Giving my opinion: Callie's Picks, ¿yes or no?

Giving my opinion is a new section in the blog. I just talk about Stardoll issues and give my own point of view, agreeing or disagreeing.

VOTE IN POLL next "Giving my opinion" ---->

So today I'll talk about Callie's Picks (one of the most polemic stores in Starplaza!)

I've been in Stardoll since 2007, that's a lot (I feel really old haha). And in this time I've seen many changes in the web and specially in the stores.

One of those changes was Archive, a store that brought old items that were already out of stock back to Starplaza. 

Basically the same as Callie's Picks does nowdays, but the difference is that the items' store was renamed (for example, a Pretty'n Love skirt was no longer from Pretty'n Love and became an Archive skirt).

As far as I can remember, people didn't give much importance to the fact that some items were back in stores because in those days brands like DKNY were the really interesting ones (that's at least my point of view).

Few years after, Archive dissapears and items got more and more value. And then appears Callie's Picks, bringing back old (really old) items, casually including rare items in each collection.

My opinion:

The GOOD POINT is that items don't change their store. A Callie's item is a Callie's items. Why is that a good point? Because original and new items can be differenced, and old ones can keep their value.

These are my fave items from Callie's Picks (because they were practically impossible to find):

The BAD POINT is that they're not exclusive anymore and low prices, which is a bit unfair for dolls that have been in Stardoll for years and had paid really high prices for them.

These are some of the items I didn't want to be on Callie's (these are only some of them):

The brown bandana, for example, was being sold in Starbazaar for 600sd, but after being on Callie's Picks, it's being sold for 6-40sd. 

It's true that it gives the opportunity to everyone to buy some clothes that were difficult to get, but that's in part what it's about, isn't it?

Of course, this is just my opinion, and I personally like looking for old items and collecting them (well, some of them). 

To sum up, I wouldn't mind if Callie's Picks would dissapear someday haha! (even if my Callie's items in closet dissapear).

So, what do you think? Callie's Picks, YES or NO?


I would appreciate if you vote in the poll (top right corner of the page, anonymous) and comment if you like these kind of posts.

Shopaholic: Callie's Picks Nº 55

I know I'm a bit late, but I bring you a post about the Callie's Picks Nº 55. It was a Christmas collection where I (and most of people in Stardoll) bought the "Mary Kate Fur". 

The original fur, one of the most wanted and difficult items to find. So I think Callie's Picks made us a favour getting it back to ours stores haha

So today's post is about it, I bring you three outfits using this fur. And I have to say that all of them are pretty elegant, but it can also go well in a street casual look.

There's a new Callie's Picks collection called "Faux Fur". I bought the Jacket 2 and I wanted to use it, so today's outfit is a casual comfy winter look.

The base are these striped wool pants, that give a hippie touch to the look, combining with the style of the round glasses. 

As the pants are a bit wide, I think the best option is adding some high platforms. In every winter outfit, you must wear warm garments, so in this case I add a a jacket and a coat over it.

Finally, a nude make-up and the natural hair complete this casual look.

The new Callie's Picks' collection, called "Pink Ribbon", has some interesting items, although it's not one of my favourite ones.

These are the items I bought and some outfits combining them:
