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 T G I R L S | Styled By You / / Styled By Me

Now time to look at the 5th It Girls:Recoloured release that we got in May week - another set of recoloured pieces, but this time we have a lot of choice for each item and there's a bit of a better mix of bright neons and calmer neutrals, which I really appreciate. In addition to the two floors, there were a couple more items on the third floor of It Girls with this release. For me I lean more to the neutral pieces of clothing, but the accessories are what really stood out to me and I bought quite a few of! But first, the features - you guys also really liked this release it seems. First up we have LadyMK2000 wearing the Plush Sky Jacket Green, which although is really not my style, looks awesome here! The greens work together very nicely, the different tones are complementary to each other and I like the mix with a fun print and texture added to more neutral pieces like the trousers. I really like the accessories in this one^

Also in green is anaritamiranda styling the Balenciaga Inspired Ruffle Top Forest Green which looks great against these white trousers, the tuck of the sweater is total perfection with the belting design here! This is more more style of wearing green, it really makes green a workable colour. The accessories are stylish and fitting, the shoes look great and the bag adds some fun colour =)

Next up is LadyStez who is choosing the Balenciaga Inspired Ruffle Top White and also the Dior Heels White for the styling. The sweater is looking super smart with this split leg skirt, the neutral tones to the snake print really work well with that. The shoes are a good addition, and the design around the calf is still on show with the split of the skirt. The rest of the accessories are also super cute with the look, definitely some of my favourites!

And finally also in white, but the Can I Reach Now White sweater is the_chuba, also including the Angharadbbz Gucci Inspired Mules in the look. The look is casual with the use of the jeans, and I like that the raw hem of the sweater is really highlighted with the dark denim. The shoes add a cute dark touch while the pink in the bag gives some femininity - super cute^

I bought quite a few pieces to style up, and while I didn't buy any clothes on my first visit, I'm sure I will purchase some at some point in time. First up the McQueen Inspired Body Jewelry which was originally in silver and I always thought, 'if this was gold I'd wear it more', and my thoughts have been answered with this piece! These trousers are great with a black polo and this piece, the print works so well with the design on the necklace. I kept black and gold in the accessories, but light with this tan overcoat, it's a cute style for Winter for sure =) Next up the Angharadbbz Gucci Inspired Mules, I love the originals of these, so I'm quite happy to have them in another colour and the silver hardware detail gives good options for looks with silver highlights too which is the direction I took. The neutral black clothing let the shoes and the silver additions stand out - I'm particularly loving my addition of these earrings^ And lastly the Dior Heels Red which are super fun! I love the patent style to these, they really shine and stand out, even with more red in the look with this skirt - I'm totally gonna repeat this styling for sure^ The black keeps the look neutral so the focus is all about the red, I love it and think it will be great for Autumnal stylings =)

L I M I T E D E D I T I O N | Release Review

This weekend we got a little something special in a release of Limited Edition! It's been quite a few months since our last release (February - and quite a few pieces are still available in the Plaza if you want them!) so this has been long awaited. There was a top up offer of 50% more SD's, and luckily the spoilers came out on Thursday, so you could plan accordingly =)

Highlights This release is a mix of recolours and new pieces - I really won't mention the recolours much, the pieces really aren't so much my style, and while some of the colour combinations work nicely, I think others are a little questionable. I'd have also rathered more pieces recoloured, with just a couple of colour  options rather than a few pieces with lots of colours. The new pieces however are better, and there's a mix of clothing, accessories and styles.

Accessories The new accessories really drew me in to the release! There are a few pairs of new shoes in a mix of styles, I do quite like the style of the Max Flats, the colour is a perfect neutral for summer and the square toe is great, but I'm not such a wearer of flat shoes so I'm passing on these for the moment. Also quite loving the LE Round Heels, which are the blue ankle booties with the cool sphere on the heel - these have such a great metallic vibe! I'm also very much a fan of the bags, both the LE Small Shoulder Bag and the Max White Handbag are really my thing being super minimal on the design front. I did think they were quite expensive for what they are, which was really off-putting, for a style like this I'm expecting around the 40SD mark, while these were 60-70SD. The one benefit to being minimal is that they'll work well with a lot of different styles though, so definitely won't sit unused!

Clothing So the recolours are so not my thing, but the new pieces are closer to my preferred style - they just don't look like LE clothing, does anyone else think the same? The design is all fairly minimal, which I really like, but the execution isn't up to scratch for me. The Blacknwhite Flower Jumpsuit is pretty cute, I like the loose fit on the doll but the fabric is half-sheer which I don't like the look of on my doll - I'd take the floral print on another item for sure though! The Tulip Denim Jacket and Pants are a cute pairing, I like the bright denim colour and the ripped applique additions are unique, which do make them stand out. I don't like the fit of the pieces for my doll, but they've both sold old, so I look forward to seeing stylings on you guys^ And lastly to talk about the all-beige styling, which by nature I should love as I love beige clothing, but these pieces, the Max Dress and Jacket are just a step too far into simple. It's really the design and details that let them down for me. The Dress is a little too shapeless on the doll, and if you're paying almost 100SD's then it really needs to be a good dress. The Jacket is a little better, however it's a style I know I shy away from as I've had similar styles before and not gotten wear from them.

Prices This release ranged from 25 to 135SD's, and as always, this was SS/Royalty-limited. However starting on Friday when the collection was released, everyone was given a free week of SS, so technically, this is available to everyone! I think the recolours were fairly well priced, however the new pieces were priced as a typical LE collection but design-wise did not match up to typical collections.

Styled Outfits I just picked up one piece, the LE Small Shoulder Bag and I'm super happy with it! I really had to pair it with other blue tones, and I love how it's worked out - I'm sure I'll try and work it with some other colours next time, but blue and white are classic^ For the first look I picked out a blue pair of trousers, I tried quite a few pairs under the criteria of being darker than the bag and this royal blue pair worked out best. I kept a smart shirt as the trouser waistline really works well with that, but did play with light blue shoes - these aren't a perfect fit to the bag colour, I didn't have anything that was a perfect match, but I think the darker tone between the pieces balances them and it's not too noticeable. I love this for a smart look that doesn't involve black! For the second look something lighter with white trousers - this bag looks pretty good with any white clothing, so it's easy to find things that work^ I decided to go with a blue top, this one has such a great light shade, I love it with the bag so much, and the details on it really add to the look - the black around the neckline was a perfect opportunity to choose a black belt and I also went with black sandals and sunglasses, which I just think is a great pairing against the paler tones. I'm super pleased with this outfit, it's really one of my favourites of the moment =D 

Features And for the features - these are mixed with new pieces and recolours, but the recolours have sold out much quicker than the new pieces. First up FunOpler styling the Blacknwhite Hat which is quite a fun and trendy piece, while it's not my style, I can imagine a lot of cool looks with this, like this one! The layering of the white skirt with awesome sleeves and the black furry top really works well to highlight the design of the hat, such a great pairing idea. The smart shorts keep a summer stylish vibe and I love the use of the fishnet socks, a fab balancing piece to work with the hat design^

MeLolitka styles up the Tulip Denim Pants in this cool blue and white based styling I really love the use of accessories in this styling, I think they're all great pairings with the jeans. The white piped details really pops out with the other pieces added, the belt, shoes and furry stole are perfect pieces here^ And I'm also loving this bag in the styling, the blue colour is perfect with the tone of the denim =D

Next up is the_chuba wearing the LE Balenciaga Inspired Sherling Jacket Black which is one of the recoloured pieces - this is definitely the most classic colour pairing for the piece, and it's perfect in this look^ The chunky black polo looks great under the jacket, the big collar is perfect to fill the wider neckline that the jacket brings. The boots are a perfect vibe with the pieces, while the light wash denim brightens the styling =)

And finally is yelich styling the Brown Handbag (which really looks black to me!) in this brown-focused look. I really love the pairing of these to brown/beige pieces, I love the combination of the chunky knit with the miniskirt, it's super cute and I think it's a style that works very nicely with the bag^ The lighter accessories in the look really help to make the dark colour of the bag really stand out in the styling!

Printing pants

Bright printing today from the_chuba, completely making me wonder if I should rethink these trousers! I didn't find these trousers so much to my style at first, but this styling really makes them look quite stylish and fun^ The print really pops against the minimal silver coat, I love the open style around the legs, that works perfectly with the trousers. The V neckline of the coat is also nice, and the necklaces are a perfect filler. Love the rest of the accessories too, the bag and heels are such a trendy touch that catch my eyes =D

Pale pastel

What a sweet styling in preparation for spring - coming to you from the_chuba! I loved the combination of this pastel pink overcoat with the washed denim of the jeans, it's eye-catching and a pretty current trend that I'm seeing all over the place^ I love the pastel sandals in this look too, they work well with the jacket, and then there are contrasting accessories with the bag, which I think works nicely =) The chiffon blouse is a super sweet addition and I love the lace trimming!

Dotted explosion

The final feature of 2018 - a dotted artsy explosion in this styling from the_chuba! I love the orange and red combination of the dresses, it's such a fun combination of the rope-style dress beneath with the sheer red dotted dress on top, that's such a great idea for the pieces! The dresses are styled casually with the pom pom sweater, but I think it works. I love the chunky rock 'n roll style of the boots, it's a nice contrast, and the denim backpack is a cute addition =)

Print mix

Summer is coming soon in this styling from the_chuba making layering a summer sport too^ This look uses a lot of lighter based pieces, colour and material, to layer up - and I love it! These trousers look great resized, the cropped length is lovely and makes them much more wearable, and I love the look of the printing with the stripes of the split long shirt, it's light and works really nicely. Both pieces look good with the coat too. And I love the accessories, the gold accents look nice, the shoe snake-print is definitely not too much in the mix with things, I love that the outfit looks good with a flat shoe^

Sequin pieces

I styled up this Callie's Picks Blue Twinkle Paillette Skirt in a recent styling post, but this outfit from the_chuba is an amazing way to wear this piece! It looks so good shortened to a miniskirt as well, and with a casual style of pieces, like this long loose sweater. The dark grey is a great tone for the skirt and the navy blue on the skirt really pops in what you can see of it - it also works perfectly with the intricate floral design on the bag, what a great accessory choice^ As is the use of these velvet boots and the furry stole =D

V I N Y L | Styled By You / / Styled By Me

Last week brought us a brand new collection of VINYL, a small store with a hispter vibe that usually has a couple of great pieces that work well for a lot of people! It's got 5 looks, including one for the guys and this release seems to have a mix of some basic pieces along with a couple of eye-catching styles for you to pick up!

   

I decided not to do a review as it's pretty small, but I for one love the peacock-styled printing that's available in co-ord form front and centre in the store! The accessories are also pretty stand-out in this release I think with some fabulous shoes on offer and a couple of cute bags to choose from =D

As usual with styling posts, first up the features - I haven't seen too many people wearing these pieces, but there's a couple that really stood out to me, firstly Marta-43 (who always looks pretty good^) wearing the Jacket and Trousers Woman, really creative names there I see^ Anyway, the pieces look awesome! The black base from the polo, boots and gloves really makes the white on the peacock-print pop right out from the screen and highlights the mottled-ness to the teal colouring, I think it looks amazing and the accessories and additions are perfect for the look =D

Next up is the_chuba wearing the Skinny Jeans Woman, a neat pair of black high waisted skinnies with a stepped hem - and the best part being they're in SC's! I love this outfit, and the jeans make a great base piece even with their detailed hem. The jacket and accessories really pop against the black and the splashes of colour do stand out. I love these platform trainers with the jeans, I think the style works really nicely with them =)

And finally my stylings from the collection, working with two of the pieces, first up the Skinny Jeans Woman because, really, how could anyone pass these up?! I felt like they were almost too versatile when I was putting together a look as so many different pieces work well with them - in the end I went with something a little smart with this blazer and choosing pointed mules and a clutch to accessorise. There really are so many options and I look forward to seeing this jean style become a staple for us throughout this year! And secondly the Denim Shirt Woman which I thought I'd try out because I loved the mix of denim shades used in the piece - and I think I really quite like it in this look. I'm a serial tucker-in-of-shirts, and I was tempted this time, but decided to leave it untucked as it really does style nicely this way. I was tempted by an all-denim look, but it's quite a lot with the duo denim of the shirt so I decided to go with my favourite white combination of jeans and blazer and accessorised with my favourite blue boots (which look great with this shirt I think!) and this blue Fendi bag which looks awesome and stands out nicely without taking anything away from the shirt =)

Red raw

Red pops sure stand out and the stripe in these trousers definitely do in this look by the_chuba featuring one of our HBs this month! I love the resizing of these trousers to make them a wide-leg-crop, it works really well for them and the look is great, with the trousers being a perfect fit for the shoes^ The plain black on the top half looks great against the checks of the trousers, and I love that the outerwear used are a couple of slightly less-seen pieces but that work really nicely in the styling =D

Tasseled up

Such a cool casual style with a lot of layers to it today styled by the_chuba! For me the first thing that stood out was the use of this anchor sweater with the tassels layered at the hem, what a cool creative idea to add to pieces! And the green Gucci bag really pops with the navy of the sweater and also the coat on top. I love the versatility of these jeans and they look great in this styling too, the denim tone really pops^ And the black boots and sunglasses, they finish the styling off well =)

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

Here is our second Tribute of the season - Versace! It's one we've had in the past, although not since 2014 and I think this offering is a huge improvement on our previous Versace release^ I will comment that we have also had some Versace through Young Versace and Versus Versace as well. The homepage ad is fun and shows off a lot of the different aspects that this collection has to offer =)

Highlights The store has two floors and 9 different looks to chose from. And it's a huge step up from our last Versace Tribute store^ Nothing for the guys this time though. There's quite a mix of styles for you to work with and types of pieces - overall not a bad Tribute release I'd say!

Accessories There's a real range of accessories with this release. There are 3 pairs of shoes, 2 of which are boots and one which are a classic sandal heel, the Sky High Medusa Sandals which are fairly minimal, with black colouring and gold details that should work with a lot of styles and outfits. The two boots are both well embellished, the Versace Embellished Over Knee Boots have coloured jewels and a classic currently-popular style of boot, and then the Versace Inspired Ankle Boots which come up just above the ankle, are also black, but have just gold chain embellishments. I love both pairs of boots and can't wait to style them, I think this will be the same for a lot of others too^ Then there is a small selection of other accessory pieces. One bag, the Versace Inspired Two Tone Bag which is in the box structured style mostly in white with a black flap over the top. The details on the bag are very pretty and so incredibly thought out, you should all zoom in and take a look at them! The Versace Inspired Necklace is the only jewellery, it's gold and delicate and in the choker style, I think it looks really good on the doll as well. The Versace Inspired Cowboy Hat fits well with the collection in the Plaza and is a memorable piece from the original collection. The Western Gold Buckle Belt is one of my favourite pieces from the whole release, it's minimal but has nice detailing that makes it stand out. It's something I can see pairing with so many different items from my wardrobe!

Clothing I think the release really covers the original collection well in terms of the styles of clothes on offer and I think there should be something that works for everyone there. There are numerous dresses and skirts to choose in every style available in the store, first up the more minimal black-based pieces which will be easiest for most people to style, the Ravon Corset Dress is the most minimal of the selection, it's a maxi design with a split in one leg. It also has an interesting neckline design, which I think makes it stand out in a crowd! In a midi length is the Lilac Silk Dress, which is eye catching in the collection as it's quite different and much lighter in colour and material to the rest of the pieces. The material is soft and flowing, and I like the colour, it's very pretty. This dress also has a leg slit in the design, and I like the straps at the top of it. And getting shorter, an A-line mini dress with the Marked Shoulder LBD, which comes with a gold-detail belt attached and some golden embellishments in the design along the hem. This dress has a really nice shape and a great fit on the doll - it would also appeal to me if it didn't have the belt attached, or was just the skirt, I think that would make it a little more wearable. And the final dress is even shorter, if you can even call it a dress - the Versace Inspired Blazer Dress which I completely bought as a blazer and not a dress! It's minimal in black with just gold buttons, which makes it appeal to my style. I also like the very wide neckline. In the store it's paired with the Embellished Tube Top, but I think you could very well go without anything underneath as it's not cut too low on the chest. This blazer-dress style is a popular one right now so I can see this piece being a good choice from the store! The two skirts in the store are much more colourful and print-focussed than the dresses. There's the Layered Versace Inspired Skirt which is a maxi length piece with layering of detailed lace with a pleated skirting ontop covered in a black and gold baroque-style print - it's definitely quite something, it doesn't really fit with my style, but I'm sure it will with someone =D And the second skirt is the Silk Pleated Shell Skirt, which seems very summer-appropriate to me, but the shell print is very pretty and I love the light blue colouring. While we're on this print, there's a whole look you can buy with it, the Silk Shell Bustier which has super pretty lace detailing on the hem and on the straps, the Silk Shell Coat, and the Silk Shell Stockings.

There are two bodies in the store two, providing a minimal option with the Versace Inspired Black Body which is very much as the name says but it has a cute neckline like the Ravon Corset Dress, and then something more decorated with the Feather Printed Swimsuit which has a more classic shape but a beautiful printed design on it. There is then just one top left, the Versace Inspired Western Denim Shirt, a cropped rolled sleeved piece which has light stitching and gold detailing, both of which make it stand out really nicely. And lastly the bottomhalves, two pairs of trousers which both come with their own belts and added accessories. The Versace Inspired Denims match the Denim Shirt and are in a nice darker denim colouring, and I really like the slim fit they have on the legs. Then there are the Leather Pants With Cuts, which have a slashed cutout pattern down both of the legs, which for me is a little off-putting, I would have loved these without the cuts because the leather looks good, the have a nice general fit and the length of the legs is perfect.

Prices This release ranges in price from 16 to 38SD's. Nothing is limited to SS or Royalty only, so everyone has the chance to buy everything. The range fits well with the previous Tributes that we've had, so no complaints with this one.

Styled Outfits I didn't find myself splurging too much on this one and just bought a few pieces. First up the Versace Inspired Blazer Dress which I wore very much as a blazer, it really is very short so trousers, or at least maybe tights, are kinda necessary for my style - I chose these gold printed trousers to match with the gold buttons. I contemplated a polo under the Blazer Dress, however decided to leave it clear and add a faux fur ontop to give some texture. Secondly the Versace Embellished Over Knee Boots which are such a fun piece, that I added further fun to with this fluffy coat. With accessories for this one I think there are so many options based on the jewels on the boots, I've gone with red, but I think an emerald green or a pretty deep blue would also make good options^ And finally the Versace Inspired Western Denim Shirt and the Western Gold Buckle Belt paired together. I found it a little tricky to find a pair of jeans that I already owned to match this shirt, I think this pair works ok, but it's not the best - maybe I will have to buy the Versace Inspired Denims afterall ... Anyway, I think the denim works ok with this overcoat and I kept with the gold theme for my shoes and bag, which I think helps to highlight the detailing on the shirt =)

Features And now maybe for the best bit, the features! Firstly polinapolinka, wearing the Lilac Silk Dress in this cute and quite feminine way. I like it layered with this white blouse, it highlights the straps on the dress, and also fits well with the white mesh socks paired with the funky platform heels. I like the gold jewellery added which works with the studs on the straps. And I also like the splash of red of the bag with the light lilac of the dress =)

This look is from dm2udm2u and uses the Versace Embellished Over Knee Boots - wearing a mini-dress with the boots is great to really show their design off! The tights and sheer polo are great to make this look into a more winter one. And I love this teal bag paired with the boots, plus those earrings, they're fabulous paired with the boots^

This look is more minimal, from the_chuba wearing the Versace Inspired Two Tone Bag - it really stands out against these minimal clothing, the tan of the skirt works perfectly to highlight the embellishments on the bag. The black fluffy sweater and boots then bring out the black colouring on the bag. A perfect look for a detailed piece =)

All about the denim in this look from _miskis, who is styling the Versace Inspired Western Denim Shirt and Versace Inspired Denims which just highlights to me how much I should pair the Shirt with the Jeans^ I love this furry coat ontop of them, it really helps the look be not too denim, and the colouring works nicely with the denim tone. The black boots look amazing and I like the use of the brown beret and red lip!

 The final feature makes use of the Versace Inspired Blazer Dress and is from beringelalara =) This is going down the 'dress' route for this piece, and it does work out for this doll where I don't think it would work for my styling. I love it with these slouched shiny boots, and the Gucci bag is a good fit for the overall look, as is the choker necklace and the beret. Love the smokey red eye look and the use of the tied scarf as a bracelet =)

Silver sleek

Simple and chic with a casual touch for this Sunday feature from the_chuba! I loved the use of the cropped and well-designed denim against the smart-ness of the style of the coat, and I also love the added back-piece, the split is cool and really brings something to the overall look. The slouched loose deep-v wrap top is great, I think it looks fantastic in this outfit and suits both the jeans and coat really well. Accessories pretty spot on too, love the long cross-body, the strappy heels and the sunglasses; effortless chic^

Silver shiney

Suuuper duper casual today, but I love this combination from the_chuba! What stood out to me was the use of the It Girls Miu Miu Inspired Silver Sneakers, they look awesome and are perfectly styled in this look. The ripped jeans and leather jacket style is one which will work everytime, but I like the addition of the oversized top, it works well, as do the jacket in hand along with the printed scarf and rose sunglasses, they're a good style-fit together. Also very much loving the big hair look, totally perfect in this outfit =D
