HotBuys Glitter Dress Released!

Today HotBuys Glitter Dress was released, and I have to say, I couldn't be more disappointed. Let's just say we were waiting for what could've been one of the best LBD on Stardoll ever, and instead of that we got a cheap imitation of it, and for the extremely high price of 25sd. Take a look at it on the official HotBuys' page:

It's perfect righ? Full of glitter and with a great quality. And even when they chose the dress as the "Pick of the day" it still looks fabulous.

But on StarPlaza it looks a lot different than that. As I said, a cheap version of the nice dress. And for those who don't know, Stardoll did that before with some items such as the Skyscraper dress by DKNY.

I think Mel (bluegreen86) was right when she said:  "It is hard to make the dress look flexible and wear it many ways, and there isn't really any point in trying because there isn't anything that wonderful about it." When she chose it as one of her least favourite HBs.

Either way I created an outfit to show you how it looks like.

And the real life version of it is inspired by Moschino Cheap & Chic.

What do you think of that? Are you buying it? Do you think Stardoll has the right to show us something and sell another?

HotBuys Mesh T-Shirt Released!

Today HotBuys Mesh T-Shirt was released. It costs 14sd and can be bought on Pretty n' Love store. I really like it but I don't know if the price's worthy. I mean 14sd for a top is extremey overpriced, as most as the HBs this month. I created a simple outfit to show how they look like:

On my outfit: Cribes Kefia Scarf by Miss Sixty (12sd), Open Silver Zipper Jkt by Miss Sixty (20sd), Pastel Bustier Top by Rio (40sc), High Wait Pants by Bonjour Bizou (50sc), Hingroad Pochette by Miss Sixty (18sd) and Pink Ballerina Slippers by Pretty in Love JC Penny (50sc) .

The real life version of it's mint green and it's by Missoni

"I just think this shirt has so much potential to be used wisely on so many different users" - Bluegreen86

What do you think of the top? Will you buy it?

HotBuys Fur Coat Released!

Yesterday the HotBuys Faux Fur Coat was released, and I have to say, it looks amazingly well made! Even though it's way overpriced you can consider buying it if you really love, because totally worths it. I mean, we all buy expensive LEs with a lower quality. It costs 24sd and can be found on Rio store. Today I'm not the one who created an outfit to show you how it looks like. I asked my dear friend, and one of my biggest fashion icons, Chris (sevillana94) to do that, and doesn't she look fierce?

On Chris: Purple Faux Fur Stole by Gucci (14sd), Purple Pom Pom Scarf by Gucci (10sd), Metallic Panel Top by Dior (26sd), Sheer Silk Top by Bonjour Bizou (7sd), Cuffed Texture Trousers by Roberto Cavalli (16sd), Pink Buckle Belt by Preety n' Love (40sc), Printed Zig Zag Purse by LE and High Heel Pumps by Miss Sixty (12sd).

The real life version of the coat is by Missoni:

"I simply adore this coat and I think it can be worn in a variety of different ways and in a variety of different styles" - Bluegreen86

So, what do you think about it? Are you buying?

HotBuys Hat Released!

Today HotBuys Hat was released. It costs 13sd and can be bought on Rio store. I'm not so sure if I like them, the quality is great, but I found it so hard to match with the hair styles, and I tried a lot. And also VERY hard to find an outfit to show you how nice it would like. I'd like to quote my dearest Mel (Bluegreen86) here: "THINK BEFORE YOU BUY! If a Hot Buys item doesn't look that great on you, it isn't a crime to not buy it! Do not get so caught up in the hype of it all, buy items you actually like!... especially for the Hot Buys Faux Fur Hat (this hat can go either way, so make sure you can pull it off!)" And she's right, let's stop giving our expensive stardollars to Stardoll for nothing. That's what turned LE in what it is today! And I have to say, this hat's quality looks way much better than a LOT of LEs

On me: Chiffon Daisies Blouse by Stardoll (12sd), Emerald Rose Belt by Bonjour Bizou (43sc), Gold Embroidered Blush Skirt by Rio (10sd) and Oyster Satin Pumps by WOW (54sc).

What do you think of the hat? Will you buy it?

I couldn't find the real life version of it, I believe is somewhere between Fall 2011 Fashion Shows. If you find, please let me know.

UPDATE: The hat is inspired by Moschino Cheap & Chic.

HotBuys Sunglasses Released!

Today HotBuys Sunglasses were released. They cost 13sd and can be bought on Spectacular store. I love them. The tortoise pattern is really glamorous and the shape makes them versatile. They cost 13sd,  I think it's a reasonable price. I created a simple outfit to show how they look like:

On my outfit: Tangerine Long Blazer by WOW (15sd), Little White Dress by DvF (20sd), Bronze Armor Belt by Riviera (5sd), Basic Black Bra by Stardoll (10sc), Zebra Stripe Clutch by Rio (57sc), Shanghai Ring by Epiphany (12sd), Mary Kate Gold Heels by Young Hollywood (still avaible, 40sd).

What do you think of the glasses? Will you buy them?

We couldn't find the brand or a real life picture of it. If you do, please contact me.

HotBuys Shorts Released!

Today HotBuys Shorts, inspired by Topshop, were released. They cost 17sd and can be bought on Evil Panda store. I think they're quite expensive for a pair of shorts. I even created an outfit to show you one of the many ways to wear them.

On my outfit: Heart Print Tee by Killah (18sd), Double Pearl Bracelet by Epiphany (20sd), PnL Mint Purse by Stardoll (52sc) and Wedge Sandal by Voile (40sc)

Here's the real life version of the shorts by Topshop.

What do you think of them? Are you buying?

New Year, New Blog!

Hi everyone, this is Marcela (.Marcela..), the owner of the blog, and first of all I would like to wish you a very very HAPPY NEW YEAR, may all your dreams come true! This year wasn't the best year for Hot Buys Addicted, as some of you know, I was hacked and the original blog, with more than 1000 followers, was stolen by Reece (mizzmileycyrus9). Anyway, thanks to you, followers, I could creat a new successfull blog, with already 350 followers. And I have a great feeling for 2012. So let's go straight to the news. I have new ideas for the blog to help increase it's number of followers and also make it more interactive.

PAGES:
Ever since this blog was created, we had nothing more than the real life version of the HotBuys posted on a simple page. This year we have new pages, to fit the new categories.

REAL LIFE VERSIONS:
Nothing will change on this category, except for the fact that it will not be displayed on the 1st page of the blog as it used to be, since I'll post more things. Now the Real Life Versions will have it's own page.

HOT BUYS REVIEWS:
Every month I'll ask a known member to give their review on the month's Hot Buys.

NEWS:
I'll post daily every news related to HotBuys.

DAILY LOOKS: 
I'll feature here on the blog one look per day of someone wearing a Hot Buys. It can be anything, an accessory or a piece of garment, and it doesn't matter the month of it, you can choose either from the 1st month to the current one. On the last day of the month, I'll create a poll and you will choose the best of the month. The winner will win 50sd or 500sc. To apply for this category all you have to do is tell me on my GB that you're wearing a HotBuy.

COMPETITIONS:
During the month I'll try to develop new competitions with some current news. For exemple, next month we'll have the Carnaval here in Brazil, so I'll ask you to wear a Carnaval outfit with HotBuys.

SELL AND TRADE:
This page will be for you to announce if you're selling or trading a HotBuys, or even if you're looking for a HotBuy. It will have nothing but a comment box. Everyone who announce anything other than HBs will have their comment deleted and will be banned from announcing here.

ADVERTISING:
As you've probably seen, I have put some advertisings from Google Ads here in the blog. So whenever you can, please click on them so I can use the money to buy Stardollars and Hot Buys to use as gifts on the competitions. It takes less than 2 seconds to help ;)

That's it, I hope you like the news.
.Marcela..
