Tyler's Top Trends is No More

I am not perceived as the "nice guy". I never set out to be, anyways. But for people to say that I am a cold-hearted fame whore, is another story. I'm not. Most of you will not even be able to read this entire entry, and if you're one of those people: mind your own business and leave me alone.

I'm not one to hit "rock bottom", but I am afraid that time has come. I was born to be a boss, it's in my blood. I have been known to boss people are and harass them to no return, to get the job done. I wouldn't call it harassment, but I would call it dedication. I have done so much on this site and I have provided a lot. Now, here me out. I never said people have liked the things I have done, the projects I have created - but I created them. To say I have not made my mark on Stardoll, would be stating your own situation. If I haven't by now, neither have you.

I want to clear up a few things by saying that I am furious with numerous people on this site. I have had it. I know secrets and I keep them, but revealing them wouldn't mean shit to me, because it doesn't mean shit to them either. For years I have aimed high. I HAD high hopes for myself on this site, but it really doesn't matter to me anymore because it doesn't matter to you. I am a perfectionist and I seek to be perfect. Whenever I released something new into this god-awful world (Stardoll), I was worried about what people were going to think, how they were going to react, if they even would. As time went on I was given a stereotype. That stereotype was, "the cold-hearted, gay ass, elite wannabe, trainwreck bitch'.

It bothered me so much to watch my hard work go to waste. To see people focusing on me, more than my talents. Why do people hate on other people? It's human nature I suppose. Have you ever heard about those murder stories where the killers are able to kill their victims and feel nothing? It's kind of like that. Internet haters are cold-blooded killers. It's sad to see this site collapse from beneath my feet.

The foundation is caving in, the same time I am. The same time everyone is. Stardoll is over. I know the site is still there, but that's not the Stardoll I am talking about. I'm talking about the Stardoll WE created together. With the parties and the drama, the gossip, the elites, the fame, the popularity, the fun, the talent. Stardoll.com will continue to grow and so will we. We're matured.

People just take this blog for granted. I am not sure if they know what they have until it's actually gone. Blogging is not fun anymore because no one wants to give their feedback. Everyone is worried about their image. They are too worried to do something crazy and stand out. But then... Come to think about it, those are the types of people that say that don't care about our world. The ones that say it's just virtual. They care.

It is a virtual site, I will admit to that, but WE created Dollywood. The media likes to bring things up, make it a star - and then tear it right back down. That's what we have started to do. A town that we were once proud of, is dead. We have turned our backs on the single-most important thing in our world which is why it has decided to turn its' back on us. We're letting it, I'm letting it.

I have decided to close this blog down because no matter how hard I work, no matter how hard I try and no matter how big this blog will ever become... I will never be satisfied, because you won't be either. I see everything you all say about me. The ones that talk shit about me, read my blog religiously. That's not how things work around here - I am no longer going to give you something to run your mouth about.

If you are a true fan of my blog, you can thank the haters for ruining Stardoll, OUR STARDOLL and this blog. I wanted to thank everyone who has ever contributed to this blog because you have made it something special. You are some wonderful people.

This is not the last of me. But it is the last of you.

Unconditionally Fierce - Pt. 1






























(Image above: Fierce Magazine's Spring/Summer, 2010 Cover).

If you are familiar with Stardoll-based magazines, then you are aware of the much-celebrated, always anticipated, virtual, online magazine that is Fierce. Over a short period-of-time, the magazine has gained tons of recognition for being both daring and reader friendly.

Fierce Magazine is maintaining by a bubbly girl named Alice Fare (Hunnigall on Stardoll). We got up close and personal with the Editor-in-Chief herself in a recent candid interview (which will be published in two parts) that you can only see here. During the conversation, Alice reveals the chaos behind what goes into the making of each issue, life in the 'spotlight', what the future may hold, and so much more! Plus, also only here, the new promo photo for the comeback issue is exposed!

























TTT: Your magazine has built up a rather large fan base, does knowing that so many people will read the finished product affect the final execution?

Alice (Hunnigall): Sure it does! The most encouraging thing about owning a publication or project of your own is the followers and support you receive. People find happiness and entertainment through reading magazines, and even if they skim the writing and just look at the graphics, I'm happy that I've contributed to someone's day in a positive way :) However, all good things come with a natural balance... I could do without the anonymous critics :D

TTT: Fierce has made a big impact on its' readers and the Stardoll magazine industry alike. How has Fierce impacted you?

Alice (Hunnigall): Fierce has given me more self respect.. I beat myself up about alot of things, and having the readers reassure that, actually, I do have talent is heartwarming. I've also become closer to Emma (my Gummy Bear :D) and all our covergirls and co workers become close friends. Not that I didn't keep up with trends anyway, Fierce does tend to inspire me to look further into fashion and to use my own take on it. I guess, in a way, Fierce taught me to be fierce!

TTT: So Alice, tell us, how do you go about the picking and choosing of what you add in each issue? Such as models and articles?

Alice (Hunnigall): It all happens randomly... At the start of an issue, absolutely NOTHING is organised. Usually there's brainstorming, caffeine and ridiculous amounts of swearing involved in making a fantastic issue of Fierce ;D Models used to be something that I organised competitions or signup sheets for, but now I just take who I like and use them... Often without even telling them! Articles are always decided by the individual writer. I tell all the writers that what they write is entirely up to them, but it must fit in roughly with the theme... And then comes the organisation of the contents - CHAOS!


And there you have it! The first half of a two part interview segment! Be sure to keep a look out for that second half where, like mentioned, the promotional photo for the comeback issue will be made public!

Tyler's Top Models Launches!

In the middle of all of this negative feedback... I have decided to do what I do best according to the media: whore myself out. I can care less about what people think of me. It's your choice and it's your opinion.

Now that that is out of the way, I would like to introduce a new and innovative project that I myself have put together - whether you care or not, it's now open:

Dark + Delicious = Darklicious!





























The first spoiler created for Gbbbe2 and Brit-on-me's new brand line, just was released, it being called Darklicious!

Is this the year of Stardoll fashion lines or what?

My overview of the ad is that they are showing something very new to the industry of Stardoll lines, so I can't wait to see what this line will be up with, maybe even Stardoll Fashion Week? But I am hoping with a sneak-peek like that, that this will NOT be a trashy line. It is so easy to cross the line to slutty couture when designing clothes, so hopefully they know that when they made this holey yet edgy dress.

Also! They are looking for models and media partners, so apply today!

HB Released: Faux Fur Hat & February Hot Buys


After all the critics on the last HBs here's one that doesn't make me fell like criticizing a lot. The only problem is the price, I do think 7sd is a bit too much. The hat itself is a creative accessory, that can go really nice if well matched. The real life version is by Giles and if we compare we'll be disppointed with the graphic quality (just like the others), so let's not.
.
Don't forget to check the real life version on HotBuys Addicted

After January's HBs it was quite impossible to get worst items, so i have to say I'm happy with this month's. The graphic quality isn't the best, but it's not the worst either. The clothes are trendy and seen on Spring 2011 Ready-to-wear. I alredy have my particular favourite and it's the vest inspired by Paul Smith. Let's wait for the prices, and keep checking the blog for my reviews on each HB as they get released.

Red Lips Magazine's First Issue Review

The second issue was just released yesterday for the brand new mag, Red Lips Magazine, by JosephinaA.

Seriously, is 2011 making everyone into a designer or magazine creator now?

But anyway, I checked out the magazine the other day and the cover-girl is Gillian/Juciimami827, the creator and founder of Stardoll's Official NOH8.






















The cons I seem to spot heavily just rest on the graphics, they are very simple, nothing amazing or brilliant, just simple. And the fact that they say they are the first to ever use Stardoll graphics, which is not true in the least, which is a rather annoying thing to announce since ALL magazine use Stardoll for graphics, but I guess they meant to say the whole thing is mainly used only with Stardoll graphics, though you can clearly tell they had other influence else where.
















Even though the graphics are lacking in the way they are, the charisma the photo shoots capture make up for its okay designs. I would really complain about is the size of the magazine one the page! I love how they used that website to create a magazine like that, but its way too tiny to read! Which leaves you no option, if you actually, plan to read it, to enlarge it, which I highly doubt people did, most only care for the photos, just like a real life magazine, so it decreases the want to read the articles.

And one last thing is that.. I noticed.. no where did I see a cover-girl or NOH8 interview with Gillian anywhere! Strange..?

The the pros I have to say is that it looks like she actually took time out to make all of this. Which I adore about magazines. I hate it when I see a new issue and it only has a cover-girl pulse interview, two extra articles, and then that's it.. This one took effort to make, and I love how you can tell the hard work the editor did with the added help. And the articles are not that bad to read either. So you should check out the pages of it, its worth it.






















Another thing is that it seems like Gillian and Chad/MadWorld are out on a date in the issue! Couple/pair photo shoots are always better appealing to me, even if it is focusing more on one person over the other, so I defiantly enjoy that section of the issue the most!

To check out the magazine for yourself, visit it here!

What's your opinions of the new magazine?

Emily's Thoughts: Fiancee du Vampire

I had a little chat with Emily asking her about her thoughts on the new collection Fiancee du Vampire. Here is what she had to say...

They're fabulous, I'm absolutely in love. The other ones were okay, and some of them looked like they need to be worked on a little bit more. The collection needs more details, but besides that, it's really well made, and the outfits perfectly match the vampire theme! I would have chosen another runway, though. This one withdraws my attention from the models, and makes me look at it. The runway could have been all dark and neutral without that many objects on it. But as I said, I really like it, good job!

Her favourite outfit are below!

New Release: Tokyo PopShop














For once I am happy to say that I have almost nothing negative to say about this shop. The Tokyo PopShop is inspired by Tokyo Japan. After a recent visit to Japan over Christmas break, I feel like this shop really embraces the flavor of Japan.

The shops itself has an amazing and sleek layout. It's full of bright colors and funky textures. The items for sale are also vibrant and bold. Some of my favorite things that this shop has to offer is the hanging origami birds, the colorful round lights and the animal inspired dishes. Something that amazes me about this shop is the fact that the prices aren't outrageous. Lately Stardoll has had a bad habit of overpricing. And I am pleased to say that these prices aren't on the verge of outrageous.

Overall, I love this shop and I am hoping that in the future they branch out and expand. What are your opinions on Toyko PopShop?

HB Released: Rio Dress


I remember like it was yesterday when the 1st DKNY collection was released on StarPlaza. Everyone was so impressed that the most expensive dress (The Skyscraper) was 21,or 22sd. One day a new store was released changed everything, a store called LE. After that a lot of people think that 18sd is a really cheap price. Well, I don't, and specially for this dress. I mean, the dress is nice, but does it really worth 18sd? The original version of it is by Alexander McQueen, and that should be a reason for the dress to be better made. I also don't like the change of colors. Anyway, it's a nice item and I bet a lot of you will match it very well. Tell me if you're wearing and you might get featured here.

Bruno's review of Speechless!

I had a fast word with Bruno about what he thinks of the new collection, Speechless, he said...

I'm very dissapointed with sfw. I can't belive they let such a bad collection get in. I know the designers may have worked hard, and blah, blah, blah, but please after a first stardoll fashion week with amazing collection now we have this. Nothing is new and everything is poorly made. It looks like a 6 years old made it, it kind of hurts my eyes.

His favourite outfit was outfit 6. You can see it below:

HB Released: Cotton Bag


Ok, another HB that I'm really not in the mood to make a review. Why? I mean, who (older than 5) would use this bag? Tell me if you could wear it well (if that's possible) and you might get featured here.

Tyler's Top Trends Reaches 700 Followers!

When I logged into my blogger account this morning, I was excited to see what some of my favorite blogs had been publishing - but to my surprise, I was captivated by something else.

Tyler's Top Trends has over 700 followers! For a while now, I thought about what I could do to say thank you to everyone. I love doing the raffles, but there is usually only one winner. Finally, I came to the conclusion that the only way I could "pay" everyone back is to produce amazing articles.

I am now more dedicated to everything I do for and on this blog. I could never let you know how much your support means to me. It energizes me, it is me. I have not been publishing much as of late because I have been focused on my real life, school, and I needed a little break in general - but that is all about to change.

Our new banner will be revealed very soon and once it is made public, so will many, many new things! I have been excited for these announcements for a long time now and I am hoping you will be too. Again, thank you for reading and commenting on the blog and showing your interests in our posts!

Until next time,
Tyler

Monster Magazine Blows On The Scene

The new coming to the publishing scene, the editor-in-chief, AbiiBabeh..x, and the glorious graphic designer, Wooldoor, are bursting out into the Stardoll fashion industry with this fabulous and fierce creation they call Monster Magazine, which obviously is influenced by a love of Lady Gaga. The magazine is also the very first to ever have a real interview with a real celebrity, CC Martini.

The ups about this magazine to me is that the graphics are beautifully done, and the articles are very much so readable and interesting to the eyes. And the anonymous cover-girl brings in mystery and anticipation to the reader's eyes, making them curious and ready to wait for me.

The downs to me would have to be the pages are too small to me, that you need to either focus on them to read or click to enlarge, which is too much effort really and an easy problem to fix. Also the fact that it is Lady Gaga influenced, really, I love Gaga, but really, this would be the twentieth magazine so far, in my opinion, to talk about/feature her, so its nothing new to me at all, which makes the magazine half way uninteresting to me already. And the fact its ANOTHER production that used 'popular' models again, I mean really, its 90+ million members, yet you only see 10 faces constantly, its pretty annoying if you ask me. Though I love this graphic with Mel in it, and I heart Mel, but I get so sick of seeing her me-doll everywhere, its a major downer for me.

Overall, its very well made and put together, so I think its on the right path so far for a good future. Good job.

Your opinions on the magazine?

HB Released: Feather Earrings & Bow Sweater



Hi everyone, I'm finally back posting my reviews about the latest released HotBuys. This month will be tough since Stardoll got a little lazy when they made each HB. Anyway, I really like the earrings, inspired by Topshop, they are one of the few well made january's HBs (maybe the only ones). I even prefer the colors that Stardoll made than the real life color. The sweater isn't my favourite, I think it's not trendy, it's not well made, the color isn't the best to match and the bows aren't well located. I couldn't even find the real life version of it. I do think some stardollians will be creative enough to wear it well but I don't think it will be me.
.
Comment here if you're wearing one of them and you might get featured on the blog.

Tyler's Trendiest Competition Winner!

Firstly, I want to say thank you to everyone that voted in the poll. There was many fabulous entries and I could not of asked for a better turnout.

Lets get right to it, shall we?


The winner of 250 Stardollars is...

LIAJM






















I have to apologize for the size of the image. I deleted the individual print screen and had to improvise. This competition was a little bit unorganized, but I promise - it will not happen again. Lets move that aside though, this girl needs some congratulating!

New Release: 90 Million Members


































First of all, I want to say congratulations to Stardoll for reaching 90 million members. That is quite a milestone. Now onto the window they have released in honor of this achievement.

The first thing I would like to complain about is the fact that there are a couple of things, the most important things in this window are for Superstar only and that really annoys me. I believe that when Stardoll celebrates something like this, the items should be available to all members. Because it is not just Superstars that make up Stardoll and contribute to the growing numbers.

As for the pieces themselves, the dresses are mediocre. Nothing I was too excited to see as far as clothing is concerned. The other trinkets scattered throughout the window are alright as well. I'm not quite sure of their purpose, therefore, I will not be purchasing them. One thing that really caught my eye was the cat clock. I'm sure you've all seen them in real life before. They are normally black. I have actually been searching for this clock everywhere, and seeing Stardoll release it makes me extremely happy. So even if all of the other pieces don't do it for me, this clock has made my day.

What do you think of Stardoll's 90 Million Members window? Do you think they could have done better? What will you be purchasing....if anything?

Launch My Line














Extremely successful blog, Stardoll's Most Wanted, has set afloat an intriguing competition titled, 'Launch My Line' that might help to get many of you aspiring designers on 'the map'. In fact, the winner of the competition is promised instant fame, 600 Stardollars and tons more.

To sum it up quickly, if you are a Star Design extraordinaire and you are looking to show your talents, create a Spring/Summer Collection with a minimum of 4 pieces. We understand that just 4 pieces is not necessarily a complete collection, but if you win - it will be.

Behind-the-scenes, 10 designers will picked to have their lines showcased during a fashion show that is set to take place on Sunday, February 13, 2010. From there, the audience (or readers) will choose the winner.

This is the next big thing, trust us.

We will keep you updated throughout the process and we urge you to enter this competition for your own good. Not to mention, good luck to everyone that enters from Tyler's Top Trends!

Distinct Magazine Promoting Cancer?





















A simple favor from the staff of Tyler's Top Trends. Define Distinct. When the word distinct is brought to mind you think different in nature or quality. Something not like that of its' kind. In terms of magazines, Distinct Magazine definitely holds true to its' name. But not for reasons you would think.

The promotional photo of a Medoll with a cigarette laced through her fingers, released by Distinct Magazine provides a more distinct image than they may have bargained for. Distinct in what way you ask? Imagine an elderly man in a wheelchair, talking through a hole in his throat. A hole that wouldn't be there if it weren't for a lifetime of smoking cigarettes. Most importantly, imagine a cancer patient dying in a hospital somewhere due to an addiction to nicotine found in cigarrettes.

Do we have a right to accuse Distinct Magazine and its' founders of promoting cancer? Of course we do. Do we believe this promotion was intentional? No. Lastly, do we believe that this unintentional promotion of the number one leading cause of cancer can be righted? We certainly do. And though we would never want to interfere with a creation not that of our own, I'm sure Distinct Magazine would not want to interfere with the health of its' future readers.

Admire Couture Underwhelms





















When we announced earlier this month that a certain house of 'designer' clothing was going to be made public on this day, we did not quite assume that so much could go wrong.

Admire Couture is that brand. To start things off, we noticed that many people absentmindedly forgot to come to the release party. And, without hesitation, the collection was revealed instantly when I arrived to the guestbook of MissDancer853. Mind you, I was the representative for Tyler's Top Trends and I checked into the party the moment it began.

Like any other attendee, I gathered up the little excitement I had leftover and went to view the collection for myself. I immediately stopped in my tracks when the page loaded. Carelessly, I asked myself, "Who are these young girls designing for?". I know it was not their mothers.

Feeling letdown when the clothing was exposed early, it was hard for me to view the crowd of clothing with an open mind. That is just how the world of fashion works. This was not Admire Couture's debut collection, which is why I am being so critical towards them.





















The graphics have improved tremendously and everyone should acknowledge that. What we should not praise is the exposing dresses that are featured throughout the show. Many of the pieces look like a Kim Kardashian clubbing getup (sorry Kim!), rather than a must-have couture garment. Plus, what was futuristic about the attire?

The accessories line was nothing special, but there was zilch to complain about, however. We might as well give them the benefit of the doubt.

We could not help, but to wonder what other people might think about this collection, so Dei asked a couple of random Stardoll citizens the following question:

  • Hello, I'm reporting for Tyler's Top Trends about the new Admire Couture collection, and I would like to ask, what's your opinion of the brand?

To which they answered:

  • Blahm3 - I really like the clutches the most, they look more professional than the actual clothing.
  • Ciaraleanne - D:
  • AbiiBabeh..x - I think the collection was OK as a whole but some individual pieces excelled. My favourite outfit was the Grey dress with studded neckline and cuffs. I liked it as it was simple, yet daring. I also particularly liked the collection of purses and the variety of colour in them. But, well I thought the purple one was TOO tight.

Clikc here to view the rest of the collection yourself!

Tyler's Trendiest Competition Finalists!

I am very sorry that I have not been publishing many posts lately, but many of my personal friends know that I have been dedicating too much of my time towards schooling. They say it pays off... On a higher note - we have some exciting posts coming up in the near future!

We got a subtle amount of entries and many different looks. Some of them were actually sharp and dangerous, some handsome and abrupt. But whatever the case (or look), we choose 3 finalists to compete against each other, leaving you to decide the winner.

Lets review the prize: 250 Stardollars!

And the finalists are...

New Release: Antidote













Yesterday, the new Antidote was released and like many times before, I was not upset that I was financially unable to pay for the new Antidote. Always having been a person who wasn't a fan of Antidote, I am able to give credit where it is due. However, this new collection doesn't appear to be deserving. Nevertheless, there are a few pieces that interested me. The first being the Tibet Tee. Like the many over sized shirts before it, the Tibet Tee can be worn many ways. Which is why I love it so much. Some other things that caught my eye were the Directional Stripe Dress, the solid black, one shoulder dress on the third floor and the purple, one shoulder dress, also on the third floor.

Overall, I would give this store a two out of five. Simply for the fact that it seems Antidote is showing us the same pieces, the same shapes and the same style, dressed up differently. For the next season, I would like to see Antidote break away from that and give us something new and exciting.

Valentine's Day is lurking in the air?

As I was visiting Marcela today I noticed that she was wearing a design which caught my eye I clicked on the striking garment and out came the tag which read designed by .Marcela.. is this going to be part of M by Marcela? As Valentine’s Day is coming up and this pattern is strongly correlated to Valentine’s Day it all adds up plus this pattern is made so meticulously I’d be surprised if she didn't take advantage! I sure do hope she’s going to be selling it as
I definitely want a scarf in that pattern!

January Hot Buys: Review



Hi everyone, sorry for the delay but I'm finally posting my review about this month's Hot Buys. When I first looked at the whole colletion my reaction wasn't the best, but analyzing one by one and I could note that we do have a few nice pieces. The whole collection looks fast-made, and since the HBs were released too late I think they really were fast-made. I've been in love with Sarah Burton's job for Alexander McQueen and I was really happy when I saw all these McQueens. I'm not really happy with the change of the dress' colors, but I deffinitly adore the shoes and pants. I do like the bow dress very much, it's simple and chic. I'm not a huge fan of the bag, the hat, the tank top and the skirt, I think they're daring and could work but they're just not my style. The earrings are the most well made pieces in my opinion. And at last but not least the stud jacket, a very nice item, and wearable. I just think these would be amazing HBs if they were better made, the real life ones are just amazing. I hope they are not as expensive as the december's ones. As the HotBuys get released I'll give you the chance to show us how creative can be to weare a Hot Buy, so wait for my next posts.

Will your Dolly Wear..Dolly Wear?

Dolly Wear is an accessory line presented by Ashantiboo, she claims that it's the next major fashion line, I'm all for confidence (most likely because I lack a noticeable amount of it) however there's a fine line after which lies the land cockiness now I don't want to make a huge commotion out of it but shouldn't the line release before it can be called the next major fashion line? By the looks of things Ashantiboo is convinced her line's remarkable so I'm pretty excited to see if she lives up to what she says!
























The spoiler looks promising, her logo's unique as well but I thought this was an accessory line? Where are the accessories? The spoiler looks like she's got a make-up range not an accessories line nevertheless the spoiler deserves an A for effort. The teal won me over as it's one of my favourite colours however next time I make a spoiler of a line I'd actually feature my product in it instead.

UPDATE: Ashantiboo sent me the official spoiler and the line is in fact a clothing line as well that's the last time I'll rely on something I read on EliteFashion...

The Classique Awards Best Dressed List

Now, it took me some time to figure out what I was going to do with this list, because believe it or not... This is the first time Tyler's Top Trends has properly covered fashion at a big event. However, this seems to be a favorite among many, so we might just do this a little more often.

I did think about creating both a best and worst dressed list, but since I noticed the hard work put into each outfit - I figured, hey, lets give them all a break. After all, I do get harsh sometimes. Here's the deal... I picked some outfits that I found to be interesting and had both Dei and I comment on them. Now, whether we state that the outfit was good or not in our comments, is simply that. It does not mean you're on any list. Everyone is on the "Best Dressed" list today. I hope that makes sense.

Dei: I won't lie, I helped dress half of this outfit.. But anywho! This outfit strongly reminds me of the new age type of 1940's pin up girl! With the sleeve tattoos and corset and slim fitted top. I love it! Though I am not a fan of sleeve tattoos for a formal, but she rocked it.

Tyler: I agree with you, Dei! I however, have to say that I think black-and-white tattoos can be very glamorous, depending on the position and placement. This outfit had the right amount of everything.



























(Above - Alice2078)

Dei: I love the dress, polka dots are so cute and retro!And the gloves and pearls are lovely. The giant random pearl is very odd to me.. But the biggest thing for me are that the shoes kill me! They make me not like this outfit.

Tyler: Oh, dear. I am not sure how to explain this outfit to myself, let alone you all. The pearl is a little distracting, you're right, Dei. I just feel like this whole outfit is too chunky - if that makes sense. There is too much going on. It could of been easily very classic.



























(Above - Blahm3)

Dei: The outfit itself, love. Reminds me strongly of the 80's and Lady Gaga. But.. she always dresses like this.. So I don't enjoy this one that much at all. Besides that, she has no pants on!

Tyler: You took the words right out of my mouth, Dei. I mean, how should I say this... I love the outfit, I really do - but there was a dress code people! Nice shoes, though!



























(Above - Juciimami827)

Dei: I also helped Gillian on this outfit partly too.. But anyway.. I do love the combination layers, without the hat, I would guess this is a 80's or 90's couture outfit, but with, I am confused on the outfit's time period.

Tyler: Gillian was one of the big winners tonight, going home with the "Ground-Breaking Project" Award and she was certainly dressed like a winner. I like how her dress has some shiny texture to it, it reminds me of sequins which can be very glamorous. If it was me, I would of lost the hat.



























(Above - clubklo)

Dei: At first glance, I love the outfit! But then analyzing it, I notice that its too much to me. The lace leggings with knee socks deff turn me off from this. And the shoes are too loud for the outfit in my eyes. And really, shorts to a formal?

Tyler: Yeah, shorts? The shoes are off, even the glasses. This could of been a great look! There is not much to say about this look.



























(Above - Conii987)

Dei: - Cute, simple, and sweet, but way too plain! And the lipstick is.. just odd. I've never been the fan of that color on her or on anyone, so..

Tyler: It is too simple, it's true. But when I thought about it, there is not much you could add without over-doing it. Skinny belts are really trendy right now. I would of chosen a nude lipstick.



























(Above - Findurlove)

Dei: Hands down, one of the best outfits of the night. Though she isn't THAT formal, she is just THAT fabulous!

Tyler: I am going to have to say that this was my favorite look of the night. It is not as formal as it could have been, but it has that vintage feel to it. I love the way this look was accessorized, perfectly. Maggie was also a winner, she won, "Biggest Sweet-heart"!



























(Above - gabby1822)

Dei: I will admit, I am not a big fan of her make-up. But I am in LOVE with her outfit! Its very simple, but very elegant. Perfectly infusing 1920's glamor in a look to me.

Tyler: Her outfit is very elegant, yes. I am not a fan of the clutch or the necklaces. I do not like the makeup, either. Other than that, this outfit was nice.



























(Above - larsa_gurl)

Dei: Its not the worst of the night but it is one of them to me. I am sorry, she is a very sweet girl from what I see, but the outfit just plain 'no' for me. The ankle boots and fur trimmed jacket don't match at all. The skirt is too bright to be as short as it is. And really, the fedora only makes it worst.

Tyler: Uh, no comment...



























(Above - MissDancer853)

Dei: The black dress alone is very gorgeous, but with the added DKNY ruffle skirt, it turns into a frumpy assemble. I am also NOT a fan of the shoes at all. New in Alaskan high fashion much?

Tyler: I love this dress. And I love the shoes, too. They just do not go well together.



























(Above - Pirata111)

Dei: I have a love/hate with this outfit. Its too much in my opinion, the headpiece doesn't flow well with the vintage dress and platform spiked shoes.. And the dress isn't very flattering for her since at first glance, I thought she had a baby bump. But, I don't really know her too well to judge her, but... is it me or doesn't her me-doll look just like Egle's(vampire_)?

Tyler: Again, to be honest, I like this outfit. It is not traditional glamour and I like that. It might not fit the theme as well as it could - but it's modern and unique.



























(Above - Syligirl)

Dei: If anything, I don't know if she was aiming for it or not, but this makes me think 70's glamor instantly! The platforms with the loose yet stylish dress is a winner for me.

Tyler: Perfection.



























(Above - Nojarama)

Dei: What can I say, I love black, and I love daring outfits, so I love this one. The pants and boots make me think 80's/90's punk. The shirt and chandelier make me think classic vampire. But he does make purple hair look rather lovely.

Tyler: Chace, did you get the memo? Ha-ha, just kidding - buddy!



























(Above - Zoe_COUTURE)

Dei: Flawless layering. Very chic and vintage looking dress. Not a big fan of that bag though.

Tyler: It is amazing how much we agree on fashion and style, Dei. I am going to have to say that the bag throws it off. A clutch would of made this outfit classier.



























(Above - N1mka4eva)

Dei: The girl can wear anything and people love it, its just who she is. Really, I love how she got creative with the acorns! Thats what wins me with this outfit, but other than that, she was not dressed for occasion at all, she just came as she was.

Tyler: Before the ceremony began, Charlotte asked me if acorns were glamorous, I replied, "they can be". This girl has been through so much in such a short period of time and I find her to be one fascinating human being. She is free to wear whatever she wants.


Lastly,

We got the notification that Noelle wanted to be on the list once we had already written out the comments, so with that being said, Noelle you looked amazing. It was your night. Noelle was wearing a design by Allison_Arg!

And that concludes the looks from The Classique Awards Winter, 2011 ceremony!

How Big is Your Ego?

We were sent this astonishing promo photo for a new magazine that is "in-the-works". The magazine is co-owned by two very lovely ladies - Marcela (.Marcela..), who also works here at Tyler's Top Trends, and Nicole (Tcholas93). Take a look at the spoiler below:






























Obviously the magazine will be called, "EGO" and listen to us when we say that this teaser is complete perfection. We have been told that the Covergirl is in the photo, but will continue to remain anonymous until the big unveil which is still unknown. This is just what Stardoll needs. It may be a little soon, but we see big things in store for this magazine.

Thoughts?

The Classique Awards, for those of you who are wondering, are a mixture of glamour and importance! Being that this is the 1st Annual ceremony - everything must go extremely right.

In the post, she rants about everything Stardoll related and what she really thinks of the site and the people on it. We feel for you, Charlotte.

Heart Ache



It has never been a surprise that legendary, virtual magazine owner, Style_Magazine loves to leave curious messages in her guestbook for all to see. A new message has recently been published by her there:








At first we thought nothing of it, but when we did a little research we came across something curiously interesting. Britney Spears will be premiering her new single next Tuesday titled, "Hold It Against Me", however, a demo of the song was sadly leaked. In the track you can hear the lyrics, "If I feel my heart was beating loud".

Could Style be a secret admirer of Britney herself or is this all just a misunderstanding? Would you mind filling us in, Style?


Update:

Style has come forward saying:








Who knew?
