of this look, I love the flowing hairstyle and that makeup is beautiful, the pink lip is really what drew me in, totally in love with it^

Next up is millaxx styling the Big Tooth Earrings and making them look like a manageable piece to wear^ I don't think I could manage so effortlessly! The two-tone colouring looks great in this outfit with brown and black colours pairing well to highlight all the aspects of the earrings. I think they look particularly good against this brown twisted-front top. The bag is the cutest accessory addition, a perfect pairing with the earring design =)

Now for some clothing in our next feature, sieg wearing the Lock Wide Pants in this amazing regal-style outfit, it's so creative! The trousers really stood out well in the look, despite being beige they really hold their own in an outfit. I love the colour pairings and I think they do well with the black tones added and it doesn't overwhelm them too much. I love all the ruffling added in the sleeves and around the neck, plus that pearl bag is just and adorable accessory addition^

And the final feature, ayselevi wearing the Gold Earrings, Lock Schiparelli Inspired Bag and the Schiaparelli Inspired Glasses - really getting all the pieces in there, and the combination is great! The glasses look great as an addition to the bag, it's a fun way to wear them and they really do stand out in the styling. I like all of the other gold pieces added, it really gives you so many places to look at around the look and draws you to the Schiaparelli pieces used. The white shirt and red checked blazer make a good base as well =D

S T Y L I N G S

And now for my own stylings from this release - I styled up all my top picks from the collection^ First up the Lock Wide Pants and the Gold Sandals which are a great pairing. I knew I wanted to wear white with these trousers, I think it's a classic combination and the smart shirt is a great vibe with the style of the trousers, and the golden accessories are a perfect finishing touch. Secondly the Schiaparelli Inspired Lock Jacket, which I'm really liking the length of. The colour is a spot-on match with this skirt, I like the pleating against the flat of the jacket, and I think there are a number of skirts like this that will work well. Again with the gold accessories, but how could I resist, they really make a perfect fit for the outfit^ And finally the Blue Measure Sandals in a darker look, which took longer to put together than the other outfits, I was so indecisive about what to choose as a range of colours and styles looked good with these shoes - which is a good thing and means versatility! I chose these smart-style royal blue trousers in the end, the colour is almost a perfect match for the shoes, and then lightened the style with white for Spring - I think it's a nice look for starters with these shoes^

Future retro

What a fabulous retro yet futuristic outfit combination to share with you today from Mery.- - I think it looks so great! And also features one of my favourite coats, can't resist the oversizing of this piece, it works so well in so many different combinations. I think the contrast trim on these jeans looks fab, and it really does pop against the dark colour and plays well with the white boots and the white printing on the cross-body bag strap, I love that^ The purple is such a fun and current touch, the dark and lilac tones are pairing together nicely. And gold detailing across all of the accessories - a big plus for me!
