LE OUT NOW!















GO, GO, GO!

I wish I was Superstar right now, because despite what people are saying about the new collection - I AM IN AWE. It's so Autumn-y and fun and very outdoorsy - which has become a huge trend this year.

Will you be buying anything?

CC, Superstar Girl Song Creator: Live Chat













CC - who is also a new Superstar doll is going to be hosting a live chat today at 3:30 PDT. I will try and make it (if I can find out where it is taking place), and ask a question or two for you guys! Click here for more information on the singer.

Excited?

She is also a RC, visit her suite here!

P.S. Click here to join our latest competition!

Update:
The live chat is over now and my question(s) was not answered, but she did join my club!

New Doll: Olga Kurylenko













I am saddened to announce that gab_the_bomb has been let go from the blog due to creative differences. I am taking over her job as 'Doll Announcer'. Should be fun.

Now on with the post, the latest doll for Superstars only is Olga Kurylenko - who is she? Olga is a Ukrainian actress and model. She is perhaps best known as the Bond girl. Camille Montes, in the 22nd James Bond film, Quantum of Solace. She also portrayed Nika Boronina in the movie adaptation and video game Hitman. Born in Ukraine, she became a French citizen in 2010.

Eccentric Magazine's Eccentric Comeback!

About a month ago, Star_Awards began her transformation. Or should I say comeback? She wasn't exactly sure what she wanted and she wasn't exactly sure if she wanted to pursue her wants - make sense?

Earlier today her mind was made up. Eccentric Magazine is back!

The spoiler is a little mysterious in a sense because I cannot really make out what is in the faint distance of the shoot, a fairy maybe? Anyways, a date is set as you can see and it's closer than I imagined. I wish Eccentric the best of luck!

Excited?

Beauty Craze: Red Lips

Autumn/Winter 2010-11


















The confident classic is reborn. Any shade of red will do - from blackcurrant to sweetest raspberry - but make it chic and modern rather than retro. Outline with a lip pencil to keep the things precise, and then play with the shape, texture or tone. Take the colour slightly beyond your MeDolls natural lip line. Go for hyper-glossy texture, or work the moist-matte look - there are a ton of options.

If you are sporting a red lip already, or you are going to after you've read this post - be sure to leave a comment with your username so that we can visit your suite and check the look out. You may end up in the next Beauty Craze post! And yes, we will be featuring more than one red lip look - so you have a bigger chance of being featured!

Trash the Designs?
























Here at Tyler's Top Trends we try to keep you updated with everything going on, on Stardoll that is fashion related. Well, late tonight I found out some very saddening news.

When we last informed you that the design Triangles was being released for the hit clothing line, M by Marcela, it sold like hot cakes. The Mandala pattern, which happens to be the one that is currently selling has somehow disappeared from Marcela's design studio, making it one hot and wanted item. But, it gets worse, the next pattern that was set to release, the Mosaic, is also gone.

Assuming that these designs won't be remade, the line was great while it lasted.

Could we be expecting a new collection anytime soon? ... And would you want one?

We'll keep you posted!

Update:
The designs were not deleted, but the maxi dress as to which the designs go on!

August Vogue Covers!

Hey everyone!
So, at the end of the month, I wanted to post this month VOGUE covers, basically, I'll judge them, and I will do the same at the end of each month, this will hopefully be another segment that I'll be doing from time to time, although, I wont be featuring all the covers, I might try to change the countries from time to time, but for now here are ten covers. Furthermore, I might be posting other magazine covers, just for the sake of getting the latest fashion news!Vogue India - This cover was actually a reprint from Vogue UK's last month issue, covergirl is Cameron Diaz, by Regan Cameron. The cover is decent, the fact that its actually a reprint was what made me disappointed. Vogue Greece - The cover looks quite extravagant, the dress is remarkable, and on Yulia Mizhuy, one of the youngest models, who looks splendid, Yulia is a model from Rush Models, and is one of the most unique models, I love her cheek bones!Vogue Portugal - I have to admit it, the simplicity of this cover is incredible! The covergirl is Daniela Ruah, who is a Portuguese-American actress known for her role in NCIS: Los Angeles. Perhaps one of the best in my opinion. Vogue Россия (Russia) - This is actually - as I believe - the only close up cover on an August vogue cover. The covergirl is Laetita Casta, Laetita Casta is a french model, and actress, she is quite old (approximately 32) but still looks flawless on Russian Vogue cover!Vogue España - Vogue Spain's cover is quite fascinating, the covergirl is Anna Selezneva who is a Russian model, who is approximately 20 years old, she is known for her fierce looks, which got her to Paris instantly, the cover is decent, but not the best.
Vogue Paris - This wasn't Freja Beha Erichsen first cover on a Vogue magazine, but certainly its one of the best covers I have seen! Freja Beha Erichsen is a Danish model, who is 22, and is one of the most popular models, known for her modeling skills which got her into Paris and Milan shows for the most popular designers such as Louis Vuitton, Prada and Miu Miu.
Vogue Deutsch - Simply remarkable, Vogue Germany's cover is so innocent looking, and with the Australian super-model Abbey Lee Kershaw, who is 23 years old, Abbey Lee was known for her outstanding talent, and was named 5th top model out of 50! She accomplished so much as a model, such as being the latest Fall/Winter 2010/2011 face of Chanel!
Vogue Italia - Italian Vogue is usually coming up with such intriguing covers that just astound me! The covergirl is Kristen McMenamy, who is an American model, who is 45! One of the oldest yet still looking fierce. The story behind this cover is, Kristen interpreting in images the environmental drama that's afflicting the Gulf of Mexico. This is one of the best I have seen if not the best itself!
Vogue US - Named the 'Age Issue' Vogue US debuts its cover with the covergirl Gwyneth Paltrow who is an American Actress at the age of 37, her achievements as an actress are quite a lot, and she looks graceful as she models for Vogue!
Vogue UK - Another magazine uses the super-model Freja Beha Erichsen as their covergirl, the shot is not as high-fashion or as glamorous as that of Vogue Paris, however, this shows Freja Beha's natural beauty, which is spread out all over the editorials of the magazine. Wonderful, I loved the whole natural look.

So, what do you think about the Vogue Issues? Which are you favorites?

Poll


Please vote So I can know!


You asked for it, so....

Here is the tutorial you wanted! I will try my best to make it as simple as I can :)

STEP 1: Find the graphic that you want to animate. I wanted to animate the one below:

I SUGGEST USING A GRAPHIC THAT IS EITHER 100px, 200px, 300px, or 400px wide!

STEP 2: Find out WHAT you want to animate. In this example I am going to animate the eyes and the sparkles.

STEP 3: Make another graphic, identical to the first one except this one will look like your end product.

This is the confusing part. Do you see how I drew eyelids and more sparkles? You want to make your animation simple if you are a beginner. Start with making your medoll blink.

STEP 4: Once you have your two pictures, save them into your computer as a PNG file (for better quality).

STEP 5: Go to Picasion.com

STEP 6: As shown in the picture below, Hit choose file, and for #1 use the graphic of your medoll with their eyes open. For File 2, upload the graphic of the one with your medoll's eyes closed.

STEP 7: Once you have uploaded them, go down to where you see a dropdown menu for size. You should know how many PIXELS your graphic is wide. Select the option that works for you.

*IMPORTANT! If your image is not on the dropdown menu, you can go to advanced. I have tried setting my own width, but pictures will not upload. You may try, but it may not work*

STEP 8: Choose how fast you want your medoll to blink in the "Speed" Dropdown menu. A good speed is Normal.

STEP 9: When you are done filling out the options, it should look something like this:

STEP 10: Hit "create animation"

STEP 11: Go to they grey sidebar where you should find your EMBED code. Copy this code and paste it into a word document and save it. Or, save the picture to your computer. I suggest doing both.


STEP 12: Now that you have your animation saved in your computer! You can upload this GIF file wherever you want, such as a blog sidebar, or even your banner for posting!

Your end product should look something like this:


gif animator

Soon you will get the hang of this.

BEGINNERS END HERE.

If you want to link your picture to your suite, here is how.

Step 1: Get back out your EMBED code. It should look something like this:

Step 2: You will notice that when you scroll (not click) over your animation, something will pop up saying GIF animator. You can change what it says when you scroll over it. See where I underlined below, replace that area with what you want it to say when you scroll over it.



Step 3: Now to link it. In the picture BELOW, see where I underlined. Replace that link with whatever link you want. I will link mine to my Stardoll suite.


You are done with linking it! REMEBER TO LEAVE THE QUOTATION MARKS WHEN REPLACING WHAT YOU WANT.



Do you like these tutorials? Do you want more? What would you like tutorials on? (Making poses, creating clothes, blog tips, etc...)


If I get positive feedback I will make another one on animation thats more in depth :)

Street Chic: Stardoll Style, The Outsiders

STYLE ICON EDITION!

http://i34.tinypic.com/263khlt.png

Who: bluegreen86
What: This season’s outdoorsy looks are a breath of fresh air!
Wear: In this case, a whole bunch of creative goodness!

Now I know this trend doesn't necessarily mean to literally dress like you're at one with nature - but I felt like Mel really captured this look, she is trending it on Stardoll. If you are into this look and want to give it a go, try using the outdoors as inspiration.

Top Fall Trends!

Tyler's Top Trends is the blog to escape all the drama, enjoy some fashion, stardoll-related news, and just cool down from all the heat you can find in PSG, or other gossip filled blogs, so what am I going to be doing? Reporting latest fashion trends, magazine editorials, covers, and mix in with stardoll of course, since this is itself a stardoll-related blog :D

One of the trends I noticed while scrolling down page after page from various designers, I noticed a few trends, which are very noticeable, throughout the collections. In fact, quite a few trends come up while analyzing the details behind these outfits, here are a few trends I noticed (sorry for not including pictures, since I am not using my personal laptop.)

1- Foxy Fur: Whether it was real fur, or faux one of the trends this fall is fur coats, and fur vests. This trend is quite high-class for a lot of people, some are against (quite a few I can come up with), and some do not think its a bad idea but wouldn't be caught wearing fur. A few designers who used this trend include the famous Chanel, Burberry Prorsum, Fendi, and Acne. Fur provides a way to escape the cold weather and look remarkable, but are you against using fur? may it be real or faux?

2- Golden Age: We all know fall collections are filled with very smart, dull colors, such as beige, navy, black, dark colors, but what was a seen trend was how a few designers, such as the deceased Alexander McQueen, Diane Von Furstenburg, and Balmain; used the color gold in their collections, bright, cheerful, and very fashionable, the textiles printed on dresses and outfits were superb, what do you think of this Golden trend?

3- Mashion: Mashion is what I described as Man+Fashion, a few designers such as Alexander Wang, Celine Phoebe Philo, decided to do minimalistic male designs, the looks are quite manly especially in the trousers part, of course, the look still is fantastic, but Mashion? Would you be caught wearing clothes that look like they have been taken off a men's shop?

So what do you think of the three trends in fall?

Lipstick Magazine Published

Because of the fact that school is in session again, I find it hard to keep up with the 'gossip' going on in our little world, so frankly - all I know about this magazine is that it is returning for a second time. So what does TTT think about this?

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KKsUh_qmZZ0/TGk2LTocGWI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/Mxmu6zkDRTY/s1600/A+Cover

One. This is a 'back to school' issue and well, I've been back at school for a while actually. Making it quite hard to relate to. Secondly, I won't be hitting the beach in September. Come on guys, work quicker!

I am not going to be too harsh on the staff because I feel that if you use your spare time to contribute to Stardoll - you deserve some praise or create, you know?

New Doll- Keri Russell













Keri Lynn Russell (born March 23, 1976) is an American actress and dancer. After appearing in a number of made-for-television films and series during the mid-1990s, she came to fame for portraying the title role of Felicity Porter on the series Felicity, which ran from 1998 to 2002, and for which she won a Golden Globe Award. Russell has since appeared in several films, including We Were Soldiers, The Upside of Anger, Mad About Mambo, Wonder Woman, Mission: Impossible III, Waitress, August Rush, Bedtime Stories, and Extraordinary Measures.

New Doll- Leanne Rimes



















LeAnn Rimes, (born August 28, 1982) is an American singer-songwriter and actress, best known for her work in country music. She is best known for her rich vocals similar to country music singer Patsy Cline, and her rise to fame at the age of 13, becoming the youngest country music star since Tanya Tucker in 1972.
Rimes made her breakthrough into country music in 1996. Her debut album, Blue, reached Number 1 on the Top Country Albums chart and was certified "multi-platinum" in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album's lead single of the same name (originally intended to be recorded by Patsy Cline in the early 1960s) became a Top 10 hit. With immediate success, Rimes attained widespread national acclaim for her similarities to Cline's vocal style. When Rimes released her sophomore studio effort in 1997, You Light up My Life: Inspirational Songs, Rimes went more towards country pop material, which would set the trend for a string of albums that would be released into the next decade.LeAnn Rimes is the youngest person to win a Grammy. Since her debut, Rimes has won many major industry awards, which include two Grammys, three ACMs, one CMA, twelve Billboard Music Awards, and one American Music award. In addition, Rimes has also released ten studio albums and four compilation albums through her record label of 13 years, Asylum-Curb, and placed over 40 singles on American and international charts since 1996.

She is best known for being a member of the Camden-based hip-hop trio N-Dubz, with her cousin Dino "Dappy" Contostavlos and their friend Richard "Fazer" Rawson.

Cover Magazine's Fall Release!

This is a big, big topic for me and I really want to see the opinions come out today!

OK, so first off... Let me just say that being that this magazine is only half way released, the abundance of contents is overwhelming. Major props!






































In terms of Stardoll, this issue was very inappropriate. What I mean is, you can't expect it to be advertised in Stardoll's Magazine; the spotlight. Advertising... That's another thing. This magazine is very intricate, catchy, and it really does have that 'it' factor - but I had no idea that this issue was releasing today, did you?

Graphic wise, totally improved. Totally.

Cover Magazine is the modern day Eternity!
