I 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

After posting my review of the Inspired By Alexander McQueen 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 Embroidery Dress, 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 Military Trench Coat and Armadillo Bow Boots. 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 Funnel Neck Knit Jumper and Exploded Victorian Jewel Knuckle Clutch 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^
And for some darker stylings in the next three outfits. First here are the Black And Gold Dress and Drop Down Earring 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 Black Knots Dress, 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 Leather Bustier Skirt 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.

OOTM January 2024 | Styled By You / / Styled By Me

Apologies for the lateness of this post - but the January OOTM 2024 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 Lips Denim Corset, so many people styled this up and it does seem to have been pretty versatile piece. So firstly a look from the ever-cool bianca.vos, 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^
Next up with this piece is darlinglovato - 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!
Next we have sarah_1980, who additionally wears the Long Buttoned Denim Skirt and the Shop Stop Sign Shoulder Bag 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 =)
And lastly looking at a different piece, notnoworlater styles up the Knitted Cropped Top - 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 =)
I did pick up one piece from this months collection, the Crystals Hair Band 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!

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

Tribute number 5 of the season and it's a brand new brand - it's Bottega Veneta! I didn't really have any 'wishlist' as such for this Tribute season, but was hoping a little for Gucci or Chanel 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:
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 Silver and Gold Metallic Long Boots, 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 White and Ribbon Adam Sandals 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 Knotted Leather Bordeaux Mules are really beautiful, the style is something completely unique and for me the knot design immediately reminds me of the brand. The Rocket 90 Leather Mules 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 Red, Gold and Black Sardine Leather Minibags 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 Mini Jodie Handbag 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 Small Black Kalimero Bag, 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 Black Oval Sunglasses and Brown Cat Eye Hem Shades 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 Oval Sunglasses also come in Yellow and Kiwi 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 Silver H Beam Earrings and the Gold H Heam Earrings, 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.
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 Orange Leather Dress! 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 Draped Neck Leather Dress is super sleek, love the fitted midi style then the looser design at the neckline. And the Brown Leather Midi Dress 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 Double Leather Trench Coat 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 White Sheer Cotton Dress, 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 Navy Leather Wrap Skirt 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 Blue Jacket and Pants 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 Pants, 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 Slubbed Melange Blazer and Pleated Melange Miniskirt 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 Toscana Shearling Cropped Blouson and the Leather Culotte Trousers, these look fab together but I have so many ideas already for these pieces, super versatile for sure! I also really love the Black Structured Coat and I think it's such a great idea to have the Green Corset 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.

F E A T U R E S
First up in the features is carol.dany wearing the Pleated Melange Miniskirt 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^
Next is harpie going for something super simple but incredibly on point in the White Sheer Cotton Dress, Gold Sardine Leather Minibag and the Ribbon Adam Sandal - 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!
I love the Autumnal vibes in this next look from mery.- who wears the Brown Leather Midi Dress - 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 =)
A second look with the Brown Leather Midi Dress, this time from millaxx 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
The penultimate feature is from the _chuba who styles the Black Oval Sunglasses, Slubbed Melange Blazer and Blue Pants 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. The black accessories are also great in this one, the waist belt is perfect and the style of the bag fits well^
And last but not least is darlinglovato wearing a number of pieces - the Navy Leather Wrap Skirt, Red Sardine Leather Minibag and the Knotted Leather Bordeaux Mules and all standing out perfectly! The lilac tones in the top choices are fantastic against the navy, for sure one of my favourite colour pairings and I think these pieces are perfect additions for the skirt. The red touches are very eye-catching and I think complement the clothing very nicely, love it!

I N S P I R E D B Y Y / P R O J E C T | Styled Outfits

Our 4th Tribute of the season - and it's Y/Project! This is now our third release from this brand, 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.
First up, the Blue Paris Best Tote Bag 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 Fur Trimmed Jacket 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 Leather Coat and B&W Scarf 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. And pretty much straight back to a Winter styling with this one, haha!

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

And here is Tribute number 3 of the season, Inspired By Maison Margiela - and a first appearance in the Tributes for this brand! 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:
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 Tabi style included. The Black Tabi Ankle Boots 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 Tabi Broken Mirror Boots which I really love, these look amazing in silver and the Tabi 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 Japanese 6 Shoulder Bag, I really like the geometric simple design to it and love the neutral colour, it's definitely a versatile piece. The Dot Bag 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 Glam Slam Hobo Micro Velvet Merlot 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.
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 Tulle Frill Top, Gray Top and PVC Top 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 PVC Dress 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 Dotted Skirt 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 Black Dress which is a mini style, and the Black Folded Dress 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 not 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 Black Coat Men, 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 Peach Floral Coat 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 Striped Wide Leg Pants, 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 Duvet Coat, an oversized piece in white which will work with many different pieces. The Burgundy Cape 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

F E A T U R E S
First up today is Elrry wearing the Burgundy Cape, PVC Dress, Bag and Glam Slam Hobo Micro Velvet Merlot - 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^ 
Next is Bianca.Vos going simple and stylish with the Black Dress 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
On the brighter side of stylings, harpie wears the Tulle Frill Top in a look which really reminds me of styles from many years ago on Stardoll, I really love it! The top fits seamlessly with the style of the maxi dress, the draping looks great against the tulle. I love the jewelled belting added, it works nicely bringing the clothing together. The perspex and silver accessories are also perfect, just what the grey tulle needed as a finishing touch =)
Penultimately is leiona_- styling up the Tattoo Patch Top, I think this is super cool, and a fun idea that I wouldn't have thought about, a layering queen in action here! 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 Dior dress is beautiful, and the tulle still shows some of the bodice of the top off - really love the surprise versatility of this piece!
And the final feature is from AURA who wears the Duvet Coat 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 also love a lot the lace skirting added, it's super feminine with the florals and contrasts with the coat style. All those added details are fab, and really balance against the simplicity of the coat =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

Time for Tribute number 2 of the season - it's Inspired By Schiaparelli! 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 Schiaparelli release and I'm looking forward to diving in to see what this one brings to the Plaza:
For me, this Schiaparelli Tribute 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 McQueen Tribute, 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 Patent Leather Keyhole Pumps, the black and gold combination is a classic, and I really like the pointed toe design. These also come in Nude if you prefer that colour combination. I also really like that these tie in well with the keyhole design feature of the first Schiaparelli release. There are 2 bags in the release, which isn't many for the number of looks, but both are super cool pieces. The Red Triple Anatomy Jewelry Bag 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 Schiaparelli design. Then there is the Mini Anatomy Embroidered Bag 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 Gilded Gold Belt 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 Fleur De Lis Necklace which wraps around the back of the neck, and also the Curb Chain Necklace 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 Keyhole Cuff Bracelet 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 Keyhole Pierced Ear Earrings, 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.
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 Cobalt Blue Skirt and Blue Body Paint Top 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 High Waist Embroidered Skirt 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 Sleeveless Turtleneck that it's paired with too, really inspires me with styling ideas. And then there's also the Crochet Puzzle Dress 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 Corset Lace Dress 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 Gold Cardigan and Gold Stretch Skirt, 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 Mirror Jacket and Mirror Skirt, but also the Leaf And Rhinestones Bib which will be a great layering piece. I also love the Liquid Effect Black Miniskirt, 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 Wide Sleeved Cream Coat 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 Wide Collar Coat 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 High Waisted Large Trousers are a great flowing pair of trousers, they have a nice fit on the doll and the gold is on the minimal side, the Black Skirt 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 Cropped Black Wool Jacket, it does have some small subtle details and the oversizing in the shoulders is fantastic! Bringing a little silver to the collection is the Pearl Top, this is a gorgeous one-shouldered piece, it's oozing glam^ And the final items to include here are a little more casual, the Breasts Short Jacket and Archives Knitted Miniskirt co-ord are stand out for their funky printed design in black and white. These are really super cute pieces =)

F E A T U R E S
First up in the features is leiona_- who uses quite a number of the pieces, the Black Skirt, Sleeveless Turtleneck, Mini Anatomy Embroidered Bag, Keyhole Pierced Ear Earrings and Pierced Mouth Necklace - 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^
Next up is harpie who wears the co-ord of the Mirror Jacket and Mirror Skirt 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. The colours of the mirror really pop but also highlight the grey dress at the same time. I love all the metallic accessories, especially the bag and the jewellery, the chunky jewels look fab with the mirror mosaic =)
And the final feature comes from MissDark1990 who also wears a number of pieces from the release - the Breasts Short Jacket, Patent Leather Keyhole PumpsKeyhole Pierced Ear Earrings and Enamel Eye Bangle Bracelet, and again, these are all great together =) I think this skirt paired with the jacket is a fantastic idea, the cinched in waist of both pieces works well and the elaborate ruffles of the skirt are great with the oversizing of the jacket at the shoulders and arms. The touches of gold throughout are just perfect and the pieces balance well, I love it!
