New LE Fall 2010 Store!

Everything started with EXCLUSIVE NEWS from Stardoll Royalty club, LE NEWS!

The brand new collection of LIMITED EDITION has arrived and milions of Stardoll Members had been waiting for this amazing season of the year. The collection is absolutely fabulous and it is totally different from the others previous collections of LE; brocade cycling shorts, pleated kilt-cum-belts, army-pocketed jackets, neon and nude camouflage slipdresses, and LV-stamped ombré-dyed denim looks with fringed edges.

Firstly, when we see the collection, we think about groves, forests and warm colours. Have you noticed that these warm colours are all from the Atumn season? Brown, violet, grey, etc.. And let's not forget that this was the very first time ever that LE used the complexity of the "fur" ideia. And we can see that by the Louis Vuitton Fur keychans and the phenomenal and sophisticated high knee boots.

The animal attitude and discipline of this LE collection rules over all other StarPlaza brands. These unique pieces make all LE addicted completely crazy; when we look at them we just want to buy all of them so badly! From head to toes, all the outfits we can see in the store are just fabulous. The originality of the collection makes any girl looking like the DIVA OF THE SEASON.

What I love about the concept of the ideia of LE, is wearing designer labels clothes. Here we have Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, and many others. Stardoll made an incredible well done job on the recreations of these clothes! I must admit it, we have here tons of must have pieces. The socks, the shorts, the scarves, almost everything! I'm telling you fashionistas, you will look stunning with this brand new collection of LE.

Once again, Stardoll impressed us with the exquisite and unique, LIMITED EDITION store. Now, see below the real pics from the catwalk shows:

I couldn't be more excited about this. I have no words to describe the beauty and the beautiful ideia of the "party animal" nature in this collection, it represents a big strengh and personality for a women's body. Don't you think this collection was so uprising and natural?

Women's Denim Shorts - Summer & Autumn 2010 Essential

Cut-Offs For This Season and Next


For those of you who are lucky enough to still have their summer holiday to look forward to this month I thought I would remind you that there is definitely an essential purchase you should not forget to pack... your denim shorts! What is that you say... You haven't got a pair? Well now is time to invest sister! This year, denim has made a MASSIVE comeback in women's fashion. Already in 2010 I have featured a whole variety of denim trends, such as the double denim look, denim jackets, denim shirts, acid wash denim, denim effect jeggins/leggins, torn/destroyed denim and so many more. It has definitely been revitalised and now I'm going to showcase the latest take in the revolution.

Denim shorts have generally always been a stapple piece for our summer wardrobe here at Stardoll's Women Fashion Blog, but this year the variety has gone through the roof. There are multiple shades instead of the standard blue stone wash; with greys and blacks adding a modern take and slightly more chic look to your summer wardrobe. We can also find waisted cuts, pleated chambray/cotton effect varieties, destroyed detailing such as rips/frayed edges (building on the very popular jeans style early this year) and also a huge amount of detailing with everything from studs to gold buttons added to create unique pieces.

This Season

Obviously if you are looking for a pair of denim shorts to take on your summer holidays I recommend picking up a pair of light blue stone wash or white denim shorts. They both match nearly every item in your wardrobe, do not attract heat and make you feel uncomfortable in hot climates and they both perfectly hit that nautical or French Riviera look which is massive this Spring/Summer. Pair with your bikini underneath for a day at the beach or dress it up with a shirt or sexy top and gladiators for a night out.

Into Autumn

Just because the sun stops shining, it doesn't mean you can't still wear your shorts. You just have to pick how and when you break them out and accompany them with different surrounding pieces. I LOVE the darker shades for the cooler months such as grey, indigo and black tones. There is going to be a move back to simple minimalist style this Autumn/Winter, with classic timeless colours and not as much fuss. So you can pair these shorts with sharp white shirts and tailored blazers. Remeber to add some leggins underneath to battle the colder temperatures and you have a classic and chic city look which can work just as well at night as it does in the day.

Get The Look - Sex and The City

THE SEX AND THE CITY EFFECT

When I sat down to watch the trailer for the much awaited second instalment of Sex and The City, I was blown away and if I may say s-excited! The foursome of Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nyxon breathe a whole new life into the characters Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha and Miranda as they travel to exotic Dubai to spice up what have become stressful and mundane lives.

The first movie had 300 costume changes in 148 minutes - that's two costume changes every minute! So who knows what's in store for us in this amazing movie, and I'm starting to worry that Patricia Fields' brilliant styling will leave me wanting more. Now that we all know that the fashion is going to be fantastic and fabulous, so what we really want to know how to make these gorgeous outfits work for us. So here's a rundown of each character's style and some key pieces to pull off their look!

Carrie Bradshaw

If Parisian chic and romanticism had a love child, it would be Carrie's style. The fashion heroine of the twentieth-century, Carrie's style is the definition of Fashion. You can find haute couture pieces, kitschy vintage frocks and modern everyday wear stashed in her wardrobe, all just next to her famous Blahniks. Carrie's style is eclectic, quirky and very fashion forward, so inject bold colours, statement pieces and jewellery into your wardrobe. Don't forget a matching pair of stilettos to go with your outfit - Carrie doesn't wear anything else on her feet!

Samantha Jones

Samantha's high-flying job demands outfits that are appropriate yet fashionable. So she chooses body-accentuating suits in bold colours which matching heels and bags. But come night time, she dons sexy standout ensembles that show off her svelte figure and personality. If you don't want to invest in two separate day-and-night wardrobes, choose sleekpants, draped tops, and tailored wrap dresses that is both appropriate for work and that dinner time.

Charlotte York

Charlotte's wardrobe consists of pieces that are classic and reflect her feminine charm. Appreciate her style by choosing pastel pieces, blouses and skirts coordinated with timeless accessories like diamond earrings or a pearl necklace. Try choosing pieces with elegant shapes like shift dresses, pencil skirts and peacoats. Infuse delicate details like lace, ruffles, bows or embroidery to simple outfits to bring out your girlish side!

Miranda Hobbes

Miranda chooses smart classic business attire like skirt, suits and trousers for her daytime lawyerly look but always manages to look fashionable and chic with subtle touches, large and structured bags, statement blouses and practical yet stylish heels. Thought she tends toward casual and athletic wear on her days off, you can count on her to spice up her look with sexy slip dresses with geometric designs and funky accessories, such as chunky bangles and jewelled necklaces.

Women's Crochet Fashion Trend

Slimline Your Knitwear

Everyone is wearing Crochet this season, especially celebrities such as Khloe Kardashian and Jameela Jamil. This is probably thanks to designers such as Diane Von Furstenberg, Chanel, Pucci, Rodarte, Nicole Ritchie (Winter Kate) and Bec and Bridge, for putting Crochet on their recent catwalks. It shouldn't come as a surprise really; Crochet was bound to make an appearence soon after lace and knit wear took over the style waves last A/W. You could say Crochet is less daring, less revealing older sister to lace but the younger, slimmer sister to knit wear - which makes it perfect for this in-between 'not sure about going out in just this vest top weather'.

Those with the less focused fashion eye could easily confuse all three as the same thing, but the truth is they are all worn in different ways. There aren't too many rules to apply when wearing crochet but the best way is to keep it simple. It's more often worn as casual day time wear, although on occasion a crochet dress worn with heels and accessorised appropriately can be worn for the evening. Some of the easier items to wear include handbags, headbands, scarves, jewellery, waistcoats and not forgetting Ugg boots (makes winter worthwile) - which are all good pieces to just throw on to complete a simple outfit.

A crochet bikini is the perfect thing to lay beside the pool in this summer and can also be worn as a bodice, teamed with a pair of shorts (denim or otherwise). When wearing crochet waistcoats it is important not to wear it with a top that has any layering, frills or other conflicting fabrics on it. Keep the rest of the outfit uncomplicated. Also try to keep it tune with the feel of crochet, for example do not wear your nice cream crochet dress with your pink Nike hi-tops. Try to stay away from crochet flat pumps - that is of course unless you are a trendy ninety-nine year old. And do not team an oversized crochet jumper with odd looking baggy trousers and your gym trainers, because well, to put it simply, you'll be mistaken for a homeless person.

So, if you found lace a bit perilous to wear and thought knit wear was too frumpy, get inspired by a look I made with my doll and let the fashionista inside you take care of the work!

The Dream & Christina Milian Are OVER!!!

The dream and Christina Milan

Well its been confirmed that the marriage between producer The Dream and Christina Milian is officially OVER!!! This was pretty evident since they haven’t been seen together in months. The Dream’s rep confirmed the split with US Weekly saying:

Terius ‘The-Dream’ Nash is saddened to announce that his marriage to Christina Milian was unsuccessful. The couple reached this decision in late 2009, but decided to keep the news private in efforts to protect their baby daughter Violet. They ask for consideration and respect for their family moving forward.

The Dream and his Personal Assistant (assisting him.... lol )

The split confirmation comes as racy photos surface of The-Dream and his assistant of about a year, Melissa Santiago, frolicking in the Caribbean. The producer and singer (who released his third album, Love King, on June 29), 32, proposed to Milian, 28, in July 2009 with a six-carat diamond ring from Ivanka Trump’s jewelry line. The couple eloped last September in Las Vegas, and said “I Do” a second time in Rome in December. They welcomed daughter Violet five months ago.

Christina and Violet.

Christina Milian and baby Violet are doing just fine as mother and daughter (seen below) were spotted hanging out in L.A. over the weekend.

The Most Incredible Hair you've NEVER Seen - Ruslana Korshunova

I saw this on http://dumage.com and wanted to share it with my readers.

When I saw these pictures for the first time, I was delighted. I found out that her name is Ruslana Korshunova and that she was supermodel. Unfortunately I found out what happened to this 20 years old girl from Kazakhstan – she took her life on June 28, 2008. These photos are from 2006 when she was only 19. So sadly, she is beautiful…

Here what we found about her on Wikipedia:

Ruslana Sergeyevna Korshunova (July 2, 1987 – June 28, 2008) was a Kazakh model of Russian descent. After establishing herself as a rising figure in the fashion industry by posing for magazines like Vogue and designers such as Vera Wang and Nina Ricci, Korshunova’s mysterious death after falling off her Manhattan apartment’s balcony on June 28, 2008 became the subject of international attention.

Early life and career

Ruslana Korshunova was born in Taldykorgan, Alma-Ata, Kazakh SSR, and was of Russian descent. Her father, Sergey Korshunov, died in 1992 when she was 5 years old. Her mother, Valentina (née Kutenkova) and her brother, Ruslan, live in Kazakhstan. She spoke fluent Russian, English and German.

She was discovered in 2003, when All Asia magazine printed a story on Almaty’s local German language club, which Korshunova was then attending. Her photograph, which was featured in the article, caught the attention of Debbie Jones of Models 1; Jones tracked down and signed up the then 15-year-old Korshunova, who was nicknamed the Russian Rapunzel for her long knee length chestnut hair in her early work. Korshunova was represented by IMG (New York, Paris, London and Milan), Beatrice (Milan), Traffic Models (Barcelona), Marilyn Models and iCasting Moscow, which was her mother agency. British Vogue hailed Korshunova as “a face to be excited about” in 2005. Korshunova modeled for the covers of French Elle and the Polish and Russian versions of Vogue. She also modeled in print-ads for Blugirl by Blumarine, Clarins, Ghost, Girbaud, Kenzo Accessories, Marithé & François, Max Studio, Moschino, Old England, Pantene Always Smooth, Paul Smith, and Vera Wang lingerie. She also appeared in a perfume commercial for Nina by Nina Ricci.

Death

On June 28, 2008 at around 2:30 p.m., Korshunova died after falling from the ninth-floor balcony of her apartment at 130 Water Street in Manhattan’s Financial District. Police stated there were no signs of a struggle in her apartment and concluded that Korshunova’s death was an apparent suicide, although no suicide note was found. One of Korshunova’s friends stated that she had just returned from a modeling gig in Paris, noting that she seemed to be “on top of the world” with no apparent reason why she would commit suicide. Korshunova planned to celebrate her 21st birthday on Wednesday in Pennsylvania. Korshunova’s former boyfriend, Artem Perchenok, stated that he dropped Korshunova off at her apartment several hours before her death after they watched the Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore film Ghost together. “I feel that she came to say goodbye,” said Perchenok. “She was a good person,” he added to The New York Post. However, Korshunova appeared brokenhearted and angry in some of her postings on a social networking site. Korshunova’s most telling message came in March 2008: “I’m so lost. Will I ever find myself?”. Friends said Korshunova had a stomachache before her death, a small complaint, but in this high-pressure world, “one little knot is the book on the shelf that makes it go down,” he said. Police said that only some prescription pill bottles were found in her apartment with Russian labels. Experts did not find traces of someone else’s skin underneath her nails. Korshunova’s mother, Valentina Kutenkova does not believe in her daughter’s suicide. “She told me about her work problems about a year ago. She said that she wanted to quit the modeling business. Everything was fine with her recently though. If she had had problems at work, she would have told me,” she said. Korshunova was close with her mother, who still lives in the Kazakh city of Almaty, where the model grew up. According to the official version, Ruslana cut the nylon net covering the façade during construction works.

After that the model allegedly climbed through the hole and jumped down. Korshunova’s mutilated body was found on the dividing strip on Water Street. To get to that part of the road from the balcony, Ruslana would have to have made a running jump. Judging by the placement of the body, the jump would have to be made from the next building. The model’s mother demanded additional investigation, but the police were not willing to show initiative. Muhammad Naqib, an old concierge who worked in Korshunova’s building shed some light on the model’s death. “I was shocked when I saw her on the pavement. She was on the road, small and pitiful, in a puddle of blood, surrounded by a crowd. Her arms and neck were broken,” the man said. Muhammad was immediately suspicious. “Only next day I realized what was wrong. It was her hair! It was much shorter than when I last saw her that night, lively and happy. It seemed like it was cut in a hurry since the ends were uneven.” “All I got is a polite ‘thank you.’ But nobody called me for an interview,” said Moscow autopsist Sergey who worked on her makeup in a Moscow morgue. “The hair could fall out because of a strong impact, but it could not become shorter. When I was preparing the body for a funeral, I noticed that the hair was in a very poor condition. I even offered to find her a wig, but her relatives refused. The ends were uneven, as if someone had cut it with scissors.” According to the testimony of many witnesses, no strangers or suspicious people were noticed on the day of Ruslana’s death in her building on Water Street. The back exit in the yard is visible to the concierge, and nobody could pass by the reception unnoticed. During her last visit, Korshunova’s mother stopped by the apartment. According to Ruslana’s friends, Valentina spent several hours at the door of the apartment. She is still hoping to find the answer from American police. 

On July 7, 2008, Korshunova was buried at Khovanskoye Cemetery in Moscow. Her mother stated to Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda that the Russian capital was one of her daughter’s favorite cities, and that “She would want her beloved Moscow to be her last resting place.”
