Seen on FM-Style: Starving


I didn't know I was starving until I... joined FM-Style ;) 

Hello, hello everyone! And here we are again! Another week, another review on this blog about our favorite club: FM-Style. Am I allowed to say that...? Anyway, this time the task was very tasty. Why, you may ask? Because it was all about creating an outfit inspired by food. As always, they could not forget the fashion part and in my opinion, Judith submitted the perfect example. Just look at that red velvet cake and those red velvet boots. 😍😍😍
JUDITH'S EDIT: Wow that's really nice sis! Thanks for featuring my example! :) But what are you doing here? It was my turn to do the review... Well since you're so eager to do it I'm going to let you finish.


But we're not here to talk about Judith. Judith is always here. (JUDITH'S EDIT: I am. Literally) By the way, have you seen the last post she did? I loved it! And if you want her to do more of those you just have to show some love on the post. It's a "possible" new section called: Starcoin Treasures, and the first post is about dresses. Click here to see it. JUDITH'S EDIT: Wow so many compliments to Judith. I swear she didn't know I was going to edit this post with my comments!

But, back to the task, my total favorite this week has been Alicja (alusiak123) and her take on a Chinese take out box, creating the perfect outfit for representing it. Just look at all the detailing, the tattoos, the red clutch, even the chef shirt... Is like she paid attention to absolutely everything. Bravo! JUDITH'S EDIT: Alicja it's my favourite this week too! LOVE HER OUTFIT!

Then, next to Alicjia, we have Monika (the_chuba) and her take on cute pink food, like cotton candy and pink lemonade. She did a perfect background for the outfit and her outfit totally goes with it. Perfect for a fashion magazine as Judith (JUDITH'S EDIT: Today I'm EVERYWHERE!) pointed out in her judgement. Last but not least, another outfit that has been really liked from the judges is this one from Letícia (leiona_-). Instead of going for a food, she put herself in the position of a food seller, which is great, different and what is most important, she created a great outfit for it, that is what we value.  
JUDITH'S EDIT: Letícia and Monika were both in a tie for my second favourites this week.

 


And that it's all for today! This is getting closer to the end and now the level is high, so high that a little mistake can get you out. At this point of the competition is always sad to eliminate people, but what is a competition with no elimination? It can't be and the one who got the lowest score in this task was Beata (B.E.A.T.K.A) an amazing stylish girl... Is sad, but it's life (JUDITH'S EDIT: So saaaaad!!! 😭😭😭). This is how the Contestants Board looks like now: 


Let's not get crazy for next week, remember that opposites attract!

Shopping: Starcoin Treasures - Dresses



Let's be honest, Starcoin items are not very common, and most of the times they aren't even interesting, that's why when we find one that we like and has the little blue coin marking its price we get so surprised and happy. And for the same reason I'm going to help you find some little gems still available at Starplaza in case you missed them. Starting with dresses!

I must say we had a terrible offer of interesting starcoin dresses before Vinyl and Pearls came out, so thank you Stardoll for realising those two and fixing it. In these stores we can find three different dresses that are quite cute and can make really cool outfits.


The white one has a really nice shape, you can wear it under coats or big sweaters as I did in the outfit of the left (Mireia is modelling in this post as you can see) and achieve a more casual approach, or embrace its preppiness and go for a more elegant look maybe with some heeled shoes and white cute socks underneath.

The collared one in the middle I think its an incredibly good dress for a starcoin item. The graphics are high quality here! And I love its ending with the flowy semi-transparent skirt. I would have preferred it didn't have the white collar but you can't have it all, I'm not complaining. It's not ugly but it limits your possibilities at the time of styling it. Talking about styling it... Rule nº1 in Stardoll outfits (and suitable sometimes in reality too): if you don't like a part of an item, cover it. Must admit that before making my outfit I was a bit lost at how to style it but after my experience I came to two conclusions: 1. Due to its shape it looks definitely much better with heels & 2. I really like it combined with a similar tone of blue. I also tried putting a sweater on and I was quite satisfied with the result even if I ended up going for a jacket.

The black denim one on the left seems to be screaming: "put a t-shirt or a turtleneck underneath meee!!!" Which is cool if you're into that trend. I think this one looks really good combined with sporty clothes (hello sneakers!) or a more school-girl style vibe (hello oxfords!). I opted for the first one as you can see in Mireia's doll. And hey! No limits with this one, you obviously can wear it as well with heels (hello thigh high boots!).


I couldn't make this post and not talk about Basics. Basics it's a gift from heaven. Really really really good prices, everything for starcoins and well, the name says it all, Basics you must have. I'm a lot more into the black & white collection rather than the colourful one or earthy-tones one they released later, but the colourful long-sleeved dresses can come in handy too. However what I'm featuring here are the lace dresses. A COMPLETE MUST HAVE.


I must have used those lace dresses like a thousand times. The shape is really nice so they look quite well on its own, like in the first outfit, and you can also forget it's a dress and use only the lace part as the edge of almost any bottoms, as I did in the third outfit. Plus the shape it's really versatile, meaning that it isn't annoying or difficult to layer, you can easily place it making it longer, add different items to make them more different...

And in the middle a nice little extra. The red dress Mirdith's wearing is from Voile, it doesn't appear in the actual shop only if you look for it in the catalogue. The shape could be better fitting (the right shoulder looks a tiny bit wide and out of place) but can be easily fixed putting a coat on top. Plus as it's quite tight so you can easily layer or costumize it too. And what I love about it it's its sheer texture, it looks so delicate and nice and perfect for contrasting it with a casual or edgy look. When I styled it in Mireia's doll I added the black underwear underneath to go for that edgy modern vibe.

Hope you liked this post and find it useful! And if you want more I might bring you more of this with other categories of clothing! ;)
