Style Wars: Ripped Blue Jeans

A few days ago one of our readers told us that Style Wars was their favourite section. Since we heard we've been trying to put together a new battle. It took us some time to find the right outfits but it's finally here!

Mireia & Judith

Well Mireia, I think this will be a good one to debate. The four outfits are really casual and cool but very different at the same time. Not a surprise though, you can wear ripped blue jeans with anything, but anyway, I'm sure we both have our preferences and some things to comment. Definitely! I don't know who are you gonna chose as a winner before hearing my arguments, but I think there's so many options in here and all of them are so good that I don't know if it will be easy to get to a final decision. But, let's start and see! What do you have to say Judith? 

For the moment I agree with you Mireia, I don't think it's going to be easy to get to a final decision, that's why I think the best way to approach this is by elimination. I know for a fact that minaj131's outfit it's not going to make it for me. It's not that I don't like it, I think it's quite cool, but that kind of suitcase as a bag doesn't convince me at all. I like how all the patterns and items (other than the jeans) are super colour coordinated, but that bag... Definitely a bad choice for me.  There's something more that puts me off and I'm not certain of what it is. Maybe you can express it Mireia? What do you think of minaj131's outfit? Would it be the outfit that you eliminate first too?

I think you already just heard me loling! I just started to read your opinions, and I was agreeing with you about the "let's start eliminating instead of choosing our favorite", until I read that you're eliminating my actual favorite. I like all the outfits actually, but minaj131 has something special with the color combination, everything looks very coordinated, I love it. I'm not sure about the bag either, but looks edgy and different, so I pass it. I would have eliminated SarahVIP though. I don't know, her outfit doesn't look bad, but I like top part and bottom part, just that... separated. Blue shoes and black bag? Not for me. And the coat with those jeans... not sure it convinces me either. So... what should we do next? This is too funny to be true! Still can't believe that my favorite is the one you want to eliminate first. Don't you agree a little bit with me about SarahVIP though? 

Hahahahha let's leave for a moment minaj131's outfit then and if necessary we will discuss it again further. About SarahVIP, when I saw her outfit I was surprised cause I would have never thought of putting those items together. As you said the combination of that coat with those jeans it's unsual and I quite like it. I think her outfit looks effortlessly cool which is a great characteristic that it's not very easy to achieve. Now that I've read your opinion about it I can't help but feeling that is lacking something. I guess I love the style, that casual cool vibe, but if you look deeper the combination of items it's not that good. Before eliminating her though, I would like to point out her outfit it's the one that looks more different from all the others, which are a little bit sporty while hers it's not. That said, bye bye to SarahVIP. Byeeee! :) That leaves us with jufashionista4 and lenas. Let's go for it!

I love the man's sweater lenas used for her outfit, I used it too for styling a HotBuys and I love how it looks. However, looking at the whole outfit I prefer jufashionista4. The combination of items she has gone for may seem more obvious but I just love the final result. The vibrant red colour gives life to the outfit; the white turtleneck looks perfect in shape, colour and style for the coat and matches perfectly with sunglasses and sneakers; the ripped jeans go with the casual sporty vibe and it's colour accentuates the red of the coat and finally the black bag, I would usually think that is out of place between all that white, but nope! Maybe it's because the black shades of the sunglasses but looks great and adds this (sorry for using again this expression) effortlessly vibe, as if she didn't care too much about matching her clothes. So I think it's pretty obvious who do I want to win, unless you convince me of the opposite.

I'm super sorry but I have to disagree again with you. I'm getting sleepy here, and should end this as soon as possible, but! I don't like how the black bag looks on jufashionista4. I agree with the rest of the outfit, but I think it's too easy. It's what I would have pulled out if I had all these items around there. It's too easy: white tee, denim ripped jeans, sneakers and what is for me the trend of this winter: a big oversized winter jacket. The only thing she had to do was to add some accessories. The sunglasses are ok, but that bag? I don't like it! I prefer minaj131 suitcase than this bag. On the other hand, I like how in lenas' outfit everything gives you a masculine touch but casual at the same time, so over the two of them I prefer lenas. It's more different and elaborated somehow. 

After a quick deep look again at the outfits... Omg, now I'm doubting of everything in life? It's the Earth still round? I'm now liking SarahVIP's outfit, because it certainly looks different and (your favorite expression is coming) effortless! 

Okay, yes! I'm changing my mind. Let's eliminate minaj131 (that was your choice), and instead of eliminating SarahVIP as my choice, I would like to take out of the picture jufashionista4. There's nothing surprising for me in that outfit even if it looks cool enough. 

Ok, one for one I guess. What do we do know? Should we end this in a tie between lenas and SarahVIP, cause I would definitely vote for SarahVIP and I'm guessing you'll vote for lenas and we would keep arguing without getting anywhere.

Humm... I don't like ties... What if we put a score 1 to 10 to each and see who has the higher average score? 

Let's do it!
jufashionista4: 8.5 + 6 = 14.5/20 = 7.25
lenas: 8 + 8 = 16/20 = 8
minaj131: 7 + 7 =14/20 = 7
SarahVIP: 8.5 + 7 = 15.5/20 = 7.75

We better finish this soon as you laptop is in less than 5% battery and no signs of a charger plugged in! I will let you do the honors since is your choice that is winning... Go ahead sister! 

Pay more attention sis, it wasn't my choice ahhahahaha! But anyway, the winner is... lenas!! 
Oh wow yes! Sorry... I was looking at the sevens... CONGRATULATIONS lenas! 

Splendorous: Favourite Tress Up's Picks

Hi everyone! Some time ago Tress Up released a new collection with a lot of nice hairstyles based on the Stardesign creations of some talented dolls. I wanted to do this post for quite a while but it took me longer than expected getting the right outfits for this. The thing is that even if most of the time we give more importance to the outfit and keep the same hairstyle, a good hair can make an outfit stand out more so it's always important to have our beautiful manes in mind. Bellow I present you my three favourite new Tress Up hairstyles and some outfits I've found that are definitely perfect for them.

 

MUNCHKIN_XD Hairstyle

Definitely the biggest success in sales out of all the new hairstyles if you ask me. While I was looking for all these outfits I found loads with this one, I even had to eliminate some as I couldn't share them all. Not that we didn't know about the incredibly talented MUNCHKIN_XD cause we have already featured some of her wigs here, in the blog. Anyway, this hairstyle is perfectly made in terms of quality, looks good in any colour, is very fashionable and trendy and it's shape is perfect as leaves free and uncovered space for the outfit.
ADVANTAGES: Instant trendiness to the outfit + no parts of the outfit hidden.
DISADVANTAGES: Leaves neck and ears completely uncovered so you might want to start to think about jewelry (although this might be and advantage for jewels lovers...).
LOOKS (in order of appearance): hippchick2011, Mikatsi, TAYLOR029, Balenciaga.

Evanedas Hairstyle

I don't have official numbers, I'm saying this based on my personal research experience, but I would say that this one is the second most saled. I think it's really versatile cause it can look very glamorous but at the same time it looks a little bit messy, not too well combed so it can work for both smart and casual looks. The only problem I have with this one is the lighter shade it has on the front. It looks really good with some hair colours but a little awkward with others, in my opinion. I do think that the original is still worth it even with the Tress Up version on sale as it combines black, brown and blonde shades in a unique way, thing that you can't achieve with the one available at Starplaza.

ADVANTAGES: Versatility.
DISADVANTAGES: Careful with the light parts!
LOOKS (in order of appearance): bey22304, Arany.Cica, gkmktk, MissdollyTiara

Aniratac15 Hairstyle

This is the one I have bought for now (my sister and I are still debating about who buys the first hairstyle and I do want as well DeSerekFifoxx hairstyle). If I had to put a name to Aniratac15's hairstyle I would call it the Instagram hair. It's the kind of hair that would be all over Tumblr and Instagram, long, messy in a sexy way, straight but with a cute waviness that adds volume and with nice highlights. I do have to say that those highlights look better in some colours than in others though but it never looks too bad.
ADVANTAGES: Casual model off duty vibe.
DISADVANTAGES: Quite bulky on the top part (say bye bye to hats).
LOOKS (in order of appearance): LadyMavii, Lulluplix, xCookie, SarahVIP

Finally, in case I haven't featured YOUR favourite hairstyle, here I leave you a few more outfits with others of the new hairs that of course are as well on point! ;)

In order of appearance: fearstar, Marta-43, savas.lt

Store Statement: Chanel Tribute

Finally! Here's how the two floors look like:

Ok, so prizes are the usual tribute prizes, not like Dior or Fendi, that were a little more expensive, but as all the Chanel Tributes we have more or less. Accessories are around 15 sd, bags around 27, clothes around 30... Not bad.

So, I'm glad I don't fell in love with all the store, cause that would have turned up in bankrupt. I selected all the pieces I liked, some of them where different on my doll than what I would have liked, and others simply weren't of my taste. I made a selection, I like buying only the items I like most, not only for the money, but because it's more special that way. I spend around 150 sd, between the items I will show you next, and a surprise I got for my beloved sister that I hope she likes it.

I've been looking around dollyworld and I have t say it was very easy to find this 3 gorgeous dolls wearing Chanel in such cool ways. Let me introduce you...
