This is a little off subject, but,

I was completely blown away by one of Mant__*'s rooms.

It's clearly under construction due to the clothes stuffed in the corner, but doesn't it look like the actual LE store?!

(If you were wondering, Mant__* is the one that makes all the LE designs.)

Also, some new items in StarPlaza are out for the new 'Winter Blush' styled outfits. There are a couple of wacky but wonderful wedding type of dresses in Voile, perfect for those Stardoll Party Weddings! The other stuff released so far wasn't very interesting or pretty, but we'll see what happens, eh?

Pretty in Pink 'Heart Shop'? No thanks.

The usual Pretty in Pink Valentine's Day Store is out... and it's horrible. Worse than I expected. The clothes look a tad grandma-ish and it's not really what I expected, looking at last years' 'Je t'aime Pretty in Pink' store.

It looks very cheap, the store layout is dodgy, pink isn't actually a great fashion choice looking at what Stardoll has done with it... Need I say more?

I'm guessing they're release another floor, but I don't know...

There is this one white dress that looks like some poor girls' (Much to her dismay) prom dress disaster.

Here's this years store... ew... ^

And I managed to find some pictures of the old Je t'aime Pretty in Pink store, which in my opinion was much, much better. ^

So, what do you think? Will you be buying anything? I don't think I will.

New Sunny Bunny, Ugly Archive Releases, New Rio...

Ew. Ew, ew, ew. Just look at that those Sunny Bunny Kloz. So fruffy and pink and fairy-ish and cotton candy... It's horrible.

It looks like the disastrous dress-ups of a 6-year-olds fairy-themed birthday party. My advice; Don't buy any of this. It's a serious waste of Stardollars and you can't have 13-year-olds on the site going around wearing this. People will think they're insane. I like that purple teddy though. It's only 5sds.

One good thing came out of Sunny Bunny Kloz, though. Look at the skirt my doll is wearing below. It's gorgeous. And I put together a little Fallen Angel style outfit, since I see a lot of people wearing these wings and they FAIL. (Sorry about that... I always write it that way) the gothic trend miserably.

What I'm wearing;

Black Tulie Pearl Skirt, 13sds, from Sunny Bunny Kloz.

The Fallen Angel Wings from Fallen Angel, 25sds.

The Side Wrap Top from Fallen Angel, 8sds,

The Graphic Tights from the Archive, 6sds, (These tights are something Lady GaGa has worn... I suggest all 'Little Monsters' invest in the bargain),

and the Tennis Shoes, 4sds, from Evil Panda.

It's not very goth when you think about it, but I think it's pretty enough.
You might of seen the rest of the Archive releases, it's all really old and pointless. But it's wintery, so people might be looking for that attire for their Winter Wonderlands from Other World.

The Rio is all really ugly, it resembles the art smocks my Primary School Art Teacher wore. *shivers* So I won't even bother to post a picture.
And this is my MeDoll looking very GaGa... with no shoes... In my Archive tights.

Will you be buying anything?

The Hot Buys are confusing me.

One day they're gorgeous; perfect colours, perfect styles and perfect graphics. The next day, they're hideous, completely unfashionable and the kind of thing I'd rather die than be seen dead in. I'm not sure if Stardoll run out of ideas or if they're just plain lazy on some days, but I'm expecting some better Hot Buys over the coming months. If SD have time to make us brand new graphic noses, lips, hair and eyes, surely they have time to spend on one of the most looked-forward to fashion releases on the whole site.

More Chanel Inspired Items

As all fashionistas of Stardoll will know, those weird, furry winter clothes sold at Tingeling, Fallen Angel, Stardoll and Bisou are actually from the Fall/Winter 2010/11 Ready-To-Wear Chanel collection. A few more items were released today in Fallen Angel.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, take a look at the collection here:

http://www.chanel.com/fashion/11#11-fall-winter-2010-11-chanel-collection-21

Stardoll has released many of the outfits and a couple of items in the past Mortal Kiss store. I wanted Stardoll to release more of the white-ish items and those white furry boots, but they haven't so far. I don't really like how they look on Stardoll, but one day, when people figure out they're Chanel items, I'll be making a profit, just like I did with Alexander McQueen items.

This is my favourite look from the Chanel collection. I think it's gorgeous.

What do you think of Stardoll's adaption? Will you be buying the entire collection when it goes on sale? I know I will.

New Items in Starplaza: Modern Babushka

Once again, Stardoll has created another hideous range of styled outfits.

This one is titled 'Modern Babushka' and has been out for a couple of days now. I waited for a few more items to be released and I was disappointed, no surprise.

Here's a look at some of the items:

They seem to be continuing the 'Paisley Pushkin' range as well.

It doesn't seem that bad when you look at the Starplaza windows. Of course, nothing I would buy but something I've got my eyes on. It all seems a bit vintage to me.

This was my favourite Starplaza window display. It reminds me of the 1920s or 30s or sometime around there. Maybe like things they wore in Mary Poppins? I don't know how to describe it. The prices range from about 6 to 15 Stardollars, so not too expensive. Doesn't mean you should go and buy it all though, unless you're turning your Suite into something inspired by old London or Russia. It doesn't look at all like a Modern Babushka (Babushka means grandmother in Russian, also you might of seen those doll in a doll in a doll toys named 'Babushkas'), it looks more like an op-shop crochet disaster. On a more optimistic note, these are my personal favourites:

Here we have the Silk w Buttons dress, 15sds, from Rio. I quite like it. Still very thrown all together and icky, though. The Hot Buys Cotton Bag, 9sds from Pretty in Pink. Quite cheap and I like the kitty... If that actually is a kitten. The Marjan Pajoski Insp Dress, 14sds, from Rio. I did a little research on Marjan Pajoski and he is a Macedonian designer or something. He designed that weird white swan dress that we saw in Voile a while ago, and finally the Hot Buys Stardoll Rocks top from Fudge, 12sds.

Hot Buys 'Bow Sweater'

EEEEEECK. Thats mostly all I have to say about the Hot Buys Bow Sweater that was released yesterday. (Sorry I didn't post when it came out, it was my birthday and I was busy answering Guestbook comments and such... Or maybe it was released today as it is the 18th today in some countries... Ohk moving on!) Here's a picture of it on my doll, if you haven't seen it already:

I don't like it at all. It's some hideous yellow that reminds me of the colour that comes onto the floor when your dog does a pee-pee in the house, and those disgusting dark green bows... Yuck.

I bought it though, naturally, due to the fact that I collect Hot Buys, even if they don't appeal to me. I wasn't surprised that I didn't like this – The January Hot Buys are just an ugly reminder of the types of clothes grandmothers make for their grandchildren on TV. I must admit, they look better in real life as always. It's 15 Stardollars and not worth the money in my opinion.

Will you be buying? (Oh, and I think Stardoll has forgotten to take away the Christmas decorations from the Starplaza.)
