Spelling mistakes.....

I would like to apologize from all of you for my spelling mistakes,and I'll try in the future to make a better use of my English,and use more the spellchecking! Actually,English is not my main language,i only speak it here on stardoll,i normally speak french,and i only started learning english in high school,and what english could i learn in school,when my classmates(and i) were completely careless about the grammar and vocabulary,the only thing we wanted is to have good grades and then we forgot everything we learned. and also excuse me for sometimes using french words as magnifique or spanish as perfecto,and that could be considered by some ignorant as a spelling mistake.

Vivienne Tam. New Collection!

The new collection of Vivienne Tam was finally released! I'm so excited and it looks fabulous apart from some items (including the boots, but after thinking a while,it looks good especially the wine ones)

The dresses are as always magnifique! I'm still not sure what i'll be buying! At the moment my favourites are the satin strapless dress (black), the quilted nylon dress,and the purple wool flower silk! What are yours?

I simply adore it! This collection is fantastic!Do you hear those names they're so beautiful and gives a feeling of elegance! Perfecto! I wished there were some bags, don't you?

I'm wondering how will the new DKNY's collection will look?

I will be also doing a post about Vivienne Tam's new collection best dressed on the blog this week! So if you made an outfit including a VT dress, tell me in a comment below or contact me on stardoll so i can see if it's worth a best dressed!

Exclusive Interview With Isabella.Arci

Hello Isabella. You Are A Style Icon On Stardoll And Most Defiantly A Trendsetter. Is There Any Person/Thing That Inspires You To Create Outfits Or Is It Your Own Creativity ?

HI Marie! Thank you for the generous compliments! I must've done something really good to deserve this, no?There are a lot of things that inspire me. The 5am sunrise, a sudden gush of infatuation, a resounding beat from myiPod. It could be just anything, but it all boils down to emotions. I think it is how I respond to a certain aesthetic that inspires my mood, how I create & why I do such.

Your outfits are always briliantly created. I don't think anyone has seen you in a plain outfit, you always make your outfits so exciting. You are very well known for your amazing layering skills. How do you know what to layer and how do you make it look so good?

When I first started here in Stardoll, everything was very basic yet interesting. And putting a simple shirt with aprinted skirt just seemed so plain for me. So I experimented on layering on multiple printed skirts & voila! It seemed like a a whole piece! It started from there until I began trying with solid colours on different patterns.The tricky part there is, the end result should look seamless. The layering shouldn't be too obvious so that the dress would look like it was originally made as a single dress.There are many factors to consider when layering. Colours should complement each other, prints should match & eventhe quality of the virtual dress should at least strike closely to the other layers you want to stitch into. Yes, it is a tedious process but it is very overwhelming in the end! I find myself trying out a gazillion combinations before I even get satisfied. This entire experience is one of the many things that makes my playinghere at Stardoll truly rewarding.

It sounds like you put alot of work into your outfits on stardoll. In reality what kind of clothes do you wear andwhat would you call your style?

Ah, very diverse when it comes to clothes. There would be times that I'd be in just jeans & a shirt. On other days, skirts. If I see something I like, I buy it. I really don't care if it is branded or not. For as long as the quality & the cut are potentially wearable & girly, I have to HAVE IT! Haha! Am just a simple girl who likes beautiful things. It's a different story with shoes, accessories, jewelries & leather goods. Those I really value & save up for. I only buy the classic designs & patterns like the LV Monogram, Gucci green & red stripes with the beige/ebony GG & Prada Logo Jacquard . And of course, Paul Smith's classic swirl. If it isn't my birthday, it takes time to save up for a piece that I have set my eyes on but owning it is all worth the wait. It's a true test of patience! Haha. Reason why I collect these is because they never ever go out of style. And like wine, they are better through time!Jewelries are mostly gifts from parents. Bulgari & Tiffany. And they had all of them engraved with my initials on it. I really treasure these because it will become an heirloom someday which I will pass it on when I have a daughter.Trivia: I smell the leather before I buy it & I clean my jewelry every night before I go to sleep.

It sounds like you are very fashionable. We now know all about your style, tell us abit about your past times and hobbies.

I've been told that I was already doodling at age 2. I spend a lot of time making sketches & painting. I am also inclined to designing interiors. yes, I'm a frustrated interior designer, so I guess that will be my next endeavor after I finish my internship here in New York.I also love to experiment with cuisine. Haute cuisine & plating. I always try to challenge myself with an assortment of spices & wild ingredients, how they would complement each other & how they would be presented well on a plate. It's all about design, I believe. Be it interiors, cuisine plating or simply dressing up, I just find satisfaction in designing.I also love to sing. Growing up with musically inclined parents have somehow influenced me to love music. Cheesy as it may seem, but my friends & I would belt out songs for hours in a videoke machine! Haha! Sooo much fun!

You say you live in New York. What is the city life like? What do you like about it and what do you dislike about it?

I am currently based in New York since this is where I've chosen to do my internship. The city life is busy. Extremely chaotic! Everybody seems to be stressed with their daily routines. Don't get me wrong, I HEART NY because of all the sights to see, the diversity of people & the excitement of just being trained here by most of the top chefs is inexplainable.BUT! I'd rather have a simple life in Manila where everything is laid back, stress-free & the sunsets are always breath-taking.

Manila sounds like a beautiful place. Do you plan to move back to Manila after your internship? And what are your plans for the future?

My goal is building up my Curriculum Vitae. I am planning to gain more experience with the best mentors who are selflessly sharing their vast knowledge of the industry.While I am still young & healthy, I want to accomplish things that I've set my goals on. Haha, I may sound nerdy but I just have a strong focus on my priorities with my moral fibers still intact.I don't take my education for granted. When fame, fortune & friends are taken away from you, you still have your brains to count on. And no one can ever take that away from anybody. That is your strongest ammunition AND the best gift that any parent can impart to any child.I miss Manila! Definitely, I will be going back to Manila after this internship before I start cooking again. I badly need a break! And a gorgeous tan!

You defiantly have a bright future ahead of you Isabella! If there was one thing you wanted everyone to know about you, what would it be?

I just want everybody to know me very well before tossing out judgments because some of the things being said about me are either over-hyped, fabricated or just plain false.In this virtual website such as Stardoll, there is still a human being behind every MeDoll who has emotions. We all get affected by comments thrown to us especially if they attack us on a personal level. On the other hand, we all get overwhelmed if people regard us in a very positive manner. I am just like any other girl who finds joy in dressing up my MeDoll, remixing furniture pieces in my suite, exchanging a sensible conversation with really good friends & enjoying just about anything that Stardoll has to offer.Stardoll is a FAB site! Let's keep it that way.

Yes! To finish off this interview I have 2 simple but meaningful questions to ask. Who is your role model and why? Also what is your favourite thing about stardoll and why?

Charlie’s Angels hands down! Old & new. In a male-dominated world, these 3 heroines were showcased as being more than just lovely decorations on television. These women had fierce personalities, were incredibly witty & intelligent, physically fit & strong, & of course, extremely beautiful. And could kick ass without breaking into a sweat! Where can you see anyone solve crime with just a mere wink or a flip of the hair?I love how a simple way of dressing a MeDoll or putting on make-up can bring endless happiness to any little girl. And whatever age we may be, be it 13 or 30, we still have this inner child inside of us. And Stardoll keeps that alive in all of us.

Thank You Isabella For The Interview And We Will Chat To You Very Soon :)

This is one of the most interesting interviews I had! Truly, I am honoured to have done this with you! I am a big fan of your blog, Stardoll Trendsetters & I wish you all the best!

During this fun filled interview with the lovely Isabella i got to know her even more. Isabella is such a sweet girl with great talent. She is also very supportive and is such a loyal friend. She knows what is what when it comes to the things she loves. Isabella is a one of a kind girl with an extremely friendly personality. It is defiantly worth while getting to know a girl like Isabella!

New looks for you!!

Here are some new looks for you. I just want to tell you that since this blog was created i have spent more time in the Sephora make-up section than all the period of my stardoll membership! Haha. Today i created two contrasted and opposed looks which are Fire and Ice. Let's start with the first:

-Warm and apealing glance:

1)apply the brown eyepencil,on the contour of the eye except the interior side,then Mascara Black and Mascara Volume black(only on the uper eye lash)

2)display the white eyepencil and white eyeshadow on the interior area of the eye,and some brown eyeliner

3)combine the jumbo eyepencil Flesh and Beige to get a brownish tone !

and Tada!!it really suits my medoll's blue eyes!

and now the second==>

Ice Queen:

1) apply the Kat Von D silver eyeliner on the inside area of the eye,then the Metallic Grey eyeliner on the other side.

2)Apply the white eyepencil on all the contour of the eye then many layers of the white eyeshadow on the inside corner of the eye

3)Display loads of the ice blue eyeshadow on the outside corner of the eyelid and some black mascara for a deep glance!

and now you're completely ready to freeze your vistims!

That's all for now! Which one do you prefer? Ice or Fire?

Also I'm working on the reinvention of a new/old magazine!And you'll be the first to see the cover as soon as the magazine's owner authorizes me to reveal it!

All i can say for now is that GabY-- is the Cover Girl of September's issue and oh my gosh she's so beautifull on that cover!

Ugly...eh?And It's by Louis Vuitton!!

The new Bag from Louis Vuitton is uber uber ugly!! what was supposed to be the hit of this autumn/winter2009 is a complete failure!Two huge designers Marc Jacobs and Takashi Murakami combined their efforts to create it!i personally love Marc Jacobs but this bag is DULL! The supposed to be an "it- bag" is made under the theme of military glam,but i only see a dull pattern with ugly colors The new speedy is certainly not flattering either Vuitton or the artistic capacities of Murakami. be aware,this fashion catastrophy could be very dangerous for your eyes!!

Is it really that ugly?or am i exagerating?tell us in a comment!!

Also be expecting an exclusive interview with Isabella.Arci made by Marie!!

Honey, I'm Home! (:

Hello everyone! I'm back and ready to write. As you may know it was my birthday just a few days ago. I had a party at my house, then we went out and then we went on a 3 day trip which was mostly spent shopping haha! I had so much fun and it was defiantly worth going! Anyway i'm back again and i've been looking around stardoll and the sale is here already (OMG) Not that i mind haha :P

I'll see you later with a new post (:

Love,

Marie ox

Massive Sale!!+Free Items!

Isn't too ....Early!

I was so surprised when i saw that the monthly sale started before the usual time wich means 24th or 25th of the month,and instead it started the 15th!!

Is it because of the 20M reached,or is it another marketting strategy from Stardoll admins!!

Here's my theories:

1)Sale=spending loads of stardollars,that is a fact in whenever time it is!but when the new collection of Vivienne Tam is soon to be released,it means that stardoll wants it users to be broke when it comes,so we'll want it so bad that we'll buy more and more stardollars!!

2)20M=they're becoming kind with us,and are making this prematured sale to reward us of being good users.....do you really think this could happen in the best of the worlds[as Voltaire describes ours with sarcasm in Candide....oops sorry am i missing my french litterature courses?Oh NO....maybe a little]

Anyway,this month's sale is completely wonderfull,and it was hard for me to make this selection:

-Erin Fetherson and Betsey Johnson's dresses are def a must have,for a cocktail party or simply an outfit in the air of Betsey's Prom Queen.

-Sonia Rykiel's dress(Ballerina dress) is so floaty and subtile,and could be easily layered,or worn in a fairy spirit.

-Ashley Skirt,layered to SR's dress to make it your very own and it dresses it up

-Mod Pixie Dress,a bit too Mod,but with the right accessories,a retro look is guaranteed

-Beret is my fav,it gives a frenchie artistic touch,and used to be rare(before Stardoll rereleased it)

-Carrie Skirt:so subtile and delicate!moi adore!

-From the office to the ranch,Carrie Vest,can be used differentlybut always adds chicness!!

-and last but not least:Pretty top,made of lace,could be used in a victorian outfit aswell as a retro chic one.i would see it under the BJ dress(i love it)

I hope you like my selection,if i could i would have introduced more items,but you better see it all in shopping spree at the starplaza!

Also My dearest friend ReshResh gave me yesterday a long list of....FREE CLOTHES!!that are seen with the original price,but you could buy them even if you have no stardollars!the clothes are not all wearable,but the shoes!omg fabulous,it includes Louboutins shoes from Rio(5) and the leather jacket(7)!i bought it all!!and still have my dollars!!

I might post the list in a comment,but not for sure,i don't want to be accused of encouraging young ladies on cheating!

i might also do a minishop sale's review,if you want it ask for it!!

p.s.don't forget to comment,it's what makes us continue blogging!

And we're all missing Marie,who i think is still on her Bday shopping trip!

come back soon darling!!

let the festivities begin!!

Hiya there!

Yay!Stardoll reached it 20millions members today!!and to award their loyal members(us) they're giving each person 20 stardollars!!(in case you didn't get yours just relog in),special offers and there's a couture dresses giveaway lottery!!!

Inspired Looks

Hello everyone

it's Heidi in tha place!and today,i'm coming up with some inspired look!inspired from what??you might ask.....well you'll see!

The first look is inspired from.....mango!the fruit not the brand!i was eating mango when bingo!!let's make a mango eyes make up!!first,display the jumbo eyepencil flesh on the interior half of the eye,display many layers of the eye shadow pearl n°3,then some black masacara,and the green eyeliner!!and here you go with your delicious mango eyes!keep your lips natural,there's laready too much colors on the eyes.

To the second!this one is inspired by the new wave that is invasing stardoll this week:Back to School.Display the white eyeshadow on all the eyelid,then the jumbo eyepencil blue from the lashes part.put on some masacara,a white eyepencil on the corner of the eye,a cherrysh lipstick and put on some school-ish accessories as the headband,apple earings or even the new glasses!!Ready for school?...Duhh

Now,and finally the third,and because i know you love high fashion,luxe,extravagance and designers creations,i decided to create on my medoll,one of the looks that Christian Dior showed on Paris Fashion Week-Winter2009.

Mine is only inspired,not look a like,neither similar.To get it,display lot of white eyeshadow on all the contour of the eyes,draw a line in the limit of the eye with the jumbo eyepencil beige(it shld be brown,but stardoll don't have one) then play with black and brown eyeliners,and add some mascara and a touch of lipstick.

I love the CD original look,it's so fierce!!

that's all for now Ciao!
