Trend Watch: Hair

Trend Watch
Hair
The hair trend was very definite, and solely inspired by Stardoll user Lusciious.x (owner of the magazine, Monamour.). Today, everyone followed her lead, from the attitude-filled Sudanese.Beauty (who also copied Monamour.'s dress) to the gorgeous Mixie*pixie, everyone wore this braided hairstyle. Here I've showcased just a few, but there were several more on the day.
I wonder how Lusciious.x feels about this, because she's always said she despises copiers. We'll have to wait and see...

AwardsCeremony: Elegance and Innocence

AwardsCeremony
Elegance and Innocence
I'm loving this gown by House of Dereon, last seen on R & B star Beyonce Knowles, and actually created by Beyonce's mother, Tina. It compliments her figure, tough to do in a dress, and she pairs it with gorgeous Voile gloves, diamond earrings and a knotted string of pearls, classic, elegant and chic. Love it! The divine pattern brings a touch of intricacy to the dress, whilst the colour is innocence itself. Loving this look, congratulations, AwardsCeremony!

AWARDS FASHION

For the next week (wow, long time, eh?) I'll be focusing only on the Awards fashion, so feel free to make any beauty blunders in that time and I won't report you. Go ahead, but when the week is over? Your style is fair game...

Style_Magazine: The Attack of the Dyed Ostrich

Style_Magazine
The Attack of the Dyed Ostrich
When I first saw this tragedy of an ensemble, I had to laugh out loud. It seriously did look like a dyed ostrich had attacked her. Now, I know that sounds random, but not as random as her outfit. Like, hello? I thought monstrosities like this went out when they invented cotton mix, but no, Style_Magazine is keen for a revival. Now, I was just looking around when I thought I'd stop at her page because, despite the previous post I wrote about her (Style_Magazine: Am I dreaming?), I think she has a generally good style. Not so, apparently. So, I saw this ensemble, cracked up, and now I'm writing about it. Basically I think it's the ostrich monstrosity that ruins this outfit, plus the fact that she's wearing that hideous turtle-neck that she is always wearing (you'd think she had no other clothes). Another thing that makes this outfit a disaster is Style_Magazine's signature layering trick. Now, I know that layering looks good in some cases, but on Style_Magazine it just never seems to work. So, what I'd do, is peel off the ostrich and stick it where it should be, around your waist, then I'd take away that turtleneck (and burn it) and last, but not least, I'd get rid of those deformed shoes. But, seriously, Style_Magazine: 3 strikes and you're out, and you've already been on my bad list twice.

Sudanese.Beauty: A Morbid Disaster

Sudanese.Beauty
A Morbid Disaster
This depressed ensemble reminds me of a bad day at the Morgue, or even just the funeral parlour. Like, for a self-proclaimed fashion addict you're doing a really good job of embarrassing yourself. This outfit? Yuck! It's too... dull and the coat definitely does not go. Can't you see that Sudanese.Beauty? I mean, taking a look at her closet makes me a little teary eyed, because the clothes in there are so gorgeous! So, with all that choice, you think she'd be able to compile something at least wearable, but no. She compiles this fashion disaster. Poor, poor Sudanese.Beauty. Now, how to fix this? Add a little colour! Now, I know that sounds hard given it's a mono-chromatic colour scheme, but, hey, a dash of white will liven up this outfit of mourning, as you can see in my version (below). Plus, loose the coat. It may look good in real life, but the Stardoll version of this DKNY classic isn't too pretty, so don't wear it. Instead, opt for a shearling coat, like the one I've paired it with. Plus, add a scarf for some texture and, voila, you've got yourself an outfit worthy of my good list! Unfortunately, I compiled it, and your outfit is the sorry excuse on top.

Lusciious.x: Modern Class

Modern Class
Can a girl get any classier than this beautiful ensemble? Lusciious.x's favourite piece, the HotBuys sequin tank, comes out again, with a twist. This time she pairs it with a Soho style waistcoat, gorgeous DKNY sequinned bag and a DKNY red detail hat, which carries on her exotic oriental theme. Paired with skinny jeans and white-hot boots, this look is modern, yet classy, and a must for all fashionistas! Ooh, and I'm loving the little diamond earrings and that gorgeous Heidi Klum necklace she's wearing, too! The only thing I think she needs is a long, draper necklace to give it a true Soho feel, but for classy modern, this look is just fine!

Runway.Fashion: Star Awards Exclusive

Star Awards Exclusive
Well, guess what I managed to pry from the secretive Runway.Fashion? An exclusive on what she'll be wearing to the Star Awards, that's what! Now, of course she's too Elite to give me the full details, but I did manage, after a lot of coaxing and examples, to get a brief description of the look she's going for. Read it below:

Ok. I guess i can do that.

I want my look to be glamorous, i want to make a big mark at the red carpet event. I have picked out a perfect outfit with amazing accessories and the outfit is put together like no one else will have so i think it will be a pleasant surprise for everyone. I am very excited to see what everyone else is wearing but i think my outfit will definitely be a stand-out.

And, don't worry, I'll be getting many more exclusives very shortly and, remember, this is you site for all the fashion for Gala events, so check back daily!
