Random News...
My next bit of random news is that the newest theme on Stardoll is 'Street Dancer' which is all very 'Gangsta'-ish which would mean it doesn't really suit me but there is some uber-cute items released for the theme like the Loop NYC Radio Bags- they are so cool (sorry, do I sound like an eight year old, I'l try to use more complex words than cool!). They are gratifying!
Yorkshire Terrier in a bag!
Yipee, my favourite dog ever.. in a bag... virtually! That dog is the spitting image of my yorkie in real life, he goes by the name of Frisky! That's what I'll call my newly purchased virtual dog! Why I called him Frisky? Because he is always jumping on me when I see him but he's so tiny and cute!
Bye for now!

Make-Up your MeDoll
When I first heard Sephora was being replaced with a new virtual make-up shop, 'Dot', Stardoll's own brand I was hoping that lip gloss and sparkly eyeshadow would be for sale in the new shop but now that 'Dot' is released to my dismay is has basically the exact same products as 'Sephora' but some are way more expensive... oh please come back, 'Sephora'. Even though the lipsticks, mascara etc. have a much funkier container with a nice effect in 'Dot' I prefer 'Sephora's', I thought 'Sephora's' was much more chic and elegant. I did buy the electric blue mascara however because it's new and hot though I don't think I'll ever wear it! :) I also bought the electric pink lip pen because I think the colour is gorgeous- that's one advantage of 'Dot' some of the colours are bolder and brighter! I do have to admit the 'Dot' blushers are much nicer too! So I suppose right now I can't decide which shop I like more! What about you?
Styling Studio
Above is one of the new layouts to the Styling Studio. Yes, there's two sections to it now- one for hair, make-up and jewellery (above), the other's for your Actual MeDoll e.g your nose, eyes, mouth (below). I am in love with the new layout for the make-up section (above), it much more glamorous and elegant! Way better than the crummy old one! I love it so much, word cannot express it! (A bit too dramatic, yeah?) I think it's great the way you can move your MeDoll and put the jewellery on any part of your body now- who knows maybe make-up for your body will be released soon as well? When I say that I mean nail varnish for your fingers and toes!
Below is the new layout for your actual MeDoll, even though I don't like it as much as the other section in the Styling Studio it's still nice! I think it's fun looking and not tacky like the old one! All and all I love the changes to the Styling Studio! What about you?

April Hot Buys
The April Hot Buys preview has been released and even though it may not be the best yet, it's better than last month anyway. That was my first reaction... but the more I look at it- the nicer and more stylish the clothes seem to be! They made a lot of the clothes small on the preview and the pink print dress it kind of covered up by the black fur vest so I can't wait to see them in big form. Anywho... I can see them well enough to review and grade them.
1. Splendid Hot Buys Headband- Hmm.. I don't really wear these types of headbands but this gold one is nice enough and it does have a nice unique design, it almost looks like a 'Celtic' design which is cool! B+
2. Rio Hot Buys Vest- This fur (seeing as it's virtual- obviously faux!) vest from 'Sonia Rykiel' looks more like a scarf to me and wouldn't actually look nice as a vest in my opinion. I would wear it as a long black faux fur scarf over a nice long dress and it would look gorgeous! Grading it as a vest..*shudders at the thought*... I'd give it a D-.... as a faux fur scarf...a B-
3. Bisou Hot Buys Print Dress- Even though I can't see the whole 'Stella McCartney' dress on the picture (and the Hot Buys Spring 2009 doll hasn't been released yet) I can see enough of the printed 'YSL' dress to know that I love it! It's design seems funky and fun to me, the shine is lovely too and the shape perfects it. A-
4. Pretty In Pink Hot Buys Blazer- I feel, for some strange reason, that I should like this 'Luella' blazer, maybe beacuse so many others do... but I don't. Believe it or not! It almost bores me, to me it's like something you'd see on a Western movie... and I have no idea why! Maybe it will look better on an actual MeDoll, anyways for now I'll have to give it what I think it deserves a.. C-
5. Pretty in Pink Hot Buys Heart Skirt- Unfortunately I don't heart this heart skirt inspired by Marc Jacobs. Sorry if you feel I'm giving out a lot! :) I know, the shape is pretty which would bring up it's grade but I actually don't like the colours or pattern used so from me it's a C+
6. Bisou Hot Buys Frock- This is one of my favourite items, the assymetric top and the bubble waist, it has a circus vibe (to match our blog's playlist!). I love it, possibly my favourite out of the April Hot Buys Collection and I'm giving it an A+
7. Fudge Hot Buys Tunic- I love this 'YSL' tunic- it's cute and flirty. Stardoll done a great job on this one, the real version isn't as nice but the real version has a 'YSL' locket instead of Stardoll's heart locket. B+
8. Bisou Hot Buys Necklace- I'm loving this necklace, maybe this is my favourite piece out of this month's Hot Buys actually! It's diva-licious! I am so buying this! A+
9. Rio Hot Buys Bow Purse- This 'Marc Jacobs' bow bag is so pretty and chic. I am buying this for sure! The shape isn't sooo unique but I love the simplicity of it. There's something about it that catches your attention! Yet another... A+
10. Pretty in Pink Hot Buys Heels- Oh Gawd, I love these! The colour, the design! So chic and stylish- I want these for my wardrobe, not just on Stardoll but in real life too! Do I have a new favourite of the whole collection, did I mention these shoes are 'Marc Jacobs'? A+
Well they’re my reviews- what do you think of the new Hot Buys? Did anyone else notice that Stardoll have lost their ASOS obsession but have replaced it with a Marc Jacobs one? See the designers of this month's Hot Buys if you don't believe me!
Bye for now!

DenimDesign
When I first went to design I saw the new 'denim' colours, (as seen above!), they're nice but that's what I was expecting anyway!
Above are the new available to design fabrics! Gorgeous, much?
I lurve them, especially the top two but... the prices... expensive, much?
I know, I know compared to LE or even Antidote they're cheap enough but I think Stardoll could have made them the slightest bit cheaper! Do you agree?
Of course I knew there must be new designs in the StarDesign Interior too and when I saw these (above) hanging on the wall in StarDesign Interior I knew I was right but when I went to design the furniture I saw the new colours but there was no new furniture available to design, you'd be expecting to see the furniture on the pinboard pictured above but no..?
Weird, huh? Maybe Stardoll just haven't got around to it yet or something..?
Opinions?

Antidote
Above are the bag and parcel you get when you buy your items from the hawt shop, I'm lovin them! It was almost a shame to open them but I got over it when my favourite clothes of the shop popped out of the bags- all the clothes and the pair of shoes I bought from the collection= my faves!

The Mysterious Changing Dress
Luckily I had a picture of what the dress looked like before saved on my computer from when I first got the dress! Yes, I know my MeDoll wasn't the most attractive thing back then!!
Your opinion on the change (the dress not my MeDoll, lol!)

New Hairstyles
This reminds me of Rihanna's latest do, yes the one where her fringe covers her eyes. I don't fancy it but I'd say it would look nice on some people. Again, you know how much I hate short hair on girls- that includes MeDolls! Woah, it was a sigh of relief when I put my gorgeous long hair back on my MeDoll. Anyways, this hairstyle is nice compared to the next one you are about to see...
Exhibit B
I think the eww-ness of this picture speaks for itself...
Anyway I know everyone has different opinions, I'd be delighted to hear yours, please comments (I'm begging you, lol!)

DKNY- Stylish Spring
DKNY Spring 2009: Part I
Despite the fact that a lot of people are saying that this collection isn't as good as they hoped it would be for the "Stardoll DKNY comeback", I love it! I think it represents everything Spring is supposed to be about! It contains all the latest trends for Spring: bold prints, polka dots and big bows. I also love shoes, they're funky yet stylish. My favourite items of this collection would have to be the Ikat Print Dress (the design is so unique and chic) and the oversized-bow belts, they're just gorgeous in every way! Unfortunately, I do have one or two complaints (hey, I am only human!) The scarves... ugh, I hate the shape Stardoll made them in and they remind me of Western movies for some strange reason! Also the pale yellow clothes would, in my opinion, have been nicer white.
What do you think?
DKNY Spring 2009: Part II
I love this part of the Spring collection too! For some reason I always connect orange with Spring so I feel this a very suitable colour Donna Karan used, ditto to the blue. In the first part to this collection most of the shoes were the same, just different colours but in this part they are all unique and individual, which is great! I especially love the black Open Toe Ankle Boots but they really remind me of the MKA Oxford Peep-Toes! My favourites of this collection would be the blue Sky Print dress and tube top! I love them, especially the shape of the top, so fun and energetic! I also adore the Twill Colourblock dress, it seems very 'organic' for some reason, like so may others, I am unaware of!! :) I don't want to diss Donna and her magnificent work but... those tasseled-tunics again remind me too much of Western movies! That skater-type printed tee with jumper underneath doesn't take my fancy either!
Once again, what do you think?
DKNY Spring 2009: To Be Released
As you can see from above, a lot of fabulous accessories will be released in the coming month from DKNY. See the picture to see when each lovely necklace or bracelet will be on sale and for how long. Yes that's right, there is a time limit to each one: one week. Don't get your hopes up though these probably won't become rares because of the one-week time limit because nearly everyone will always log on at least one a week! They are all to be pretty expensive though... seeing as the first one which is on sale now, the '20 years' one is 24 Stardollars! I bought it though, like the fool I am with money! :) My favourite is the 'DKNY' chain though I like them all!
What about you??
Bye for now,
Lisa.

March Hot Buys
The March Hot Buys have been released and after first glance I'm thinking, "These are nice". That's a bad thing for me though because usually after first glance at a Hot Buys list I'm thinking, "These are gorgeous" and now I'm only thinking that the March Hot Buys nice? Only two item of clothing really stood out to me, the purple HotBuys jumpsuit and skirt, now they're hot but some of the others are just, "meh". Anyway I'm going to act like an annoying teacher and review and grade them.
1. Splendid Hot Buys Earrings- These ‘Tuff Cookie’ earrings are hot and funky. They look like something you might see in an R'n'B Music Video. They would go well with a LBD or any hip-hop themed outfit. I love the unique shape and therefore giving them an A-
2. Bisou Hot Buys Denim Jacket- This jacket's style is fairly unique and fresh but to me it doesn't really look, how would you say, Hot Buys-worthy. However, I'm not saying it isn't nice but when it comes to grading it... B-
3. Rio Hot Buys Bodycon Dress- Hmm.. this 'Luella' dress does seem very exotic but there's something about it that doesn't seem very 'attractive' to me. The original is much nicer as in the original they used hot pink and deep black that differs from the almost-faded colours Stardoll used. I like the assymetric shape though and will give it a B-
4. Fudge Hot Buys Shoes- These shoes are cool, funky and Stardoll definitely picked the right shop for them, they are everything 'Fudge' is meant to be about! They would go nice with a tracksuit the same colour but when it comes to how fashionable they are.. not so stylish. You wouldn't expect to see these on the cover of Vogue now! Also as I said with the denim jacket, these shoes don't look really HotBuys-worthy, more like normal runners. For that reason I'll have to give them a C+
5. Pretty in Pink Hot Buys Skirt- I have this skirt in real life! :) It's from 'ASOS', the number one online boutique where you can order clothes! I was like 'Yay', the first item of clothing I can own in real life and virtually. Back to actually reviewing the skirt, I love it! I think it's high fashion yet fun (did I mention that it's comfortable?). It would go well with a black top and black tights and when it comes to grading, it has to be an A+
6. Bisou Hot Buys Jumpsuit- I think this mini purple jumpsuit is hot! I'll never grow tired of that colour! Jumpsuits are big for the runways now and that black and gold belt perfects it! I will definitely be saving my Stardollars for this! A+
7. Pretty in Pink Hot Buys Bracelet- This 'Diseya' "Call Me" gold bracelet is cute and flirty. Text bracelets are the next big thing and I really want that trend. I like to get one of these in real life as well as Stardoll and when it comes to being the teacher that has to grade them I'll give it an A-
8. Pretty in Pink Hot Buys Circle Purse- This handbag is also from 'ASOS' but would I buy it in real life? No. Don't get me wrong I do think it's a cute bag and everything but I think the studs and feathers make it look too 'Western-crashed-into-Barbie'. Although I probably will end up buying it on Stardoll because it's a Hot Buy! Yes, I am stupid like that! :) Grading time... C+
9. Pretty in Pink Hot Buys Denim Dress- It looks like something I've seen before somewhere on this website but I like it! It is from '3.1 Philip Lim' and in my opinion it's chic and very suitable for strolling around the park or city in Spring! B+
10. Bisou Hot Buys Trousers- There's something strange about these trousers, above on the '10 Hot Buys' picture they look lovely and stylish but on the 'Winter Hot Buys' doll they look sort of ugly. The reason for the difference, you ask? In the '10 Hot Buys' picture they are grey trousers with chic white stripes and a shiny texture but on the doll it is still a pair of grey trousers but with tacky black stripes. It makes all the difference! For that reason I can't grade them until we see what pair comes out in the Starplaza!
Well they’re my reviews- what do you think of the new Hot Buys? Please comment! Bye for now!

Coincidence?
You decide: coincidence or are Stardoll taking hints from her club?

More and More Re-Releases
I mean take this absolutely hideous dress for example, to me it looks like some black plastic someone threw up on. You'll probably get a laugh out of this- it's 6 Stardollars and for Superstars only- whereas you can get gorgeous HotBuys cheaper and for everyone!

Also the Feburary issue of TeenStyle has been released today. The Romance Issue. I can guarantee you a great read from this, with very well written articles by Castile Lee and Kasia Font.

They wore various funky party dresses in the graphics whereas in the article Castile explained the 6 hottest party trends for this year.
