Fashion Review: Acid

The fashion line Acid owned by Khol (hollyoaksrocks*) has released it's debut collection, a summer 2013 ready-to-wear line, which you can view by clicking here.

At first glance this collection struck me as a very basic but stylish collection and I continue to stick by this, however as you look closer into the collection itself it is easier to see the flaws.

First of all, it is extremely basic, almost to the point of not passing for a full summer collection. I also found a lot of it reminiscent to older Stardoll clothing, such as the beanie, plain tees from Basics, some shoes from Pretty in Love and the cap recently released in Original Future. I didn't mind the one model but I would have preferred to seen some other faces, as well as a runway background to set off the 10 outfits.

The 90s inspired collection didn't really scream 90s to me and the only items that strongly reminded me of the era were the two tie dye items shown at the beginning of the collection.

I, for one, am a huge fan of Khol's exciting style and I enjoy visiting her suite to see what outfit she has conjured up for the day, however this collection has left me slightly disappointed. I can only begin to think of how exciting this collection could be but instead it is just above the level of mediocre. Saying this, I did enjoy numerous pieces and found some pieces and prints very interesting.

I'm excited to see what Khol has to offer for the next collection of Acid and I'm hoping that it's able to grow from the criticism and deliver an outstanding second edition full of creative ideas and pieces.

Met Gala - Best and Worst Dressed (In my Opinion)

So last night was the 2013 Met Gala which saw the dress code: PUNK. Many of you will probably be thinking "strange!" but trust me, you will be shocked.

Let's start with Best Dressed;

Miley Cyrus - BEST DRESSED

Many of you will be hating my decision, But I absolutely LOVE this. I'm a massive fan of Miley's style and she just looks phenomenal in this Marc Jacobs fishnet dress. The hair is spot on too! 

Punk Meter: 10/10

Anne Hathaway

Rocking her new blonde cut, Anne didn't fail to wow people with her new look.

Anne always looks stunning and I think the Blonde do is so gorgeous. She really did this Vintage Valentino dress justice.

Punk Meter: 8/10

Nicole Richie

Love it or Hate it, I think she looks amazing. Everyone is talking about the hair, I don't think it's permanent but it's quite cute. It doesn't really suit her skin tone very much, but hey, It's Nicole Richie! She was born to be a fashion icon!

Punk Meter: 8/10

Rooney Mara

Rooney looked exceptional with this gorgeous Givenchy dress, She really did the dress justice with her natural makeup, The dark lips really set the look off which made the overall look superb.

Punk Meter: 8/10

Worst Dressed;

Madonna - WORST DRESSED

Oh Madge, What are you doing?! Yes, you got the memo but whoa too much!

You have passed your sell by date and look horrendous don't even start me on the hair, oh dear lord!

Punk Meter: 6/10

Ashley Olsen

An Orange comes to mind when I look at this. Ashley what are you doing? You are supposed to be one of the most fashionable people on earth.

Punk Meter: 1/10

Gwyneth Paltrow

This was either going to be a major hit or a major miss, and you missed.

Not only is there no element of punk in this look, you look like a Quality Street.

Too pink Gwyneth!

Punk Meter: 0/10

Jessica Biel

This is just not a good look, The black netting is HIDEOUS, It really is a good job you are pretty because I'd dread to think what it would look like on an ugly person. Please, never wear anything like this ever again. Unless you are dressing up as a Pregnant Spider for Halloween.

Punk Meter: 4/10

Is Springate back?

Many of us know the beautiful Springate suddenly disappeared almost 3 years ago. With his elite charms and collection of rare clothes, He left everyone shocked by his unexplained departure.

I was browsing suites today and went to visit Springate and saw this message in his guestbook;

My first thought was "Oh god, a noob trying to pose as him" But then when i clicked on the user, I got this;

It's hard to believe it would really be him with the unflattering doll, But it got me thinking - Maybe it really is him and because he's been away for so long, He's still in with the old doll look?

This account states that they forgot the password to Springate and cannot access it.

I don't know what to believe, I do have a small suspicion that this could be true.

But is this just a hacker trying to get their hands on Anthony's Account?

What do you think? Comment below with your thoughts!

What Were You Thinking?

DISCLAIMER: Before you start rambling on about how I can't judge anyone because my style is 'crap'. This is not real life, and every fashion blog needs a worst dressed segment.

We've all experienced bad outfits some point in our lives, I know I have! However, is there really a time where your outfit is so bad that it should be burnt and buried without a send off? Unfortunately, there is.

Take a look at the worst dressed medoll's of the week below...

MandaMichalka

At first I thought this outfit was fine, but then my brain quickly changed its mind. It looks like a paper boy and a russian school girl got together behind a shed. The shirt is too white for the contrast of the skirt and the skirt is an unfriendly shade of brown which screams "trash". It is extremely rare to make socks and sandals work and in this case, it failed. What were you thinking?

Manolo.DiCicco
My eyes are trying to escape! Firstly, the hot pants? Please make it stop! Never ever should a man wear jeans hot pants even if it's Channing Tatum (well okay he would still look super hot!) In this case, it's a big no. The metallic jacket is cute but it's been put with the wrong things, and don't even start me on the shoes. What were you thinking?

Ruubin
Wow, I've heard of trashy, but then there is extremely trashy! First of all, too much pink and black; Break it up! The pearl cape is as unnecessary as Justin Bieber's Fans and the top of the outfit seems too young and girly to be put with them boots. You really do look like a cheap stripper Selena. What were you thinking?

Sweet_Gal11
Don't get me wrong, your doll can be super gorgeous at times, but today? Nuh-Uh! That dress is difficult to style and you didn't do it any favours. Putting black tights with that type of dress is a definite no-no, A certain name rings a bell when I look at this outfit; Cruella DeVille? How you doing gurl?! What were you thinking?

Fashion Exam #4

Hey dolls! We're back for a new term! 

To start off with a bang we have two very interesting outfits to mark.

Cooldeer123 (tania) and Emmahunt4 (hilmy)

Guys, what is going on? Tania: I sort of like it but then I don't. The hat is ridiculous and doesn't go with the outfit, along with the random leopard print bag. The rest is nice though.

Hilmy: I don't even know what to say, what the hell are you doing? Firstly you have this horrendous sweater then you have some tin foil gloves and boots. Are you attempting to cook yourself? 

Well say no more, here are you grades;

Tania                                

                                          

Outfit = D-                         

Shoes = B                          

Makeup = C                       

Hair = C                             

                                           

Overall Grade = C- or 65%

                                         

Hilmy                               

                                         

Outfit = G                         

Shoes = G                         

Makeup = D                      

Hair = C                            

                                          

Overall Grade = F or 40%

                                         

Well, Tania you just about passed! but Hilmy, you failed badly,

Tania you passed with a C- / 65% - The outfit was just too quickly put together in my opinion. 

Hilmy you failed with an F / 40%  - Nothing could of helped this outfit, maybe if you burnt it, you would of got an A.

Until next time,

It's Back, Fashion Exam

COMING TOMORROW.

Queen Bey: Superbowl

Hey dolls! So if you didn't know already, The queen of RnB - Beyoncé performed at the famous Superbowl 2013 half-time show last night. I can only describe her performance as nothing but amazing. Watch it here!

Not only that, but the rest of Destiny's Child joined her on the stage!

I don't know about you, but I hyperventilated and nearly fainted!

WE'RE BACK
