Bambi Revolution
For the ones that follow the future of fashion at the numerous fashion weeks, you may have seen Bambi featuring on the latest Givenchy runway. We could even say that Bambi is the new Mickey. This spring prepare for the Marc Jacobs crop top with Mickey all over the fashion scene.

HUGE accessories
This spring, designers left us with edgy proportions. Minimalism is slowly fading away as Carine Roitfeld said she hopes so at the last Paris Fashion Week. Here we are in spring and it's time for you to get some references on what you will have to wear this season as accessories.The master word here is HUGE, choose to wear some big accessories the next month at the beach or if you are willing to chill out to eat an ice cream.
Take your huge Chanel pearls as shown at the side here.

The Sandals on Your Feet (Series 1 - Episode 1)
Titanium white strap sandals interrupted by air width cross-read straps; placed directly above the toe - shortening the look & feel of your feet, oh, just a little description of what I believe best describes Alexander Wang's minimalistic approach to the summer's "typical" sandal.
The reasons are my liking of this shoe is how complex it truly is. You can wear this shoe day or night. This shoe is so complex that you can wear it to any event, whether it’s to a wedding on the beach, or possibly a night out in the town – plus, this shoe can be worn with all colours, well, because it’s white, everything matches white, right? But a Wang shoe like this doesn't come cheaply. The lovely sandal is for sale at a crazy £621.00, but don’t worry if your pockets aren't as deep as Kim Kardashian’s divorce settlement.

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?

Apologies!
In light of the tragic events in Boston recently, coupled with my extremely fast-approaching exams, I apologize for not being able to get last week's Hot Buys review up. The original version I had written earlier was too short to post, and since the collection was taken down before I could actually finish the review, I wasn't able to get it all done. I really am so sorry to be so weirdly MIA for the past few weeks. I hope you guys can forgive me!
And while I don't think I'll be as active due to exams and such, I won't be going on a complete hiatus, so thanks for understanding! See you dollies soon!

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...

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?
Coachella Hotbuys!
This week's Hotbuys are festival themed, Obviously inspired by Coachella!
What do you think of them?
here's some Coachella 2013 line up artists to get you in the festival mood.

A Minute to Remember
Just minutes ago I got word that Boston, Massachusetts was bombed in an act of terrorism. It breaks my heart that someone would go through that trouble to endanger my country that I am ever so proud to be a loyal citizen of.
While this post is in no means supposed to waver your thoughts, I thought it'd be a good idea to spread awareness.
I've personally been affected by this disaster. I have family who live in Massachusetts. Though I've been informed they are all alive and well, I have no doubt they've been affected as well. It makes no sense as to why someone would terrorize near innocent people.
For those who've passed today, I hope you are the brightest stars beyond the evening sky.
My deepest condolences to the friends and families affected,
-Lindsey Le'Vogue

S/S Trends—Hit or Miss?
The Sunday sun had declared its decent on the coastal horizon—replaced with a glowing ball of ice, setting the earth in a cooling phase. It'd be hard to believe that its the Spring months, soon to be Summer.
Though the point of this post is not to describe the seasonal changes, it somehow has a relation. I've came to talk about the S/S trends.
While I'm no fashion guru, I do so happen to have some insight on the booming industry this season. With nothing else to write about—and a longing desire to blog—I've decided to blog using a new mindset. Thus, welcome in a realm of S/S inspired thoughts.
A MONOCHROMATIC DESIRE—
Monochrome is without a doubt an overused pattern by designers alike this S/S season. Simply said, a monochrome trend is a play on the two ends of the spectrum: black and white. I personally think it depends on the design, but for the most part it's a catchy statement that I could easily see myself wearing.
With a bit of research, I've found some users sporting this trend. Your choice is to choose whether they hit or missed the trend.
COLORS OF THE SEA—
Even though aqua isn't the color of 2013, it might as well be. Its no wonder the turquoise hues were chosen as one of S/S hottest trends, as it possesses a rare summery vibe.
Which dolls hit or missed the trend?
FRINGE'D—
Yet another addition to the S/S empire, fringing is prominent in multiple different designer collections. I'll be completely honest, before eyeing the trend on the runway, I wasn't a huge fan of fringing. But as I continue to see more of it on stardoll, the more I've fallen for it. Believe it or not, but fringes are completely versatile!
Which members in dollywood ruled the runway?

Trendy Magazine: 3rd Issue Review
As promised, Trendy's 3rd Issue's Review is coming in your direction! Trendy is a magazine I have personally watched grow in front of my eyes, and have reviewed every single one of its issues so far on TTT. The past two times Trendy has received a 75%, or a C. Hopefully this time Trendy will score higher. As usual, instead of using page numbers, I use brackets, for example the cover of this magazine is [1/30]. This magazine has 30 pages.
Graphic Design: 9.5/10 Trendy graphics have really, really, REALLY improved. The change is phenomenal, and just shows how far this magazine has come in such a short period of time. It is clear from the gorgeous dresses and and cheekbone shading [5/30] that Trendy has come really far. The layout is great and absolutely stunning. The shading is clearly well done from the nice ombre to the cute spring trends [14/30] and the edgy uptown trends [15/30], to the EXCEPTIONAL Gaga graphic [19/30] where the graphic designer plays with becoming more 3-D. Really great work!
Fashion Editorial: 6/10 There's one huge takeaway from the fashion editorial that disappoints me that Trendy has not added to its magazine content. And that's a theme, a big one. Though the editorial is kind of black and white vs. tropical colors, it does not make much sense similarity wise [13-17/30]. The fashion is great and very relevant for the season, but again, they do not go together well, nor do not make sense in comparison to the "theme" that should be set by the cover.
Trends Shown: 9/10 Loving the different seasonal trends, one especially being "vibrant colors" [9/30]. The descriptions are absolutely fantastic, yet, the trends are not very similar, unfortunately. I love the heels, the vibrant spring/summer colors, and the black and white patterns, of course [9-12/30].
Creativity: 7/10 Most of the magazine is not very original, unfortunately, and major points off for it. What I did like about the creativity, though, was the Stardoll user design upcoming fashion brands [28-29/30]. I think its a wonderful way to promote how important user based fashion design is to Stardoll.
Writing Style: 6/10 Again, WHAT WRITING? The only thing that could slightly signify as an article would be the Marc Jacobs article [5-7/30], but even that, is mainly autobiographical. Major points off.

How did this magazine score?
37.5 out of 50, at 75% or C
My Final Comments: Unfortunately, Trendy has not gone up in score. A lot of this has to do with the magazine not improving in key areas where they are losing most of the points. The lower score areas are areas that could be easily improved upon, but are not. This is disappointing, of course, and I hope the editors will take this into consideration next time around.
NEXT WEEK... THE BEST OF THE PAST ISSUE 1.
