Let It Snow!

Today's Top Trends has been inactive since the Summer but it's back... for the winter holidays at least! I've given the look a golden look to match the festivities of this month. I'm planning on doing a holiday gifts for her and him for Stardoll and real life, as well as taking a look back at Stardoll's history. Not only from this year, but throughout the years... magazines then and now, and even Stardoll itself.

So stay tuned throughout the festive period, as there is sure to be some exciting stuff from the blog! Who knows, there will maybe even be a special Christmas lottery.

P.S: Comment, comment, comment! Top commenters are back and prizes are up for grabs.
Let it snow! xo

I won't be writing her much but I am hiring writers to keep the blog alive!

Thank you. :-)

HARRODS: Ultimate Fashion

Real brands have officially returned to Stardoll as a whole new version of the starplaza has finally opened; Harrods.
As many of you know Harrods is a highly luxurious and desirable department store. Many of us have missed real life brand stores such as DKNY and Vivienne Tam so lots of us are excited to have this priviledge back.

Old players of Stardoll may remember a scene like this from the old Starplaza, when it was set out as a building. There is 8 store spaces by the looks of things and 3 have been filled already with: Chloé, Junior Gaultier and Rykiel Enfant. Stores to come include Cavalli, Galliano and Versace, though there may be more.

I'm very excited for this partnership and think it's one of the best things Stardoll has done in a while.
What do you think? Comment below.

LIVE FAST DIE YOUNG

Hey Dolls!

I created 2 looks Inspired by Arabian Culture, Mainly taken from M.I.A's single 'Bad Girls'.

The outfit on the left Is more Modern and Stylized, while the outfit on the right is more traditional. What do you guys think? Personally, I really enjoyed doing these looks, I actually love Middle Eastern Fashion/Culture... Not forgetting the Language!

FASHION TWO-TIMER

Hey dolls!
Kim did an awesome job with the new look right?I think so too!

Anyway, today I am showing you 2 ways of styling the beautiful Danish Blouse from Windows of the world. It costs 11 SD and is very versatile!

On the left 

I added some leather leggings from RIO, Special Offer White and Gold Heels,

Hotbuys Shell Purse from RIO and a Special Offer Spiked Headband.

On the Right 

I added the Mint Miniskirt from DVF, M.I.A Inspired Tights, Rose Boots from Fallen Angel and a Leather Spike Bracelet from Evil Panda.

So, what do you think?

S/S JEANS

Jeans are a fashion item you must have all year round. Everyone loves to dress glamourously but sometimes dressing down with jeans is the perfect option. Here I have selected 8 pairs of jeans with 2 for each season. This is part of an all new segment which will have posts for numerous different items.

Spring is a season in which the festivities of Winter are over but the joys of Summer haven't yet begun. The mean idea is to keep things very neutral and light, with pastels and florals usually being Spring's main trends.

LEFT;
This outfit is very simple and girly, mostly all in one colour apart from the pants which give the outfit it's pop of colour.

RIGHT;
This outfit is also quite simple, with a nice dull coloured pair of skinnies paired with a fun red top. Browns and beiges are used to accessorise the outfit.

SUMMEROUTFITS

LEFT;
Just because it's Summer doesn't mean you have to go completely neon like Stardoll seems to think. I've used cute peaches and baby pinks and  these embellished shorts go great! Rather than letting the legs go on show I've stuck to the vibe of the outfit and put on thigh high socks.

RIGHT; In this outfit, like the spring one, I've stuck to one colour overall (the blue denims) and then made it pop by using the multicolour platform shoes.

YOUR FASHION HAVEN IS BACK

After several months on hiatus I've decided to bring forward the returnal of the blog. Throughout the months of 2012 this blog has been diminishing ever so slowly. I did fail as an owner, failing to hire new writers and feeling bad about deleting people off the blog however I have come to my senses and finally hired new writers, thought of new ideas, competition ideas (Yes, the winners from the Summer Competition will still recieve their prizes once they are announced) and a a general new look.
TTT has been a blog of many looks, but has always failed to have that 'fashion look'. I can never stay happy with a blog look, but this timeless, black and white look should keep me happy for a while at least. I've also added a tab to the blog to make navigation easier, which allows you to search through all the labels of previous posts. Writers banners will be up soon revealing the final list of new writers and posts will begin to be published.

I want to get this blog back to it's original state, a fresh fashion blog with updates from real life and from the Stardoll social scene. The new writers are unkown, not just well known users who I've scouted up to write for this blog, but users who show real potentional, known or not.

Let's take a stroll through memory line, let's put a twist on this blogs future.
It will be great, Today's Top Trends, and today's trend is TTTs returnal.

THE STARPLAZA

The Starplaza has been in need of desperate refurbishment for many months now. Stores gathering up numerous floors with different mismatching collections plastered on each. With Stardoll's failure to update older schools and not bring out any new exciting ones, I've taken it into on own hands to make a, somewhat fake, Starplaza makeover.

STORES THAT JUST 'NEED' TO GO;

Both Eco Design and Sea of Stars have had their fair share of time in the Starplaza and are only destined for removal. The whole Sea of the Stars phase is over and Eco Design should definitely have only been a limited period store. Windows of the World, although a store that doesn't need to go, does need to be thoroughly cleaned out as it has gathered up around 18 floors. I strongly dislike Original Future, the designs are boring and effortless, and definitely not the 'Original Future' I'd be thinking of. I definitely prefered Folk, what's up Stardoll?

FASHION EXAM #2

Back for the 2nd day and the 2 Fashionistas I chose to feast upon are;

Eamonn (FashionnGirl.)  &  Ciara (CiaraLeanne)

Well, I love both of your outfits! I cant help but think Eamonn's outfit is too much of the same colour, and because its a close shade to his skin tone, his outfit blends into his skin which makes him look like a Chameleon (Because it camouflages into things) And Ciara's outfit is very classy with a modern hip touch which I love because she doesn't look about 60 like Style Magazine does.

Here are the fashion grades.

Eamonn                           

                                        

Outfit = B                         

Shoes = D                        

Makeup = C+                   

Hair = C+                         

                                        

Overall Grade = C or 70%

                                         

Ciara                               

                                        

Outfit = B+                       

Shoes = C                        

Makeup = A-                     

Hair = A                            

                                         

Overall Grade = A- or 85%

                                         

Congrats Dolls you both passed! 

Eamonn you passed with a C / 70% - The outfit was just too safe for your skin tone. Ciara you did better with a whopping A- / 85%  - You would of got a straight A if you would of chose a different pair of shoes.

Stay tuned for Fashion Exam #3!

Young Hollywood Shoes

I noticed some people are confused as to where these Young Hollywood shoes came from.

If you guys remember getting a message from Stardoll on Friday, August 10th, the message said if you spent 50 stardollars between then and Sunday, then 2 full outfits would be delivered to your suite on Monday, August 13th. Here's the message in case some of you never received it:

Young Hollywood Sequin shoes are seen on the doll on the right

Hype Magazine's Return

Hey everyone!

Hype is soon to release its second issue.
The first issue, though lacking in high quality graphics, was well-written, organized well, and had an over-abundance of fashion trends.  She brought back the old Stardoll magazines by focusing on the text rather than the graphics. so many magazines rely on the images more than the actual words, so it was refreshing.

The promising spoiler give hints to an Aztec pattern feature, which is a popular fashion trend right now. The colors seem mute and calm, which can be difficult when working with a fashion magazine.

What are you opinions on the spoiler and upcoming issue?
Comment below on your feelings towards the past issue!

Kharma By Eamonn Collins

Hey everyone! Look at this fabulous makeover, I love it! Welcome back to TTT!

Eamonn posted the Fall collection of Kharma Fashion. Although it isn't in the typical version of Stardoll graphics, it's very nice and has a high fashion appeal to it. Congrats to him for this beautiful collection!

I LOVE that blue top. What do you think of this small, yet very sophisticated collection? Give me your comments. I feed off your words.

Inspirational Clothes

Jillian Rebekah here! Although I am a Hot Buys Reporter, I thought it would be delightful to add some tributes into my post today. Over the years, Stardoll has brought real life inspired styles into the Starplaza. From the recent "Chanel Tribute" to some of the newest hot buys, Stardoll has given each item a fresh and exciting twist. And what exactly are the inspirations behind all these unique pieces? Below are just a few of the fashion pieces with the Real Life replicas.

Could They Be The Same Person?

Now, normally I'm not one to make accusations without enough facts, but this time, I feel almost positive that two different users are in fact, the same person... now who could those people be? Lets get the facts strait.

On the left, we have owner of Obscure/Elle/Limitless/Who-the-Hell-Knows-What-Else magazines. She goes by the name of Alex Holmes, aka, Conectt3.

On the right, we have the owner of Fashion/Elle/Fame/Chanel/Cannot-Make-Up-Her-Mind magazines. She goes by the name of Julie Carol, aka, Doggy_Starpuppy.


Not only do both girls have similar styles, but almost identical profiles, not to mention similar graphic styles, and both seem like they can't make up their mind on what to call their multiple magazines. Lets not forget they've both appeared into the dollywood scene mysteriously, and almost at the same time... and when I say same time, its creepy.

While it may appear this is the same print screen, its not (first clue is they have different file names, and if you visit both users, you'll see the same results). Both joined on the same day in 2009, and both girls were seen online last three hours ago (from the printscreens). That's not all though.

These are both directly found off both presentations. While the facts are different, the presentation style is merely the same. They state their names, simple facts, and then share a list of their never-ending project lists.

I'm sorry, but this is just a dead giveaway. Conectt3's facts are the ones on top, and Doggy_Starpuppy's facts are the ones on the bottom. They are very similar, with various different answers. Don't you find it strange that they say they both look like Kiera Knightly, have the same interests in celebritites, music, dream jobs, and tv shows? Strange, right?

I might be less convinced they were the same person if they didn't put that they were each other's BFF, but seriously, this is strange. Also, both girls aren't afraid of advertising their multiple magazines by creating multiple clubs.

This is just the base of their stardoll users. Not only are they similar through dolls, also the fact that they have waaaaayyyy too many magazines, and their graphic styles are almost identical. Lets take a look, shall we?

First of all, these are just one of each girl's magazines. If I'm correct, they both own three magazines each or so. If in fact Conectt3 and Doggy_Starpuppy are the same person, then she has 6 magazines to write, create and publish each month! Does that say crazy, or what? Y'know, I'm starting to think this girl (or girls), have the tendency to not being able to make up their mind.

Also, what's strange is that they both urged the courage to make a magazine called Elle? Its not a very original name, so I'll give props to not wanting to take hours to come up with a name, but seriously? Not only do they have similar taste in names, but the graphic style in general is very close. The hair style could only be created by one person, since everyone has a different style graphic-wise. Even using the same technique, the outcome is very different. But these two girls? They have a style that could only be created by on person, and by one person only. Not only similar style in graphics, but they have a tendency to make the body and face different shades of color.

Both Conectt3 and Doggy_Starpuppy have that strange name as their blogger profile, and even admit they live in the same place. And I wasn't kidding about their endless list of projects, as you can see.

And its not just me who thinks they are the same person. New to the dollywood scene is an anonymous who goes by the name GD-reviews accuses "one" of the two girls of thinking they are both the same person. Conectt3 quickly denies it, but do I believe it? No, absolutely not.

Could they both in fact be the same person? I'm starting to wonder if these/this girl(s) want to be exposed like this to get some attention. Could they in fact be two people, perhaps friends or sisters? We'll just have to wait and see what happens next.
