RARE Inspired By Blumarine

After months I'm back and with me I carry a new RARE article for you!

This time we'll talk about: RARE Inspired By Blumarine.

RARE Inspired By Blumarine is a nice mini dress or vest. V- neck, three-quarter sleeves. It has a tight shape body but a flared shape on the arms and legs.
A lovely aquamarine is used as main color. A blue-violet and a salmon colors are used to create two long stripes around neck which prosecute to the entire body. The blue-violet stripe has some glitter. On the salmon stripe there are four golden buttons, two closed and two open.

RARE Inspired By Blumarine was released in the shop Tingeling and the actual currency is Stardollars. Not so hard to find in the general Starbazaar, you can find it also for less than 100 Stardollars.












Stardoll has released a different version of our RARE on Aishwarya Rai's closet. The page is no more available on Stardoll.com. In this case, Stardoll has used a salmon as main color and orange and purple for the stripes. What is your favourite version?

The Aishwarya's version is the most similar to the real life version of this RARE. The vest was part of the Spring/Summer 2008 collection.

RARE Jacket and RARE Inspired by Demeulemeester

In these days I'm really productive in writing articles, so today I want to post another RARE story!

In this post you'll find information about two differentr RARE, like the one posted yesterday.
The two RAREs I'll introduce you haven't got the same name label but have to be presented together because part of the same catwalk outfit.

RARE Jacket 

Basic but chic, classic and versatile, RARE Jacket is perfect for every occasion. Black&White are the only color used. White is the main color of this long sleeves jacket, black is used for collar, sleeve lapels and buttons. I'm particularly in love with the collar that is not entirely black but B&W patterns are alternate and have different thickness.

RARE Inspired by Demeulemeester

This RARE is a really eccentric top. The upper part reminds oriental clothes, in particular Mandarin collar traditional Chinese dresses, for its collar and slevees. The upperside is irregular and asymmetrical, with the right part longer than the left. The main color is white. Black is used for board and sewing and for buttons.

I reaaly like the originality used to create this top.

RARE Jacket and RARE Inspired by Demeulemeester were released from the shop Fallen Angel and their current currency is Starcoins.

You can find RARE Jacket and RARE Inspired by Demeulemeester in the Dress Up Doll Amy Lee 3

(Amy Lee3).

The real inspiration is an outfit from the Demeulemeester Fall/Winter 2007/2008 collection. 

RARE Inspired by Balenciaga

Hello dear readers,
Today I'll show you not one but TWO RAREs in only one topic!

These two RAREs are both called RARE Inspired by Balenciaga.

The first RARE Inspired by Balenciaga is a collared blouse with short sleeves with 80s shoulder pads  and it appears very rigid if you look at the chest. The second RARE Inspired by Balenciaga is a mini-skirt. These two RAREs have the same pattern and color. The pattern is oblique checker with alternately colored squares: white, pink and fuchsia. There are also magenta buttons, two lines in the center of the skirt and one line on the top of the sleeves.

RARE Inspired by Balenciaga blouse was released in the shop Pretty n' Pink (now Pretty n' Love) and its current currency is Stardollars.

RARE Inspired by Balenciaga skirt was released from the shop Pretty n' Pink and its currency is Starcoins.

You can find the two RAREs in the Dress Up doll Harlequin (Harlequin).

Stardoll took inspiration from the Balenciaga Spring Summer 2008 collection. Stardoll has left some details like pockets and wrinkles, but also the sheen texture.

RARE Skirt

Sometimes Stardoll has no imagination, so decide to give basic names to the items they create.

It's the case of the RARE I'll show you today called simply RARE Skirt.

RARE Skirt is a long skirt with four large flouces. The flouces make the skirt looks fuller from the top to the bottom. The skirt is low waist and completely cover the doll's feet.
Its main colour is so difficult to describe. Stardoll used different shades of yellow and white for the laces on the flouces.
I've found an interesting colour table with different kind of yellow, what colours do you think can describe better the RARE Skirt? I've highlighted the colours which are more similar to the Stardoll version.





You can find RARE Skirt in the Dress Up doll Zhang Ziyi (Dress Up Zhang Ziyi 2). Stardoll decided to propose this dress in Zhang Ziyi dress up because the Chinese actress worn it at the 2007 Vanity Fair Oscar Party at Mortons on February the 25th, 2007 in West Hollywood, California.

The Stardoll label is Voile and its value is Stardollars.

The real version of this skirt is a gown dress from Valentino Spring 2007 Couture Collection in tulle and lace, with a embroidered corset. So sunny and fresh!

Model: Lindsay Ellingson

2007

RARE Inspired by Wunderkind

Here we go with a new RARE article my dear readers!

Today I'll introduce you a lovely piece, one of my favourite and unfortunately not in my wardrobe:
RARE inspired by Wunderkind.

RARE inspired by Wunderkind is a middle lenght dress, surely made in a soft texture. Sleeveless, V neck with a beautiful little bow on the chest.

Lovely colors have been used, all in light shade: periwinkle, cream and peach.
Periwinkle is the main color, peach is used for the bow and two of the four stripe.

Nice work with the wrinkle, that makes the dress so realistic and light, perfect for summer days.















RARE inspired by Wunderkind was released by the beloved shop Fudge (girls), its value is Stardollars.
Not simple to find on Starbazaar, its difficult to find someone who sell it, even for 600 Stardollars.



You can find this dress in the Dress Up Doll Eve (Eve Dress Up), American rapper and actress.

RARE inspired by Wunderkind is inspired by the Spring/Summer collection 2008 from the German fashion brand Wunderkind created by Wolfgang Joop and Edwin Lemberg in 2003.

Its hard to appreciate this amazing creation, but I think Stardoll has done a great work with the pixel version of this dress.
Do you agree?

RARE Inspired by McQueen

Hello dear readers,
It has been a while since I've published my last post here.

Today I want to introduce you a new RARE I've found yesterday for a little price, I even don't realize how much I've been lucky yet!

All of the most "fashion victims" and taste of style Stardoll's members recognize Alexander McQueen as an icon, a genious, an artist, simply one of the most appreciate fashion designer of all time.

Stardoll has always show admiration for the late designer, and has often released amazing outfits inspired by his last fashion shows. These dresses are really must have, because of their uncommon shapes, colours and style, characteristics that make them so unmistakable!

Stardoll hasn't done exeptions with RAREs. A great number of RAREs are tagged has "Inspired by Alexander McQueen".
Here I present you the "RARE Inspired by McQueen".

You can find in the suite of Phoenix (Phoenix's Suite), in the past there where a special Dress Up dedicated to this mythical bird, but it doesn't exist anymore (Stardoll's mystery!). As you can see the dress is a little bit different than the one you can own in the game and find in the Starbazaar. Phoenix one has different long sleeves (very beautiful in my opinion) because of the doll pose. Our version has long sleeves too, but different pose, slanting skirt, deep V neck and a light belt. I like the colour, shade of colour from hot orange to lighter orange, beige to grey/brown.





You can find this dress under the Voile label in Starbazaar and it's currency is Stardollars. It's not simple to find, I can say I've been lucky to find it for only 22 stardollars!

The real version of Alexander McQueen dress.

Released in the Spring/Summer 2008 collection. I love this dress so much. I like the texture, it seems so light and silky. I love also the colour, so iridescent.

Do you like Alexander McQueen creations? I'll surely present you the other RAREs inspired by his amazing works as soon as possibile.

RARE Inspired By Bill Blass

Dear Readers,
today I've bought a new RARE and reached 35 RAREs!
For this reason I'd like to introduce you my new purchase: RARE Inspired By Bill Blass.

RARE Inspired By Bill Blass is a vintage dress with flowers pattern, its main color is violet with lilac and golden details. It reminds a painting, something like Impressionism style (watch some Monet paintings and tell me if you see some similarity or not).

This RARE is a middle-lenght dress. Its skirt lenght is just above the knees.

I personally like the top: sleeveless, V neck with a cute collar and pink satin belt, make it seem so old style and romantic. These details go so well with the flowers pattern.

I like less the skirt maybe because of the pattern. The flowers are too much stylized, but as I'll show you is very similar to the real life version.






You can find the dress in the Ashley Tisdale Dress Up ( Ashley Tisdale 4 Dress Up ).

It was released by the shop Voile (perfect shop for this dress I think) and its currency is Stardollars.

You can find it in Starbazaar, sometimes it could appeare between 200/300 Stardollars, I guess.

Yes, it's easier to find instead of other RAREs. One of the reasons is that years ago it was possible to gift clothes connecting your Stardoll account with Facebook and playing Stardoll on it. Some good and old clothes were released as possible gift, included our RARE, as you can see on the photo (the name doesn't contain the world "RARE").

Below we have the real version of our RARE.
The dress is part of the Bill Blass Spring Summer 2008 collection.

                                                                                                                                              

                                                                                               
Obviously the real version has a better flowers pattern. It also has a different type of belt.

Do you like this romantic outfit? Perfect for Valentine's Day ❤

TWIGGY SECTION: 2nd Episode, RARE Inspired by See by Chloé (Olive Dress)

Dear Readers,

Second Episode of our Twiggy Section!

Today let me introduce you a RARE really hard to find in Starbazaar, but in general in an "ordinary" closet. I'm talking about another RARE Inspired by See by Chloe (this is the real label, but of course the fashion house is Chloé), but this time it's a dress.

RARE Inspired by See by Chloe is a classic style dress. Mid-lenght, short puffy sleeves, round collar are its main features. It as a really singular color, we can describe it as a dark olive with just a little brown. I personally like the light and dark and the wrinkles, these details make

the dress seem more three-dimensional.

This RARE was released by Fudge Shop, its actual currency is Stardollars.

As I said in the First Episode ( 1st Episode ), Stardoll took a lot of ideas from the Fall Winter 2007/08 See by Chloé collection. 

Below, a comparison between our version (you can find it in the Dress Up Doll Twiggy ) and the real version.

The two dresses are really similar: same colour and lenght, details on the chest and cuffs on the sleeves. 

Stardoll has missed only two details: buttons on the chest and the particular texture the real dress has.

What do you think about this vintage item?

RARE on Stardoll Feat. FedericoMosi

Would you like to be featured by the RARE on Stardoll Blog? Send me your RARE creation!

I love people who think out of the box, who reinterpret in their own way fashion, in this case the difficult RARE transparent coat.
Here we are one of them.

His name is Federico and his doll is called FedericoMosi (http://www.stardoll.com/en/user/?id=410221561 ).
For this outfit he used: Queens Jacket (tingeling), Rio Skirt (Rio) and Off white Inspired Silk Heels (Off-White Tribute, you can find them in Starplaza).

Federico is a young boy really talented!
I leave down below some of his works but I suggest you to visit him and keep an eye on him, I'm sure he will improve more and more again.

RARE dragon dress

Not everyone loves old graphic clothes. They are unrealistic, sometimes don't fit good on dolls, have sharp shapes, not great color changing, bad shadows and are too much basic.

Fortunately Stardoll has released also RAREs with new graphic, more realistic and fashionable.
Today we'll talk about RARE dragon dress.

You can find it in the Dress Up doll Katarina Witt, figure skater and two times Olympic Gold medalist for Germany  ( http://www.stardoll.com/en/dolls/746/Katarina_Witt.html?dsearch ).

This RARE is not very wanted. If you see it in a superficial way it doesn't seem to have noteworthy pecularity, nothing able to make you exlaim "WOW! I WANT IT IN MY CLOSET!"















But I invite you to watch it in depth, more closely.

What do you think now? There is more interesting cues than before?
Watch the large, high belt on the waist, the two vertical sewings and the draped skirt. Focus your attention on the fantastic black drawing. Personally, I think is really well done. The "Dragon" that gives the name to this RARE is actually a beautiful female demon, with a long-limbed naked body, a pair of horns and a big bat wing. I suggest you to open the photo and you'll appreciate more this fantastic work Stardoll done.

Stardoll released this RARE for the first time  in the shop RIO. Why have I wrote for the first time? Because Stardoll inexplicably decided to release it again on February 2012 in the shop Archive, something like the actual Callie's Picks. Maybe this is one of the reasons RARE dragon dress is less wanted than other RAREs.
In Archive was released for a little price: only 7 Stardollars. This is maybe another reason this RARE is considered as a second category RARE. Almost everyone, Superstar and not, had bought it and his value poured down in a short time.

What about the real dress? Stardoll took inspiration from the Balmain Fall Winter 2007/08 Fashion Show.
In general the Stardoll version is similar to the real one: same lenght (a mini dress), same three-quarter sleeves, same high belt and round collar. But what about our highlight, the dragon? Stardoll dragon is drawing, the real dragon is a sequin silver dragon, not extraordinary, in my opinion.






But I've not done for today
I've found an other interesting photo about Balmain dragon dress, from another angulation.







You can see the famous and loved Italian journalist Anna Dello Russo, creative consultant and editor-at-large for VOGUE Japan worn the dress during a party. The dress has a beautiful open back and a zip.
Tell the truth to yourself, you have dreamt to know how Stardoll clothes fit back at least once in your life, haven't you?













So we have done for today, I hope to have contributed to revalue this RARE because is really interesting, the only fault is attributable to Stardoll and their questionable choices.

See you!

RARE transparent Coat

Here we are guys with the first article!


Let's talk about one of the oldest and rarest RARE (), and also one of the most wanted and really singular: RARE transparent coat.

RARE transparent coat is a mid-length coat with a nice belt and neck, buttons, rolled sleeves, pockets and a "breast-pocket" on the right. Not bad for a piece drawn in old graphic (maybe 2008).
Its peculiarity is the color: it may seems light blue/lilac but if you put it on your doll you realize is actually transparent as Stardoll promise. If you think that wear it just like this it's too much for you, don't worry, I'll show you that also in real life is not worn as a single dress.

This RARE made his first appearance in the Dress Up, worn by the Desperate Houswife Nicolette Sheridan (http://www.stardoll.com/en/dolls/547/Nicolette_Sheridan.html?dsearch). As you can see, the coat is so transparent and the lingerie is visible.
RARE transparent coat was released from the store It Girls (I think it was Stardoll in the origin, but I ask for eventually corrections from oldest members!) in Starplaza, the current value is Stardollars, so maybe if you are really lucky, and willing to spend a bit, you can find it in Starbazaar.



As I promised, now I'll show you the real version of this fantastic RARE. It has been really hard to find something similar to this RARE.
Maybe Stardoll took inspiration from the Spring/Summer 2009, Dolce&Gabbana collection, worn by the famous Polish model Magdalena Frackowiak.
The two Italian stylists suggest to use a mini dress and fishnet stockings, with black accessories (clutch and plateau sandals) and a stylish foulard (scarf).
The D&G coat version has more deteiled sewings.









PS If you visit the Dress Up doll Nicolette Sheridan you'll see Stardoll made an other version of this coat. It's in brown and not available in the game.
Which coat do you like the most?










I hope you'll like this new kind of article on my blog!
See you later!
