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!

Style: In Your Face

Style_Magazine is a new author for the original Stardoll Magazine. Above is her fierce banner for when she's posting. Her first post was amazing and the graphics were super funky.

In the post, 'Oscar Fashion: Fantastic Four' she suggested what the four Oscar-nominated actresses should wear to the Oscars. She gives a designer brand that would suit each of them, explains her choice and made a great graphic to go with each one, showing the most-suited dress. Below is the image she made of what she thinks Angelina should wear.

Coincidence?

A few days ago I recieved a message from Stardoll notifying me that there was a new Top Spot Topic in Club Style_Magazine. In the topic Style asked us what one change we would make to Stardoll if we could as seen below.

Then one girl, Melissakuh, said her friend lady_laura_xxx had a great idea to make a search engine in the StarBazaar. That a search engine would make it easier to find the clothes you want! Now that would be handy! This then started everybody talking how good that would be and that, that would be a great change to Stardoll. I can't say I don't agree either!

Funnily enough, the next day when I logged onto Stardoll, what did I see but a search engine in the StarBazaar! In my opinion Stardoll are taking tips from her popular club, then again some could say it's a meer coincidence.

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

Inspired By Latino

Contradicting my last post, Stardoll released some brand new Latino inspired clothes this morning, as seen above, all from Folk. I really like the Spanish beige and red dress, it's fun, flirty and exotic! What's your favourite?

One of the releases which isn't really Latino-ish (if that's even a word?) is the pensioner-leopard HotBuys jacket which I like but don't love, but it's a HotBuy so I bought it. Yes, I am weird like that! :)

More and More Re-Releases

It seems like Stardoll are re-releasing clothes every day! It's not only that that's annoying me though, they only re-release the ugliest and most boring, not very well designed clothes.
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!

On the lighter side of today's Stardoll news, the newest gift dress I got is pretty awesome!

It's unusual in a good way. Perfect for a par-tay! It looks like you're wearing wrapping paper or that you were a present torn open in excitement.

The real question is, what do you think? (Please comment!)

Happy Valentines Day

To celebrate this lovey-dovey occassion Stardoll have given us this free gorgeous red "I Love You" lipstick. I love the design on it, talking about fabulous!

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. The graphics are once again amazing too and as you can see from the cover Lou and Keisha from Stardoll's Fashion Forward are the covergirls who done an exclusive interview and a romantic vintage-themed virtual photoshoot. The winners of a previous competition Selena held, Rhiann (Welsh_Witch) and Gabrielle (Punkyfish2007) were models for the Party Selections article. They wore various funky party dresses in the graphics whereas in the article Castile explained the 6 hottest party trends for this year.

Overall the magazine is great! I recommend you read it too!

Valentine Vogue

This Valentine's Day is all about looking great and being stylish. Lucky for us Stardoll users Stardoll has provided us with a way of doing that virtually too.

There has been a release of two new shops and MiniShop releases especially for this lovely occassion.

One for us users that don't exactly have thousands of Stardollars to spend on pixels and the ones that do.

Exhibit A

The Little Pink Shop

How couldn't you love this adorable shop, I mean how could you fault a shop so cute with that funky layout and adorable teddies? The clothes mightn't be the hottest, I admit but you have to say they are they are fresh 'n' flirty! This shop would be perfect for little girlies and they would probably scream with excitement after first sight, (not that I did or anything... OK I admit I did!) Back to the topic of the post, this shop is perfect for St. Valentines Day especially if you're not loaded with Stardolllars, another great thing? Most of it is for Non-Superstars too! The furniture and teddies in here are also available in the MiniShop too (which I couldn't resist buying!)

Hottest Clothing Item:

I am in love with these red hot shoes! I know I already have the in pink (from the Elle Collection) but I never knew how hot they'd be in red until now.

Fashion Don't: Those red-striped-white leggings in my opinion are... eew. The lines aren't proportioned and what would you wear those ugly leggings with? Well.. that's my opinion, some of you may love them!

Exhibit B

Limited Edition i.e Ludicrously Expensive

Eeeh... expensive much? It would probaly cost you thousands of stardollars just to buy the whole collection. I mean I have been saving up for ages and could only afford sunglasses, shorts, a bikini, a t-shirt, a skirt, a bag, a belt and shoes. All the nice things were gone by the time I got there like the hearts tank, Cupid dress etc. They got my hopes up though because they said a few nice things were still available but when I went to buy them it said 'Chosen Item Not Available'. Glitches, again? Sorry I'm getting carried away... I'm supposed to be writing about Valentine's Day shops and the reason this new one is, well, inspire by St. Valentine is obviously because everything is covered with hearts! I found one lucky user who has the whole collection, fionamcgonigle. Tell me if you have the whole collection!

Hottest Clothing Item:

The Cupid Dress. I love it so much, I was so dissapointed when it said it wasn't available!

Fashion Don't:

Either of these two hideous things! That pink baggy maternity top or those tacky jeans? It makes me laugh that someone would have to pay 350 for both of them! Stardoll, will you ever learn? I wouldn't buy either of them if they were for free!

Exhibit C

The MiniShop

Aah, my favourite of them all. I even made a Valentine's room with the fabulous furniture and the cute critters. Sorry for my boring alliteration! :) I think everything is so romantic and chic. Also I love the Valentines interior, then again though, is there an interior I don't love? Oh yes, the clothes or bikini sort thing I am wearing above are from LE, some of the few things I managed to get! You might think I'm dressed like a sl*t but no, I was just trying to find something hot and rare because Valentine's day is approaching! One more thing some of my friends asked me where I got the love cards- you get them as gifts- I got most of them from a certain boy I won't mention on this to avoid embarrasment! Love ya!
