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 Inspired by Loewe

Hello Dear Readers,
Today I'm going to talk about a singular item: RARE Inspired by Loewe.

Maybe not everyone could appreciate its peculiarity. It's difficult to combine it in an outfit, has got a bright turquoise colour and strange lenght.
It's a pair of high-heeled boots with a sort of belt on the top.
RARE Inspired by Loewe was realeased on Fudge shop (a shop that suddenly doesn't exist anymore) and its current value is Starcoins. In the past you could find it in Starbazaar for 500/600 Starcoins like me, today it's obviously a little bit more difficult, but if you like it keep searching!

You can find this RARE in the Dress Up doll Katarina Witt, figure skater and two times Olympic Gold medalist for Germany ( Katarina Witt Dress Up Doll ).
The Dress Up doll has also the complete outfit from the Loewe Fall Winter 2007/08 Fashion Show.

What do you think?
Do you think you have skills to make a good outfit by using these strange boots?
If you'd like to test yourself and try a new chellange, visit my doll ( La_RuGBiSTa Suite ) and make an outfit with these boots, the most I like will be publish here with credits!

RARE Necklace as in Anna Sui (Part 2)

Few days ago I've written an article about a RARE almost unknown: RARE Necklace as in Anna Sui ( http://rareonstardoll.blogspot.it/2018/01/rare-necklace-as-in-anna-sui.html )

As I have written, this RARE is so mysterious I couldn't even find a Dress Up doll with this item and, more important, the real life inspiration.

I want to thank publicly terhi6v, for her great help! She has found a lot of information about our RARE.

-First of all I couldn't find the Dress up doll because Stardoll has deleted it. It was the Dress Up Boho (thanks to the blog http://seenonstardoll.blogspot.it/2008/09/sportmax-outfit-accesories-boho.html for the photo) 

-But, the most interesting information is that terhi6v has found the real life version of our RARE. Stardoll says the RARE is inspired by Anna Sui, but it is more similar to a Sportmax necklace. This outfit appeared on the Fall Winter 2007/2008 Sportmax Milano collection. Our RARE and this accessory are almost the same: black pearls on the neck, feathers (not every color are identical but mostly) and the white supports.

Why has Stardoll credit Anna Sui as an inspiration for this RARE and not mention Sportmax Milano?

This is one of many Stardoll mystery, I guess!

Thank you again to terhi6v, and if other readers know something I've missed about this or other RAREs I've already treated in other posts, just let me know here or by Stardoll or Facebook! :)

#RAREHistory: Staff talks about "RARE" clothes

Few days ago I've written a letter to Stardoll, without much expectation about an answer (open the two photos below for a better quality).

Unexpectedly this morning I've received this answer from a really kind Staff girl!

So we have learned a new Stardoll lesson today, hope this post will help other collectors/Stardoll addicted :)

RARE Necklace as in Anna Sui

RAREs are not only clothes. They can be also accessories.
RAREs are not only in suites. They can be also in Beauty Parlor.

Not everyone knows it, but as I have luckily discovered years and years ago, you can find RAREs also in Beauty Parlor.
These RAREs are more hidden and consequently hardest to find.
I write in the plural but I must be honest with you: at the moment I know only one RARE item you can find in Beauty Parlor (and I'm really happy to say I own it!).
I'm talking about RARE Necklace as in Anna Sui (I know, it's an ugly name, but is Stardoll fault!).

The photos are really ugly, forgive me.
As you can see is a feathers necklace. Black pearls on the neck, the white things are something like hooks used to hook (sorry but it's difficult to explain!) the blue, light blue, pink and two different brown with different lenght feathers that are used to create an ethnic necklace.




The feathers give to the necklace a lot of volume and they shroud completely the neck.
The feathers are not really well made and you can see not a great job is done on the white supports.
I think it's an old piece and I can't find a Dress Up doll with this item.








An other interesting thing is that doesn't appear the Shop on the label, so we can hypothesise it was realeased in a Shop that is not in Starplaza anymore.
The current value is Starcoins and this is the reason is difficult to find in Starbazaar.







You can use it as a necklace (but be careful with your chin, the RARE could cover it!)

But also as a bracelet

What about the real life version? I think Stardoll hadn't took inspiration from a particular Anna Sui Fashion Show. I've checked every Collection from 2000 to 2010 and I haven't found something that completely match our RARE.
But I can hypothesise, again.

Anna Sui has proposed various ethnic collections, expecially with Indian American inspirations.
I suggest you to take a look to the Anna Sui Spring Summer 2005 Collection, published by Vogue ( https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/spring-2005-ready-to-wear/anna-sui/slideshow/collection ). Maybe Stardoll took inspiration from this collection. What do you think?
I'll show you some details that have convinced me, expecially the first one.

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.
