Runway

Runway

The last Stardoll release of 2023 is upon us, and it's a new Runway collection.

Runway has become everyone's favorite worst nightmare as the pieces are amazing, but the prices are extremely high for a non-limited store. I just hope that at some point, they can reintroduce limited pieces for this brand or lower the prices to be on par with other regular stores.



My favorite piece of this collection is, for sure, the corset top shown on the middle mannequin at the front window. Can't wait for a 50% off sale to buy it and some other pieces that I also liked.


So far, they have only added one floor to the store. However, as we can see, the items in the main window aren't there, and in the catalog, you can also find some other items that aren't featured on any of those mannequins. Someone might have forgotten to configure the 2nd floor, and we may get it anytime soon.

Weekly Superstar Gift

Weekly Superstar Gift
One week since the last update on the weekly SS gift hasn't passed, but they have already changed it. This week, you can claim the black bag from the last It Girls for free on the superstar page.

Wild Candy

Wild Candy
Yesterday was the turn of a new Wild Candy release. Everyone loves a good item, and it's even better when it's for starcoins, right?


There are 2 new Wild Candy floors with lots of fashionable pieces. I liked the collection a lot! The only thing I can complain about is the lack of accessories, as we only have 2 pairs of shoes and 2 bags to complete all the outfits.



One thing I couldn't help but notice when looking at the store is that the blue pants on the last mannequin on the 1st floor and the black top on the 2nd mannequin on the 2nd floor are missing from the catalog, and you can't buy them from the store either. I hope they can fix it soon.

It Girls

It Girls
The last week of December in Stardoll started with an It Girls release. On Monday (25th), the new collection dropped containing a few pieces. I thought that because it was Christmas day, we wouldn't have anything, but I guess I was wrong...


Lately, I feel like the It Girls lost the track and don't have the 'IT' anymore.

Holiday Calendar - Day 25

Holiday Calendar - Day 25
Following the pattern of the Calendar releases, on the last day, aka today, we should have had a decor item. Instead, we received a not-so-Christmasy red "dress" that's more likely to be a bodysuit.


Even if it isn't an item suited for the occasion, I really liked this dress/bodysuit and bought it without thinking twice. Sadly, I couldn't find any item that matched it in real life.

Holiday Calendar - Day 24

Holiday Calendar - Day 24

Sorry for the delay in posting this, but for the day 24, we got a pair of Chanel black boots for the Holiday Calendar. Some of you may know that I love boots, but this one, in particular, hasn't pleased me much. However, it's a good pair to have in a collection.



Here's the real version of the Chanel Wool Printed Combat Boots:

Holiday Calendar - Day 23

Holiday Calendar - Day 23
A very festive item awaits us inside the 23rd Christmas letter in the Holiday Calendar. It's a leopard scooter. Yes, you saw it right. It's a scooter. With leopard print. 
I'll let the item speak for itself.


The most interesting fact about this is that there are actually a lot of leopard print scooters out there, and I could find the one that inspired this one:

Winter Peak

Winter Peak

On Friday (22), we got the release of two new floors in Winter Peak. Even though they are distributed across two floors, the collection has just a few items.



If rearranged correctly, everything would fit on one floor, but perhaps with two different scenarios they wanted to give the idea that this collection is bigger than it is? 
Anyways... There are some beautiful items, but nothing that I have the urge to immediately buy. The Dalmatian dog looks very cute, though.

Weekly Superstar Gift

Weekly Superstar Gift
Can you imagine if the weekly gift is updated on the weekend, and you receive an item that was released in the past week? Because that's what happened this time. 
The Superstar free gift, supposed to be changed at the start of each new week, was updated only today with an item that was part of the JetSet collection from last Friday. I just love how punctual this game is.

Holiday Calendar - Day 22

Holiday Calendar - Day 22
We're only 3 items away from ending this calendar, and nothing iconic was released. For today, we got a dress that could be part of a Nelly collection or be in any other regular release.


It's inspired by Solace London, which is funny because this brand has so many amazing dresses that could have been chosen for the calendar instead of this one. You can see the real-life dress below:


Also, today all the other calendar items are open and available for sale again. If you missed something, now is your chance to buy.

Holiday Calendar - Day 21

Holiday Calendar - Day 21
We're 4 days away from Christmas and all we got from the Holiday Calendar today is an icy tiara. 
The price is good, but the item is too simple, I'm saying this as if the other items weren't. You can find it for suite and BP in the catalog. Since I haven't bought it yet, I can't say which version you'll get when buying it directly from the calendar.


I found an item that is similar to this, but I'm not 100% sure that it's the item that served as the base inspiration. So, I guess I'm not sharing it here.

Holiday Calendar - Day 20

Holiday Calendar - Day 20
The calendar item on the 20th wasn't really a surprise since its name was already displayed in the 19th item, and it was already available for purchase in Starplaza.

This bag is so basic and boring; Idk how it ended up being one of the chosen items to be a part of this holiday calendar. Despite the "Balanciaga" in the item's name, the brand name written on the bag is spelled correctly.


The real version of this item if anyone wants to check:

Epiphany x Valentino Zodiac Jewellery

Epiphany x Valentino Zodiac Jewellery

The 3rd release inspired by the Valentino Zodiac Signs Collection was released today. The Capricorn necklaces and earrings are available in three colors, in suite and BP versions, similar to what we received for the other two signs.

The Capricorn season officially begins on 22/12, next Friday, but due to the project's release schedule that are always on Wednesday, we received it two days earlier. It will be available until 20/01, the last day of the Capricorn season.



Here the real life necklace:

Christmas 2023 quiz!

Christmas 2023 quiz!

A new competition was added to the 'news' section on Stardoll. It's a quiz with some Christmas related questions. Those who answer everything correctly will have the chance to win Stardollars.

If you don't know the answers and aren't in the mood to Google them, you can see them below in the image.



Everyone who enter the competition will win a free cake.

Holiday Calendar - Day 19

Holiday Calendar - Day 19
Today's calendar item held a surprise for us: two items in one. Does it mean we have 2 items for the 19th? No! This means someone at Stardoll updated today's items with the name of tomorrow's item, and to complete the twist, they also made the 20th item available for purchase.


The item for day 19 is called "19th Candy Cane Decoration," but as we can see in the image, it's written "20th Balenciaga Rope Bag," which is supposed to be tomorrow's release for the calendar. The 13 SD price is also referred to the bag, not the candy cane vase, and both are available in the catalogue.


Another twist to this story is that the Candy Cane Decoration was apparently released some years ago, in 2014 to be more specific, as part of a Limited Edition Decor in a Christmas-themed collection, as you can see in the picture below:


In my opinion, the new item looks better illustrated than the LE one. The shading and forms in the calendar item look amazing, to be honest, and it appears more accurate to the real-life version of the item.

Sunny Bunny

Sunny Bunny

Stardoll is jingling all the way this Christmas and has released a new Sunny Bunny collection that features items themed for the season - just like last year.



I must say that this release is quite exotic, as I can't find another word to describe it. With the exception of the lips, all other beauty items have both BP and suite versions available for purchase.



Are yyou getting any of these festive items to wear on Christmas day?

Holiday Calendar - Day 18

Holiday Calendar - Day 18
Starting the week with a new fashion item in the Holiday Calendar: a pair of black boots that you can buy with starcoins.



I believe they are inspired by Steve Madden's Silhouette Black Quilted Over-the-Knee High Heel Boots. You can see them below:

Holiday Calendar - Day 17

Holiday Calendar - Day 17

One item that can't be left out from the Christmas tree are the presents, and they were just delivered under the calendar.

We had already seen the spoilers of these presents in the calendar layout. I was very excited to get the chance to buy them, and it got even better when I saw it's an sc item.



The inspiration was taken from the one and only PNGTree; you can check it below:

Holiday Calendar - Day 16

I guess I'm tired of complaining about this holiday calendar, and from now on, I'll just embrace it as it is... Or maybe not! 

I don't think those pants look bad, but they're not suited for the occasion. One way or another, I bought it because it has a different style that I personally liked, even if it doesn't have the special touch that a calendar item deserved.



Below you can see the real life version by AKIRA.

The JetSet

The JetSet
Besides the Gift-o-Meter today we also got a new The JetSet release, it looks a small collection if you look in the cathalogue but the're two new floors add to the store.


The quality of the items looks so good, but sadly not many of them are the type of clothes I usually buy, as long dresses are very hard to style. I ended up buying only the belt on the second mannequin on the second floor.


What are your opinions on this release?

Gift-o-Meter

Gift-o-Meter

Here it is, the long awaited Holiday Gift-o-Meter Christmas edition is finally here!

Like every GoM, this one has 10 milestones to conquer. The first prize is given out when you spend 15 sds, and the last level is to spend 300 sds. It only counts when something is bought from Starplaza; bazaar shopping doesn't count for this promotion.



All the items look so fancy and festive, the aesthetics I wanted we had in the Holiday Calendar. 
What items have you liked the most, if you liked any? Which levels of stardollares spending are you planning to reach to receive the gifts?

Holiday Calendar - Day 15

Holiday Calendar - Day 15
Only 10 days away from Christmas, and the end of the holiday calendar, they finally picked a good and usable decor item to release, and the best part is that it's for sc.


This time, the inspiration isn't AI-made, but, apparently, handmade.

Holiday Calendar - Day 14

Holiday Calendar - Day 14

Oh, well... That's it for today's calendar item. At least it's inspired by Moschino's pre-fall 2023 collection. It could have suited better for a Pearls release; it's too 'simple' for a holiday calendar, but still, it's better than all the other items we got so far.



Here's the rl version of the Moschino jumpsuit:

Callie's Picks Decor

Callie's Picks Decor

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year is the theme of the 43rd Callie's Pics Decor, but unfortunately, we can't call this release 'wonderful'.



I'll also be repeating myself, like them, if I say again that all of these items are being re-released every year over and over again, like they don't have any other old Christmas themed items in their archives. If the responsible person is lazy to find new items, just fire them and hire a new person who can make something to make CP better (or end it once and for all!).
At least, I can point out something good in this collection: there are 3 items for 1sd only, they are: christmas presents, gold xmas ball, and gold xmas pendant. There are also some sc items, including the big Santa hat that was already re-released last year for 13sd.
