Seen on FM-Style: A trip to Scotland | Cycle 15 - Task 3

Task 3 and we're already travelling, what do you have to say about that ANTM?
Sounds crazy? Not making sense? You just have to pay more attention to FM-Style club or read about what task 3 was about below, cause we're about to get on commenting the results.


Cycle 15 - Task 3: A trip to Scotland
It was a trend back in 2013 and it’s kind of trendy now too! Task 3 in Cycle 15 is about tartan! Go search in your closet for checkered items and make an outfit with them.

One tartan item is enough and you can place it anywhere in the look (accessories, main item…), just make sure it’s VISIBLE.

The Origin.

This task was taken from Task 2 - Cycle 3. The winner of that cycle was the one and only: Amaia (amaia_estebanez)! 

You can check if you want the Imgur Album from that cycle here: Cycle 3 Imgur Album.
It was a very small cycle, with very few participants and so it had fewer tasks. 

For this specific task I wanted to share two outfits two contestants did, and then make a small comparison. You'll see... 😉 I think it's funny how even the quality of the image of the outfits, and even the wigs are so less professional than what we see now! But leaving that behind I do believe that those outfits this two great stylists did are so in even right now, 4-5 years later. Kudos for that stylish members of FM-Style! 💃🏻

⚠️ Ok, warning, this is going to start badly.

Yes, I'm sorry, I have to say it, I was expecting A LOT more. What happened? Is tartan or plaid not inspiring? Is everyone already tired of it? I thought I was going to be amazed by our contestants once more, but it didn't happen, quite the contrary, this week they have let me with a bit of a disappointment feeling. 

My favourite outfit this week it's not even from one of them but from one of the judges, Fede (FedericoMosi). How can you look that elegant while wearing tracksuit pants? And that pink plaid top? I absolutely love it. Plus I have that bag, and the graphics are not very good to be honest, that's why I never use it, and he managed to make it work and look super great in that outfit. Fede's outfit would have got my highest score this week for sure, but since he isn't competing this time...

My highest score went to Yousra (miss.privacy) and the other judges seemed to like it too, making her winner of the week again. She made a really cool combination of two different plaid items and mixed it with white and red details, making her outfit polished, trendy and cool. 

There were other things I liked yes, like the lacey sexyness in Kelly's (kelzsprouse_1) outfit or the risky mix of prints and colours in Kat's (pandaribbon) entry, but that's about it of what I want to comment. My most frequent thought this week, unfortunately, has been "yes, but... that's it?". 

No elimination this week again due to one contestant not completing the task, but that's fine by me, I want all these participants to make me shut up and regret what I have said today. Let's see if the next task (already announced on the club) will be the right one for that!

By the way! On a complete different note... If you want Mireia to also write some reviews make your petition in the comments section with #wewanttoknowmireiasopinion. I'm afraid it's the only thing that will achieve getting her to do it...

Store Statement: Dior Tribute

This is starting to look like the reviews of the Christmas Calendar Mireia used to do... It's almost April and we're still reviewing the Tributes that Christmas holidays brought. At least these clothes are more interesting.

MIREIA'S EDIT: Stop making fun of my Christmas Calendar reviews!! Also, it was not Christmas Calendar (I did my research), it was the Gift-o-meter! And I completed them and I'm proud ;) You can see them here if you're curious: Christmas Gift-O-Meter (2015). And we will complete the Store Statement's from all the Tributes, do not worry.

Time for Dior.

The Collection.

I'm happy with this Tribute. I ended buying just the blue denim jeans cause I didn't have enough stardollars but in my opinion there are various interesting items here. One that seems to have been a total success is the striped shirt with the big sleeves. To be honest I really liked it and wanted to buy it but again I had to be more selective and in the end I went for the jeans. But I've seen a lot of good stylings with this shirt. It's that kind of item that it's simple and kind of a basic but with a cool twist that can really elevate an outfit. 

I also liked the yellow items (that yellow colour it's very cool and pops out easily so can be a great addition to some outfits), the accessories (specially the hats that both look very cute) and the jackets (which all are quite big and perfect for layering in addition of being already cool by themselves).

The Favorites. 

The Outfits.

And as always we finish with our outfits. I feel like I'm saying this a lot lately but honestly, this clothes give you a lot of options for stylings, VERSATILITY!

See you on the next Tribute review! 

Spotted: New LE

Hello everyone! A new LE collection came out on Friday and the fastest and most stylish stardoll members who managed to get their hands on some of the limited items are already wearing it. I thought about doing a Store Statement post but since you are seeing one of those quite regularly lately due to our never ending review of the Christmas Tributes I took advantage of the situation and switched to another section I love: the spotted section!

In the end there's not much to say about LE, it's pretty much the same as always, good designer items, really expensive and probably already sold out when you visit the store. However seeing the amazing outfits some people do with those items never gets old. So here we have Lawliet. with the Balmain inspired opulent sweater, FaintingSpells with the Burberry inspired red oversized coat and leiona_- with the Zuhair Murad inspired long fringe top.

Seen on FM-Style: Your Style Sounds Familiar | Cycle 15 - Task 2

Here we are back again with the review of the second task of Cycle 15, the cycle that is being hosted in FM-Style club in stardoll (click here to join if you haven't yet) to celebrate the 5th year anniversary of the club.

For this task there were 14 contestants competing. As a nice surprise for them there was no elimination. Since last week we lost two contestants, and we have the tasks counted for eliminating only one person at each task, we needed to reestablish the number of contestants, and so, we decided that no one was going to be eliminated this week, although we did not tell them that. ;) Let's keep the competition on!


Cycle 15 - Task 2: Your Style Sounds Familiar
We had a whole special cycle in which each task consisted in IMPERSONATING THE STYLE OF A FAMOUS PERSON. The idea was capturing the essence of that person into a new outfit, not just copying one of the looks that this person had worn at any time. On Cycle 1 there was one task that was essentially the same, just that the contestants were the ones CHOOSING AN IT GIRL instead of us stating who to recreate. And this is what you have to do in this task, to commemorate the first cycle ever hosted and special Cycle 8, called Your Style Sounds Familiar.

- Choose a celebrity/social-media-famous
- Research on the style of the person
- Create a brand new outfit that this person could perfectly wear
- Post your entry on the respective topic and make clear who is the person you chose

The Origin.

This task was taken from Task 5 - Cycle 1 & Cycle 8, Your Style Sounds Familiar. That was an special cycle were contestants needed to recreate the style of some famous persons that we told them week after week. Task 5 on Cycle 1, was a more similar concept to this cycle's task. It was the time were everyone was talking about the IT girl concept, and so, they had to pick one IT girl and create an outfit for them. 

Examples from Cycle 1 are not worth mentioning, remember Cycle 1 was the first, 5 years ago... You can check if you want the Imgur Album here: Cycle 1 Imgur Album.

For Cycle 8 there were amazing outfits. Click here to check the Cycle 8 Imgur Album. Some of our favorites are: 

Green_Eye_Angel (Blake Lively), Kladiaaa (Kate Moss), Kickherout (Jared Leto)

It's me again, Judith. I don't know why Mireia always starts writing the review when she always gets tired before actually commenting on it, but anyway, if anything I should be thankful cause she leaves me all the post prepared and ready for me just to come and comment on what has happened, which is my favourite part!

To be honest this task is one of the least favourites of mine. It's interesting to see who the contestants choose and what they deliver but you don't always like the style of who they choose and that leaves you in the middle of a dilemma: they represented the style good but it's not an outfit you like or you would recommend to imitate. What to do? How to mark? How do we, judges, proceed while remaining impartial? That's why I feel that one of the keys of this task was picking the right person.

And how do you know who is right? You might ask. Obviously our suggestions (see: inspiration Tumblr) are not mandatories and we are fully aware that the chosen one will vary according to the taste and personality of each contestant but I think we both agree it should be someone with a distinctive strong and particular style, otherwise the outfit could be his or hers as much as it could be someone else's and this way you also secure an outfit that will have personality, that won't leave the judges unimpressed.

Some contestants chose wisely and we saw fashion eminencies, artists and great personalities that scored them, along with their styling talent, great results.

My personal favourite this week was our beloved Maurice (kickherout) with her representation of Leandra Medine. Leandra is definitely one of those great picks with a strong and powerful distinctive style and Maurice represented it in a superb way picking all the right items. She delivered an outfit far from simple in which every single detail suits her inspiration. Maybe because of what I have commented about being uncertain how to proceed when judging involves personal taste the rest of the judges didn't think the same as me, and Maurice didn't win this task.

The one who took the first place was Yousra (miss.privacy), who to be honest was another one of my favourites this week, so no hard feelings. She represented Alexandra Carl and brought us a super casual yet super elegant and trendy outfit that screams effortlessly flawless.

And just because I know you're dying to know ;), the other entries I really enjoyed this week were the cool extravagance of Kat (pandaribbon) in the skin of Solange Knowles and the upgrade of Cara Delevingne's style done by Monika (the_chuba).

Next week we will meet again, here in The Stylish Stardoll Sisters, with the contestants personal styles, but if 7 days are too much wait for you, go to our club and follow the new task there!
