Need a Virtual Pedicure?

Stardoll have now added feet to the Beauty Parlour. Hooray you say? Look at the giant feet! Ick! I'm not one of those people that is freaked out by feet but really this is a virtual game! I am no way near as skinny as my doll so I would like my feet to look ideal also.



These are certainly realistic looking but they look wierd to me :/

The good news is you don't have to buy more nail varnish for these, any that you've bought already for fingernails are in your varnish box.



The bad news is you do have to buy seperate accessories for your nails.



The biggest blunder? No toe rings! :/

Oh and also if you have anything done to your nails you wouldn't be able to change your shoes.

So am I alone in thinking the feet are ugly? Or am I just being shallow? Let me know!

Sea of Stars - Stardoll Graphic Novel

Stardoll revealed today they will be doing a project similar to Mortal Kiss but instead of just a story it will be a graphic novel called Sea of Stars. A graphic novel is basically a fancy way of describing a comic book! So for anyone that didn't really like reading chapter after chapter of Mortal Kiss this will be a lot easier to follow and hopefully a lot more fun!

In my opinion the video revealing it is a bit... well... lame!



Are you excited by this? Or just wish Stardoll would stick to clothes? :P

Want to own a real life designer bag? Alaïa Hobo Bag

Hi everyone! I'm back with another great giveaway!



I didn't post one last month because instead of a bag they were giving a weird Khaftan thing where as with bags it's one size fits all!

So this month The Outnet is giving away this very unusual Alaïa floral-print calf-hair hobo bag. Yep. So here it is.



And If you're wondering what the hell does a floral print on calf skin look like:



Looks more like a leopard print to me but whatever it's worth like €2,020! So if you crave this or just want to sell it on ;) you've got nothing to lose by entering for a chance to win this bag. Just fill in your details at The Outnet

PS. Thanks so much to Eamonn for the beautiful graphic!

Jean Harlow Chic in Film Theory

That's right Dollies I'm back! :D I started working and kinda been learning how to manage my time properly so I'm settled in I'll be back toposting at least once a week and what a wonderful thing to start posting on again!

Stardoll today opened a new shop called "Film Theory". I get the impression this will updated just like Pop Shop. All the decor is taking direct inspiration from the 1930s film "Dinner at Eight" starring Jean Harlow.



They even recreated her outfit from the film and it is to die for!






What do you think of this new store? Are you excited to see if Stardoll do more recreations of timeless films?

Is Union Jack Fashion Coming Back?

Back in the nineties the clothing stores exploded with any piece of clothing you can imagine emblazoned with the Union Jack helped hugely by Gerri Halliwell from Spice Girls wearing this iconic dress (often called the dress of the decade)



Now after the Royal Wedding many people have restocked up on Union Jack paraphenalia. However even before this it was making a come back with Lauren Bennett wearing a Silver Union Jack leotard in the Party Rockers video.



Even though you wouldn't exactly call him a fashion trendsetter, David Hasselhoff was seen wearing a Union Jack leather jacket to celebrate his new job as judge on Britain's Got Talent.


Chanel and Alexander McQueen never really let go of the Union Jack print trend as you'll see many celebrities carrying the print on their clutches.



If you want to troop the colour there's many pieces in Starplaza for you to show your British pride or just to show appreciation. I, however, won't be seeing as I'm Irish and my poor grandfather would be rolling in his grave if he knew! :P What about you? Do you think it's coming back into fashion? Are you glad it is or just find it tacky?

New L.E. Sucks

Sorry about the title but it really really does!


I'm not even going to do a printscreen of the store because I don't want the horror saved on my laptop. It's just seriously bad graphics! It reminded me of the Monster High clothes! Seriously tacky dresses for up to 250 stardollars?! Ridiculous. I mean the theme and colours were really cool but the prices are just preposterous. Don't get me started on the bikinis. When I saw the collection I admit I died a little inside.

But now I have a thousand stardollars I had saved to spend as I please! :D

What do you think of the new L.E.? Am I wrong in thinking this is the worst one yet?

Seen Off Stardoll This Week

Sometimes Stardoll puts clothes in Starplaza that celebrities have worn and other times they can't predict who will wear their clothes in the future. This week 3 outfits by 3 seperate high profile celebrities were seen this week alone. :D

First off is Jennifer Hudson wearing this Victoria Beckham dress that isn't long gone out of Starplaza.


Beyonce is recording a new video this week and pictures keep getting leaked. I could recognize this McQueen dress from the pictures (and if I'm not mistaken the boots too!) This dress was in Starplaza last December.



Lady GaGa is in the new Harper's Bazaar magazine and I was excited to see this Dior gown that was part of the Tingeling Halloween Couture last October :D



Do you get excited when you see celebs wearing clothes you own on Stardoll? I sure do! :D

Hope you liked the post. I think I'll be doing a few like this every so often.

25% Fudge Sale and KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!

You may have noticed that there is a 25% off sale in Fudge.



It's great because there are a whopping 3 hot buys included in the sale! Not so great because I bought the bag yesterday! F@$£&*"£QFDV^$WS!!! But oh well! Tantrum over :P

If you're thinking "I can't afford anything because I bought all those 'free' items from the Perfect Day Store and got charged", don't fret! You're entitled to your money back! I was charged 153 stardollars for clothes that had been labelled as 0 stardollars so I sent a message to Stardoll and they were very quick to refund my money! Also I had got free money for making such a large purchase and they were not taken off me! So all in all I got free stuff worth 153 stardollars and 40 stardollars for the pleasure :P



Complaining got my money back and JanaStarlite so it's not just a once off for me! Calculate which items were free (look in my wardrobe room if you can't remember which ones were free) and how much was taken off you incorrectly and complain under the shop category.

Good luck!

The Dress That Keeps On Giving... To Stardoll!

So whenever you're lucky enough to stumble across a cash cow your first impulse is to milk it for all it's worth. Looks like Stardoll is indulging their impulses in the hope we will too by buying the same dress 3 times! Okay I'll give them credit by saying they're not EXACTLY the same but there are other dresses out there!




The newest addition to the Stardoll wardrobe is on the left, from the Perfect Day store, comprising of 4 parts and totaling up to 38 stardollars. When you compare it to the Hot Buys dress (the original) the quality is poor but truer to the real life version. Also the the Hot Buys dress costs 18 stardollars which is miniscule in comaparision! Then on the right you've got the petal bustier from Other World which costs 12 stardollars. So if you think about it, how many stardollars have been spent on these items? That's a lot of money for Stardoll! Shame Alexis Mabille doesn't get anything for the plagiarism of his designs!



Oh and this isn't only time Stardoll has done a rerun of an item and at poorer quality.

Perfect Day Store

So Stardoll is obviously getting excited about the upcoming nuptials between Prince William and Kate Midleton as they have released her doll and a store full of wedding fashion.






Some of the dresses don't seem to fit the "wedding vibe" like this Balmain gold dress



I'd be ready to claw the eyes out of the cow that would try to upstage my wedding dress in this! :P Just doesn't fit into the "Perfect Day" vibe - maybe perfect night out but whatever!

So I have plenty more things about this store to post but I have just got a new job!!! :D So I have to go to bed to be up early but I will post a lot more tomorrow!

So until then here's some real life photos of other items in the store including Dita Von Teese's actual wedding dress.
