Hit or Miss: Windows on the World and LE Summer 2012

Finally, a new LE collection! I've been waiting forever for this.

I'm sure that was most of our reactions when we all received the advertisement in our mailboxes when we logged on today. So, being the ultimate shopper that I am, I went to go check it out. And there I am, practically salivating as my screen loads the first floor of the new Limited Edition Summer items. Now, mind you, at this point I was expecting diamonds or something, so it was a huge disappointment to find that the outfits were tacky-looking, chintzy, and full of ruffles and weird patterns that I could care less about.

See, with LE items, it's either a hit or a miss. This was a miss.

Honestly, it was incredibly difficult to figure out what the theme was, if there was one at all. Stardoll has certainly been getting lazy and rather un-creative in regards to these rare "Limited Edition" items. I mean, they expect to wow us with a plain, unadorned purple sunhat? the very same one in a different color and more textured than the free Rebecca BonBon red sunhat they gave out in a free promotion a few months ago? They're limited because they must be good, but these were a complete failure. But I'll give them a little credit, at least. Finally they put some mens' clothing in, which sold out in the first thirty minutes. And the LE earrings were nice, as well. But my favorite pieces in this collection would be Circus Tent Pants and the Lace Me Shorts. Both were very versatile and a staple in many virtual closets. That's all I really have to say about this average collection. I've seen worse LE (last month's hideous collection), so it wasn't terrible.

Another hideous collection that added to the rue of my day was the Windows on the World: France collection. I hardly read the advertisement (my own fault), and so I was yet again sorely disappointed. I was expecting haute couture and fancy and big and grand. But what I got was far from haute couture, fancy, big, and grand. Instead, there were five boring dresses with barely a name to them.

The first fuzzy blue monstrosity I passed without so much as a glance, but the two dresses that caught my scrutinizing gaze were the Verdi Dress and the Eiffel Dress, both that were very elegant and outgoing, with some sort of subtlety. I'm on the fence with the Louvre, though.

I seriously hope Stardoll makes up for these boring collections in some other form.
