This Week on Stardoll Nยบ25

 This Monday we were surprised by a Runway release, they have always released the brand on Friday (even when the store became non-limited), idk what happened form them to release it in the start of the week. Anyways... This ner Runway collection have 2 floors and a total of 10 looks and none of them are good



I must confess I was expecting a new Pop Shop collection with New Year party themed items, it would be more useful, in my opinion. The graphics of some of these are awful (see the sparkly pants) and the pieces could have been better chosen, the fashion taste of some stardoll designers are really questionable.

I wouldn't mind if these items were released in a regular store with regular prices, cause for a non limited their prices are RIDICULOUS! They should make Runway limited again or drop these prices, lets be honest.

The second release for this week was It Girls, a small number of items and nothing that stands out.


The most interesting piece is the cat shaped bag, this said, I have nothing much to comment on this release.
And once again Stardoll removed a bunch of recent releases from plaza while adding some old limited items for bazar sale. I wish they had done this with very old items that are laying there for ages.

For the last release of the year I was expecting anything but a Wild Candy collection. But we got a 2 floors release, which I can only think in the word "kitsch" to describe it...



At least these sparkly pants looks better designer than the previous one release on monday in Runway... and they're so creative for using to same name for both items!

This Week on Stardoll Nยบ24

 To start this Christmas week Stardoll prepared a cute Sunny Bunny ☀️ collection, with outfits inspired by xmas decor, like snowman, tree and gingerbread. It includes clothes, jewelry (with bp and suite versions) and a snowflake decor item.


At first, I only liked the snowman dress and white boots, but looking for them with some time, now I kinda like the whole release... Have you liked any of these costumes? I've seen some of you already styled some of these items but I'd like to hear what everyone thought when saw this Sunny Bunny floor.

For wednesday, we got a more formal release in The JetSet. The collection includes some dresses worn by the Jenner sisters, so we already know they were a huge success among the players.


My favorite item from this release was the posed jacket with gloves, unfortunately but not surprisingly, it came with an annoying glitch in it's back piece that blinks all the time like it's a christmas light. The black silk skirt is also very interesting and kinda funny as it made the mannequin very tall, the red velvet dress looks like the chair Santa uses to sit in the mall decor and I don't want to comment on the animal print dress...

A new decor collection came this friday, we received a two floors Winter Peak store.


At same time that I like the items I feel its more from the same, like they always choose the same items over and over again for winter themed decor... Like, we already have some fluffy chairs in the exactly same positions as the ones here and with same colors.
I think if they put some more effort to look for inspirations, they could find some more different and interesting items.
There's a competition on Stardoll Instagram evolving this winter peak, where you have to guess wich item from the collection was made by Vulacano. 
According to what I understood from the post, Santa will send gifts to the people who guess it right ๐ŸŽ

This Week on Stardoll Nยบ23

Oh, this week was a good one for the dolls who like decorating cause we had 2 consecutive decor releases. The fist one, on monday, was Sweet Suites and the second, on wednesday, a Callie's Picks Decor.

The Sweet Suites collection consist in two floors, one being a dining room and the other one a living room. I personally like the module sofa, as it reminded me of The Sims 4 dream home decorator pack and how happy I was when they announced that this pack had module sofas lol


But one thing that got me intrigued was the horse painting and how weird his neck is positioned (?), or I just don't know much about horses physiognomy.

I wasn't expecting a new Callie's Picks Decor any time soon, as we had one 3 weeks ago, I think, and again christmas themed and again with items that are still available in plaza in their real brand ๐Ÿฅฑ


But I must say I bought some of those because the fact there's a lot of starcoin items...

And finally, the long awaited Gift-o-Meter have arrived!


Like every GoM, it have 10 prizes stage, to get all of the 18 gifts (if I counted right) you have to spend a total of 300sd, in starplaza purchases only. 
Will you be buying it? Or have you completed the task? What are your favourite freebie from here?
I was very surprised when I saw this year they decided to add an interior there.

For last, and less important, we had a MstQ release this friday.


Sorry if I don't have much to say about it, this collection really got me speechless...
But I know Stardoll is a big community and for sure someone out there liked it, pls let me know if you're part of this selected group of people, I wanna see how you will style any of these items, and convice me that it was a good choice from stardoll graphic designers or who ever picked these items to add in the game.

Okay girls, now the long awaited announcement of the last week Subcouture comp:
So, all the dollies who entered did an amazing job and made it difficult for me to made a decision... So I passed this hard task for a friend of mine irl, because this is what I do when I have to make decicions, I make someone else choose for me (very mature of me, I know)...

She also was impressed by all the outfits but, after a minute of shoock for me still play this game, she decided to take a look and sent me this message: 

"picked these ones based on creativity, even tho all look good, they used in some way the same outfits in the mannequins, which isn't bad but I think this was to create something new or not? I don't understand this game lmao and also this pants looks awful and the dess looks like something I don't know how to describe! is it really a fashion game? anyways I pick this Kathy girl outfit, she did a good thing with the baggy brown pants and the classy lady with the ballon red dress"


Please add anything to your bazaar for 50sd or add this value in items to your wishlist and let me know so I can sent your prizes, xx

This Week on Stardoll Nยบ22

 People say that it's better late than never, and we can agree on that, as this monday collection was released very very late. 

At least the wait was totally worth it! Stardoll finally released the Aprรจs-ski featuring more items drawned by Vulacano, including the iconic Miu Miu set from the SS22.


When it arrived to plaza some pieces had bugs (as usual) but they were quickly fixed the next day, I wish they had fixed bugs in older sets as quick as this... I was also impressed with the amount of items in starcoins as their quality is so good, some even could be in a limited store!
The bad news is that we won't be seeing any more pieces designed by Vulacano this year, he said that he's working in more items to be released only in 2023, I hope it's for tributes season.

The wednesday collection was released in time. A small Bonjour Bizou collection containing some unsurprising items... 


And also there's the fact that the pink shoes were released not long time ago in Millionaire Mansion, as @cecilia heredia mentioned in chat section, the only difference between them is the price, as the BB one coasts 14sd and the one in MM is 16sd.

For friday we were expecting a new Subcouture collection, as we received an add and a message informing about it on thursday, as always there's a 50% more stardollars on selected packages.

I was very excited to see what was coming to Sub Couture, it's one of everyone's favorite stores because they use to bring some great statement pieces...
But this time we got a bunch of weird and goofy pieces, idk who the hell picked the items to bring in this collection and what this person have in mind.


The black puffy coat is the worst among these, in my opinion, it looks like a camp sleep bag and I can't see how someone could make a good styling with it! 

COMP

I already saw some of your general comments about this Sub collection, and your mixed feelings about it. Now I'd like to see how you all are styling the pieces you liked the most.

To enter this competition you have to style at least one of the main items from the collection, when I say main item I'm referring to tops, pants, jackets and any clothe piece that aren't an accessory.

✨You can send a maximum of two outfits for this comp;
✨The look can be created in plaza;
✨If using other dolls closet make sure you have their permission;
✨Please include your doll name in your entry post.

This comp will be available until the collection leaves plaza on monday, number of winners may vary according to the number of participation.

This Week on Stardoll Nยบ21

Proving that they know all the news and everything that happens in the world of fashion, this monday Stardoll launched a mini Balenciaga tribute under the Active store tag. I think that they as company must have a back up plan for when things like those happen, but they couldn't pick a better time for bringing new items from this brand to game.


But anyways... I, personally, don't like Active and I think many other players feel the same as well. And with ugly items as these is clear why this brand isn't a success among us. And I can also point that the boots have zero coherence with the other items here, so I have nothing much to comment, but I'll be happy to see what you have to say about it.

Now, for wednesday they gave us a real release, a new Pretty 'n Love, with few items, I know, but still, they look pretty, cohesive, beautiful... A perfect collection I will say. ๐Ÿ’–


My favourite items from the release are the   Ozlana set, I wish they had included the boots, beret, bag and fishnets as well... Hope they can give us more items from Ozlana any time soon, maybe a tribute next season! What do you think about it?

As we already entered in december, it's time for one of the best seasons in stardoll: the holiday calendar time! ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿป


If you revealed the first one you already noticed that this year the prices are a lil bit salty... But I hope they can release some cheap stuff and also some for starcoins.
Also it would be great if they had asked us again on instagram for inspiration items for the christmas decor, like they did last year, I was very happy that they choosed two of the Grinch decor items I sent them and I wanted to do it again this year, with a different idea ofc.
I won't be posting the calendar items here because the main point of it is the surprise ๐ŸŽ

For this friday, they choose to release a Spectacular collection. 


The glasses aren't a big deal but there are two for starcoins, so it's a chance for you spend some if you have a lot of them... The items aren't out in catalog yet, so I can't say if they have a suite version, as they have in the tag a BP I assume they must have another version as well, I will updated the post as soon as I have more info about these.
