FABulous Outfit


My top actually belongs to Stacie, Barbie’s younger sister. This is part of her soccer uniform, and though the bottom half (black shorts) doesn’t even get passed my knees when I tried to fit it, I think this shirt fits me just fine. Why wear a kid’s shirt? This might sound hilarious, but this look is inspired by a not-so-new FAB TV commercial. If you haven’t seen it before or you’re not from the Philippines, here’s the clip:

Fashion Inspiration: Blair Waldorf





Ruffled Top, Fashion Fever. High-waisted Skirt, Barbie. Black Gladiator-like Heels, Avic1030

This outfit is inspired by Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) from the CW series Gossip Girl. I love how the red ribbon on the ruffles overhauled the black and white eyelet top, and how my high-waisted denim skirt toned down the dressiness of the top making my look casual cool.

Blair is my favorite character in the series because of her sense of style. She loves classic pieces, and she knows how to accessorize in order to update her look. I also noticed that she repeats some pieces, not just the accessories, but even the clothes! She gets away with being an “outfit repeater” because she knows how to mix and match them. Oh! I want to raid her closet! Hmm.. I think that just gave me an idea for my future posts. Watch out for that! :p

xoxo,
Holly

Me, Myself, and I Plus Tin and the Origin of My Miniature Closet


I’m Holly and this blog is told from “my perspective. ” :)


My name is an allusion to Audrey Hepburn’s character in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Holly Golightly. I am a Fashion Fever doll with a Generation Girl face mould (Tin is not quite sure about this, and she would be thankful if someone could confirm or correct this info). I came all the way from the Golden State from Tin’s cousin along with other preloved dolls. Tin restored all of us for her younger cousins to play with, but I caught her eye and she decided to keep me. She swapped my body with another Fashion Fever doll so that my body would have better articulation. :D



I could say that I am the main reason Tin got into collecting and making doll accouterment. My own miniature closet is full of clothes, bags, shoes, jewelry, and other accessories from Vintage to Fashion Fever, from authentic Mattel to Barlina, and from Ebay to DIY. I have an eclectic style and my love for art, music, and film will be reflected on the outfits that I will be wearing and entries that I will be posting here. This blog is inspired by sites like Lookbook and Chictopia, and its name was inspired by the photo above.



Lastly, since Tin decided not to collect other dolls (yet!) and I’m all alone here, I hope you would visit me here in my site and leave greetings or comments while you’re here. They would be very much appreciated.


Thank you for reading this far, good day and be blessed!
