I can't believe it's been a year since I posted about an LE collection, so crazy! Finally we have a brand new drop that gives me some hope for this brand. We got a little spoiler than a new collection would be coming on Thursday and finally on Friday afternoon we got it^ Let's dive on in and see what it's all about with this super-fast selling release =D
This two floor release is a little smaller than a typical LE release, with 6 female and 2 male looks (it's good to see more and a mix of pieces for the guys too though!) - I'm not sure I could say there's been a set theme, I find my eyes are drawn all over the place when I look at the store. Generally I will say that it's not so much my style this time around, but that's ok and there are still a couple of pieces I like the look of! I did my purchasing on the app, so I didn't see the pieces on a mannequin or doll, so it made deciding how things actually looked a bit difficult! Starting with the accessories, I think these are real winners^ The Gucci bags drew me in completely, I just can't resist that classic design. There is the Purple Croc Bag (55SD's) which is what I saw first and something told me I had to have it, the colour is beautiful and the croc pattern looks great in it. I also love the brown bamboo handle design with the purple colour, they look great together. And then also the Bamboo Handle Bag (45SD's), which I quite liked at first but wasn't completely sure - luckily this one was still available when I got to a computer to check it out in store. It was the mix of colours I wasn't quite sure about, but when I saw the smaller size of the piece, and that the colours weren't overwhelming in a look, I decided to make the purchase^ I think these are both super cute pieces and will be great in Autumnal stylings for sure =) I thought there was a really nice mix of shoe designs and styles available, which I love to see. I just picked up one pair, the Chrystal Brooch Shoes (65SD's) which I thought looked like such an elegant style with their pointed toe and the elaborate brooch design, also that colour is stunning and so versatile. I have no regrets about these at all! At first in the app I didn't like the look of the Chrystal Heel Sandals (55SD's), but they look so much better in the store, so I'm a little sad I can't enjoy these too - the colours are great for Spring/Summer and they're not too bold either. The heel design is also quite subtle but I think will add something fun to a styling, and I'm also loving the mule-type style to them. For something a little more elegant and classic there are the Rose Sandals (55SD's) which are a great black strappy option, but maybe a little expensive for what they are. I think the most popular pair however would be the GC Bootpants (75SD's), I love the printing and colour to these, but a 'bootpant' isn't my thing, so luckily I could be decisive about not buying these. I've not seen too many people styling these up yet, so would love to see more of what people are doing with them! And there was some jewellery in this release too, the Chain Link Earrings (45SD's) which are a chunky silver pair of two hoops linked, and the Chrystal Hoop Earrings (45SD's) which are a very thick silver hoop - these sold pretty quickly too, I'm not so much into silver jewellery, but these went down a treat with everyone else!
Clothing-wise I didn't actually get anything from this store - had I been looking at the store and not the app I would have for sure bought the Roman Style Dress (110SD's) which looks amazing on the doll, I love the colour and the draping, it's just such a beautiful piece, and also the Chrystal Pants (75SD's) which looked full length and very wide on the app, when in reality they are cropped and not too wide, so I'm quite disappointed about that, they are just a fantastic piece, I love all the shimmer, the colour and the fit on the doll - at least I have a couple of fun features of these pieces to share below! The Biege Corset Dress (110SD's) was also a super popular piece, I love the neutral colour and design, but the full skirting makes it not such an everyday piece - it looks pretty cute with the Ribbed Sleeves (66SD's) beige sweater on top, I love the design of this piece with the knit pattern and the colour, but really don't have the creativity to style it myself. The Feather Lace Body (86SD's) also stands out as a fun piece, not for me to wear, but I think the sleeves look amazing! And the last outfit to talk about, the Big Sleeve Top (89SD's) and the V Red Skirt (86SD's) which to me don't really work well together, but separately I think they're much better and can have their individual design elements highlighted. The Skirt has a great colour, and on the doll I think the V waistline looks really nice, the length of the skirt is also very nice, while the oversizing of the Top isn't so much my thing, I think the colour of blue paired with the gold pearls looks great. I've only seen one person take on this piece so far and would love to see more give it a try!

Chrystal Brooch Shoes | Roman Style Dress | Purple Croc Bag
My favourite three pieces from this release were easy to pick out - they are classics, and maybe with the bag a classic with a twist - love the designs of all of these and I think they will be super fun and lasting in stylings =D
F E A T U R E S
Starting off this long set of features is Mery.- styling up the Purple Croc Bag in just the coolest way! I love the little elements of purple splashed through the look, it's subtle but works well to highlight the bag. This brown skirt looks fab with the bag, and I think it's a surprisingly good fit with this bustier top, both working well to tie in the with bag. Loving all the gold in the accessories too which also work well with that little detail on the bag - so perfect^
We have two looks with the Roman Style Dress now, this first one is from laurenboy who just looks so elegant and stunning, so much love for this! The details on the dress carry this look and shows you don't need to add anything but some accessories to look amazing - love the chunky gold in the necklace and bracelet but also the introduction of silver with the clutch and the heels, the mixed metals looks great with this piece I think =D
In the next look jualvesdoll styles up the Heart Clutch Neon which is an interesting addition to the collection, but it certainly looks amazing here and stands out in the styling perfectly! The gold/yellow colour of the piece stands out beautifully against the baby blue, they're such complementary colours to each other, and the outfit is perfectly finished with matching blue shoes (I love this combination so much!) and fabulously layered gold necklaces, earrings and bracelet - so great^
Brevis is styling up a number of pieces in this Spring/Autumn look - the GC Bootpants, Gray Tie and Limited Chocker which make for a great combination^ I really like the texture of the coat with the boots, I think it actually works pretty well and the white colour brings a lighter vibe to the styling, and also loving the belt there, a perfect addition and the gold buckle detail plays well with the necklace detail. I'd for sure be excited to see this and other variations in the Autumn =)
And ending with two looks featuring the Chrystal Pants - this first one is from Bianca.Vos who looks super sleek and evening-event ready with this black and silver styling, I love it, it's completely up my street! The look also includes the Chrystal Hoop Earrings. The length of the trousers is great with these heels, plus love the shine on the heels as well and the rest of the accessories are, overall, super fitting. Also loving the choosing of an oversized jacket, this used to be one of my favourites and the look reminds me to wear it again, the oversizing looks great with the trousers and is very trendy at the moment^
And the final styling, also using the Chrystal Pants, is from AURA and is super light in contrast to the first styling above - they're so versatile! I love them with these light shoes, again the length of the trousers is great for showing off a good shoe choice^ This pink furry jacket is a wonderful piece, again one of my favourites, I love the texture difference between it and the trousers, and I think the pink is great with the silver! Simple jewellery finishes off the look, and the beauty styling is perfection for it as well =D
S T Y L I N G S
And last but not least, time for my stylings! First up the Chrystal Brooch Shoes which I found so easy to style, and such a beautiful piece, I can't wait to wear them again already. The neutral colour is versatile and works well with some of my other neutral-coloured versatile pieces, I think this look is super obvious for me =D I accessorised minimally to try and make sure the focus was on the brooch detail of the shoes, these earrings fit in seamlessly to the styling colours and I love this Gucci-esque bag, I think the colouring is perfect for the look^ Next up is the Purple Croc Bag which I found unbelievably difficult to style, I think I must have been trying out looks for an hour to get something - this isn't perfect by any means, but I think it's not a bad start for the piece. I love the bag with brown tones, especially this skirt, so I think I will work on my pairings beyond that for the look. I love this pink and purple glasses combination with the bag too, I think it's so cute and balances the bag colour well in the styling. The trickiest part was finding good shoes, I just had nothing perfect for any of the looks I came up with! And lastly the Bamboo Handle Bag which I thought would have been harder to style, but actually it was a super easy one, I had so many options for it. The little big of beige colouring on the bag works well with a beige bottom-half (of which I have plenty!) and I loved highlighting the dark brown trim of the bag with this pretty top. Simple matching accessories finished the look, and I really love it! I think I'll try some more creative styles with this one next time and work with some reds, blues and greens to highlight those accents of the design - I'm quite unexpectedly excited by this piece!
