3 Basics Outfits

Hey everyone,

How have your holidays been? 

Anyways, I noticed that Stardoll brought out new Basics Decor, I think it looks really nice. There is so many things in the new collection, best one so far I'd say. 

Also, a while ago Stardoll released new clothes, quite a variety of things actually. 

I like most of the items there and I have bought quite a bit so down below are 3 outfits I put together using some of my favourite items.

Cute and Playful

Casuel and Neat

Stylish and Unique

Of course you could vary the colours but make sure if you do, it does not look like someone drank 10 litres of Rainbow milk and then vomited on you. 

Hope you enjoyed this post guys,

Tips on getting NCG/NCB

Hello everyone,

Well as promised I am going to give tips on how to win National Covergirl or Coverboy.

As many of you know this is a title that give you stardoll "fame" for a day... or more.

 

So how do I win, you ask. If you read below, there will be some simple tips to follow.

 

First of all I will talk about the different way of winning this title, this includes.

•  Advertising - spamming people either via guestbook, chat or parties.
• Broadcasting - spending alot of broadcast will get you fame & possibly the title.
• Winning a placement for something - such as Catwalk, or Top Design
• Being on the Top Designers list - this maybe almost impossible, thanks to all the cheaters.
• Getting mentioned in a blog - this could be a blog such as this or StarBlog (blog on Stardoll)
• Being Lucky - Some people win by pure luck.

 

Now how should your doll and suite look?

This question has a different answer depending on which country you are from and the method you have chosen. If you're from Japan, Christmas Island, or other countries like that, you're outfit and suite look doesn't matter that much, however I have noticed that winners from these countries are either unique or cosplaying (dressed up as an anime/game characters). For countries like Australia, America and United Kingdom, doll are generally very well dressed, although from time to time there are unique doll who win. These countries suites aren't always "top suites" though, so don't worry if you're suite doesn't look like you spent weeks on it.

 

Which method is best to use?

I find broadcasting or getting a placement on Catwalk the easiest, as I'm not a fan of spamming people, although I did do it when I was doing the academy thing. However, you may find a different method easier. Although I would like to mention it will most likely be almost impossible to get into the Top Designers list, as most of you know, it's full of cheaters.

 

If I decide to advertise what should I write?

I've personal never used this method, and probably never will, but if I were I would write something short, sweet and truthful.

 

So basically something like: Hello, today I am running for NCG/NCB for "Your Country Here" and I was wondering if you could take a moment of your time to please vote me, thank so much if you do.

 

Over something like this: Hey, you have such a beautiful suite and doll, 5/5 honey, your so beautiful, I was wondering if you could vote my doll for NCG/NCB for "Your Country Here", ectera, ectera, and yet again 5/5 your beautiful.

 

These people don't normally get my vote, I delete the message on my guestbook or simple write "yeah, sure" and don't bother voting, or ignore them if there via chat. I find them annoying, untruthful, and most of them seem like they go on forever.

 

What do you mean by "Win by luck"?

This just means some people win by pure luck, they don't advertise, or win anything, there just lucky enough to win somehow. Sometimes this is due to the fact that they are "stardoll famous", however not everyone that wins via luck, is "stardoll famous"

 

What if I never win?

I believe in "never giving up" so that would be my advise for you, if you believe you can win, I'm sure you'll win sooner or later.

 

Last bit of advise, if you're having alot of trouble winning you can join clubs that have competitions to have chosen "covergirls" or ask you're friends if they can either advertise for you (via there presentation, advertising, ect).

 

I hope that this will help some of you's, I know that it's not exactly non-superstar helpful, but there are some methods that non-superstar members can use.

P.S: This will be last post, most likely, for a long time, I will try and post at least once a week, but no promises, as I might be rather busy and uninspired.

Tips on getting a placement on the Catwalk

Hey All,

Today I decided to give some tips on how to get a placement on the Catwalk.

I have been 2nd, 4th and 6th on the Catwalk, so I have a small amount of experience on getting a placement on this title.

 

Okay first of all, picking clothing:
Pick something stylish, but make sure its still you. For example, if you're a girly girl, pick things that represent this, such as a cute dress with some heels and prehaps add a bag or some jewerelly. These tips may not work if you're someone who has big hair, and way too much clothing, the main point is to look stylish, like a model, or unique, yet stylish, not something out of horror movie.

 

Secondly, does you hair and makeup match?:

Your hair and makeup can make or break the outfit. I am well aware that not everyone can buy makeup, but there a plenty of items you can buy (such as false lashes) that will make it seem as if you doll is wearing some makeup. With hair it's best to stick with natural haircolours, so that means stay clear of bright or unnatural colours (some unnatural colours are okay, such as some reds). Yet again, don't go overboard, you don't want to look like a horror movie.

 

Thirdly, make sure everything matches:

If something doesn't look right, change whatever it is until you find something that look perfect. So if you're hair looks to long for the outfit, but you want the length try a different hairstyle that has the length you want.

 

Lastly, wait until you see a new winner:

If you live in Australia the new Catwalk winner is currently announced during the late afternoon, however, sometimes it is during the morning. Just keep checking to see if there is a new winner. If you live overseas, like the UK or something this will be the morning for you.

 

If you don't win that day:

Don't give up, keep trying, either with the same outfit or with a new outfit.
Just because you didn't win straight away doesn't mean the outfit wasn't good.

 

If you do win that day:

Well done, next up you'll probably win National Covergirl/boy for your country, and possibly have the change to be in the Top 5 of becoming Covergirl/boy.

 

That is it for this post, let me know if this helps anyone.

 

Next time, I'll probably do a post about tips on winning National Covergirl/boy

Layering Clothes

Hey all,

I haven't posted for a while, so I decided it was about time I did a new post.

 

This post is all about layering clothes, but you don't just need to use clothes to be able to create unique outfits, some stardollians have creatively added items you can buy through the suite shop. Some dolls you may know who do this are I.like.rice and CrystalsJoy ... but this post I'll be showing examples of layering clothing items only.

 

So as you can see I have used metropolitan dress for both these examples, but layering doesn't neccessary mean you just place a dress with a shirt over the top. You can use multiple skirts, placed with a nice top and create a unique dress or as I noted before you can use items from the suite shop such as the peacock and create even more layers.

 

That's is all for this post, although I'll like to note that I won't be able to post as much at the end of the month due to the fact I am going back to studying.
