HB Shoes are out!

S

The HB shoes are out, and I have a mixed opinion of them atm. I'm not sure whether to be fond of them or not...I'm not a Superstar right now, anyways, so doesn't really concern me much :P What about you? You a fan of them? I'm not too sure about the Viktor & Rolf version either...thanks to Seen on Stardoll for the real pic btw :-)

S

Bid farewell to Harry Potter...in the Stardoll way!

S

Seeing as most of you liked the idea of having a Harry Potter tribute, I thought I'd take a suggestion in the comments of doing a poll!

So, choose any character or scene from the Harry Potter series (if they're not that well known, a picture would be useful :D) and re-create! You can use sceneries, album items, suite shop...anything whatsoever. Oh, and to make it a bit more interesting, you can ALSO USE PHOTOSHOP!! :) Post the link to your entry in comments.

(This is usually against SMW rules, but I think it might be more fun and creative. All entries will be split in to categories (i.e. Sceneries, Dolls, Photoshop) for a fairer theme.

This is not a competition! Simply for fun, and to bid farewell to Harry Potter in Stardoll style!

It'll be either a poll or a best/worst dressed list. I'll see if I can get some well-known people to choose their favourites.

Deadline for them will be this Wednesday! (:

Best of luck!

xoxo

PS: A little something I made using GIMP the other day...thoughts? :P

S

Long time no post! :-)

S

Wow, it's been approximately two weeks since I last posted on here! Apologies for that. I guess I should have told you beforehand--I was off on Work Experience during those times. I thought I'd have enough time to squeeze a little time for Stardoll and this blog but apparently not :/ Anyways, I'm back (for those of you that even give a toss)! Haha x Now, I'm going to cram Hotbuys and new LE in to one post, as it's oldish news but I figured it still needs to be posted! I'll announce the HB poll winner (remember that poll?!?) tomorrow/Monday, depending on how busy I am (:

HOTBUYS:

Two hotbuys for July (Happy July, btw :D) were released during my 'absence'. The HB Earrings and the HB Dress. I love love LOVE the earrings! So cute. The dress, I think, could be quite fashionable when paired with the right items. Both Hotbuys remain Superstars only, and thanks to our Media Partner Hotbuys Addicted for the real life images!

Real version by Fashion Fringe:

LE:

So, Stardoll released a new Limited Edition collection. Trust them to release a completely gorgeous one while I'm away from Dollywood -.- Did you buy anything? I think this collection exceeds the previous "Electro-Lux" by a mile!

So..that's it..

Oh yeah:

Harry Potter's finishing!! :'(

The premiere was on Thursday and the speeches were so sad <3

Tribute post or not?

S

Alice and Olivia Tribute

S

There's an Alice and Olivia tribute in Starplaza! I love some of the pastel colours, and I think I'm in love with a couple of dresses in the last pic...it's quite reasonably priced, considering the price tags on some previous tributes. All Superstar only, obviously...

S

HB Shoes Released! Drool...

S

The HB Shoes by McQueen have been released and the real life version is absolutely GORGEOUS! ♥♥♥♥♥ I prefer the real life version if I'm honest, as I'm not sure about Stardoll's colour scheme. But what do you think? Which do you like? If you're a Superstar, will you buy it for $14sd?

Thanks to Oayes, niamh.7, red.girll and kliorivera99 for the tip [:

HB Dyed Dress is out.

S

Thanks to niamh.7, nextpingugirl and evermore1girl for the tip.

The Hotbuys Dyed dress is out and I hate it, just like the dress released a few days earlier. Sorry Stardoll. I just don't like the design of it. It is a pathetic attempt to recreate the Topshop version in my opinion. I probably won't be logging back on to Stardoll today, and probably won't edit the post either, so if Ruth is planning on doing a poll, I'm going to ask her to make a new post for the poll if required.

HB Flower Dress is out!

S

Hello SMW Readers [:

Sorry for my recent lack of posting--I have just been real busy with school. Just been logging on to check messages, tbh. Yesterday, I had an English exam. I was so happy with it as the questions were Manchester United related!! (Well, one was :D) Then I got my Manchester United top today!! Click here to see some pics :)

Anyways...on to the pixelated home of Stardoll. Thanks to anaKonda, aliciousss and niamh.7 for letting us know. The hotbuys dress is out, and I really, REALLY hate it. The design is as ugly as hell and all...Also, for something this rubbish, it's at a very hefty price of $26sd! The only thing I like is the flower-belt, and I think it would have looked better as one simple dress with the belt in the middle...the real life version as a jumpsuit looked better imo...

RL Version [originally jumpsuit] by Marc Jacobs.

Thanks Hotbuys Addicted.

PS: I know I said the hotbuys dress poll'd be up by Wed, but been so busy so I PROMISE it'll be up by Saturday :)

POLL:

Ruth's [again!] doing a poll :)

1. Create an awesome outfit.

2. Post the link in comments.

3. Ensure you're a public follower & have signed with your Blogger!!

HB Jumpsuit

S

The HB Jumpsuit is out! I honestly HATE it. I don't really know why. The watermelon's cute, I just think it's the actual bright orange that doesn't suit me. Not sure how I'd wear it, but I'm definitely sure that some people'd make it look awesome! The watermelon seeds on the pocket look weird...

Thanks Hotbuys Addicted :)

Exchange Day is back!

S

Exchange Day is back on the 15th June! (The day of my English GCSE exams...so tomorrow!) If any of you SS's want to exchange your money then make sure you log in tomorrow! I think it'd be easier if they just let you exchange it tbh!

S

New Suite Rooms!

S

There's a pretty cool feature on Stardoll now, where Superstars can buy additional rooms for their suite for a price that [in my opinion] is quite reasonable-$99sd. Considering the prices of the Beach Villa & the Penthouse, it's not bad at all. This is good news for all of you out there who like to put your rares on show, or love decorating your suites!

S

5000 Followers Raffle Winners!

S

This is from way back when when the blog reached 5000 followers. If you can remember without having to click the link, I commend you for it as this was just under 2 months ago in April!! 

The original prize was $100sd, but that's nowhere near big enough, right? So, TEN PEOPLE HAVE RECEIVED $100SD EACH!! 

So...who's won? Check it out... (Fingers crossed to all 150 odd people that entered!)

CONGRATULATIONS TO:

S

HB DRESS POLL!

S

Ruth [aka HoupIsOnFire] has kindly offered to donate the usual prize of $25sd towards the HB Dress Poll, so here's the rules:

1. Create an absolutely-fantastic-WOW-factor outfit with the dress.

2. Post a link in comments with your outfit.

3. Make sure you're a public follower of SMW.

4. Please post links with BLOGGER ID.

Due to some problems last time, it will ONLY be the first 70 people. (That's around three quarters of the amount that enter). Comments may still be open after but entries will not be counted.

Best of luck!

HB Bikini is out!

S

Thanks to Oayes, TinySash and Alice for the tip [:

So the HB Bikini is out. Going to keep it short and simple as I'm busy but just had to post! Just slightly overpriced, so no change there. SS only as usual. Quite like the colour scheme of it...

HB Flower Dress...Poll...?

S

Thanks to pip_lover_anin, Alice and Divamiley1992 for the tip (:

The HB Flower Dress is out. It's definitely got a Spring feel to it! Quite pricey at $23sd, and it's also only for Superstars. I really like the colour scheme of both the Stardoll one and the real one inspired by D&G. I prefer Stardoll's though, because I think the green works well with the other colours. What's your opinion?

Poll:

PLEASE DO NOT POST 

POLL ENTRIES JUST 

YET!

I'm not sure whether or not to do a poll, because there could be a stipulation with the prize. I can give out Starcoins, but I don't have any actual Stardollars to convert (I am no longer SS and not buying any at this moment in time) so you wouldn't be getting very many. Here's a poll...please answer HONESTLY.

A poll will then later be announced depending on the answers.

(Oh, and sorry about the big red writing. Had to make sure it stood out!!)
