Nicholas Kirkwood Summer Tribute Store Review

Hello dollies.

So sorry for my delay of reviewing things, I am pretty busy with finals and such recently before I am finally off for summer. I know, I know, it's totally sucks when your friends are already enjoying the sun while I am still stuck here with exams :( Anyway to cut things short and straight to the point, new tribute store opened up this time, and it's a tribute store based on the famous shoes designer, Nicholas Kirkwood. Personally, I was quite surprised to see Stardoll's trying to open up a shoes store, I mean...they are shoes, how they're gonna do that? I was pretty excited really, and it's quite creative of them to actually think about it, the Stardoll team surely had really nice thinking over this one.


Anyhoo, as Nicholas Kirkwood is a SHOES designer, I never expected of them to have some clothes in it, but again, surprisingly, together with the shoes there are some pretty nice clothes and accessories. Compared to Anna Sui's, I gotta say this one is graphically well made. It reminds me of the latest (UPDATE:not anymore) Antidote store, which I think was so amazing with quirky items and bright colourings.

Well let's start with my choices for the clothes, which I managed to grab a few.

1. Glass Spikes Necklace - 5sd

2. Studs Yellow Jacket - 25sd

3. Dazzle Sheen Top - 15sd

4. Lion Face Top - 14sd

5. Spike Heart Shades - 6sd

I just love my Top 3 items, although I know they are pretty generic. There is one similar necklace sold in starcoins called Tadpole Galaxy Necklace in Fallen Angel store, the sheen top reminds me of the top from 7th LE collection, and I am pretty sure I saw the Studded Jacket somewhere that I couldn't recall. But still, I bought them because I think these items are very "me", and also it's because I dont own any of the items I mentioned before (except for the galaxy necklace) :(

Now let's get onto the shoes, which are the main focus of the whole store. Surprise surprise, for the one who is not a shoe-person, I absolutely love them! I am very glad with Stardoll, Nicholas Kirkwood is an amazing shoes designer and gladly, it shows. Stardoll has really made such an amazing job in recreating those shoes from RL version. The shoes maybe are not everyone's cup of tea, but I personally liked it. They are quite edgy, and considering that is what I am trying to do with my medoll lately, I just knew that I have to snap them up.

some shoes that I snapped up first :)

And some real life pictures of them.

So what do you guys think of the store? I know my style maybe not suits everyone, but I know there must be something that you like, right? So what is your favourite item this time?

I was styled by this creative user named .copycat, and she gave me this pink infusion style, which i totally adore!

So here's how I translated her work on my medoll with a bit changes here and there due to money issue :P

Not so much similar is it, but I just saving my money a bit and use what I have. So anyway, what do you think?

Anna Sui's Stardoll Summer Tribute - My Review

The new Summer Tribute is finally here, and this time its Anna Sui's.

From what I observed, people don't really like much this collection. They were made in such hurry, the graphics were terrible and they were quite childish. As for me, once the store was out, I was like quite disappointed. This store is like Gucci 2.0 for me, some of the items are nice, but the others failed to impress me. But still, I am digging on some of the items which I think are quite nice.

So here's my top 5 must have items from this collection.

1. Thigh High Butterflies - 10sd

2. Young Bride Dress - 23sd

3. Plush Collar - 9sd

4. Any accessories, they are so many to choose from :)

5. Black Cherries Top - 11sd

Overall, after trying some items in starplaza, I gotta say I love the accessories more than the dresses. The stockings and hair pieces are so pretty, I love all the turbans and headpieces, not to mention the socks and the butterfly thigh, ah-mazing!! And I gotta salute Stardoll too for sticking to the original designs, as you can see some of the items are really similar with real-life version, they are some which Stardoll recoloured (which I absolutely hate when they did that), but it didn't deviate much from the real life versions. But still, I just wish that they put a lil' bit more effort in the graphics, otherwise this could be a great collection. 

Example of me wearing Anna Sui's :)

So dollies, my advice, just spend your Stardollar wisely on this collection. I don't think I gonna spend much on this one, except for maybe the accessories and some summer-y dresses.

ps - I firstly fell in love with the Dark Gold Heels, but since they were duplicate of them in Fallen Angels with half price, I remove it instantly from my list. And oh, not to forget I love love love the decorations! The swinging stars and moon, the lights, they are great choices to create a showroom in your suite.

Chanel 2012 Summer Tribute - Review

Quoted from USD, "Each Tribute Season starts with Chanel".

As we all know, Stardoll opens up new tribute stores each summer, and for this year the season starts off with Chanel like always. I am personally pretty satisfied with this store, the items were graphically well-made, they didn't change much from the actual items and I can say this store has gotten many positive feedbacks from Stardoll users. I am not gonna talk about the prices because I think they were fairly priced, and compared to the disappointing last season's Chanel tribute, I love this one more.

As you can see, they are so many fabulous items you can grab from the store, it varies according to what your style is, but for me, these are my Top 5 items that I like from the store. Well I actually love the whole collection really, except maybe for the shoes, but I choose these five items in my Top 5 because they are pretty multifunctional and can be worn in various styles.

From descending orders, 

1. Silver Corner Jacket - 22sd

2. V Woven Bathing Suit - 24sd

3. Cloud Lined Vest - 17sd

4. Coco Jacket - 19sd

5. Pink Pearl Clutch - 12sd

So here's the outfit, and for the rest of it you can read it by clicking this link (here).

Bonjour Bizou Flower Girl Headband

I just love this Flower Girl Headband from Bonjour Bizou, in which I incorporated them in my current outfits. It has this spring-feminine touch, and it almost goes well with everything! Plus it costs only 36 starcoins, which is totally affordable!

Here are some outfits I wore this headband with.
