Spring Styling

Hello and welcome!

I know it's been forever since I last posted but I'm back now, I had to sort out a few things in real life and needed a little break from Stardoll. Today however, I decided I needed to start posting again, you know how much I love showcasing my daily looks! and writing about fashion is definitely a good escape from reality. 

In Recent months, I've been experimenting a lot with my dolls style, 5 months ago you wouldn't have seen my doll wearing any bright colour in a million years! I always stuck with the usual monochrome colour scheme; the greys, the whites and the countless shades of black. The past 3 months, after buying issue after issue of i-D and VOGUE, it has made me realise there is more to fashion! I've always said to be a minimalist fashion enthusiast at heart but I took it upon myself to challenge that idea and broaden my horizons a bit. I have been introduced to a range of different prints and patterns, and it's been great fun, mixing and matching. With the latest "it girls" collection it gave me the opportunity to play around with some of these spring-summer like pieces. I especially drooled over the 'Palermo Long Vest' it's a must have in my opinion! Olivia is a huge source of inspiration for me and so when I saw it in the spoilers, I knew I had to style it. 

I try to keep my dolls daily looks in sync with the four seasons. As spring is among us and with summer not being too far away, the approach with this look was to go for a warm, bright and comfortable look yet keeping to my minimalistic style. It's amazing what colour can do, it's truly enhancing! I've always wanted to style the yellow YSL stilettos and the yellow LE belt, these two pieces combined with the grey vest have made the look stand out even more. Stripes can also add in a bit of texture to a look, I decided to use the SAP stripped top and it has worked wonders! The pink archive sweater that I used, behind the vest has created somewhat of an illusion that it's a jacket instead which I love! The grey pants also carry out the colour scheme from the vest and with the added Fendi bag it ties in the entire look together. 

I also changed my dolls lip colour, brows and hair to match with my current look. I feel having platinum blonde hair is still a trend at large, all thanks to the Kardashians and of course, Lady Gaga!  I think it's great to change up your dolls hair colour every now and then. The brows I decided to tone down a bit, I love it when they're fierce and bold but I felt they needed a mild shade of brown. Moving on to the lips, I never really like my doll having pink lips or I just don't find the right shade of pink but with the recent DOT make up collection, Stardoll have created some amazing colours! I must admit, applying a lighter lipstick enhances my lips a lot more, considering my doll is of a darker skin tone. I find real joy in using my doll as a canvas when applying make up! It would be so cool if Stardoll created a MAC cosmetics line, right?

Epiphany / / Head to toe beauty and style

Stardoll brought us a new Epiphany jewellery collection last week, themed on Inspired By pieces with a great selection for us to choose from. There's a lot of stand-out pieces in there, and I get a very retro vibe from several things and think there will be some great stylings from dolls to come! I only purchased a few of the pieces, and my post for this week is going to focus on one - the Floral Mami Inspired Necklace =)

I loved the blue and sea-toned colours in the necklace so used those in my makeup choices of the greys and blues - I really think it works quite nicely! For style I think whites and greys suit both the necklace and makeup very well and so those are colours I really focused on. I like the quirkiness of the perspex coat in the look on my doll, the texture really plays against that of the trousers and the tied sweater. But I also like the golden accessories in my second suggestion on the left and they would tie a look nicely with the necklace too. This really is a piece with a lot of options and I think there's plenty of room to play around with them!

Let me know what you think of this post in the comments below! And is there anything you guys want to see me post about? Comment that too^ x

Beginning at the start

Long time no see, right? I'm still hanging around here at TTT and hoping to get out a weekly post, independent of my other blogging work^ While wondering what to put in my first post for this rejuvenation I thought for a bit then looked back through what I had posted here before - it was a lot more than I had thought, and I started out in Feb 2014, I can't believe it was over 2 years ago! And so I came to the conclusion to begin at the start, where I started here by styling these Metallic Harem Trousers.

Compared to the last stylings of these trousers, this is the much preferred content! I still like gold accents with the colour of the velvet, it's just something I will always pair together, and I've stuck with neutrals in my other clothing items and aceessories. Makeup I used a combination of brown liner and shade to give quite a minimal 'dark' look for the outfit - I think it works, as well as a nude lip, the trousers definitely don't need any flashes or pops of colour with these looks^ I also took the opportunity to show off my newly redesigned room. Previously this just had the couch and plant but I've added just a few decor pieces to spruce it up a little, and the golden detailing worked perfectly for this look, a bit of a coincidence!

Be sure to leave a 'Thought' or a comment below and let me know what you think of this post, and what you might want to see here in the future =)

We've all been waiting for it! | SEPHORA RELEASE

*This post comes from my blog The Stardoll Beauty Spot*

So it's heeeeereeee! I think Sephora has been the most talked about brand that users want brought back to the site, and well today is our lucky day! Stardoll has made a "Best of" store of some of the Sephora makeup that was available back in the day - now yesterday talking about it with friends, we were expecting great products however not at a very friendly price, so lets so how the store does! 

I think I may have spent 5 minutes drooling and staring at it before actually doing anything, to me it all just looks so beautiful and pretttttty! Haha =) Anyway, there's a great selection of all beauty products that we could need really, eyeshadows, eyeliner, eye pencils, eyebrow pencils, blush, lipsticks, mascara etc etc etc - I'm just a little sad there's only one lip liner and it's a bright shade, if it was a paler pink I would be using that all the time! There's also a good variety of colours and shades of everything, a particular favourite are those lip colours, I've spent a while just there trying them all on and falling in love with each more than the next, the colours are perfect and I absolutely love them on my doll!
So, on to prices - they range from 5 to 15 SD's, which I have to say is what I think I could have hoped, but didn't expect to get! However, I added everything that I didn't already have (I was around for the original Sephora so I already had a couple of these products) to my basket and I think I had a mini MI, I don't really want to pay over 400 SD's for all of that! So despite the above images saying I have 45 items in my basket, I didn't buy them all - I analysed each product that I thought I wanted and then made some tough decisions to cut that total down to 201 SD buying 17 items - which were all of the lipsticks (yes, pretty much every single one!) and the 3 blushes, which were something I had always wished I'd bought first time around! Ended up leaving all the eye products for now - I spent a lot of time comparing the colours to the ones I already have (which is too many!) and found that a lot were very similar, as the store is here for a month, I'm planning to spend that time looking at them more and comparing products to see if the colour difference would make a difference in makeup looks etc. plus if I want to part with those SD's!
Finally, just a few of the fabulous lips colours that I'm loving, that Kat Von D Dusty Rose is just amazing, don't you think? =D

So what did you guys think? Good release? If you bought any products and have worn them, let me know in comments and show me what you've done with your new products! 

Spring 2012 Hair & Beauty Overview

Hi dolls, I'm Khol (Hollyoaksrocks*) and I am a new Hair and beauty writer for TTT... So exciting! 

So firstly, we have a trend that never really leaves, the famous 'Winged eyes' - otherwise known as 'Cat Eyes'.  Seen at shows such as Jonathan Saunders, D&G, Fendi and Kanye West, It is a bold, sharp, yet elegant look. It was also the trademark of the late Amy Winehouse (R.I.P) which wasn't very perceived well but overall, the Winged Eye is an iconic look that will never date.

The second Must have look is Powerful Lips,Seen at Mulger and Erdem, these lips will stand out from miles away! From colours such as Red, Pink, Orange, Blue, they work with untouched eyes, as the lips would not stand out.

Another bang on trend look is the 90's inspired vibrent dyed hair, seen at most European runways such as Paris Fashion week spring 2012, Dip Dying and faded hair is the way to go! The #1 tip is to grow out your

 roots to really contrast the hair.

Here are some pictures of various spring 2012 beauty trends;

I hope this all inspires you and look forward to seeing some of you rock these looks on your medolls!, Might even feature my favourite looks on you next time.

Love Khol XXX
