Stylings on DIY's Celine


Received this gift from the amazing Kirsten (sparklewand12) of The Stardoll Lookbook, and words can’t even describe how exciting am I to style this garment up with my touch. What a great idea, it’s like a mini test on styling skills and I had so much fun playing dress up with it! For those who interested to join in, just click here (link) and follow the instructions :)


So on to the stylings shall we?

Well I have made pretty much few outfits with it, I love the fact that it is transparent, meaning that it can be layered up with coloured material to make it look coloured, but for the stylings that I chose were mainly focused on white and black as the colours are so Celine :P

First off I chose to wear this in the style of cutesy angelic vibe, kinda wedding-like with the main focus of white (which is Kirsten’s fav colour btw) and silver. As you can see the outfit was very similar to the one which I posted earlier (click), and it is because I was playing around with the idea of creating a dress from a shirt before coming up with those dresses. The idea was the same but they are indeed two different dresses though hehe :)


For the second outfit, I kinda tried to make it looks quite Chanel-y and preppy. I love layering things, and here you can see I layered up the shirt with black singlet beneath it to create a "vest" effect, and the combination of Young Hollywood's mini skirt and Dior's zebra skirt definitely have created such a wonderful effect. 


And lastly the edgy look which I adoree so much as what I envisioned in my mind came out so well. Love the puffy sleeves and the pleated skirt effects, the spikes necklace and the glasses complimented the outfit so well and you can never go wrong with the studded bracelet :)


So overall which look do you like? And how did I perform on the stylings?
I hope that I did well, and I would very much appreciate it if you leave some comments :)
So till the next post, dollies...I'm in the great mood recently (maybe due to the holidays) so I think theres gonna be more posts in the future.

So have a good day ahead, dolls. xoxo

Romantic White

New outfit for today, trying to brush up my layering skills, although it's not really much of layering involved, no? It's a cute, wedding-like dress, although I don't really fond of the makeup and the hairstyle to match the outfit as it was a bit more matured for me. Well that what would happen when you're plain lazy to change 'em in Beauty section. However i'm so glad the effect I wanted on the necklace came out well like I envisioned before.


I'm wearing:
Top - Rio's Soft White Top 
Skirts - Special Offer and Pretty in Pink
Accessories :- 
White bow - D'signed
Rose belt - LE
Shoes and socks - Anna Sui
PIP's Lace collar + Nicholas Kirkwood's Glass Spikes Necklace

Till later, xoxo

15th LE's Review - Animal Madness

I know that it is no longer a fact that I am totally in love with animal prints, especially the ones that were inspired by feline species, and when the newest collection of LE was out, I was like squeaking in delight and  excitement to see such prints were implied in the whole collection. It was like a box of surprise, exploded with animal prints everywhere once it is opened.

There were on shoes, on clothes, on handbags, on everything! And speaking of boxes, the prints were even on the boxes, how cute! Oh god what's not to love, right?


I know that I shouldn't be "that" excited, but quite interestingly, just a day before, I was imagining of having leopard printed pumps for my medoll, and unexpectedly today not only a pair of pumps were released, there were more than a pair to choose from! That's why I was like in shock of excitement to see those prints everywhere in the collection, it's like Stardoll somehow listen to my fashion prayer, and it is somewhat creepy. Hmm.

Anyway, moving on to the store, like we all knew, the store was out unexpectedly without spoilers and everything. However lucky me, I was ready for LE and managed to save up some stardollars prior to the release of it as I am one of those users who believe in the theory of "LE will be out after Gift-O-Meter" thingy in Stardoll. So when the Gift-O-Meter was out around two weeks ago, I just have this feeling in my gut that LE will be out soon, and indeed it came out true. So dollies, take this tips for future usage, it's very useful next time in predicting when LE's gonna out, although it is not always true :)

 

pictures' source

For me, the collection can be considered as a good one compared to the previous collection, and although there are few things that I think are not really fulfilling the LE standard, they are at least not so disastrous and still acceptable.

Again, I always wish that Stardoll would keep the original designs like shown in the runway and not destroying the pieces by making one piece into two, or adding whatnots addition to make it somewhat cohesive. The choice of colours are kinda okay this time, eventhough I can still see few annoyingly neons here and there.

So here are the things that I bought from the store, although I might be buying couple things more if they were still in stock, like the Moto Jacket and the Heart Platforms. The numerals in the picture are my Top 5 favourite pieces from the whole collection, and I also had made a bit stylings for the items just for the sake of getting some idea of what kind of outfits I gonna incorporate them with.


So yeah, my Top 5 items are:
1 - Steampunk Platforms - 40$
2 - Leopard Print Mules - 50$
3 - Leopard Crossbody Satchel - 55$
4 - Limited Edition Sweatshirt - 55$
5 -  LE Glitter Denim - 55$

I really love those shoes that I bought from this collection, and although the Steampunk Platforms was not really in many users' cup of tea, I ranked the platforms higher than the others because I just love them! The shoes are unique and one of a kind in Stardoll, and I can predict many edgy users in Stardoll will find great use in them! 

So overall, I think this collection is pretty good and decent, although I do still find it a bit hard to incorporate in outfits...well maybe that was just me. Anyway, I think Stardoll is really has been listening to users especially toward the quality of LE as I could see some progression in it, although it's not really that much. But still, its the efforts that count, right?

So, what's better to end this post than by posting LE look, no? So by that, I end this post by showing the photo of me wearing the latest (and hardest to style) LE. In this outfit I am trying to achieve feminine tropical look with tribal infusion, so I matched the top with sarong with complimentary colours and pattern, paired with pink accessories to complete the look.


Till the next post, dollies.

Dramas with the scarf

Finally my most awaited piece from this month Hotbuys collection arrive a couple of days ago. I've gotta say this month's Hotbuys are kinda okay, there are not so many mediocre pieces like couple ones before, but unfortunately the prices are still ridiculously high.


Like other normal, economically wise (and cheap person haha) dollies in Stardoll, I put the drape scarf first in my monthly MUST-BUY-HBs list. There are lot of things I can do with the scarf, it is edgy and I always love drapery things as they have this kinda couture-esque feel to it. And when the scarf was released, I am so satisfied with it. Stardoll did amazing job with the details of the scarf, this piece is absolutely amazing and very well-made.

So here's how I style the scarf, and forgive me for couldn't resist myself from feeling dramatic by being a bit "dark" with maleficent hairdo. What to do, it's just one of those days when I am feeling dramatic on Stardoll.


I'm wearing:
Hot Buys Drape Scarf - Fallen Angel
Long black dress - SATC
Headband - Fallen Angel
Necklace - LE
Accessories - Fallen Angel
Ring - Epiphany

Till next post, dollies.

Accessories.

When it comes to creating an awesome outfit, accessorizing is always the key.

As a person who loves collecting accessories in both Stardoll and real life, I have to say that accessories play such an important role in ones' outfits, as it defines who you are based on the way of how you style your medoll. Each of us is different, and different people has different style.

Therefore, in this post I'd like to share few style that I usually do to my doll.

1. Floral Wreaths

1.6.7 - Pretty In Love | 2.3 - Bonjour Bizou | 4.5 - Jean Paul Gaultier 

Thanks to Lana Del Rey, floral wreaths are so popular nowadays. What I like about these wreaths are the fact that they are like "fairies' crowns" and it is fun in a not very princess-y way, plus by looking at it they definitely bring the feminine and angelic side of you out.

There are various type of floral wreaths in Stardoll, you can choose to buy the already made ones in Starplaza or you can choose to make it on your own, which is much fun and cooler! I used to make one [see pic below] before after getting inspired by this amazing post in this amazing blog, and trust me, the result is very satisfying. You should try it too, it is so much fun, and super easy too!



2. Studs and spikes

1. LE | 2.8 - Special Offer | 3. Nicholas Kirkwood | 4. Mortal Kiss | 5.6 - Fallen Angel | 7. Bonjour Bizou 

These amazing items are used to be stereotyped to belong to only Gothic people, but hello, that doesn't mean by wearing that immediately will make you goths and whatnots. It's fashion, people, like duhh. Studs and spikes will bring the inner rocker chic out, like you are pretty but dangerous and rebellious at the same time...kinda like roses with thorns, they are pretty but dangerous. What I like about these items are they are mysterious, they adds drama to ones outfit and they are very easy to pull off too, with smoky eyed makeup and dark lipstick you're so ready to go.

For those who wanna be edgy but still wanna be girly, I truly recommend this. Adding here and there spikes won't hurt, don't worry ;)

3. Gold, gold, gold

1. Riviera | 2.4 - Bonjour Bizou | 3. Chanel | 5. LE | 6. MSW | 7. Lanvin's | 8.10 - Voile | 9. Decades | 11. Special Offer | 12. Archive
I think this one is very easy one for you. Overflowing of golds everywhere from head to toe can make you look sophisticated and elegant when they are combined with right colours. I always wear them with basic colours of black and white as they are safe, but sometimes I wear gold with purple and red too for a change.

Just remember, although it is so fun to accessorise your medoll with gold... please don't make her suffocated with too much accesories as they say, too much of anything can make you sick.

4. Hats 

1. Killah | 2.4 -  Bonjour Bizou | 3. Folk | 5. Tingeling | 6.8 - Alice&Olivia's | 7. Mortal Kiss 

I always love the addition of hat in one's outfit, they never seem to be out of date. They are simple and very easy to pull off, with the right styling it can make statements and draw attention. Of course in every fashionista's closet there should be different type of hats based on occasion, but at least for me I think there should be one specific hat for street styles. It could be a beanie, a bowler hat, or even a simple cap.

My favourite hat will always be the number 2, you can see I wear that hat a lot. The hat is kinda hipster-ish, and as the word hipster means you're gonna be cool, indeed it is gonna make you look cool.

5. Headbands 
1.2.3.10.11 - D-Signed Bows | 4. Killah | 5. Archive | 6. Fallen Angel | 7. 8 - Voile | 9.14 - Anna Sui's | 12. Antidote | 13. Beastly 

Oh god words can't even describe how I really really love headbands, especially those crazy headbows. Call me fake or super trying to be cute or whatevs, I just don't care, but seriously, how on earth people can not fall in love with those adorable pieces of headbows?? They are fun, they are cute, and the most important thing is; they are very me. I know for some people it might be hard to accept this, but style goes with your personality. As long as it is very you and it makes you happy, don't even bother to think about what other people may think as their opinions don't matter anyway, but your happiness is.


So with that I think some of you might get quite the idea of how accessories play a very crucial role in one's outfit. You can notice in future upon visiting me in my suite or in this blog that I will wear these kinda accessories much often. Although sometimes I do like to change my style than usual, I still stick some part of me inside the new look so that I am not that 360 degree change.

Like I said, just stay true to yourself and everything will come along easily.

Till next post, dollies.
Later.
