Summer Royalty

In recent days a new Royalty collection was released, inspired by somewhat of a family summer day out theme. Prices range from 7 stardollars, for a pair of sunglasses, to 25 stardollars for the beautiful interior.

Aside from the clothes was the release of a little girl, shown in the image above, which sparked some discussion among members due to the diverse cultures of Stardoll and only one choice of girl. I think it would have been nice to see more variety of race however either way people would probably complain.  What are your thoughts?

I must also apologise for the lack of posts - I will be posting another writer application soon. The TTT FW schedule will be released in the next week or so and the proposed dates are the 12th to 14th of July.

Competition - Get Trendy

As presented in the previous post, the summer trends are now coming into full swing and I thought that this would be a good time to present a new competition on Today's Top Trends.

Remember you must be a follower of the blog to participate. Once sent in, Khol and myself will review the outfits and then pick the top three to be voted on by you. The prize will be 150 stardollars.

The trends: sixties, statement stripes, minimalism, sheen and faux flowers
You can view more details of the above trends in the post below.

The deadline is 14th June, 2013. 
I look forward to seeing your entries!

Fashion Focus - Get Trendy

The summer months have arrived and if you don't know what the hottest trends from S/S 2013 are then you're in the right place. We're rounding up only a select few of the runway trends from this season, in our S/S 2013 trend round up.

From bold graphic prints to oriental styling and monochrome colour play this is set to be a vintage year for must-try trends. We're craving jumbo statement stripes and faux flower florals - so read on to discover your favourite new trends for summer.

Sixties - The sixties are still providing a host of fashion inspiration for designers with Victoria Beckham, Louis Vuitton and Prada all bringing back some classic sixties shapes.

Statement Stripes - Get ready to make a statement this summer in jumbo sized stripes. They were seen everywhere over the runways and will be a trend that keeps on going. Whether you wear them bold in black and white or mix things up with colour at Paul Smith, one thing's for sure - you'll be turning heads! If you wish to view more runway shoes where these bold stripes were featured check out Acne, Dolce & Gabbana, Tommy Hilfiger, Giles or Marc Jacobs.

Minimalism - Topshop Unique, Calvin Klein and Nicole Farhi all know how to do minimalism with panache. Many adore the simple lines and cool colours for a no nonsense approach to style. Check these out at the S/S 2013 shows from Calvin Klein, Hermes, Margaret Howell, Nicole Farhi, Topshop Unique or Valentino.

Sheen Team - Metallic is a hard trend to nail, but if you're going to sheen then you should go all out. Take Dior's beautiful high shine dresses and Diane Von Furstenberg's use of shimmering textures for inspiration. Find more at Burberry Prorsum, Diane Von Furstenberg, Jonathon Saunders, Mulberry, or Christian Dior.

Faux Flower Power - The trend for in your face faux flowers was nailed by Holly Fulton, who whacked oversized posies on her dresses, top and skirts in a full on floral collection. Want to view more? Take a look at Anna Sui, Moschino Cheap & Chic and Fashion East.

Part two of this post, with the competition will be posted tomorrow!

5 Questions: Gladis Wung Lee

She recently introduced an exciting new project entitled the Stardollogist, alongside both Now and Be, so I took the opportunity to have a chat with Gladis herself, and ask her those all important five questions.

TTT: You recently started up the Stardollogist, what inspired you to create it?

G: I recently started the stardollogist out of pure boredom. There was also the factor where I kept seeing people hustling and bustling with a magazine or a fashion blog yet I kept feeling like I was drowning into the unknown. That too, I felt like my mark on stardoll was a bruise fading away and blending in with the rest of the skin. On top of that, I also insisted myself I need to create something I would love. Since I love journalism and had always been an enthusiast of fake gossip such as elite news, the stardollogist was born.

TTT: Interesting! What plans do you have for the future of the project? It's a very exciting new idea and I'm sure the TTT readers would love an insight on what's to come.

G: Well this will sound disappointing but only time will tell! At this point I am SUPER busy with school so I can't really slip that in but ill try!! A lot of major gossip and juicy rumours will float around celebrities in the stardoll scene. You have to really examine that person because, trust me, you haven't really seen that dollywood personality until you've read an article in Stardollogist on their secret lives. (Spoiler on next issue: the worst gang violence anyone has ever seen in all of Stardoll)

Street Chic: Stardoll Style, Glamorous Spring

Who: Laurenboy
What: Simple golden toned glamour blended with effortless spring style.
Wear: Silk top, Chanel Box Purse, Moschino sequin shorts, beige shoes, gold detailed belt and gold accessories with colourful accents, all set off by a bright and fresh red lip.

Safari Summer or Nothing!

You may think that safari patterns have been here for a long time. For sure they have, however they've never been so well made and well worn on the runways for summer before. Of course, you may find it ridiculous for all looks to be in one pattern, but here's where you will be able to find some great looks.

Purity has been found at MaxMara

This summer, the MaxMara woman goes intellectual and she wants to make a Safari in Africa. After all, she spends a lot for this country with all the money she's giving to philanthropic causes helping Africa, so it seems logical for her to go there once in her life. Then, as always, she's having great fun with her luxurious clothes, sometimes wearing jumpsuits or skirts with very feminine shirts, the whole time in Sahara or soil color. As she also becomes interested about the country, she knows that when it rains, it does a lot... so it's logical to bring a great coat, a master piece that gives a real tribute to the country itself.

'One, two, three not only you and me' at Emilio Pucci

The Pucci woman seems to have re-invented the three colours of the look. It's mostly white, beige and brown with yellow or green hints. Jumpsuits are her best friends, whether long or short. She's just having fun with this colors that go well with her tanned skin from the sun of the summer. If it is not to wear at work she mostly wears it on sundays when she's invited to a brunch on the Upper East Side or to a polo game at the luxurious Hamptons.

When you think about Safari, you think about Kenzo

Of course, what would be this post without the Kenzo woman? Well, she's completely crazy, in the best way. Anna Dello Russo wouldn't even have to mix Kenzo pieces with other brands to make these outfits, she can already easily have it all, just going to a Kenzo boutique. The patterns are big, the colors are bright and neon, but the shapes are casual and loose. The Kenzo woman may be a bit of a paradox and she isn't afraid to wear it every day. She's tropical every where, mostly on the subway!

New designers bring new concepts: the Safari mermaid from Anthony Vaccarello

The Anthony Vaccarello woman is a mermaid living in the night. She does not own that many clothes to go to work in so she prefers to live like a socialite, partying at each and every fashion event around. As she follows fashion she loves young designers, so she found Anthony who designed these amazing dresses for her with a big Safari inspiration. The shape doesn't change that much, but for her it's important to look similar every time as she wants to be easily recognisable. After all, you can't just live partying all of your life!
