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)


The Inspiration.


The Judges' Examples.


The Contestants' Entries.


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!

Sisters' Style: Callie's Picks Silk Blouse


So obviously I'm late for this and this top is not longer available at the Starplaza.

Hi there by the way, It's Judith, I'm still alive and around, even if you've only heard from Mireia lately on The Stylish Stardoll Sisters. Good news, I'll try to post something from time to time so you don't miss me ðŸ˜‰.

Now let's get on with what actually brings me here: Sisters' Style time.

This picture with our two outfits was actually taken on November 2017, yes, I know it's been a year, but I thought it would be a pity to just throw it away so here I am, posting it anyway.

To be honest I think this top is a good purchase. Worth giving it a try and looking for it on the starbazaar I guess, cause it was available for starcoins and it's actually nice and versatile. It has a pinkish shade but it's almost white so it's very easy to combine. Plus, it has some cut outs on the shoulders and transparencies on the bottom that give it a tiny little twist that makes it more interesting.

We could have styled it in a million ways but the sister genes got in the way and we both went for almost all white looks that makes our outfits look quite similar. The styles of each one is the only thing that differs: Mireia's more informal, with ripped jeans and big platform boots, and mine's a little bit more girly with colorful sunnies, heels and a Chanel vibes shoulder bag.

We both decided to match the transparencies in the top with more transparencies too. Mireia used this Antidote bag that looks really cool with the addition of the white clutch inside, and I went for heeled sandals with transparent straps.

As you can see, if this was a game of "find the differences" it would suck, cause other than the style and little details here and there I can't comment on anything else. So I'm going to save your time and stop rambling about nothing.

This is the result guys, go look for the top on the starbazaar and prove everyone how you can style this top in very different ways.

Store Statement: Fendi Tribute

Well, hello there! It's been a while since the last Store Statement. Let me remind you what we were doing in here. We are reviewing all the Tributes that were launched during Christmas 2017. We started with Versace (click here to check it out), and now, as you may have guessed for the tittle, it's time for Fendi!

Fendi came with three new floors. I have to say that at first sight I was not very excited about this Tribute, but when I payed close attention to each item individually I liked a couple of pieces. Let's dive right into it.

Hope you enjoyed this post! 
Come back soon for the next tribute review!!

PS. If anyone is selling the monogram Fendi jacket, please let me know. Since I saw Chiara Ferragni wearing it I'm regretting every day not buying it when the Tribute was available. 

EDIT: I FOUND IT on the Starbazaar! This is the outfit I made with it:
