WCW (#2) - Limited Edition

Hi all! It’s been a while since I posted a blog entry (Of course you guys have been informed on what had been happening) but I am so glad that TTT is back and I am reunited with you lovely people.

In this post I will be showing you how I style some of the items from the recently released Limited Edition Collection. I’m pretty sure one of the girls will post an in depth review soon, so I thought I would just give you some of my opinions on the collection.

Firstly, out of ten, I give the collection a six. The only reason it is a step above average for me is that there are some great standout pieces, with the men’s Snake Print Dallas Shirt being one of them (as well as being my favourite item). For the most part, however, the collection is mediocre at best. A massive disappointment for me was that the collection wasn’t grunge inspired like Stardoll had claimed. To me it had more of a cowgirl feel, with the repetition of words such as ‘Dallas’ and ‘Sherriff’ adding to this.

Despite the collection being nothing special, I do appreciate that many of the items can built upon and made to look chic or grungy. I am also thankful that it isn’t too gaudy or in your face, meaning you can style a lot of the items in many ways.

These are my thoughts on the collection, now onto the outfits.

Below are three ways I have styled some of the items that I purchased (side note; the interior is amazing!). Hopefully you like them.

What are your thoughts on the collection, how did you style certain pieces (post your outfit for a chance to win 200sd) and what is your favourite item? Let me know down below!

WCW (#1) - Fashion Week Street Style

Fashion Week has been a huge favourite of mine since I stumbled across the magnificent sight that was Chloé’s 2011 RTW collection. Ever since then, I have loved keeping up to date with certain brands and seeing how they have interpreted the upcoming seasons’ trends. One thing I have grown to adore through FW is the street style that people capture through their lenses. Being able to see various kinds of people express their senses of style on a day/days where pretty much anything goes is both exciting and inspiring.

So with Fashion Week on the verge of ending, (it has reached its final destination - Paris) I decided to dedicate the past week on Stardoll to wearing Street style-esque outfits that I felt would represent me in the four major FW cities:

NEW YORK

For me, New York has such a ‘working woman’ feel. I’ve probably watched too many episodes of Sex and the City (haha), but when I think about NY I imagine many Carrie Bradshaws running around in their fabulous heels, wearing coats fitted to perfection, with cappuccinos in one hand and mobile phones in the other as they make their way to work. This is just a silly fantasy of course, but it is the inspiration behind my NYFW outfit.

LONDON

Living in London has really made me appreciate accessories. Rings, hats, bags, necklaces; you name it, London girls work it. For this reason, I was mainly inspired by the role of jewellery in elevating outfits, as I feel like it can make a simple outfit that much cooler and interesting. There was something about the seam on the PPQ skirt that also made me gravitate towards it- I really liked how it looked like gold accents as opposed to stitching.

MILAN

Two things made me want to create this outfit; the first Milan street style photo I ever saw, and Moschino’s Fall 2014 RTW collection. I wish I knew how to find the photo I’m talking about, but unfortunately I viewed it years ago. Nevertheless, when I tell you it was something else I’m not kidding. There was such an overload of bright colours and yet a fantastically cool feel about it that has stuck in my head. As for Moschino’s collection, it was the sheer audacity of it; cartoony ‘in your face’ designs incorporated with the urban flair that is associated with Jeremy Scott. My favourite Milan show this season.

PARIS

If the fashion weeks were four different people, Paris would definitely the most feminine. The romantic nature of the city makes me think of soft yet clean lines and effortless simplicity. I thought the floral design on the dress (used as a top) added a little more intricacy to the outfit, and that the sheer material added a risqué element to it without being distasteful.

So those are my FW street style inspired outfits guys! Which one do you like best, and why?

Also let me know which of the Fashion Weeks is your favourite and what you would wear

(Definitely include a photo if you've got time!)

And before I conclude this post (because it is getting way too long), I'd just like to

say thank you for all the positive words on the last post. You have no idea

how happy your feedback made me.

Loving (#1): Gingham

Hey everyone! My name is Cilla (baby_lush11), and I’m a new writer for TTT. I am not one of the four writers that have already been revealed as I applied after the announcement, but hopefully you will become acquainted with me fairly quickly. As an aspiring fashion editor, the opportunity to contribute to this blog was one I couldn’t let pass by, and I’m extremely excited to share my take on style, (possibly) beauty, and all things fashion with you guys.

As far as what I will be posting, sky really is the limit. I want the thoughts I share with you to be as organic –and not forced- as possible, so my posts will be a reflection of the things I’m into. One segment I will definitely be posting is called ‘Loving’, where I talk about a trend that I currently love –ranging from patterns and cuts to accessories and colours - and incorporate it into my doll’s style. Hopefully you all enjoy!

Gingham is one of the major patterns of the upcoming season, replacing the love of plaid during the A/W of 2013. The pattern is perfect for Spring because it not only incorporates the classic shades of black and white, but also has a softer presence in comparison to the heavy appearance of plaid. Here are a few ways I would style Gingham:

What are your thoughts on Gingham, and how would you style the pattern? Also, how do you feel about this segment? Let me know what you think below.
