Shopaholic: Subcouture #2 - Supersize Hoop Earrings

Second post styling the new Subcouture collection, and today it's about the Supersize Hoop Earrings. I find really interesting to create a whole outfit basing on the complements.

I decided to use the same tones in all the looks, but each one says something different.

Next post tomorrow!

Shopaholic: Subcouture #1 - Oversized Pearl Trenchcoat

Yesterday I posted the Review of the last Subcouture collection and now it's time to style my fave items! One post, one item.

Let's start!

The Subcouture Oversized Pearl Trenchcoat is maybe the most sold from this collection, and I understand it because shape, graphics and colour are perfect.

I've seen a lot of outfits with this trenchcoat, and all of them matching it with white clothes. So I decided to add some colour and some contrasts, excepting for the look in the middle (I have to admit that nude and white tones look great with it)

Next post tomorrow!

FM-STYLE "Review": Cycle 13 - Task 4

TASK 4: Side to side

There is always this task where we make you use an item from Starplaza. To make it possible for everyone to do it in your suites we always select a starcoin item, that is accesible to anyone. This time the item is this:

KEY WORDS

Only rule: using the Starplaza item given

In this case, some outfits tend to look alike so it is interesting to give it a different touch is some way.

HOW DO I SEE IT?

It is too easy to make a sporty look, or maybe everyone thinks that and a sporty look is the perfect choice... haha

Here the creativity is essential! Don't be conformist with your outfit, don't use the leggins as leggins. And if you do, don't go for a normal or basic look.

MY TRY

Hmm... Yellow...

...or blue?

I just wanted to make a super cool outfit, and I like them both! But I think I would choose the blue one!

MY FAVE JUDGE OUTFIT

MY FAVES CONTESTANTS OUTFITS

My super faves: B.E.A.T.K.A and alusiak123

I couldn't choose only one, because each look has something that amazes me!

In the outfit from B.E.A.T.K.A the tights over the leggins are a great idea! And she also combined a perfect color palette and created a super sophisticated look with a subtil sexy touch.

In alusiak123's outfit the rock-indie, street, vintage vibes are so *.*! Hair, t-shirt, pants, shoes, suspenders... Everything goes perfectly with the leggins!

My "runner-up": Sweet_gal11

 This outfit is soooo great, love its vibes! But maybe a bit typical for these leggins... Still loving it!

THE TASK WINNER

The judges think that the best was Sweet_gal11!

THE ELIMINATION

Sadly we have to say goodbye to glittergirl208 and bankgeek17 for not completing the task.

And that's all, can't wait to see what happens in next task!

Review: SUBCOUTURE

New SUBCOUTURE collection! Yaaay!

I'm a big fan of Subcouture because at first sight I'm always a bit dissapointed, but then I take a deeper look to the floors and then I find a lot of items that I like! 

(and then I don't know what to buy bc I want it all as always haha)

This time I hae mixed feelings, because I LOVE some items, and HATE the rest haha But in general, I'm happy with the collection!

ITEMS I HATE

The two first items have awful graphics, plus the colour and shape are also dissapointed. The rest are, for me, too extravagant and with wrong colours too, although the graphics are okay.

ITEMS I LOVE and bought

That bag is my suuuuper fave item from this collection! The colours combination is so *.*!

About the earrings... they are a "must have"!

I've been looking for a cute denim top for so long and finally found the perfect one!

That trenchcoat is the most sold items, isn't it? I love it too, and it is so wearable, plus the colour is beautiful!

The cap was in starcoins, that is a bi surprise with no doubt! A "must buy" for sure! And it is pretty cool!

And that black shirt is a basic with personality, so yes yes yes!

 ITEMS I LIKE and still want to buy

I've seen so bad comments about that skirt, but I have to say that I found it really interesting! And the same for the shoes, they are some "good girl" and vintage, and I want to give them a chance!

And that's all for now, but stay tuned because tomorrow I'll post the first entrie styling the items I bought!

OOTD #69

black is the new orange

Quick advice!

When you combine different prints but in the same colour, add some bright colours with the complements to avoid making a boring outfit!

Also the background is important. I placed my doll in a black and white room, with plants of bright colours. Perfect for this outfit, isn't it?

FM-STYLE "Review": Cycle 13 - Task 3

TASK 3: Dark Times

For this task we give you not a fashion requirement but one related to the beauty and make-up world.

You have to create an outfit styling very very dark lips. Black lipstick it's preferable but if you don't have one, don't want to buy it and prefer to use your own clothes instead of doing the outfit in Starplaza, you can use the darkest shade avilable in the Beauty Parlor.

You have to make the dark lips look super cool and, as always, surprise us with an amazing outfit that goes perfectly with them.

KEY WORDS

an outfit styling very very dark lips
Black lipstick it's preferable but [...] you can use the darkest shade avilable in the Beauty Parlor

Only rule: VERY VERY dark lips

For me that "VERY VERY dark lips" rule is really important bc it's the only requirement.

Black lips are very characteristic, they aren't the same as, for example, dark burgundy lips or dark purple lips. And they look amazing if you know how to match them!

HOW DO I SEE IT?

You can tackle this task in two different ways: you can make an unit with the lips and outfit, or you can create a strong contrast between the lips and outfit.

But the point is that if you remove the dark lips, the outfit has to be incomplete.

MY TRY

For my outfit I tried to create a harmony between dark and sweet. I got some vintage inspirations with the laced shirt, the cross earrings and silk dress.

The dark lips are necessary for this look, without them it loses strength and says nothing.

My super fave: the_chuba

I love how the dark lips stand out over the pale skin and the minimalist look, matching as well with the nails and glasses. She looks cute and "good girl", but the lips give it power and strength.

My "runner-up": liona_-

Here the dark lips are definitely something necessary for the look to be complete. Also the casual street vibes are perfect for them!

THE TASK WINNER

The judges think that the best was leiona_-!

FM-STYLE "Review": Cycle 13 - Task 2

TASK 2: Fur Elise

For the second task we are going to keep ourselves warm (sorry for the ones that are currently in summer) and wrap our dolls in fur.

There are no rules other than using at least 1 furry item so let your originality and creativity flow and surprise us with your outfit!

* The fur can be in any part of your outfit ;)

KEY WORDS

no rules other than using at least 1 furry item
let your originality and creativity flow and surprise us

Surprise the judges!

HOW DO I SEE IT?

I would personally emphasize both concepts: "own style" and "Christmas reminder". As the task gives a lot of freedom, I would create a powerful and elaborated outfit which reflects perfectly my style.

The Christmas thing is important because it is actually the "only requirement", so I would use something clear and concise so there's no doubt about it.

MY TRY

When I hear "fur" I don't think in winter, I think in party, glam and rock! A fur, for me, is a texture. That lets you play with another textures creating contrasts (sheer top, fur jacket, leather top, socks...).

I made this outfit for this concrete task, but trying to make my "outfit of the day" I ended up creating a new look with a fur, the "cute one" this time haha

Aaaaand... I read again the key words and I thought, let's experiment some more with the fur!

So now I wouldn't know which one I should choose... Maybe the last one, what do you think?

My super fave: B.E.A.T.K.A

I saw B.E.A.T.K.A.'s outfit it in her suite before seeing it in the cycle and it surprised me so much! My fave part is the matching print of the fur and bag, so interesting! And another thing I like is the flats, it's not much usual using them instead of heels, and look perfect with the socks. Amazing job!

My "runners-up": Andre1396, the_chuba and vousme.

I can clearly see Andrea's style in her outfit! Silver boots, sheer glasses and experimenting with the fur. Loving it!

In the_chuba's outfit I like the brown fur as a scarf around the arms, I think it gives a special touch to the outfit. And as I've said in "my try" part, furs give as the opportunity to mix textures, and that's something I can clearly see here! Also the hair and make-up are on point!

Finally the outfit from vousme is so elegant and the hair and make-up go perfectly with it. It's interesting the mix of the fur and skirt textures, and also the how she placed the fur!

THE TASK WINNER

The judges think that the best was vousme!

It's not usual to make an outfit with the complementary colours, so this skirt is the perfect chance to! And that belt is the perfect match for the skirt, isn't it?

(also obsessed with the circus vibes that this Gucci Tribute skirt gives to me!)

FM-STYLE "Review": Cycle 13 - Task 1

First task is done and I have a lot of things to say about it!

TASK 1: Last Christmas

Christmas is here! 

For this first task we need you to show us what you got, what you're made of. To do so, we want you to create an outfit that describes a little your style. But, there's a requirement. You have to incorporate a Christmas reference in any way you want. That means using just christmassy colours, an ugly christmas sweater... Your choice, but it has to remind us of Christmas.

KEY WORDS

an outfit that describes a little your style

incorporate a Christmas reference

Easy and concrete task with two clear requirements.

HOW DO I SEE IT?

I would personally emphasize both concepts: "own style" and "Christmas reminder". As the task gives a lot of freedom, I would create a powerful and elaborated outfit which reflects perfectly my style.

The Christmas thing is important because it is actually the "only requirement", so I would use something clear and concise so there's no doubt about it.

MY TRY

About my outfit, I love layering and that's something I do in most of my looks, so I had to do this here as well! Total black (and total white) looks are my faves, and it was perfect for this task because it goes perfectly with Christmas thing (red colour, bells and decoration). Also the outfit I've made would be perfect for a Christmas dinner, so everything fits!

My super fave: alusiak123

Love the mix of textures and shapes here, how much personality it reflects and the little reminder to Christmas on those earrings, plus it is a perfect outfit for a Christmas dinner. 

My "runners-up": B.E.A.T.K.A, leiona_-, ElenaGao2 and the_chuba

I like the elegance in B.E.A.T.K.A's outfit, the risk of the colours mix in leiona_-'s outfit and how cute are the outfits of ElenaGao2 and the_chuba!

I also liked a lot the outfits from strobarycake and Sweet_gal11, but didn't remind me much to Christmas.

THE TASK WINNER

Also the judges think that the best was alusiak123!
