Monday’s release came in time for those who want a pop culture costume for Halloween. Just like last year, we got a collection inspired by iconic characters from beloved 90s and 00s TV shows and movies,  but this time, it came under the Film Theory tag instead of Vinyl, which I think fits much better!

We can spot looks inspired by Cher and Dionne from Clueless, Samantha Jones and Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City, Elle Woods from Legally Blonde, Miranda and Andy from The Devil Wears Prada, Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen from Gossip Girl and Daphne Blake from Scooby-Doo: The Movie.

Also, shoutout to the 90s phone that comes in both black and white versions, such a cute and versatile accessory. I really loved this release! Ever since Cher’s yellow outfit came out last year, I’d been hoping for Dionne’s matching look, so it’s nice to finally have the “set” complete.

The starcoins items from the drop are the Serena White Shirt, Blair Brown Peep Toe Heels, Miranda Black Bag, Elle Pink Bunny Ears and Elle Hot Pink Tights. I’ve already grabbed them all, along with most of the other pieces.

Hello dolls! Sorry for once again posting the release a bit late, Idk if any of you noticed, but this year I decided to give MSW a try and things have been a little crazy since it started, leaving me with not much time for other stuff.

Anyway, for the blog record, last Friday we had what’s probably the last Limited Edition release of the year.

As teased by the logo the day before, the collection features some animal prints and cowboy inspired pieces. I must say, I really liked this one and ended up getting quite a few items (thank you Stardoll for the 2k Stardollars from the MSW semifinal prize, they came in handy!).

Super early this past Thursday, Stardoll added the promotional banner for the Limited Edition release, probably the last Limited one of the year. 

This offer includes 50% more stardollars in all stardollars packs, plus two special bonus items: a bag and a coat. You’ll get the special offer pieces by purchasing any selected stardollar pack (excluding the cheapest one) or any superstar pack. The items are inspired by Luella’s Fall 2002 collection and were worn on the runway by Gisele Bündchen. You can see the reference picture below. I hope we also get those boots in the collection!

I love getting free stuff and since my SS was about to expire, it was the perfect time to renew! Also note that if you purchase any deal, you’ll still receive the wigs from the MSW promo.

With a one week delay, October’s birthstone jewelry arrived this Wednesday, featuring Opal instead of Tourmaline, as both represent the month’s stones. I kinda wish they had chosen pink tourmaline since we already have several blue stones, though I must say, this shade of blue looks really beautiful, and I loved how the silver jewelry complements it.

The release includes the usual earrings, bracelet, ring and necklace in silver and gold, the pendant design is different and we also got a diadem instead of a crown or tiara.

An interesting fact, the Cursed Opal Diadem that was once owned by Princess Marie of Denmark, no longer exists in its original form. It was dismantled and turned into separate pieces of jewelry that were passed down through her family. I don’t know much about royalty, but finding only an old black and white photo of the original tiara made me dig a bit into its history lol. You can see that rare photo below:

For Monday, the 3rd and final part of the MSW collection finally came out!

Featuring two new floors, this drop brings more clothing pieces and while black and gold remain the main focus, we can also see a color variety with pink, teal and periwinkle options for those who don’t want to stick strictly to the competition colors.

Personally, I liked this part of the release more than the first one, the Black Fur is by far my favorite, and I’ve already added it to my fur coat collection!

There are two Starcoin items: the Black Leggings and the Fringe Jumpsuit. Also, the Superstar gift of the week was updated with the Golden Sandals from this release, so it’s nice to see that we’re back to receiving recent pieces as gifts for Superstar and Royalty members.

I was really curious to see what Wednesday’s release would be, since on the second Wednesday of the month we usually get the Epiphany x Birthstone collection and during MSW season we’re used to receiving the three themed releases during the first week. So, I was kinda wishing to see which one would prevail and now we can see that it was the MSW store.

This second drop is the expected decor part, featuring two floors that apparently were all designed by Ben. My favorite pieces are the Gold Mannequin and all the jewelry display color variations.

For those who always have plenty of starcoins to spend, the sc items in this release are the MSW Gold Neon Sign, Gold Vases and Swirl Striped Lamp.

Next Friday, we can expect the third and final part of the MSW collection, bringing more clothing pieces.

Once the letters M–S–W are displayed, you’ll be able to claim the prize, which is available for both versions in suite and beauty parlor.

Later on Monday, after the announcement of this year’s MSW, it was time for the release of the MSW store, or at least the first part of it, if they follow the usual pattern of three releases like in previous years.

This first drop includes a new interior in the competition’s 2025 colors and two floors of clothing, mainly in black and gold, though we can also spot some white and brown pieces.

Personally, I’m not a big fan of this part of the release and hope to see better picks in the upcoming ones (if there are more).

The starcoins pieces are the Black Hat, Gold Brushed Makeup and Gold Sequined Pants. The eyeshadow is available for both beauty parlor and suite, but note that both sides come as a single item, they’re not separated for left and right eyes. The pants are available in male and female versions.

The free items to help contestants decorate for the competition are also available this year. The decor pieces are the same ones we’ve been getting for the past few years, but recolored in this year’s black and gold theme colors.

To claim them, go to the MSW contest page, open the Promote Yourself tab (or scroll down to find the Free Items section) and click there. You’ll be taken to the page where you just need to press the Deliver to my Suite button.

This Monday, a little later in the day, we finally got the MSW 2025 competition page up. As teased last week, when we received the “coming soon” warning, it has now officially arrived.

The 16th edition of the competition features black and gold as its main colors, as also announced in the teaser ad and follows the usual phases and prizes:

• Semi-finalists receive 2,000 Stardollars, the Semi-finalist Sash, and the MSW Semi-finalist Achievement.

• Finalists get 1 month of Superstar, 4,000 Stardollars, the Finalist Sash and the MSW Finalist Achievement.

• For the Top 3, you can check the prizes listed below:

With the release of the competition, we also have a new Special Offer item available, the MSW free wig. It’s included with any pack purchased during the event. You’ll receive two versions of the same hairstyle: one with the jewelry accessory and one without. Both are available in the "Tress Up" hair section.

The voting has already started, although for some reason the voting button still shows last year’s colors. Are you competing for the MSW crow this year? Must say that will be my first time trying, not to get the title but to try to get the semi and maybe the final achievements.

On October 4th, Sweden celebrates Cinnamon Bun Day (in Swedish, Kanelbullens dag). It’s a tradition that started in the late 1990s to honor one of the country’s most beloved pastries and it has since become a cozy celebration where people enjoy fresh, sweet and spiced buns with coffee.

To mark the occasion, this Saturday, Stardoll sent players a free Kanelbulle Tray.
