Styling Shoes Challenge #4 | Grunge Stilettos

Sorry it's been a while since the last post of this, but I've been very very busy with my RL! Anyway, on with my looks for this pair of shoes =)

Ages ago when I put these shoes out to style for this challenge, I was really excited for them, but styling these looks over the weekend was pretty tricky, and I'm not even sure I like them! However I'll publish this anyway in case some of you guys have great stylings with the shoes!

They look good as a stand out coloured piece, so my looks have really focused on simple colours - although I experimented with the pink there a little, in my mind it worked, in reality? Not so much! But oh well, I gave it a shot! I think they do look great in the second two looks though, the grey just seems to work nicely with them though, and they also look good with either a dress or trousers.

I don't really have much else to say - but maybe if you've styled them, you could show me in the comments? =D xx

Styling Shoes Challenge #3 | Bow Sandals

So #3 of the challenge, and this time I styled the Bow Sandals from It girls which were released in the early spring this year. I bought them pretty quickly because of their velvet style texture and their chunky platform heel, however have been struggling to style them for a while - what better a time than the present to give that a go, eh! I was going to show some variety and include a dress or a skirt with my stylings, however I was just going to use a white one and that would look a little boring, so I will say they go great with white or pale dresses! My looks here are focused on trousers/jeans and I think ankle grazers or a slightly higher hem look great so you can really use that bow.

For my first look I ended up choosing these baby pink HotBuys jeans from Pretty 'n Love, I love the colour with the burgundy of the shoes, I think they play off each other really well and aren't your typical red and pink combination. The rest of the outfit was kept simple with a loose cream blouse (Pet-a-Porter Clothes Horse 2012) and this amazing cream Givenchy bag. 

Next I chose a basic essential of everyones closet - black leggings! These ones are from Nelly but there are plenty out there to choose from. With this one I also finally got around to using this top/wasitcoat/dress/coat thing that was released in Callie's Picks a while ago - I've always been unsure how to style it, do I wear it as a dress with nothing underneath on the bottom half? Can I wear something underneath on the top half? All these questions I had no idea how to address but I've finally settled on bottom half underneath with this! I really like this actually, not sure I went with the right bag choice in choosing Dior Couture, however it's something I could see being worn as an everyday look but could look great in the evening for a more casual event =)

For my final look I went immediately for these HotBuys ripped jeans {At the time of writing these are still available in the Plaza in the It Girls store} - if anyone has been on my suite the past week, you might not have seen me out of these, I love love love them so much!!! Went for a classic combination really with the breton top (Decades, SC's - Bazaar for this one I'm afraid) and Nelly Medley Jacket along with one of my current favourite necklaces (I think I must use it in at least on Styled Outfit every post just about!)

Much longer description with this post of the challenge - oops! And I tried to include more links of the things that you can get in the Plaza still, do you guys like this addition to the blog? I'm the only one which does it, so I like this little unique touch we have here at The Stardoll Lookbook =) What do you guys think of the looks? Which do you like best? And what do you think of the shoes now? Comment below!!!

Styling Shoes Challenge #2 | Duplice Wedges

Pair #2 are a bit of an oldie Tribute pair - the Duplice Wedges from the Christian Louboutin store. Wedges are purely a summer shoe in my mind, so I paired them with 3 summer looks. I didn't mean to make them all white based, but I do think it helps the shoes stand out a little in the look! I rarely wear these and I rarely see them worn around Stardoll, but they are very nice shoes and hopefully I've shown they can be worn in more than just a very casual look - although the 3rd outfit with those ripped jeans is probably my favourite of the 3 =) Which do you guys like best?

Styling Shoes Challenge #1 | HotBuys HiTech Heels

My brand new challenge - Styling Shoes, where I've picked some of my lesser worn shoes and aim to style them in a handful of different ways. As these are just my lesser worn pairs, they won't all necessarily be available in the Plaza, but should be easy enough to come across in the bazaar. These posts won't be strictly my only posts and there isn't a schedule for them, but I expect it to run over 2-3 weeks =) 

So - pair of shoes #1 are the HotBuys HiTech Heels from Original Future! I've worn these once previously as past of my Wear My Closet Challenge but I really wanted to get them into more everyday wearable looks and I think I've achieved that with the 3 above looks for them! I've stuck to a white base and then really taken on different colours into each look. Let me know what you think, and if you have the shoes, how you styled them!
