YH Mini Release

Today saw a mini collection release of Young Hollywood based on the street styles seen at the recent fashion weeks. There are three different outfits available for purchase, one based on NY, one on Paris and one on Milan. For me out of the big fashion month I only really followed NY and Paris, no idea why, but those just seemed to be the ones I was more interested in looking at pictures from =)

So I managed to snap up a whole bunch of these items (slightly ashamed at the total price!) - I'm thankful that they are available for all members and not just SS, so those of us who have spare SD's, yet their membership has run out, can enjoy the fun too! Prices range from 45SD's for a hat, to 115SD's for a skirt. Probably a little on the expensive side for what the items are, but they are pretty limited and when I last checked, had been being snapped up at a reasonable pace!

I've styled two of the items so far:

Firstly the NY Used Denim jeans, costing 78SD's(850 pairs available) - I knew I had to have these as soon as I'd seen them. Yes, boyfriend style jeans have been in for a while, and I know some people consider them overrated, but I don't! I still love them and will wear them! They are distressed, but I like that it's quite minimal, too much isn't my style at all. I paired them with a simple white shirt, and chose other coloured items to spice the look up. The shoes felt like a no-brainer to me, for some reason, blue shoes came to my mind immediately and these were the first I saw in my closet. I ended up going with the pink cardi, and I'm happy with this choice - keeping up with the trends, and it sports that style, we all know the one, draping your jacket/coat/cardi over your shoulders rather than wearing it like a normal jacket/coat/cardi with your arms in the sleeves. I'm such a sheep for these sorts of style, honestly, you should see my pinterest boards! 

The second look:

This one uses the Milano Blouse, costing 90SD's(750 blouses available). To me this is quite a classic piece, white lace. Or maybe I've just seen a lot of it around! I felt inspired for this look by one of my favourite fashion bloggers, and really decided to try step out of my comfort zone to make it. I knew I wanted to wear a skirt with it, but choosing one wasn't quite as easy as saying it! Literally every skirt I took from my closet worked well with it, so coming down to this one was quite a task. Like that last look when I just knew about the blue shoes, well I just knew about the gold in this one! For some reason, gold was the colour I had to go for, so I selected these Hotbuys Stiletto's quite quickly from my selection - I wouldn't normally wear a strapped shoe with leg showing as I am literally all about making sure legs don't look short or fat(in RL, don't even come near me with a knee length/midi skirt - on my body? Just NO! Haha), but for some reason, these shoes with this skirt looks fine to me ... phew!!! Chose this cute little heart bag which I find myself using fairly often, it just works, and for some reason always reminds me of fashion weeks, why? I have no clue! 

Anyway, enough of my ramblings! I'll get back to reading science articles/writing lecture notes/coughing and choking all the time/reading and writing fanfiction/watching LoveFilm and you guys can let me know what you think in the comments! Come on, you know you want to =D

Futuristic tones

Such a fashion week outfit that I've seen from sweet_gal11! I love the choice of colours, going for mainly neutrals and additing a modern twist with the metallics and also the pale pink and bold purple which are seen in hints. This is such fab modern day look, can't wait to see more like it!

Plaza crazy!

Hmm, so I don't remember posting on Thursday or Friday, was full on prepped to come and apologise, but it appears I did! I was out on a course social on Thursday which pretty much took out functioning on Friday too, then I was studying on Saturday and came down with a sore throat /illness yesterday!

There is a lovely huge 50% sale at the Plaza right now - I've just spent the past 30-40mins having a good browse and deciding what to buy, and even though I'm always convinced I have everything I want and need, I always end up coming out with some purchases! Set me back 100SD's today, but I really like everything I decided to get =D I got several dresses and snapped up quite a few PPQ items, which I feel are much more worth it at half price!

Hope you picked up some good deals too^^

And Today I Wore

Here is the look I am currently wearing (well technically I've worn this for a few days now). I know this sweater/shirt is used quite a lot, almost being overused, but I have been yet to style a look with it. I was just in the mood for it when I was coming up with this, and wanted to keep the whole thing looking quite simple. I chose to wear the lace detailed shorts as I think lace peek-a-boo can be quite cute, and it's something I've not done before on SD.

Accessorised with simple black shades and heels =)

Nelly.com

A nice surprise to log in today and find two new floors of Nelly.com! I love the clothing available for us at the store, so this is a great thing =)

I bought rather a lot of items right away from these two new floors, so many great items which I love and which I'll be able to slip into my closet - I got around 15 things which did cost almost 300SD's, quite a hefty price, but I don't mind paying it for these great items! Here are the top 5 items which immediately caught my eye:

There weren't many accessories in these two floors, so I found that "The Bomb Necklace" easily stood out to me, it's a pretty piece and is definitely in time with current trends, I think it'll be easy to add to any outfit. Most of the dresses in the store stood out to me as they pretty much are all spot on trend! But these ones stood out to me most, the "Snowled Dress" has a modern shape and fit, but my favourite thing about it is the texture/pattern that it has, it's reasonably simple, yet will be very easy to pair with other items to complete an outfit. The "Marion Dress" has a perfect midi shape, it's exactly the sort of thing I've been wanting for my doll! Plus I adore the print, very dalmatian =) The "Bally Dress" just reminds me of fashion week - like I can't describe it at all, but that's what I feel when I see it, and it made me immediately want it! Finally the "New York Sweater", this is a great casual piece thrown into the collection, will be incredibly easy to style and I can see it being popular with everyone, no doubt there will be a whole ton of outfits to show which have all styled it! For me it will look great with black skinnies and some great accessories, the options are just so varied!

Maybe have some styled outfits up over the weekend, have a good Thursday!

Monochrome meet print pairing

RituskaRitka wears this beautiful print based outfit in monochromatic tones. I love the print combination on the top half of the patterned sweater with the dalmatian sleeved blouse. I adore the zipped vest on top, I think it gives a fresh modern feel to the look. It just screams Paris Fashion Week to me - and it's great!
