Active

Active
August is approaching its end, but we still had time for one last release this month, and it’s Active.The collection introduces two new floors to the store and brings a high-fashion sports vibe, featuring brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Moschino, Dior and sports-related brands like Adidas and Puma.There are two starcoin items: the Adidas Cap and Vintage Newbalance Sneakers, which are the only pieces I've gotten so far. I'm not a big fan of this store, but I might try some of the other...

Celeb Fit

Celeb Fit
It's that time of the month when we finally discover which outfits worn by our favorite celebs were picked for the Celeb Fit window. And this time tey were: Blake Lively, Tyla and Bella Haddid.From what I’ve seen, the Blake/Britney Versace dress has been one of the most requested outfits since they started this store, so I’m not surprised to see it here. This dress became iconic when Britney wore it in 2002 for a Versace fashion show, and it stole the spotlight again this month when Blake...

Evil Panda

Evil Panda
Stardoll is kicking off this last week of August with a super cute Evil Panda release.This collection closely resembles the Sunny Bunny Kloz Kawaii collection (that before the release was labeled as Evil Panda), which is now very expensive in the bazaar and almost impossible to find.I really liked the items and the pastel color palette. The platforms are definitely my favorite pieces, along with the teapot bag.This collection was once again entirely illustrated by Ben Rey (aka Laneki on...

Strike a Pose

Strike a Pose
The last time we had a Strike a Pose collection was in June 2019, nearly five years before this upcoming release. For a long time, I thought we would never see another SAP collection, but after countless messages from members urging Stardoll and the illustrators - especially Vulacano (if I were him, I'd probably hate me because I asked for this comeback in every interaction I had with him) - it's finally happening.As it used to be, the store is limited and only available for dolls with...

50% more stardollars for Strike a Pose

50% more stardollars for Strike a Pose
It's not an April 1st joke; it's really happening: SAP is back! Along with it, there's a top-up offer of 50% more stardollars on all stardollars packages (superstar not included). Plus, there's a special offer item included in both superstar and stardollars packs, except for the 90sd package (which becomes 125sd with the top-up offer).Here's a closer look at the special offer pose:Below, you can see the picture that inspired the pose. I must say that the pose looks much better and fancier...

Bonjour Bizou

Bonjour Bizou
To start the week, we got a new Bonjour Bizou collection featuring some pieces worn by the favorite Stardoll stars of the moment.Just like the latest Rio Chicas collection, this one was also entirely illustrated by Ben Rey, aka Laneki on Stardoll. He's a former player who is now part of the illustration team.I really liked parts of this collection, and the graphics look great. It's good to see that Stardoll has noticed what their players want. They now have three players on their team...

PopShop

PopShop
Oh well... Today's release is a new PopShop collection, all inspired by her, the Stardoll sweetheart, the Miss Americana.It's not just 1, but 4 floors full of costumes and scenery from her Eras tour. The fact that I recognized the items as soon as I saw them in the "What's New" section on the front page, before even opening Starplaza to see the main window, really concerned ...

To boost summer decor sales, along with the Golden Sands release yesterday, Stardoll also launched a new decor contest. The challenge is to decorate a scenery using at least one item from the most recent Golden Sands collection. The good news is there's a starcoin item available for those who don't usually decorate and don't want to spend Stardollars on decor items.Everyone who enters the contest will receive two special offer items, and the best sceneries will have a chance to win stardollars....

Golden Sands

Golden Sands
Today's release is a new Golden Sands collection, featuring some summer beach decor.There are 2 new floors, featuring decor inspired by the Fendi Beach Club at Puente Romano Beach Resort and the Dolce & Gabbana pop-up at La Cabane Beach Club, both located in Marbella, Spain. I wish they had dedicated each floor to one brand, instead of bringing more Fendi and only adding two D&G piec...

Tributes Last Chance

Tributes Last Chance
It was unnoticed by me until now that yesterday we got an ad informing us of the tributes' last chance. The ad includes all the tributes from this season and the dates when each one will be removed from the plaza. So, if you haven't bought everything you wanted from the collections, now is the time (if they actually remove them, as we still have tributes from last year available for sale).Each week, on Fridays to be more specific, they'll be removing one tribute store, starting with Miu...

Rio

Rio
Today's release is a small Rio collection containing a total of 21 pieces (20 if you consider that the pair of earrings comes in both suite and BP versions). Also, this release officially marks the end of the tribute season, and we're now back to regular store releases.I think I always say that Rio isn't one of my favorite stores, but I'm starting to change my mind. In the latest collections, they've been adding interesting items. This time, they made some cute pieces — I can't take my...

Windows on the World

Windows on the World
For this Friday release, we have a special Olympics themed collection in Windows on the World. I love the perfect timing of this, arriving just in time for the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games. But it's better later than never, right?!The team uniforms available in this release are from the Philippines, Poland, Mongolia, Czech Republic, Haiti and USA. Why they didn't create the outfits to represent more of all the countries participating in these Olympics? I don't know. Maybe they...

Outfit of the Month

Outfit of the Month
Today's release is the August Outfit of the Month. This time, the dolls who curated the outfits were Dorflashy and Megamashytik. It's the 2nd time that they picked something sent by Megamashytik. for OotM. Even though I love her looks and the work she does with PNGs to give ideas to the Stardoll illustration team on which items to bring to the game, I wish they could pick different dolls for this project. I'm not even talking about myself because I don't send ideas to this store,...

This is also the first time we have an exclusive store for this brand.The store features mainly items inspired by Dsquared2's FW23 and SS24 collections. We have already seen some pieces from these collections released in other regular brands this year, such as Pretty n' Love and Mr.There are a total of 17 outfits across the 3 floors, with 3 complete male versions and 3 other items available for male dolls.
