Hotbuys Weekly Review



I'm sure by now most of you have seen this week's Hotbuys - they're inspired by the Prada S/S 2013 collection, which in turn appears to have been inspired by traditional Japanese costumes. There are five pieces as usual:

     

The presentation is wonderful and the items are very well-made and well-designed, but most of the pieces are so unconventional that it would be difficult to find things to go with them. Add that to the prices - which are on the higher side - and for many it may not be worth it.

In my opinion, the bag is the best buy out of all of them. It's unusual and unique, but with its classic colours and sleek design, it's an item that will be a great addition to many outfits. The skirt also could be worth buying; it has a nice design and the print on the ribbon would probably be easy enough to match. The only drawback I see is the super-high waist, as it might be difficult to find shirts that fit under it + also match well. But overall I'm very impressed with the quality of these Hotbuys in comparison to those of previous weeks (although last week's were nice too).

I was also planning to include some styled outfits using the new HBs by people around Stardoll, but I looked for quite a while and could hardly find any! It seems that many people don't like them, or perhaps are simply trying to save their Stardollars for the LE decor that has been hinted at.

What are your opinions on this week's Hotbuys?
