Seen on FM-Style: Cycle 16
It just didn't seem fair that we've had a whole new cycle at FM-Style and said no word about it here... I'm bringing you Cycle 16's most fashionable moments.
After our 5th Year Anniversary celebration with Cycle 15, where all tasks were selected from previous cycles, we went back to our regular way of functioning. We had 10 brand new tasks planned plus the semifinal and final for Cycle 16 and we were all ready to be impressed.
The cycle started with 16 contestants. Since we had had fewer auditions this time, we decided to let everybody in, and it was one of those quality over quantity situations, because the 16 participants of Cycle 16 were ALL really good. However, on the first task: You're So White, the one who impressed me the most was actually one of the judges: janetteLow.
The task was about creating a winter outfit using white jeans, which can be tricky and some might consider tacky, but between pearls and dots she managed to stay trendy and elegant.
Task 2: It's called "climate change", might have been the one that brought the most good outfits. There weren't many requirements, and maybe that helped, but how can you ignore all of these wonders?!
The contestants (and judges creating examples) were divided into two teams: WARM & COLD, and they had to stick to their teams when it comes to colour palette for creating the outfits.
On the ice cold side we have amaia_estebanez, Lawliet. and janetteLow, while on the super hot side we have Serqet and Marta-43. All of them made use of multiple layers and a wide variety of tones without getting out of their colour restriction team. Maybe that was the magic formula for the task because in my opinion these were definitely the best outfits.
I already talked and shared some Task 3: Face it, you sock, outfits HERE, so not going to repeat myself. In case you didn't guess it, it was about socks, same theme as the Shopping post I just linked. Obsessed much, Judith?
Task 4: Oh, this old thing?, took place right after the ceremony of the Oscars so we took that opportunity to make the contestants recreate some Academy Awards gala outfits into a street style stardoll version. It wasn't easy but...
They never disappoint.
Dobrapogoda's outfit was inspired by a pink tulle gown worn by Kacey Musgraves. She recreated perfectly the tulle frills and kept it casual by using sneakers and a more neutral colour.
Marta32222 emulated the Breakfast at Tiffany's elegance of Lady Gaga's look recreating her gown as a suit.
Both showed an amazing attention to detail with these looks, that without being the exact same thing, totally remind you of the original version.
Honestly, I love a good task involving colours so I made it Task 5's: You've been (colour)blocked from this cycle, main theme.
Contestants had to create an outfit that looked good with a specific colour from a given list in the background and we can say that Pantone would be satisfied.
My favourites were the earth tones in Serqet's entry and the contrast between bright and matte colours in the_chuba's.
With Task 6: When you don't agree with the Terms & Conditions, we brought a little bit of humor to the competition. An opportunity to behave badly, to be crazy, or, as the task description explained, to be inappropriate. I'm not going to share the outfits, they shouldn't be put out of context because that is exactly what makes them fun, but you can check them all out (as well as all the other outfits for all the other tasks) in HERE.
Just to feed your curiosity a little bit I will say we saw both a very dark outfit for a bride and a white outfit for a wedding attendee.
Moving on... I never have been a sports fan but I reconsidered with Task 7: This year I'm quitting the gym. If I say outfits based on the specific gear for specific sports would you imagine something as cool as this?
Nope? Okay, that makes two of us.
Marta-43 with her sexy bra moment as a boxer, miss dressy skiing pants Marta32222 and the_chuba as a very professional basketball player, sponsorship by Pringles included, definitely made an impression.
But If I had to pick the most difficult task, or at least the most annoying, out of the whole cycle, the prize would definitely go to Task 8: Break up with your fav items, I'm bored. Mireia and I went through all the remaining contestants closets' last pages, the ones with all the items you never wear, looking for that hideous thing impossible to style and yes, we made them wear it.
And honestly, I was really impressed and extremely satisfied with all the entries, but these two were definitely among the best and they just looked so good together (hehehe).
janetteLow and Lawliet., both managed to style a pair of hideous animal print leggings and a difficult zebra dress with yellow tones, high heels and mini-bags.
And if you liked Task 6, meet its relative, Task 9: Graduation starter pack, where we gave funny titles like: Most likely to become a "cool mum", interpreted and portrayed perfectly by our beloved judge Marta-43.
Again, really funny entries here.
I will add the link to the CYCLE 16 ALBUM again.
You're welcome.
We're getting to the end of the cycle, last task before the semifinals in fact, so Task 10: Not your average influencer was not going to give the contestants a break. This time, they needed to make uninteresting and unattractive products desirable by accompanying them with the coolest outfit.

In order of appearance: dobrapogoda's, Lawliet.
And well, I absolutely hate pickles but have they always looked this slimy and cool or is it just dobrapogoda's outfit? And what about trashbags? I mean who know what's in the inside, but after seeing Lawliet.'s entry you can't deny they at least have an interesting appearance. No surprise they both ended up going into the semifinal, for which they had to create, as always, not one, but two outfits under the title I'm new collection, you're fifty percent off.
An outfit that belonged to the "new collection", meaning trendy, and an outfit that deserved a discount tag, meaning forgotten trends. The new collection one presented less difficulty but how to make the other one look not decent, but still amazing? Here I present you the answer.
marta32222's take on bohemian clothes is something that definitely reminds me of the past and that I wouldn't want to wear now, but I can't help looking at her outfit and still be impressed by it.
And so they were three: marta32222, Lawliet. and dobrapogoda the three finalists of cycle 16, and in the Final: For the throne, they had to present us a year worth of fashion. 5 outfits, each of them representing a month in the calendar.
For this final task it was more than just outfits though, the presentation of the task, theme followed and whole appeal of the five outfits as a group could make the difference between the winner and the finalists. And that's exactly what happened. Dobrapogoda's entry was the best as a whole even though that my favourite outfits were the ones that Lawliet. presented for July, April and September.
And with this, Cycle 16 ended, leaving us, as always, looking forward for more.

Shopping: Socks
Wow. What is happening? I feel my fingers getting weird... I have a strange feeling in my stomach. Do you also see what I'm seeing?
Yes. I, Judith, am writing again on the blog.
I know, crazy. How long it's been? I'm actually going to check, I'm curious. BRB.
Okay, since August 2018... That's bad... I'm sorry. I would say I am going to try to write again more on the blog but I would be lying so... I won't say anything, won't compromise to anything and just get on with this post smoothly, as if nothing strange had happened.
This is completely normal. Just keep going.
SO! Back with another shopping post!
I've had this crazy obsession with socks on real life lately. I love a good pair of socks, they're so much fun, they're cheap and they bring an original vibe to your outfit. In real life they are perfect for spicing things up without having to invest a lot in cool or trendy clothes, but in stardoll are they really necessary? We have bigger closets, with a lot more clothes and a lot more of special extravagant items that make a statement just by themselves, why would we need a pair of socks?
Well, it's true, we don't really NEED them in stardoll, but they are still fun and they still look cute. And if you don't agree, hopefully I can make you change your mind after this post.
The offer of socks in Starplaza is... Mmm... What can I say? It could be better. I mean, if you go to the catalogue and check the number of items under the category "Socks" it's just 47. Take off some pairs from Antidote that you cannot longer buy and the ones for male dolls that you're not going to be able to use and you're left with a not that wide variety to choose from if you want to be picky. And the designs are all quite similar, we can count the special different ones with the fingers of one hand. But still, if you are a sock-lover like me you will still be able to find some good pairs for not a very high price. This is my selection.

If you are a member of FM-Style and have been following Cycle 16 you may know already about my love for socks, since we made a task from it. If you're not a member I don't know what you're waiting for to join to be honest...
(click on the image)
We are about to post task 7 and we've got very cool and fun tasks ahead.
But back to socks, the thing is they can be the detail that makes your outfit go from cool to WOW. And the contestants proved it giving us entries like these ones:
In order of appearance: Roose (ClemenceMoss), judge Marta (Marta-43), Sandra (dobrapogoda) and Seda (Serqet).
I don't think I can make a better job than them, but I guess that for it to be a decent Shopping post I should put a little effort and bring you some outfits, plus it can be a nice opportunity to show you some socks I own from previous collections in Stardoll.
So here, doing my duty, I present you my three takes on socks.
1. The Gossip Girl school uniform.
Doesn't this kind of long socks with the stripes on top remind you of Blair and Serena wearing their uniforms to school in their own styles with their heels or boots, designer bags and headbands?
Spotted on the stardoll blogosphere.
Headed towards TheSSS.
Is it possible?
Is Judith_25 back?
The show might be a bit old, but its style and fashion still remains and with the right items you can still manage to look as cool as their stars.
2. The Sporty Spice.
The sport vibes with socks come as easily as the school uniform. They go perfectly with sneakers, in fact, sneakers+socks are one of my favourite combinations. They make each other better, like a good marriage. It's like if one sock said to the other:
If you wanna be my lover
You gotta get with my friends
*points sneakers*
Because the joke might be bad but it's completely true: sneakers look better with socks, a pair of socks looks better with sneakers.
3. The 21st century Cinderella.
If Cinderella had worn socks with her crystal shoes to the ball with the prince, maybe she would still have lost a shoe, but she would have looked a lot cooler for sure.
I love as well a more fancy take on socks, combining them with all kind of heels, stilettos, sandals... you name it! And honestly I think mixing them with transparent shoes is great, you can barely see the shoes so the socks get all the attention.
What do you think of socks? Do you like them? Do you use them?
Feel free to share your takes on socks with us on the comments section!
If I feel creative enough I might give them a little tittle ;)
