Introducing... Colour Combo-nator!

Hello! I'm Maria and this is my first post! If you want to visit me on Stardoll, my user is World-of-me!

Many people sometimes have trouble with picking colour's for their Stardoll outfit and I decided to help! This is a nice strategy for picking unique colour combo's you like!

So, let's start!

For this strategy, you will need:

~ 1 Piece Of Paper
~ Something to write/draw with.
~ Coloured elastic bands are most preferable, but you can use pencil crayons.

To start, using the item your drawing with, draw a three by three grid just like on the picture above. I suggest using a corner of the paper to save space.

Then, if you have a specific colour you want the combo's to focus on most, put that colour of an elastic band on the circle in the middle of the grid. This way there will be more combo's focused on that colour. If you have pencil crayons, colour in the middle circle!

Now, place colours ( elastic bands on the circles or colour circle with pencil crayons) either,

1. Randomly, this, believe it or not sometimes works! ( Read the rest to know what I mean) By randomly, I mean you can do closed-eyes-and-place-colours randomly.

2. Place colours close to each other that you think will work and on the other side of the colour a different combination.

3. The way YOU want! You could even try 1 colour on each side of another!

After you could check which combinations you made! For example, there could be combinations down each column of circles, across, and diagonally!

Pick your favorite and start looking in the catalog using the search button for specific colours for clothes!

Example: If it's Green, teal, black. You can try a green top, a teal skirt and black accessories!

Hopefully this worked!

Bye,

Maria.

Replicating Real Spring Fashion on Stardoll

   Today, I'm here to talk about the latest Spring fashion styles and how you can make them on Stardoll. We're focusing on skirts, but almost any outfit can be replicated on your medoll. Let this post be your inspiration and guide to do so. 

 

Pastel tube 12sd
Royal Magenta Maxi Skirt 12sd

Style 1: Maxi Skirts

I recommend a Maxi Skirt. They are very popular this year and Stardoll has a lot of them. I suggest a matching top. Try to pick similar looking fabrics that are light, airy and flowy. 

In the photo to the left, user E-mazing replicates a Spring outfit shown right, using "Pastel tube 12sd" and "Royal Magenta Maxi Skirt 12 sd". You can do the same for a total of 24sd. Check the starplaza and you'll see that there are many more Maxi inspired outfit combinations!

Style 2: White Lace

I recommend a white laced skater skirt. It's basic color and unique texture makes it very versatile and look good with a lot. Stardoll has lots of white skirts, but only a few quite like a white laced skater skirt. No matter, it's still a must-have this Spring.

Clean Cut Shirt 19sd
Woven Copper Belt 42sc
Klara Skirt 14sd

In the photo to the left, you can see how user E-mazing replicated this real outfit on her medoll using:

• Clean cut shirt 19sd 
• Woven Copper belt 42sc
• Klara skirt 14sd 

You can have this look for a total of 33sd and 42sc. I'm sure this would look good on all you beautiful ladies!

Bonus Style: In Spring everyone loves flowers, and this season they're definitely in. Try to include floral patterns and accessories in your Spring wardrobe this year. Usually one floral item is enough to make the whole outfit a success.

Fashion Interview | Ft. missjas222

What's up y'all, it's yours truly, Krissy, & I'm back again with missjas222 (Jas) on an interview based on one of my favorite things..

FASHION!

I decided to get the inside scoop on what Fashion means to her. Let's take a look.

Q. #1: What is your definition of fashion? 

A: Can you really define fashion, or a person's unique style? Because that is ultimately what fashion is - It's the way people can express themselves in a creative manner that's individual and original to them; Yes people follow the latest trends & styles, but I believe that everyone adapts that in their own way and their own unique interpretation of that. 

Q. #2: What is your personal style & why?

A: My style is chic, classy, and sophisticated - I like incorporating that element of Vintage classic in my outfits as well as keeping it modern and elegant. I have always generally loved these types of styles because they're classic, but you can always add your own spin to it, which I think is very important to do. The fashion and outfits you put together have to be just that - Put by you and expressing your own creative style! :)

Q. #3: Did you get inspired by any celebrities or persons in particular to figure out what your style was? If so, who, & why?

A: I don't think I have a single celebrity that has inspired me as I see something. My instant response would be, "Ooh, that's nice." or, "Ooh, that would be great with.." And that has developed my style, because I have become aware of what I like and how I can adapt it to build my style. I love adapting colors into my style and outfits as that expresses my creativity and love for color.

Q. #4: Do you plan to have a career in your future that centers around fashion?

A: I like to keep my options open. A pathway in fashion sounds great, however, something I do know is that my love for fashion will be with me in whatever job I do! :)

Q. #5: Do you have any tips or advice to give about style or fashion?

A: Do not be afraid to express your own creative and unique style - Wear what you want to wear, and be original. Never feel that you can't. Dress how you want!

Well that's it for now! Thanks Jas for your time to participate in this interview!

Callie's Picks | Punk Princess - No.14

Hello, everyone! As you know, the 14th round of Callie's Picks came in a few days ago. To me, the outfits on the mannequins are the real definition of fashion. All the pieces go together like a puzzle, to produce the perfect look. If you want to purchase some of these fine items, be sure to save up, because you know Callie's Picks don't stay for long. In my opinion, the blue bedazzled skirt is flawless. The colors match nicely, & the sequins gave it a more glamorous look. What do you think of this round of Callie's Picks? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!

SubCouture - Collection 2 Review

Click this picture to head to the SubCourture shop!

Yesterday, Stardoll launched the second collection of their rare brand, SubCouture. SubCouture is mainly dresses and gowns, but this collection also has a couple tops and bottoms. The dresses range from 21-30 Stardollars. Of course, because this is a rare brand, there is no starcoin items. Sorry non-superstars! Now, let's check out the items in SubCouture. (As you can see from the timer in the corner, there is only 18 hours left of the store being here in Canada, where I live)

The store seems to be divided in half. On the left side, there are more girly, brighter, summery-er dresses. On the left there seems to be more darker, mature, elegant dresses. I really like how original some of these dresses are. Dresses like the Miles Of Chiffon Gown are so simple and basic, but I really haven't seen it on Stardoll. I think items like that are items Stardoll users have been waiting for, only too bad this store is only available to people with large amounts of Stardollars.

Miles Of Chifffon Gown

As for the individual outfits with a top and a bottom, I don't like them very much. Of course this is just my opinion, but I think they look a lot like other things in Starplaza. The outfit in the middle that is all black I think looks horrible. Plus, if you look at the items individually, they looks worse. The top, in my opinion, is horribly ugly. I just think SubCouture should have stuck with the dresses and gowns. It seems to me that dresses and gowns are what Stardoll is best at!

My SubCouture Collection 2 Items

So, all in all, I think SubCouture is a great store for those who love gorgeous dresses, and have tons of Stardollars to blow. Of course, after today, anything from this collection of SubCouture will only be available in the Starbazaar for way way waaaay more money that it was originally sold for in the store. Luckily for me, I was able to get my hands on some SubCouture items before the store was taken down.

Top from the black SubCouture Outfit

So, this store will be taken down in a couple hours. Do you think Stardoll will put out a Collection 3 of SubCouture? Have you bought anything from this collection? What's your favourite item? I sure hope Stardoll releases a third collection for SubCouture, because I think the dresses are gorgeous. I just hope Stardoll sticks to desiging dresses for this brand, because personally I don't think the outfits are the prettiest.

I think we can probably be looking forward to SubCouture No. 3 in the Summer/Fall, maybe with bright summery dresses and cute, seasonal fall dresses. This collection did great capturing the spirit of winter, as well as the spirit of spring!

Miley Insprired Purse

    Miley Cyrus is a major trend setter! Stardoll has created an inspired look from one of the purses she wore at an event called Armani USA. Of course she's rocking the outfit, even in doll form.

      In my opinion, Miley is a very inspiring artist. She isn't afraid to show the real her. She shows people that it is okay to change, just to actually be yourself for a change. Her sense of fashion is off the wall, ballistic & daring, which I find very interesting. I wouldn't say I'm the biggest fan of her music, just who she is as a person. What do you guys think about her? Do you like Miley? If so, why or why not?

How to make a Tribute Medoll

  Making a Tribute medoll is one of the sweetest things you can do. It shows that you are inspiring and dedicated to a cause. If you make a wonderful Tribute Medoll, you can get a lot of great feedback. Although, if you make a Tribute Medoll incorrectly, you might offend people. That's why I'd like to take the time to make this post.
 
  Let's start off with the Tribute Medoll ideas.

  Serious Tribute Ideas:

• Cancer is one of the most touching and common Tribute medolls you can pick. This kind of doll usually displays a head without any hair. 
• War is another really supportive Tribute medoll. This doll usually shows a uniform and your countries flag.
• Anti-Racism is a really tough Tribute idea to pull off. It usually displays a doll with a different skin color then you usually pick for you doll.
• Self Love would be a wonderful Tribute idea. It could include an inspiring message to others.

  Light Hearted Tribute Ideas:

• Celebrity is a really fun Tribute idea. They usually look similar to the real person and display why this celebrity is important to you.
• Fictional Character can be another hard one, especially if the book hasn't been turned into a movie. Use your imagination and use props to make this doll easy to recognize. 
• If you have any more ideas for Tribute Medolls, please post them in the comments. Please and thank you!

  Steps to a Successful Tribute Medoll

 

1. Pick a Tribute idea. When choosing your theme, be sure to consider difficulty and how much knowledge you have on this subject. If you can relate to it more, it might push you to make a better final product.
2. Do your research. This is important so that you get your facts right and don't offend anyone. It will also get you more excited about your cause and give you inspiration. Skipping this step may end badly.
3. Find some Reference Photos. Look online for photos relating your cause. Find some to model your doll after. It will help you to stay realistic and work for a better final product. As always, be careful when looking online. 
4. Build the Tribute Doll. A Tribute medoll should take more time then your usual medoll. Don't settle for good. Work until it's great, because it sends a stronger message. Also, remember to use your reference photos.
5. Set the Scene. If you enjoy going above and beyond, make a setting too. Decorate one of your rooms to fit your Tribute theme. Reference photos are more important then ever in this step. 
6. Write an Inspiring Message. It's always a good idea to explain your Tribute medoll. I suggest including your inspiring message in your presentation. You might include: personal experiences and famous quotes. Always remember to check your facts, so you're not giving people false information. Last but not least, stay positive.
7. Ask for Feedback. Once you've finished, ask your friends and family for feedback. It's a good idea to ask for feedback right away, so in case you've made a mistake, you can fix it before anyone is offended. As always, remember that criticism is a part of getting better. So make sure you can handle being critiqued, before you ask for people's opinions. People can say hurtful things, especially when they're talking about issues they're passionate about.

How to: Create a Sophisticated Medoll Successfully

Polincik

A.n.k.s.a.

   To create a sophisticated medoll, you don't need to be grown up or even a serious person. The definition of sophisticated is: developed to a high degree of complexity. If you examine these medolls, you'll notice that each involves a variety of colors, patterns and fabrics. Based on these pictures and the definition of sophisticated, I have come up with some helpful tips to creating sophisticated medolls!

xXEwelina1996Xx

--kayley

• Colors- A sophisticated medoll can be created using almost any colors, but the brighter and more cartoonish you make the colors, the more difficult the look is to pull off. If you want to make it easier for yourself, use colors similar to those shown in these photos. Use a variety of colors that are close on the color wheel. 

• Patterns- A sophisticated medoll should include solid colors or simple patterns like plaid, stripes or polka dots. Use a variety of different patterns for the best effect and avoid graphics and text, especially in bright colors. In the end, you can use anything you want, just tread carefully. Use the patterns on the medolls shown as your guide.

• Fabrics- A sophisticated medoll could be made using any fabric, but like I said about colors, there are fabrics that make it harder to pull off. I think you should avoid spandex and other shiny fabrics. Use fabric with texture, like wool, lace or fur. Look at the photos shown for examples of texture in sophisticated medolls. 



   The overall idea that I'm trying to share with you, is that a sophisticated medoll needs to be complicated. The definition of complicated is: consisting of many interconnecting parts or elements. You can make it complicated by using many different colors, patterns and fabrics that all work together. It takes good taste and practice, but if you can find the harmony in the different elements, you will have mastered the key to creating a sophisticated medoll.

New Stardoll Realbrand Store: Nelly

Aaaaaaah! Stardoll has released a new Realbrand store! They haven't had a RB store in like, FOREVEERRR.! Remeber when they had Sephora? BOY Do I miss that store.
Anyways, here are some of the clothes on Stardoll and in real life c:

They're all priced around 20 stardollars.
I hope you enjoy this new store c:

Shopping With ASB10!

Since E-Mazing did a similar post to this one, click here if you haven't already read it, it's really great, I thought I would make one! (: So, E-mazing, I am going to structure mine like yours! (:

Before: (this part was borrowed from E-mazing's post, so credit to her)

Skim through your closet and beauty parlor to refresh your memory on what you own. This will help prevent you from buying items similar to items you already have. 

Earn your daily starcoins and check out the offers. That way you'll have the maximum budget available to you and you'll be able to buy more eventually.

Check out how many Stardollars and Starcoins you have, and decide how much you're willing to spend.

During:

1.  I decide how many Stardollars and Starcoins I want to spend. Ask you can see, I only have around 500 Starcoins and 10 Stardollars. I am going to try my best and save Stardollars, but I am willing to spend all my starcoins. After all, you know how hard it is to freaking get back your stardollars. *Hint hint, Stardoll*
2. I go to the Catalog and see if there are any sales going on. Unfortunately, there are none at this time. I then check the things in the Starplaza window. Look, Wild Candy has a new collection out! (Post about THAT coming soon!*wink wink*)
3. I decide to buy a whole new outfit. So, I go to the Catalog and look under 'Fashion -> Tops -> Starcoins' 
4. Hey, I kinda like these three things. I will drag them into my Dressing Room!

The Deciding Process (WWD)

• Would This Item Look Good With Any Other Items? I really liked all these items, but I think the Purple Sky Shirt really looked the best on my MeDoll, and I know for sure I have other skirts and tights I can pair it up with.

• What Is The Price Of The Item?

Now remember, if you're buying a full outfit, you're not going to want to spend all your money on only one item in the outfit. You never know if you might see a bottom, shoes, or accessory that you really love, but now you can't afford it. Even though the Purple Sky Shirt is the most expensive, there are many possibilities for it!

• Does It Look Good On Your MeDoll?

I tried on all of the tops, and I loved them all. Buuuuut, it turns out that the Purple Sky Shirt was more my style and looked the best.

Now, whatever item you answered for these questions the most, is the one you should probably buy!

• BUT WHAT IF I ANSWERED A DIFFERENT ITEM FOR ALL 3?

Never fear! Just go through the process again, and THINK, HARDER. 

Now, using those tips and the WWD Process, I have narrowed my outfit down to this:

I know I didn't buy any pants, but like E-mazing said, If something doesn't catch your eye, try again tomorrow!

HAVE FUN SHOPPING (:

Top Stylish **CHEAP** Starcoin Outfit Picks!

Not having Stardollars seems to be one of the biggests problems Stardoll faces today. With so many new members, there honestly is no way to get Stardollars without either 

1. Buying them

2. Using the ones you get from Yearbook activities (which you WILL need to complete the next task, so they don't last long at all)
or

3. Selling things in your bazaar. (Which we all know, non-superstars don't have this option)

So? How can you be stylish without spending a few stardollars? It's actually easier than you think! Read these tips to find out what stores sell Starcoin items, as well as my TOP picks from those stores!

**All Items Are Under 200 Starcoins Total**

What Stores Sell Starcoin Items?
First off, get to know what stores offer Starcoin items. Most stores do, but there are a few that don't such as: Limited Edition, Antidote, Archive, Hot Buys, and most other designer/limited edition/collector brands.

Unfortunately the stores that DO sell some Starcoin items often don't have very good selection. 

There is a store, however, that sells MOSTLY Starcoin items, with the exception of like 1 or 2 items: Wild Candy.
