RESORT 2015 (UPDATE)

some of you may remember this post and as i had so much fun making it i decided i will do another one like this for the newest RESORT season. but instead of three looks per collection i only chosen one (was a bit less time consuming ... yeah lazy me). so prepair yourself for my most favourite looks from this years resort collections

attention this is a super long real life fashion post so if you are here for some smart SD fashion releated posts feel free to scip this one.  

don't get me wrong i really like fashion week and haute couture but what makes the resort collections so convenient for this blog is the fact that their always presented in a more photo friendly way, means a ready to wear collection should be watched on youtube (video) or if you're lucky enough live in paris, new york or miland but a resort collection is mostly presented in a editorial kind of style. i hope this makes sence to you somehow. however lets stop explaining and start looking at the beautiful clothes i want to show you guys are you ready?

yes only one look per collection but instead i increased the number of different lables, those are almost all of my favourite fashion houses (a few are missing because not every lable presents a resort collection) and i left out the big names to give you some examples you may not have already seen somewhere else. like i explained on my last resort post non of these clothes are avalible in a SD version and most likely they will never be (because SD seems to ignore resort collections most of the time) but they can still be used as a sort of inspiration. i for one are delighted by the color combinations and the way the looks are styled and will try to transform those ideas into my medolls style. that keeps my mind open and prevents me from using the same items over and over again.

the above photos are just a small range of the new resort collections. if you interested feel free to look HERE for more wonderful fashion and lots of inspiration.

Why I Love Dior

tribute season has long started (actually the first stores have already been closed again) thats why i thought i took this last chance to write about this years summer tribute stores and to make it a bit more interesting i made it more into a little love letter to a certain fashion house than review of SDs DIOR tribute store.

 

Dior is a fashion house which not only created a look of the past but still belongs to the most important fashion houses in the world. its name stands for elgeant quality and pure feminin beauty. CHRISTIAN DIOR took the scene by storm because he understood that it was time to change how women where dressing. he had his breaktrough in the late 1940s a time which still smelled like war.  he had the guts to take a step in a new direction, and demonstrated his believe in a bright future. he was the creator of the "new look" which means that he concentrated on a new shape for womanswear creating a so called sandclock silhouette. 

 

 

now that i told you a bit about the house of dior you already know some of the reasons why i love it.

another reason is RAF SIMIONS a belgian fashion designer who took the lead after JOHN GALLIANO left (because of this really ugly incident). raf simions, who before he came to dior did wonderful things at JIL SANDER lead dior into a different kind of direction than galliano did. he moved away from the dreamy fantasy world and placed diors style in a more sophisticated modern-art-world. another big change for the lable but just as christian diors bravery so many years ago lead to a deserved succsess so did the decision to choose simions as a new creativ director.

but now on to the SD version of dior. SD oriented its tribute collection at diors 2014 spring haute couture collection. a collection mostly dominated by black and white, light and slightly see through fabrics. a style SD followed with their digital version of the collection. however the only real crtitc i have is how SD handled the few colors that did come up in the original collection. simions used some mint and pastel tones to underline the lightness of his gowns. colors that reminded you of fresh air, clouds and wide skies. SD decided to use … pink … yeah pink! this color issue is so old and i have complained about it so many times i'm just sick of it. so i decided to just ignore those pink nightmares and concentrate on the other items. 

 

 

those are the things i decided would be a great addition to my medolls wardrobe. i really liked the white dresses looking like floating clouds and even though they are inspired by a haute couture collection i still think they are extremly wearable. 

dior is timeless, elegant, modern and sophisticated fashion and thats what makes the lable so important for the fashion scene and since raf simions has taken over dior also made his way back into my heart, his clean yet playfull way of shaping the present impression of a traditional fahsion house just makes him a more than talented fashion designer and is the reason why … i love dior.

Mcqueen Inspired Hairstyle (UPDATE)

a few weeks ago, SD launched a new collection of TRESS UP and one hairstyle really cought my eye right from the start.

it is a strict but yet relaxed kind of hairstyle. the only bad thing about it is when you combine it with the wrong look it can make your doll look like a 15 year old girl. but besides this it's just a dreamy lovely hair cut which i love.

recently i had time to look through the latest resort collections of this season and while i drifted from one perfect collection to another i also took a look at the ALEXANDER MCQUEEN resort 2015 collection (of course).

 

can you see it? yeah this hairstyle mcqueen is showing looks an awful lot like the SD hairstyle. of course this is just a happy little coincidence but i really smiled when i realised the simularity and i thought that i share my joy with you guys (hihi). sadly the SD hairstyle is no longer avalible in the plaza but if you missed out on it and really want to have it i think it is not that hard to recreate it with stardesign hair.  

UPDATE

two of my wonderful readers have informed me that the mantioned hairstyle is still avalible. you can find it at otherworld and not (like i thought) at tress up so there is still an chance for you to get your hands on it.

if you're interested feel free to click on the picture above and take a look at the complete ALEXANDER MCQUEEN resort 2015 collection i promise it is worth a peek.

LE Spring 2014

so yesterday the plaza got hit by a new LE collection, which took me totaly by suprise (when you didn't check USD for two days .... really everytime) but i was lucky and when i logged in, the collection just got released so i could pick all the items i really liked (had to choose quickly) and bought not to much. i mean you all know these typical LE situations where you panic and buy way to much ending up hating most of the pieces you bought (but hey you still can resell those later on).

so normaly if i manage to get a hold on a LE collection i post a little hole but due to the fact that i just released two posts i will keep this one short, and only show you two special pieces i bought and if you'recurious about the other stuff i purchased feel free to look in my medolls wardrobe.

so why are these two pieces special? some of you may even think they're not really the best pieces of this LE collection. the reason why i bouht them is they're inspired by ALEXANDER WANGS spring 2014 ready to wear collection. i think you can combine both the dress and the top with other pieces and create a really cool alexander wang inspired look. 

 

i think this is the original version of the LE dress.

 and this seems to be the original version of the LE sweater top.

some more wonderfull looks from this awsome collection. ALEXANDER WANG is already one of the brightest young designers and if you like fashion or are simply interested in young fashion design alexander wang is one of the first names you should get familiar with. it's always a sign when h&m knocks on your door and wants to collabroate with you, something which just recently happend to alexander wang. 

but what are my thoughts about this LE season. i think (like every LE collection) it has it's ups and downs but you can never go wrong with buing a few pieces. this time we have some nice pastel and mint colors and if'youre into those kinds of colors this is your collection but don't get me wrong we still can find those over the top pieces which will hardly ever fit in any decent outfit but it's LE and i've come the understanding that LE is not made to fit it's made to impress just like haute couture. so buy only what you really like and set yourself a financial limit, this will keep you happy even after your LE shopping adventure.

Bazaar Treasures

recently i found two pieces from my wishlist. whishlists items are really a strange thing. mostly it takes months or ( if you're really unlucky) years to find those items as many wishlists containing the rarest of items. so i always kind of didn't wanted to put a wishlist together because it kind of provokes you to really start searching for those rare and super rare items. maybe thats why i put my wishlist in my album instead of my presentation so i don't have to look at those pieces all the time and go totally nuts because of it. a long time i didn't had the money nor the pacience to reduce my (already pretty small) whishlist. but as i said during the last weeks i was lucky and found two pieces. one i found at the bazaar for a still high but not outrageous price. the other one came to me from my dear SD friend KLADIAAA.

 

this top named top inspired by marni, is not only wonderful because of its calm and pale colors but because of its graphic shape. lately i'm really into a minimalist, pale colored  look so this shirt arrived just in time at my medolls wardrobe. 

 

 

the inspiration for the SD version of the shirt came from the 2010 fall ready to wear collection by the fashion lable MARNI 

 

the second piece is called flower printed oversized tee and was originaly released at the bonjour bizou store. i love the print, and i did once saw the original dress on a photo and SD really did a great job on this one. so i was happy to pay a bit more and get a great piece of (virtual) clothing.

so i could cross of these two items from my wishlist but there a still some items left and i thought i just show you which exactly, and if you happen to own a piece from this list and would like to sell or trade it please feel free to contact me via dolly message or write a comment in my guestbook.

 as you can see it isn't that many (:D)
