This dress design was one of the first styles I saw in Fashion Dreamer and I fell in love right away. It has such beautiful depth and volume to it plus it is animated perfectly. I have quite a number in my collection and for this outfit, I went with this lovely blue purple toned one. Love how I had shoes to match in the same colour! I've been trying to wear overall dresses more in real life but the straps always drive me insane. I just cannot get them perfect and sometimes it keeps sliding off my arm whilst wearing it at work. I have a cute denim one from Dotti and it is perfect as it has amazing pockets which you don't see in a lot of store brought dresses. For the photoshoot, I went for this cute looking background with lots of pastel tones. Also just have to point out in that last photo the awful clipping on the hair into my arm.
No fashion game can escape me from wearing a beret and this first outfit in today's MODEL debut3 #nicola play journal proves that. I just cannot help but choose berets for outfits as they always look amazing. Happened in Style Boutique, Fashion Dreamer and now MODEL debut3. This outfit turned out super cute and I loved the colour tones of it. Also how adorable is this teddy bear purse!?!?! It is so fluffy and I have to resist using it in every outfit from now on.
Felt like going with a casual spring outfit for the today's outfit and I knew I wanted to use this particular t-shirt. It reminded me of a shirt I had years ago that I brought in Hong Kong and I loved how simple it looked. The print was very basic yet the shirt still felt vibrant. I paired it with a pair of denim shorts as I feel that is the perfect way to wear a shirt like this. Love how it isn't cropped as it is impossible to buy shirts that aren't cropped nowadays. Matched some cute earrings to the print on the shirt and the shoes were some colour sandals. I couldn't really decide on the shoes as the selection I had wasn't too amazing. These looked suitable thought and would be nice to wear on a warmer spring day.
Time to power through these play journals for MODEL Debut3 #nicola because I am way behind on the blog compared to where I'm at in game. Pretty much going to post as many as possible until I catch up so I don't fall behind. This play journal has is starting at rank F however in real life I'm actually almost at rank C. So I'm going to focus on posting the journals for a little bit to reach that point. Anyway let's get going with this refreshing modelling job that I took part in. The outfit was super cute for this one and I love the hair colour! The background was nice at first however the photo was made a 100% better once I found this one that matches the fruit vibe more.
Later I visited a beauty store with Shunsuke and he made a great comment about lack of sleep. Dude I run off lack of sleep and I wish I could improve it. I brought a sleep mat early this year and whilst it is amazing, I hate seeing how bad my sleep patterns are. And now it will only get worst with all the super early starts I'll be doing for work along with long days. He means well I guess and my character cannot get dark circles haha. Perfect time for another Nicola App post!
Back with another MODEL debut3 #nicola play journal and I have lots of cool photo shoots to share in this one. First up is a look that combines khaki pants in a boyish style. Seemed like an easy job as pants are always a simply thing to choose. I thought a beanie would be a cool addition to this outfit and feels very boyish.
Spent some time talking to Narumi at a few places and she saved one of my items from disappearing in the wind. I really like her style and this hat suits her hairstyle well. She has some cool boyish image going on like the previous photo shoot theme.
OMG I was trying to hard this month to remember to post my monthly favourites as I have missed a few recently. It has been a crazy last few months for me however and it feels like it is slowly improving which is amazing. Plus the weather is getting a bit warmer however it is always crazy windy. My city was never a windy place but I feel like in recent years it has been super bad. I have just had two weeks off work for annual leave which was great! Loved just chilling out and not having to deal with stress constantly. Now I'm back and ready to take on the busy peak trade season over Christmas. Anyway let's get into the monthly favourites for October!
Gaming
I feel like most of my blog readers would already be aware that MODEL Debut3 #nicola got an English release this month which was crazy surprising! I totally wasn't expecting it and I thought it was funny as I had been playing the game quite a lot recently before was announced. Honestly I love the game and was happy to see it reach a wider audience. I will of course be posting lots of content about the game including a few guides that I've done recently. You can find them all on the MODEL Debut3 #nicola page here!
Music
This month I have been obssessed with the Japanese pop duo Wink who were active in the 1980's to 1990's. I was already aware of two of their songs 愛が止まらない Ai ga Tomaranai ~Turn It Into Love~ and 淋しい熱帯魚 Samishii Nettaigyo but had never really listened to anything else. So I randomly brought their best of on iTunes and I'm hooked! Absoutely amazing and so annoyed I left it this long! Why are there so many amazing Japanese groups from the 1990's? My current favourite songs are 夜にはぐれて Yoru ni Hagurete ~Where Were You Last Night~ and 真夏のトレモロ Manatsu no Tremolo. The first song caught my attention as I already knew the original song that they covered. So I was like hey I know this song!
I swear like every outfit I create has a plaid skirt in it! Literally only just realised that and guess I'm obsessed with them. They just look so nice in Fashion Dreamer and the developers did an excellent job with programming them in the game. Like I loved using them in Style Boutique however they have so much more life and depth to them in this game.
This look is a cute comfy outfit that mixes a bit of preppy and girly. More towards girly I feel as it feels quite sweet and soft looking. Love these over sized cardigans in Fashion Dreamer and I will use them in every single outfit. Of course I had to put on my favourite top with the little bow on the collar. Another top item of mine that gets constantly repeated. This hair is my style and I wish my bangs looked that good when I used to have them. Wispy bangs are impossible to perfect and thank heavens I can have them in the virtual world instead.
