This week brought us our new Young Hollywood release to the Plaza, this time inspired by the recent MTV VMAs - it's been a while since I've posted about Young Hollywood, but it's also been a while since I've felt inspired or really liked pieces in this store. Loved the original releases then for me it lost it's way a little, anyway, onto the collection:
The store has 3 floors and a total of 18 looks - 1 specifically male, 15 that are specifically female and 2 that you can buy pieces to fit either a male or female doll. Now I don't love the whole collection, but I do think it's a pretty good one - and I'm here for those TS looks^ The first floor is a bit of a mixed bag, I don't so much like the costume-style looks, but there are some good 'uns here too. Love the Taylor Abduction Dress and Taylor Black Boots look, completely fantastic, for me it's just perfect. The colours on the dress are perfect for Autumn styles and I'm looking forward to seeing how people style this one. I also really like the look of the Chappell Brown Dress, the brown colour is beautiful and perfect for the season, and the fabric falls stunningly, I think this will make for some amazing stylings. The second floor is a mix of dark and light options. For me the two 'bookend' looks stand out the most - the Paris Silver Chain Dress, Paris Crystal Choker, Paris Silver Clutch and Paris Silver Heels make for one stunning look, I'm really feeling that these accessories have been what I've been missing and needing in my wardrobe. The Dress also fits the doll beautifully. Then on the other end is the Flo Milli Butterfly Dress, standing out for being a mini length. The design on this is super cute with the butterflies, I think it's been really well done and will be a popular piece. On this floor of course I also love the Taylor Plaid Corset and Taylor Plaid Skirt combination, which you can also pair with the simple Taylor Black Shorts - I was only able to pick up the Skirt but I think this is a set that works well both together and separately. I think the pieces have been made really well and will be fabulous for Autumn stylings. The Benson Midnight Jumpsuit is also a tempting piece, available for both male and female dolls, I love the blue glittery fabric a lot and I think the style is definitely a unique one. On the third and final floor their are lighter colours, which really catch my eye in the collection, I'm a big fan of the shades of pink and I think all the strapless pieces look good and manage to stand out in their own ways, despite being surrounded by other strapless options. The Eiza Pink Dress in particular stands out, the shade of pink is beautiful and I really like how the shimmer comes across on it. I think the Anna Flapper Gown also really stands out, it's simple but beautiful and I love the classic design to it, both the jewelled and feather details look great.

First up in the features is France25 who wears the Alan Tartan Scarf in such a creative way, this piece will work well for both male and female dolls clearly, and also works well with pieces other than what it's styled with in the store. I love the colour choices here, the scarf is the perfect way to blend everything together and it really is the focal point of the look^
Next up is liability who has opted for the Taylor Plaid Skirt, really highlighting it's flexibility in being able to be styled alone - I really love this outfit! The skirt becomes super voluminous with the one paired beneath it, and I love the off shoulder styling with the cinching belt, looks fantastic! Plus the accessories are great =)
Third up is Claudentia who styles the Megan Teal Skirt in such a creative and fun way - I tried this skirt for so long and I'm just not quite there yet with it, but this?! Perfection for the piece! The colours in the skirt are great with the mixed pattern of colours on this fun dress, really these items were made to be worn together. The golden accessories are also fab, perfect finishing touches to the styling!
The penultimate feature for this pose comes from Leiona_- who is wearing the Dakota Champagne Pearl Dress. This is a great outfit to show here because it highlights how well gowns can be paired with other clothing items for an outfit, which is something I often find really difficult to do, but here it's perfect^ The colour on the dress is a great match with the selection of tops used, I especially love the metallic vibes added there. Plus the accessories are great too =)
Already on the final feature, style queen harpie styles up both the Camila Lace Dress and Paris Silver Clutch and looks absolutely fantastic =) The layering of dresses is absolutely perfect here, and I think it's a perfect styling for the mostly-sheer lace dress, it looks incredibly classy and I wanna wear it immediately XD I especially love the sheer top added, I think the sleeves really add something extra. And of course the silver accessories really pop, love it^

Now onto my stylings - I do have a few other pieces to also still style, so maybe see them on my doll soon. But here, first up is the Taylor Abduction Dress which I had a few ideas for as soon as I saw it and I'm so glad one of them worked out. I love the slight burgundy touches in the dress print, so I used those in the rest of the look. This mesh top worked much better than I imagined as a good Autumn layer for the dress, and I really love the accessories I picked out, I think this bag and these boots are perfect together and with the dress. I love this outfit so much! Next up are the Taylor Plaid Skirt and Taylor Black Boots, of course I couldn't resist pairing them together. I tried a few different things with this skirt, but overall a look with shorts won out and I'm really happy with the final outfit. The skirt feels like a warmer piece so I added the polo and think it works well. Couldn't resist yellow accessories and of course had to be Dior^ Really love the combination altogether here. And the final piece is the Nischelle Peach Satin Corset, which is such a cute piece, but doesn't really match the Autumnal vibes of the others, so it's a more Spring/Summer styling with this one - but I think it looks super cute. I love an all-peach ensemble every once in a while and this piece adds to my collection for that, and it fits in perfectly, it pairs amazingly with this skirt, I really love them together^ Accessories were easy with this one, more peach! The only thing I'm missing for this one is a good necklace, I tried out quite a few but nothing was quite right.
Thanks my dear Kiki 🫶🏽
