Street Style

Some Advertising: yulissahermosa

Hello everyone!
I wanted to share with you today one of the talents of one of our current contestants on FM-Style (Cycle 11): yulissahermosa

The first day I "discovered" this doll, I was not only amazed by the style of Felipe, but also for the magnifique creations he had displayed on his suite. 

I immediately bought the Audrey Hepburn painting, even if I don't usually decorate my suite, then invited him to join our club and I'm so happy he joined and that he is competing now among others. There's also on sale an incredible David Bowie painting. 

But well, the thing is that the other day, when I came visit again, I saw MORE. And I was even more amazed. Just check what he is capable of, creating iconic paintings into sweaters... amazing! Have a look for yourselves. 

René Magritte - The Son Of The Man (1964); Salvador Dalí - The Persistence Of Memory (1931); Edvard Munch - The Scream (1893).

Salvador Dalí has always been one of my favorite artists, for his creativity and good way of doing things, maybe a little for his weirdness as well. So, when I saw this new addition to yulissahermosa's designs... I could not resist myself, and I bought it. This is the outfit I did with it. 

I can not forget that day for Carnival when I was at school where all the class was wearing costumes of "melted clocks" in honor to that painting: The Persistence of Memory. Just that now, I'm wearing a more fashionable and precise "melted clock". Thank you so much yulissahermosa! 

Store Statement: Bonjour Bizou

Today, stardoll surprised us (at least me) with a new Bonjour Bizou collection. I personally like this store. It's not there since the beginning, and when they launched it, it was called just Bizou. It has always had a vintage touch, but I think it had that essence way more when it started that now. Anyway, this is how the new "floor" looks like.

Prizes are OK (well, if you compare them with the prizes of 2007 is clearly super expensive), appropriate for a Bonjour Bizou collection. Graphics are nice. Clothes are pretty good. My personal favorites are some pieces that are actually very basic. I never have enough white tops, like never. When I'm creating outfits I always end up searching for white tops/shirts/blouses to finish it. Grey suit pants can be very useful, so it is the wool high waisted skirt. The only thing that has more personality is that inspired by Missoni dress that I find quite nice. The disadvantage? It's only for superstars.

To finish this post, I want to share with you some outfits of super stylish dollies wearing pieces from these new additions to Starplaza.

Splendorous: All about red

On Saturday a new collection of Dot came out with new items in different shades of red (Perfect Burgundy, Bright Spark Red, Darkest Burgundy and Red Velvet). Mireia, did a post some time ago about different uses of red lipstick (you can check it out HERE), so I thought I could do something new: try the new items on my doll and give you an honest opinion about them.

So there are some items that are completely useless for me, like the eyebrow pencils (cause there's no possible way I can think of making red eyebrows look good) or the mascaras (I don't know why they keep launching mascaras in different colours, black always looks better). I'm not a fan either of lip pencils but if you use them with the exact same color of lipstick they can give the impression of fuller lips, so at least they have a positive function.

For the other items I decided to be open-minded and give them a chance. I tried them on two different make ups and decided to leave all my thoughts written so you can skip the little investigation and move directly to the part in which you decide to buy or not. 

MAKE UP 1: Goth Glamour

Thoughts:

- The new blushes are definitely not for me. I'm more into a natural look with neutral colours of blushes that only enhance your features but with all these different shades of red it's really bright. I picked the lightest one and I still had to repeat the correct move so I didn't look like if I had been punched on both sides of the face. Obviously after this result I completely dismissed the idea of trying with two layers of blush. 

- The different shades combined as eyeshadow look really cool, like something in between natural but fierce (and they are easy to use).

- Dark lipstick looks great.

MAKE UP 2: Vampire Softness

Thoughts:

- Bloodshot eyes can look original and cool.

- Eyeliner and eye pencils in different colours (other than black and white) look really interesting and extravagant.

- Goodbye to the bright red lipstick, darker tones look much better. 

- Stick to the neutrals for the blush, they're easier to apply, look more natural and basically they're prettier. 

Shopping: Christmas Gift-O-Meter (4/10)

Today is time to show you the fourth part of the Christmas Gift-o-meter. I don't want to bore you with this past Christmas thing, but as the clothes are still there and I want to finish this section I will continue doing it until the end. Hope you enjoy it!

For the 4th prize of the Gift-o-meter, we had to spend at least 60 SD. Then we got this beautiful jumpsuit, that despite is not ugly, I would have liked it even more if they had given us the pieces separately so we could combine them in any way we want. We still can do that, but it's more difficult because we have to cover other parts. 

So, covering the bottom part is almost impossible. You could only use wide leg pants (that have to be also very long, as the original jumpsuit) or a really long skirt. Oh, and it also has to be high-waisted. That being said, let me say that I've tried. Really hard. With almost all my entire wardrobe. I wanted to cover the pants and use the top, but it has not been possible. Then, I decided to create outfits from very different styles. The first outfit is a swede inspired one (like Task 3 from FM-Style), very sporty, very comfy, but elegant at the same time. For the second and third outfit I decided to go for really elegant outfits, to attend a fancy dinner or even a gala if you have a slutty-power-lesbian style as Jennifer Lawrence would say. On the second I covered the top part of the jumpsuit with some Underneath Stardoll pieces, and for the third one I used the jumpsuit as it is. Last but not least, for the forth outfit (there's an extra one this time, yay!) I used what Judith is wearing right now (thank you sis for making easier my job), which is something in the middle, more elegant than the first one, but less than the other two. A smart street style look. Hope you like them all! You can comment your favorite on the comments. ;)
