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.
(Above - AislinVictory)
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 Live Coverage!
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.

Charlotte Comes Clean
Well known Stardoll style icon, N1mka4eva (otherwise known as Charlotte and my dear friend) has published an intriguring and heartbreaking article on illustrious blog, Perez Hilton Of Stardoll (Stardoll's Most Hated Website).
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:

Anorexia Can Kill You
Anorexia is a disease many girls are ready to complain of in order to be skinny and successful. But against the fact that everyone knows it can kill, still year after year we hear that blooming girls and women stop eating to get that 'take to' figure. In a great number of cases their life becomes heavy-handed or ends, like the life of Isabella Caro.
Isabella, who dreamt of becoming a model, started starving when she was just 13 years old. A designer, whose name is not acknowledged, had told the girl she had to lose 22 pounds if she wanted to be famous. She didn’t get the success she sacrificed her life for. At the age of 28 Isabella died having spent two weeks in a hospital with acute respiratory illness.
Isabella Caro drew attention to the issue of anorexia in 2007 by posing nude for a billboard with words, “No Anorexia” on it. At that instant she measured 5′4″ and about 70 pounds.
She explained her decision:
Anorexia is awful. Neither fame nor money is worth reducing your life. Girls, if you want to be slim start doing sports, but don’t torment yourself and your being by eating absolutely nothing.

A Hairy Situation
(Image above; Ellie in the April, 2008 Issue of Style Magazine).
Stardoll style icon, Ellie Watson (fakeshake3) has finally changed up her look! The socialite who earned her title as a legendary dresser is (or was) famous for her golden do, but we recently spotted her with a much more dramatic, darker look. Is Ellie showing us a different side?
(Image above; Ellie in her suite, present day).
We here certainly think it is a change for the better. Change is good, right? How about we let you decide...
Did the risk pay off?
