One Year Challenge Week 35: Logo

Logos are a quintessential item to the Style Boutique series and I feel we all recognise the top from the first look. I swear it has looked the same in every single game apart from when the words were changed for different regions sometimes. April Bonbon is the queen of logo items for me as it just has so many crazy looking items. I stuck with only one lively look for the logo theme and it is very party suitable. Next we have a classic girly look which is giving off a casual feel. This is definitely something I would wear on a daily basis and I love the black and pink combo. Last look is a rock look as Stage Dive has some funky logos to be found there.

WJSN 4th Mini Album Dream Your Dream - Album Review (φορευς Phoreus Version)

Since WJSN has been in the news recently for their contract renewal, I thought I would post one of my WJSN mini albums. The group has always been one I've been interested in from a casual perspective and have three of their releases in my collection. WJSN has such a beautiful concept and their physical releases never disappoint. Today is all about their mini album Dream You Dream!

Dream Your Dream is the 4th Mini album from Korean girl group WJSN (also known as Cosmic Girls). It was released on February 27th 2018 in three versions: φορευς Phoreus, αγυρτης Agyrtis and ενυπνιον Enypnion. I brought my copy second hand from Japan so it didn't include all the original extras. Mine is missing the photocard (13 versions), poster (3 versions) and bookmark (3 versions). The album super cheap which is the usual price for K-pop releases that don't have the extras included. I got the φορευς Phoreus Version of the mini album and it contained the following:

• CD - 6 track mini album
• 72 page photobook

Girls Mode 3 Glitter ☆ Coordination Book - Baker Bridge

Recently I was going through some books in my bookcase and then spent an hour reading through old game guides. It has been a while since I last posted content from the Girls Mode 3 Glitter ☆ Coordination Book so that was the inspiration for today's post. Took some photos of all the lovely items from the Baker Bridge brand! This brand is also known as Brooke Bridge in the Style Boutique and Style Savvy games. No idea which names I prefer as they both fit the preppy image of the brand and Baker kind of reminds me of Sherlock Holmes for obvious reasons. Maybe that is why it is called that as it links to the detective style of some of the items.

The main image of Baker Bridge is preppy of course which you can easily see by taking one look at all the items. This brand just screams uniforms and prints! The brand is contains items that fall under girly, gothic, bold, feminine and rock. Throughout the course of the Style Boutique series, I feel like this brand has always been a favourite for me as I love the preppy style in real life. The items are excellently designed and I enjoy trying to put together a stylish outfit with multiple items. Considering how many Brooke Bridge outfits I have made, it feels like there are hundreds more I could do! When I was reading my old Style Boutique magazines, there was lots of beautiful preppy themed outfits that I would've never thought of.

One Year Challenge Week 34: Enid Chen

Whilst putting together these outfits, I had the realisation that some Enid Chen pieces are really gaudy. I've never noticed it before but some of the items were just too flashy and didn't look cohesive together. I guess that's the appeal of the chic style and often pricey items in the real world are quite ugly. Money cannot buy taste is an appropriate saying for this situation. Honestly I prefer the first and second outfits from this set. The third one just has something off about it that I don't like. The first look is very secretary whilst the second is serving James Bond girl vibes.

Momoiro Clover Z ニッポン笑顔百景 Nippon Egao Hyakkei - Single Review

Have you ever been scrolling through YouTube and come across a video that changes your life? Well that was me when I discovered ニッポン笑顔百景 Nippon Egao Hyakkei by Momoiro Clover Z. This group had somehow completely flown under my radar and I had never heard any of their stuff. But I just fell in love with this quirky song and knew I needed the single! And luckily I was able to find a copy and we shall be looking at it today.

ニッポン笑顔百景 Nippon Egao Hyakkei is the first single released by Momoclo Tei Ichimon which is a pseudonym/stage name of Momoiro Clover Z. The single was released on the 5th of September 2012 and only came in the one version. Various wikis online listed this single as the 4th other single, so I believe that means it wasn't an official main group release. Kind of like a special single I guess which I haven't seen too much J-Pop myself. I got mine from Yahoo Auctions of course and it was in great condition. My copy came with the following contents:

• CD - 7 track single
• Jewel Case
• Lyrics booklet
• OBI

One Year Challenge Week 33: Autumn

Is Autumn one of our favourite seasons? I find it more appealing than winter but it can still be quite cold and I hate the cold. Sometimes me city experiences a heatwave in Autumn which is a nice break just before the cold weather hits. For this weeks outfits, I went for some looks that were perfect for both warm and cool weather. Three quarter pants only seems appropriate this time of year and I used to own a pair that looked just like this. It did have glitter on the thighs originally but it wore off eventually. What was with the 2000's and putting glitter on pants all the time? I had a camo pair of cargo pants with the same thing. The last outfit in the orange would be the one I would wear out of these three and I love using this biker jacket in all my looks.

One Year Challenge Week 32: Brooke Bridge

Across the Style Boutique series, Brooke Bridge has stayed one of my favourite brands in the game. I think that is because I'm a big fan of the preppy/uniform style in real life and the brand features a range of gorgeous items. Plus Styling Star gave us some amazing new additions to the brand. There could've been stacks of outfits to make for this weeks post however I tried to utilise items I haven't used too much. My favourite outfit of the three would be the last one as I'm loving the combination of shades of pink. And I finally got a hat to look good in an outfit! This particular style of hat I always find difficult to build into looks.
