T R I B U T E S G A L L E R Y | Styled Outfits

So I got far too many pieces from this release XD I have ended up with 9 bags, 3 pairs of shoes, 5 pairs of sunglasses and a bracelet ... oops! But everything is so unique! I will do my best to style up a lot of pieces, but some you'll definitely have to look out for in future stylings. 

First up the Fendi Baguette Blue Crystal Purse and as soon as this blue coat was released, I knew the two had to be worn together! Love the combination and love the final outfit I put together. With the tiny red details on the bag I knew I wanted to add some of that in, and ended up with this great vest plus accessories, I don't think it's too much at all and I think the colours balance well, especially with a white base for the rest of the pieces. This is a fab Spring or Autumn look and I'll be repeating it for sure^ Next are the Gucci Glasses Gold and Dior Butterfly Saddle Bag - the glasses will go with so many looks but with the yellow details on the bag I think the two pieces are great together. With the bag base being denim I was quite keen to work denim into the look, and these panelled jeans were just perfect and I love the smart-casual styling I've come up with. Had to get a bit more yellow in there, this over shoulder coat is fabulous for that, and kept the rest of the additions pretty minimal, which has worked well to make sure the bag design really gets a highlight here^

The next look uses both the Prada Sunglasses Crackle and Fendi Baguette Logo Handbag, again these glasses will look great in so many outfits, but also are a great colour mix to go with this absolutely classic bag design. It was so easy to style and I had a lot of options, overall I was quite undecided on what to pick for the first styling with it! I know there will be many more to come. Kept the clothing on a similar brown and black colour scheme and I think it works great, the lighter beige in the skirt and sweater really make that darker brown of the bag pop. And I love the accessories in this styling, those earrings are perfect for the colours =) Next is the Dior Koi Fish Saddle Bag which I was so excited to style because it's so different, and I've not seen anyone else wear this one yet. These trousers are a perfect colour match for the green on the bag, honestly that pairing alone makes me so happy! The rest of the additions just had to be pink, I did try out some darker shades and had a few good pieces, but overall a pale pink set of additions worked nicer, think it's super cute and I really like it, this will be perfect for Spring^ And for the final look, the Butterfly Mask Glasses Black and Dior Fur And Crystal Saddle Bag which were both also super fun to style. With the fur trim of the bag I kind of knew I wanted my first look to be with this fuzzy white coat and I kept the rest of the look dark to go with the dark denim of the bag. These jeans were a perfect choice and I liked the super dark denim with the black belt because that was an easy way to get other black pieces into the outfit - the leather shirt is a great texture against the fur and these glasses fitted perfectly!

L I M I T E D E D I T I O N #55 | Release Review

A little late, but LE55 finally was released in October - of course I was travelling that weekend and got to it a little late, but I don't know, the rush must not have been too bad because I was still able to pick up some pieces in addition to the pieces that friends very generously gifted me^ Let's get on into the release:

The release has 3 floors with a total of 16 looks for females, 2 looks for males, and several pieces available in both male and female fits. Overall I really like the animal print logo and love the red and navy interior, looks super stylish and just gives me good vibes of the collection. This release seems to be a mix of dressy and some stylish-casual pieces, there's definitely wearability here and it's not just a red-carpet release which I do appreciate. And I really feel Autumn/Winter looks with this one and loving that too!

Accessories: I really love the boots in this release, both the Olive/Black Leather Boots and the Brown Leather Boots have great designs and look fab, plus I think will look good in many different styles of outfits. There are also some sunglasses, the Red Shades and Tortoise Triangle Glasses which I really love the look of, super stylish designs and I think they're both perfect fits with the rest of the collection.

Clothing: There's some super fun pieces in this release. The first floor has some really nice pinks and reds, I really like the Red Leather Top and Pink Feather Skirt and whilst I wouldn't so much wear them together, think they will make for some great looks. The Stained Leather Trousers also really stand out, the mix of colours is super Autumnal and I like both the leather fabric and the loose fit to them and I think the all-denim look of the Denim Cargo Skirt and Denim Balloon Sleeve Top is quite cute and I think will make for some fun Spring/Summer outfits. The second floor is quite dressy, I think the Gold Hole Dress really looks so elegant and great on the doll, those gold details really make it unique, and I the ensemble of the fur trimmed Gucci Sheer Dress and Balenciaga Leather Cape also looks amazing, I'm so into wearing dark brown, looks fabulous^ The piece-de-resistance has to be the Burgundy Croc Jacket, beautiful colour, love the croc fabric, great shape and looks fantastic on the doll - super popular and I've seen so many dolls wearing this one already. The third floor is a bit of a mix of warm pieces and dressy pieces. The Fur Cuff Sweater looks super cute and cosy, sad it sold out before I could get to it because would have loved to try this one. The jackets are really nice here, I like both the Brown Leather Jacket and the Miu Miu Suede Jacket - great Autumn pieces in solid versatile colours, I think these will do well in a huge range of styles so can't wait to see more looks coming out with these pieces. The Tiger Fur Coat is also pretty fun, not sure I'd get the wear out of it, but I can really see it wearing well on other dolls.

First up Bianca.Vos with the incredibly popular Burgundy Croc Jacket along with the Brown Long Belt, pieces which look great together. I think layering the mini bustier dress on top of the jacket is absolute perfection - the colours, fabrics and styles of the pieces are perfect for each other, honestly made to be together^ And the belt finishes the combination perfectly, along with those fabulous shoes and gold earrings to pair with the belt. Love this sleek styling so much!

Next up is harpie who I spotted in 2 looks and just had to feature both! On the left are the Stained Leather Trousers and Book Strap Bag together, so many fun colours in the trousers to pick out and I love the tan cardigan of the top along with the little bit of red at the neckline there, the red patches therefore really pop on the trousers. Then on the right are the Stone and Silver Earrings, Burgundy Croc Jacket and Brown Long Belt - two of the same pieces as above, but showing so much versatility in a completely different outfit. Love the pairing with the skirt, again, so perfect for each other, and the light tones in the skirt really highlight the sheen in the jacket^

Next up is miloshki, also in the Burgundy Croc Jacket - but just see how versatile it is?! Another perfect styling for it, and something completely different to both the previous looks. Burgundy and blue feels like a winner, these tights are the cutest with the deep colour and I think the boots are the perfect balance here. The look is mixed with sweet white ruffles and an exaggerated collar, now that works well with the blouson sleeves^ Love this a lot =D

The final feature comes from SIEL_ wearing the Miu Miu Suede Jacket and I was so pleased to see someone styling this, I loved it in the store and I love it in this outfit! Super cute and preppy. The black leather segments have been styled well throughout the additions, especially the shoes and bag. The plaid of the skirt is a nice fit with the deep olive and the white really brightens and pops, drawing your eye in to the look. Such a cute one^

S T Y L E D O U T F I T S

Now for my stylings. First up the Stone and Silver Earrings, Miu Miu Suede Jacket and Black Leather Boots - with the leather on the jacket I knew I wanted to add more of that to the look to really highlight it, these trousers are fantastic with the style of the jacket, I love the combination so much for Autumn/Winter. I kept the rest of the look pretty simple, the light top keeps it from being too dark, then I stuck with leather in the rest of the accessories, I also think the length of these trousers is perfect to ensure the heel design is highlighted. Second up is the Green Velvet Crop Top, which isn't typically my style, but adore the colour so much and this was a challenge I was up for! I love this outfit so much, and even had quite a few options to choose from, so definitely more versatile than I had anticipated. I was super keen to wear this skirt, the green and the dark olive hem were just right, the pink belt was the inspiration to add more pink in the look - different but I love it a lot! Accessorising was super fun for this one, think everything is just kinda right here^ And then thirdly are the Stained Leather Trousers which I really loved styling, and again, had quite a few options for. I opted for green (subconsciously fitting with these other looks XD) fitting with the panel down the side, I really think it works well and the trousers definitely have a sheen to them like the boots and top. Can see so many fun options for these and think they're a great Autumn/Winter piece.

And of course, had to wear the Burgundy Croc Jacket too - I've gone all out with the burgundy here though, and I love it! These boots are fantastic with the jacket, and then I couldn't resist a skirt to match and the bag quickly followed. The 'bubble' style to the skirt works nicely with tthe blouson sleeves of the jacket and this was super fun to wear and I think it's something I'll look to repeat for sure. And last but not least, the Maroon Fiberglass Skirt which I haven't seen anyone else style, but I think it's so fun and actually was pretty easy to work with, I recommend trying it out! I really love all the different purple and pink tones in the layers so it was easy to find options for this one, I love the oversizing of this shirt and then I had the perfect boots to match, along with fun sunglasses^ I just didn't have the perfect bag, tried out several different ones, but nothing was quite right either on colour or design, so I stuck without one, but I think it still looks good =)

S U B C O U T U R E | Release Review

Finally time for another Subcouture weekend - really some of my favourite weekends on Stardoll! Limited vibes, but no rush and time to really think about the pieces you want to buy. Love the pink tones in the advertising and I really like the look of the special offer item, those pinks and reds together really speak to me^ Lets get on in and see what the collection has in store for us:

The release is 3 floors with 6 looks per floor, 16 looks for female dolls and 2 looks that come in both male and female versions. Overall I would say I like these vibes for Subcouture, it's not too dressy while there are still pieces that you can dress up, but a lot of pieces work in a more casual style, which I like for Subcouture. And generally the collection does seem very wearable. Now for sure, a lot of the pieces aren't my style but there's a lot of versatility there. This time for me the accessories aren't too stand out, I don't love the style of most of the pieces, however I do appreciate that they fit pretty well with the clothing items on offer. I have picked up a couple of pieces, the Miu Miu Plaid Platforms are super cute, love both the plaid and the lovely sparkly buckle straps over the foot. The Rick Owens Cream Boots are also very tempting, love the light colour, the knee high design and the overall fit on the foot, I'm just still thinking about what I would pair them with. I also picked up the Clock Necklace, which is more of the simple elegance style, and while there is a clock-face on it, I think it looks like a good versatile piece that will be easy to include in outfits. With the clothing I really am a fan of the sequin and sparkly pieces, and there's a number of these pieces to choose from. The Teal Sequin Dress looks fantastic, and there are matching Teal Sequin Gloves if those take your fancy, I love the mix of colours, sequins and lace on this piece along with the overall style and fit of the dress. I could already see a few different outfits with it in my mind when I saw it in the store. With dresses there is also the Velvet Corset Dress which has a fabulous sparkling skirt and I really like the purple colour on this one too. With tops there are the Sequin Body Shirt (plus available for male dolls too), Black Sequin Top and the Purple Gem Shirt - these pieces all look great, the fit the doll really nicely and I think are all pretty versatile, they'll work annually, not just for the typically sparkly-season we're entering into! For me the Sequin Body Shirt is an especially good option because it has a great mix of bold colours in the design. And can't forget the Black Ruffle Pants, these are such a fun piece - I'm a real sucker for a ruffled piece and these look great, they fit the doll well, have a sparkly base, and will make for some real stand-out outfits!

F E A T U R E S

First up is Bianca.Vos wearing the Olive Corset Dress - this is such a great option for the dress and honestly the pieces look like they were made to be worn together! The sheer top makes the dress perfect for those colder days along with the fun design on the tights and shoes, which overall are perfect for the lace detailing around the waist on the corset of the dress. So stylish as always^

Next we have harpie in both the Blue Scrunched Sweater and Miu Miu Plaid Platforms, and again these clothes just look like they were made for each other. Love the stripe detail of the skirt with the blue, it really gives me Sonia Rykiel vibes. And the shoes really work nicely to complement the rest of the accessories added in the look, love these sheer ankle socks and the simple additions in the bag, belt and jewellery =)

Then we have sarah_1980 who is the perfect definition of 'more is more' - all of these pieces come from the collection but weren't put together like this, so the Diamond Sunglasses, Red Plaid Dress, Black Sequin Top, Midnight Sparkle Gloves, Pierced Saddle Bag and the Maroon Laced Boots. These items look absolutely amazing together, and I really think the outfit sells the pieces incredibly well, for me, moreso than the store display does. The layering of the top and gloves with the dress looks fab and the hint of sparkles adds an extra level of glamour!

Finally for features is Vinicius who wears the Laced Dress and I love this Jacquemus-esque styling, and again, selling the piece much better than the store does - so I think I might need to pick up this dress now XD The dress stands out here and it's all been about adding accessories, works perfectly! The light tones complement the dress perfectly, every accessory is just right for a vintage south of France styling, love the heels and the straw bag especially^

S T Y L E D O U T F I T S

So I bought a lot of sparkly things! First up, the Sequin Body Shirt and Pierced Saddle Bag - so much fun styling this top and had quite a few options to choose from, but in the end of the blue sequin trousers won, you can never have too many sequins! I kept it relatively simple in the rest of the look, but tried to make it more Winter-suited with this overcoat, I really like it. The blue glasses and boots kept the colour theme going and I added the bag as a little something different for the finishing touch. Second are the Black Sequin Top and Miu Miu Plaid Platforms - I loved these trousers with both pieces because the belt detail on the trousers is perfect with the buckle on the shoes and the sparkle of the top, and of course, I have a matching bag for the buckle design too so that was a must to include here! I was really trying to make a jacket work with this outfit, but nothing was working but actually going jacket-less became my preferred option, something a little different for me, but it looks good^ Overall super simple but I think those sparkly little details really do pop nicely. And finally the Teal Sequin Dress and Clock Necklace in a look that I just adore so much! I really envisaged this dress worn as a skirt, and it was so easy to make that work. I loved this oversized black top with it and kept those Winter vibes going with a polo and some chunky boots, the sheen on the boots is great with the sequins. Accessorising was kept on the silver theme because the necklace worked really nicely against the blue tones in the dress. I'm really so pleased with this one =)

Onto the second Tribute of the Summer 2025 season, Dries Van Noten, and I can honestly say I had such a good time styling this collection - it was a challenge but a really good one that I could get my teeth stuck into and it really got my creative-styling side flowing! First up is the Beaded Net Top, with the peach coloured beads this was the colour I knew I wanted to focus on in the outfit. An all peach look wasn't quite working for the top and I think that was down to their being a lot of black in the look, so I balanced it out and I'm pretty pleased with the result. The black trousers ended up working well because the bead colours really pop on the dark base which I think serves well for the added peach accessories. Next is the Black Beaded Jacket which really reminded me pieces from the early Tribute releases and something just told me I had to have it! This was the piece I spent the longest with because it was hard to decide what to go for - originally I wanted something with sheer elements to the skirting, but I wasn't very happy with how the options were going, so I turned to glittery pieces and this skirt just looks fabulous! Not only does it match with the glitter but I love the ombre of colours ending in black at the bottom, the perfect balance. Super simple in accessories, but I knew I wanted more glitter and this silver bag is perfection here, I love the pairing of it and I really love this outfit, something different for me and even different from my usual dressed up glam styled looks^

Then in the next set, first up are the Tied Brown Belt and Teal Pants paired together - I am so in love with this look, I think it's perfect for Autumn and I'm feeling so inspired by this brown shade! The print on the trousers made it easy to use the belt and the rest of the browns of course had to match. I had been trying this shirt on for a different set of stylings so it was right at the front of my closet and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to wear it with this look! Choosing shoes and a bag to match were easy from there and I kept a little more blue with the glasses, I think overall it's a perfect balance of colours and I just love this outfit XD Second is the Winged Top which I thought was super cute on first look at the release - it was a little harder to style than I had first thought it might be, but the purple and golden design gave quite a few options and I ended up playing with both for a great outcome, I'm so pleased! I was struggling for a jacket or coat to wear because I didn't want to go too purple and I'd already selected these trousers and the accessories, luckily I stumbled across this light brown one in my closet, and it's so perfect not only in colour but also in shape and fit on the doll, the hanging-off-the-arms style. After styling this outfit I was really feeling so inspired^ And last but not least, the Cut Out Maxi Skirt in what was the quickest look to come together, this piece was super easy to style. I knew I wanted light beige tones to go with the skirt pattern, and this sweater is a perfect match, along with these sweet heels. I added a little blue with the bag but otherwise kept it light and neutral - again another great outfit for the Autumn and I can't wait to repeat this one as well =D

Excited to finally share my looks from the first Tribute of the Summer 2025 season, Alaia! I really enjoyed working with these pieces and I'm already excited to style them again in other looks. I did pick up a couple of other pieces which I'm sure will eventually be included in other stylings. First up is the Periwinkle Crop Windbreaker. Love the colour of this a lot and really enjoyed working with it - I'm super happy I had some accessories that matched this colour well, I really love this pairing. Blue and white are great together, so choosing finishing touches for the look was easy - these white trousers have a nice pleated design which I like with the gathering of the top. Next up is the Ruffle Denim Skirt, thought this was such a cute piece and excited to style it - and coincidentally it's almost the opposite of the first styling! Blue on the bottom with white added this time. I did find this piece a little tricker to style than I had imagined it would be, not sure why, but I was quite indecisive with choosing what to pair with it. In the end, I'm very happy with the styling, white pieces will never not go with denim - I especially like my accessories with this one, think these shoes are great with the ruffle design of the skirt and love the slim silver belt here. And the third look uses the Yellow Wave Shirt, which I wanted to highlight on it's own without it's co-ord piece, and honestly I love this look so so much^ With the pleats of the top I wanted to keep pleats in the skirt and love the colour combination of yellow and brown, these pieces are so perfect together. Accessories came quickly to the styling, I knew I wanted more neutral pieces with these shoes and this bag easily slipping into the style. Such a dreamy styling and I'm dying to repeat-wear already =D

In the second set of outfits we start with the Pink Aviators and Maroon Le Coeur Bag and it had to be all about the burgundy here - this is such a fun Autumnal outfit! With the bag I knew I wanted to wear these trousers, the colour has a slight contrast but I really love the pairing, the shoes came quickly because they're a perfect colour match to the bag. I did umm and ahh over what top to pick, in the end, a little valentines theme to match the heart of the bag, this adds some lightness to the look and with the lighter colour added, I think it was a good fit to then add the glasses. I'll bring this look back out next February! And for the final styling the Exagurated Denim Pants and Red Le Coeur Heels together - with jeans now I definitely prefer a looser fit, and these are quite unique to the Plaza, I think they look great on and work well with both slimmed and oversized looks overall. I wanted to get another piece that I bought into the look and I think the dark denim works well with red, so of course my favourite red top came out as well, I think it looks great here. Accessories were simple and I stuck with the heart theme from the shoes with this gold necklace and bag, I really like these pieces together and I love the overall look for more casual vibes^

A N T I D O T E | Styled By You / / Styled By Me

The end of August brought a new Antidote release to the Plaza - a 3 floor store filled with 16 looks and pieces available for both male and female dolls. For me, the Antidote releases used to be good way back in the day, but the ones over the past few years have been quite mixed, and the direction of the store vibes seems to change all the time. This time for me felt like quite a nice collection of pieces as a whole - no, not everything is my style and lots of things I wouldn't so much wear, but I think as a whole this collection works and there are a good mix of versatile pieces (both clothes and accessories) along with more one-off items. First up, the features - harpie styles up the Asymmetrical Pleated Dress, I really like the overall design and colours of this piece. While it isn't so much my style, I love how it looks in this styling! The tight fitting makes it a great piece for layering, and this skirt looks beautiful with the yellow of the sleeve keeping the blue as a popping standout colour. The accessories are all beautiful and fitting, I especially love these shoes and the intricate bracelet here with the clothing =)

Next is miloshki wearing the Drop Waist Charcoal Dress, Book Stack Bag and Gold Bee Hairpin - such a cute vintage styling, really love this! The dress being sleeveless gives so many options for layering underneath, this shirt with voluminous sleeves is perfect and also pairs well with the white collar of the dress. The accessories are a beautiful combination, it's all about the vintage - from the beret with the pin, the headscarf, the bag combo and the checked shoes ... so much love for all these pieces together (and also feeling regret that I had this necklace and sold it XD)!

And then we have sarah_1980 who wears a whole outfit from the collection, with the White Mini Dress, Cheetah Collar, Snake Skirt, Beaded Olive Purse and Crescent Moon Kitten Heels. I think this highlights well how versatile the pieces are because these items were all styled separately in the store but look great together! The length of the dress is a great one for layering skirts underneath and I think this midi-length around the knees is perfect. The mix of animal prints also works out well, the pieces are far enough away and the white gives a solid base for both to get their own moment to shine in the styling^

And now for my own looks - I was a little late to the release so a few things were already sold out, but I actually still had a lot to choose from, in the end I chose 3 pieces. First up is the Moon Sweater, I think this is a sweet piece and I like the muted colours along with the small brown/orange star details agains the blue. When I saw the piece I knew I wanted to style it with white on the bottom and blue and brown/orange accessories and so I did just that! These trousers are a great fit with the hemline of the top, I think the loose fit works well with the fit of the top too. Accessories were hard to choose because I had a lot of options to choose between! But I'm happy with the final choices, these heels are almost a perfect match for the top and I picked this mixed bag to bring a little of that brown into the rest of the styling and I really like that touch to the look. Super cute overall^ Then I paired the White Pleated Skirt and Beaded Olive Purse together because all I could think about was wearing these green boots and they just went perfectly with the skirt too. This was super easy to put together, I knew I wanted to go with an oversized top and tried quite a few out, but this white shirt just gave the perfect base to let the green shine. Completed the look with more green accessories and love it so much =)
