Last Friday (20/06) we got a new Villa collection.

The update brought two floors filled with cozy, colorful and elegant decorr, perfectly channeling a boho-chic countryside vibe, or what a call cute grandma decor. The collection have lots of textures and embroidery in a colorful palette.

My personal favorite items are the Embroidered Foral Pouf, the Old Spring Painting and the Flower Handpainted Drawers, but I can’t forget the great starcoin pieces that are available, they're the Stained Glass Chandelier, Rope Hammock Swing and Floral Vases Set are all lovely additions. I’ve already bought them and hope to use them soon in a new decor.

Did you grab any pieces from this release? What were your faves? Let me know in the comments!

Midsommar is one of Sweden’s most important holidays, celebrated around the summer solstice, usually between June 19th and 25th. It marks the longest day of the year and the official start of summer.

Swedes celebrate by gathering with friends and family to enjoy outdoor feasts, dance around the maypole, wear flower crowns, and sing traditional songs. The traditional meal usually includes pickled herring, new potatoes, strawberries and plenty of snaps.

Midsommar is deeply rooted in nature, folklore and old pagan traditions, it's considered a time for joy, love and fertility. To celebrate this holiday, we received two themed gifts: a Swedish Strawberry Cake and a Midsummer Crown.

I wonder if yesterday’s game crash was somehow related to this, as lately every freebie seems to be followed by a breakdown.

On Wednesday, it was time to return to summer vibes with a brand-new Riviera release.

The store received two new floors filled with clothes perfect for a summer vacation. There are three items available for starcoins: the Satin Bikini Top, the Silk Wrap Scarf (also available in a BP version) and the Rainbow Tied Dress.

But the item that really caught my attention was the Ice Cream Cone, I’m a big fan of whoever keeps bringing us props that dolls can hold in hand. It adds such a fun, dynamic touch to styling.

On Monday, the first release of the week was a new Wild Candy collection!

It brought two new floors to the store filled with tons of street style pieces. I must say that in the latest releases Wild Candy has become one of my favorite stores, thanks to the great starcoin prices, the quality of the items, and how easy they are to style.

From this collection, my favorite pieces are the red cargo pants and the cashmere pink crop top. But as always, I’ll be on a mission to collect starcoins to grab the whole store!

Last week on Friday, we had a Limited Edition store release, which arrived quite late due to some technical issues Stardoll was experiencing with their servers.

The store followed a winter wonderland aesthetic, which I absolutely loved. Surprisingly, the item choices for this release were beautiful, different from the free item included in the special offer.

The collection features a mix of designs inspired by brands like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Miss Sohee, Alexander McQueen, Vetements, Vivienne Westwood and a few more. It makes me wonder if Stardoll might be planning to choose some of these for the upcoming tribute season.

As a "sorry for the delay" gift, this time they made a bag available for 5sd, just like what happened in the last Young Hollywood release.

Below, you can check out some of the real life runway versions of the pieces included in this collection.

A new top-up promotion just landed on Stardoll today and it's bringing extra Stardollars and freebie.

For a limited time, when you purchase any stardollars pack, you'll receive 50% more stardollars as a bonus. There's also a special offer item included with the promotion. This time, the gift is a oversized coat inspired by Vaillant Studio's FW25 collection

Please note that the 50% bonus applies only tostardollar packs. The free coat is included in both the stardollar packs and superstar packs, but not in the cheapest (90sd) package. So if you’re aiming to get the bonus item, make sure to choose the right pack!

Here's the real life version of the coat:

Are you topping up this time? I won't, cause I don't liked the freebie but I hope that the collection can bring some good stuff. Let me know what you're planning to spend your bonus stardollars on!

A new month means a new addition to the Epiphany x Birthstone collection, and for June, we welcome the elegant pearl as the spotlight stone!

As usual, Stardoll sent out the monthly dollmail with a few trivia infos about the stone’s history and symbolism. Pearls have long been associated with purity, wisdom and serenity, a timeless gem that adds a soft and classic touch to any look.

This time, the featured crown is the Lover’s Knot Tiara, famously worn by Princess Diana and now often seen on Princess Kate. Known for its romantic design, the tiara is adorned with hanging pearls.

What do you think of this month’s pick? Will you be adding the Lover’s Knot Tiara to your collection?

Here you can take a look at a picture of the real crown:
