the little things on nymph attire. this blog is about fashion but if we take a closer look you can see that most of the time i'm writing about clothes. don't get me wrong i love clothes and a fashion blog should be full of them but fashion isn't only dresses, trousers and shirts the little things are sometimes even more imprortant and when i'm speaking of little things i mean accessories. i am not the kind of women who put necklaces, rings and bracelets all over herself and my medoll isn't too (to be honest i am quiet lazy when it comes to accessories SHAME ON ME!) but i think its time to take a closer look at the way i use accessories for my medoll.
i am really uncreative about how to structure this post so i am going to use the good old countdown (this link is a joke ok :D) i will present 13 of my most favourite accessories plus a few things you can combine them with.
13.
+
what: fierce pink shades (42$c)
where: you can still get these wonderful shades which are based on miu miu sunglasses for their fall winter 2011 collection at the sixth floor of the decades shop in starplaza.
why: some time ago i already did a post about these glasses where i explained my love for them.
12.
+
what: miss world crown (40$c)
where: i bought it at the pretty n love shop but now you have to find it at the bazaar.
why: i know the graphic isn't good but if you look at the price it's ok (i mean a one dollar plastic tiara isn't the best quality ether but its a one dollar plastic tiara so what ...) i love it because of the name miss world tiara. miss world is a song by one of my favourite bands hole and i think you can make funny teen girl outfits with it like tavi gevinson inspired looks. if you ever find it cheap at the bazaar i would recommend you to just buy it. it's a funny little tiara so come on.
11.
+
what: plastic bangles (4 $)
where: i don't know in which SD store they have been originaly sold but i bought them in starplaza archive and now you can find them pretty easy at the bazaar.
why: it's one of my favourite bracelets, the quailty is really good and i you can wear them with almost everything. plastic bangles may sound a bit cheap but i think they're looking really edgy and high fashion and even though they are see-through you can still make them the center of the attention if you combine them with a simple and clean look using white or pale blue clothes.
10.
+
what: taupe envelope clutch (10$)
where: once you could get it at the it girl shop formerly known as stardoll shop (i hate this new name) but now you have to try your look at the bazaar.
why: first reason the color, second reason the color and third reason the color. if you are a nailpolish addict like me you recognize this color immediately because of chanels nailpolish le vernis number 505 particuliere. SD sadly does not offer a nailpolish color like this yet but this clutch does and thats why i love it. it's easy to use as it matches with most of the looks we know but i wouldn't combine it with beige colors.
9.
+
what; classic silken scarf (80$c)
where: it was avaliable at the first mortal kiss store but even i bought this scarf at the bazaar because i first relised how nice it looks after the shop was closed ... sigh.
why: i bought it because of its color and when it arrived in my suit i even recognized it is slightly see- through which makes it even cooler. i often use it for classy looks and i think it can work with preppy styles too. as most of my fave accessories this scarf is a allrounder.
8.
+
what: joker hat (many many many stardollars)
where: after two years of searching i found a girl who agreed selling it to me (i am still very grateful that she did that), if you want to buy it too i can only hope for you to not become crazy while searching for it.
7.
+
what: black camellia wrist purse (20$)
where: i bought this little and really special bag just a few days ago from the bazaar but if you weren't as stupid as i am you already bought it at the second chanel tribute store a few months ago.
why: this purse and i had a difficult relationship. when i first saw it at the chanel tribute store i didn't buy it because i thought it was useless but i started to take a closer look at the original chanel collection (which was the template for the tribute store). i realised how nice this bag could look in combination with white clothes, elgeant dresses or silk and velvet fabrics and so i decided to buy it and use it as much as i can.
6.
+
what: space vixen belt (50$c)
where: i found it at ANNE.SOFIE bazaar. she sometimes has great and big sales so if you visit her suit don't forget to check out her bazaar too. original this belt is from the fallen angel store.
why: as my medoll often wears high waist clothes its good to have various numbers of high waist belts (as you can't always use the normal belts for a highwaist outfit at SD without using a jacket too. try it you will understand what is the problem...) and this vixen belt has a great and really unusual color (ha! the color again. you got me ...) which looks awsome with an all-black outfit and as my medoll often wears black this belt is used often too.
5.
+
what: i call them the chain gang (because i don't want to write down all three names right now) (24$c each)
where: there is this new hidden store called "sofia vergara kmart collection" click
and get all those clothes in your starplaza dressing room. after you remove all these nasty and boring lookind dresses, shirts and tees you have too take a closer look and you can see three small nacklaces those are the ones you can see at the picture above.
why: of course the quality is not the best and one has a "mama" lettering pendant but as those chains are really small no one will be able to read/see what hangs around your neck. the main reason why i bought them and put them on this list is that they reminded me of the legendary carrie necklace. you can wear such small necklaces really good with the urban bohemian style just like carrie
and who does not like carries style?! so don't be ashamed just grap them and see what they can do for your medolls style.
4.
+
what: westerly headband (24$c).
where: still avaliable at the pretty n love shop.
why: simply because i love flower headbands (but don't see why i should pay 355 for the LE version) they are representing the spring, the peace movement of 1969 and happiness. i like using it with romantic dresses such as flower dresses and slightly see-through tops or shirts but i also like to use it as a contrast using a more edgy and dark look for my medoll but to be honest its the number 4. of this countdown simply because i loooooove flower headbands.
3.
+
what: aviator glasses (40$c)
where: the otto shop which magically disappeared a few months ago :( and as i can't sell these glasses in my bazaar i don't think you will find them in anywhere. sometimes SD is a little bitch!
why: because in real life i am actually a fat cop loving donuts, coffee and my fucking aviator glasses hello! just kidding ... i like them so much because of the color of the glasses and the fact that they're actually looking like aviator glasses not like those you could get or still can get (i don't know) at spectacular store in starplaza.
2.
what: silver charm bracelet (0$c yes my second favourite accessories a freebie)
where: i think i got it from this gift calender stardoll offered during the time when the second mortal kiss book was released (chapter per chapter). i don't know if you can get it at the bazaar as most of those freebies arn't sellable.
why: take a look at the why of number one.
1.
what: raven scull necklace (30 $c)
where: it's from the fallen angel store. these days you have to search for it at the bazaar but it isn't that hard to find.
why: the last two items i haven't choosen by look, graphic-quality and so on.
those are the two things which have some kind of a personal importance for
me (if you can say this about virtual pixel things). the silver bracelet (number 2.)
is standing for the one i am always wearing in realife which my mother
gave to me (just like my medoll having tattoos like i have tattos not
the same but you know what i mean)) and the raven necklace stands for my personal mantra memento mori. i use these items to make my medoll a
bit more genuine so she doesn't look like every other doll which is why
you should use special accessories too. you don't find them fast you have to search for them and maybe it is a expensive LE accessorie or cheap special offer accessorie, who cares as long as those things reminds you of a special necklace or bracelet or some other symbol which is important to you outside of stardoll.
again this was more work than i thought it would be but i hope it was worth it. i know alot of these accessories are no longer avaliable but i don't want to be this post to turn out as a shopping guide. i wanted to show you what kind of accessories i am using. as i said at the beginning i am really lazy using accessories thats why i don't use many. the accessoriesi buy have to be (firstly) allrounder meaning they have to be wearable with more than just one special pullover and (secondly) they should be an eyecatcher and i'm not speacking of neon color eyecatching. it's the shape or a pale but special color who should be attention-getting. i hope you understand what i'm trying to say less is more.
stay edgy
