T-ARA TARGET - Single Review (Regular Edition Type B)

Lately I've been on a spree of writing T-ARA reviews and I'm back again with another one! Today we shall be looking at one of their Japanese singles and it has the most adorable chibi design to the CD. Look at how cute the members look as cartoon characters! This single TARGET had an app released shortly after based off the song and it allowed the player to play as each member in various mini games. You could also unlock different costumes and songs which sounds amazing!


TARGET is the seventh Japanese single released by Korean girl group T-ARA and it was released on July 10th 2013. The single came in three editions: Limited Edition CD+DVD, Regular Edition Type A CD Only and Regular Edition Type B CD Only. Both Regular Editions are the same and just have different covers. The song was also released as a Recochoku Digital Single as most T-ARA singles were. I have the Regular Edition Type B that I brought second-hand and it came with the following contents:
  • CD - 2 track single
  • Jewel case
  • Lyrics booklet
  • OBI
  • Sticker Sheet

Fashion Dreamer Lookits Collection 1 - First Set!

Trying to be smart and productive with my Fashion Dreamer photos and copying them off my SD card right away. I'll lose track and they'll become too difficult if I let them all pile up. Decided to publish my Lookits in separate play journals as it is nice to see how players interpret the outfits they give my character. Honestly I love all the Lookits I receive as it is lovely that a player took the time to make it and put effort into thinking about the requirements. This play journal will focus on the first lot of Lookits I received in a game and I've got more lined up to post at a later date.

As you can guess from the following outfits, my profile has pink and dress as my wish list. Pink is my favourite colour and I've always love collecting dresses in the Style Boutique games. So I thought it would be an easy way to collect clothes if I put dress as the item. How cute are these first two Lookits that I got?!?! So beautiful and well put together. They match my hair perfectly and I actually use the shoes from the first look quite a lot.




Love this Lookit as it reminded me of the lively style in Style Boutique. Plus I feel it is very right now with the over-sized jacket. The earrings and shoes were actually my favourite part of the outfit with their adorable design.

Fashion Dreamer Play Journal - Unlocking Online

So I've been playing more Fashion Dreamer and I'm obsessed! Once I unlocked more content in the game, it became quite fun! My blog is going to be straight Fashion Dreamer content now haha. Starting off with this cute selfie I took of my character. Still figuring out how to use the camera in this game however I thought this one turned out nice.


Been practicing at designing clothes and the mechanics are cool. I think once I figure it out more that I'll enjoy it. I've been too into designing things in games and I feel like I rarely used the designer items in Styling Star. This game is way better and the colour palettes are an awesome idea. It is interesting how the game generates them and it helps me design clothes more easily. Made some boring socks and they were inspired by a pair I love in Style Boutique.


The NPC's are definitely something in this game and I haven't encountered too many so far. Woodland Jackie is quite adorable and I like her positively. The second chick is my least favourite and she shows up everywhere! At least she gives me nice compliments so that's a plus.




Accidentally walked into the showroom showcase thing and I had no idea what it was. Turns out it was lots of lovely rooms and I loved the wallpaper more than the clothes. Sucks that you cannot take photos in the hallways as that is the best spot! Took some cute pictures of my muse hanging out in the showrooms.

Fashion Dreamer - Muse ID

With the release of Fashion Dreamer, that means it is time for a new fashion profile ID on Marzipan Wonderland! I have set up an online profile in Fashion Dreamer and would love for fellow fashion fans to add me on the game. My Muse ID is ygXAyp6bXA and I have set up a lovely showroom to visit as well. The game is quite new so my showroom isn't too fancy yet however I hope to improve on it soon with some gorgeous items and outfits.

Please add your Fashion Dreamer Muse ID in the comments if you play the game. It would wonderful to see what other players are creating and see what outfits people are putting together!

Fashion Dreamer Play Journal - The Beginning

The release day of the long anticipated Fashion Dreamer game on Nintendo Switch has come and gone! I was quite excited to pick up my game on Friday and had to put up with it staring at me all day until I could pay for it. Now I'm not going to comment on my review of the game as I haven't played enough to give a solid opinion on the game. I've seen players who have played over 10 hours of the game was like wow! Please send some of your free time my way! Not sure how much I've played, maybe under five and I have a small selection of screenshots to share for my very first Fashion Dreamer play journal!

My character is called Marzipan and I went with a cute girly image for my muse. The hairstyle selection was good and I like the range of facial/skin options. I wasn't too sure what to pick for favourite print as I don't have a standout one (maybe gingham?).


The world of Eve is quite colourful and easy to move around in. However can they please add running! It drives me insane at how slow my muse moves! I don't have much time for gaming nowadays so I like to be able to move at sonic speed. The NPC's reminded me of the ones from Style Boutique where they'd say silly or bizarre things. I like that their text matches their personalities and I liked that one girl who talks about the zoo and animals a lot.

T-ARA Sexy Love [Japanese Ver.] - Single Review (CD Only)

I have quite a few Japanese singles from T-ARA in my collection so I wanted to work through posting a few of them. The ones in the jewel cases are quite easy to take photos of and I cannot even recall whereabouts I put the cardboard sleeve ones. Will have to dig them out of the cupboard one day to take photos. Today we shall be looking at the Japanese version of Sexy Love!


Sexy Love is the fifth Japanese single released by Korean girl group T-ARA and it was released on November 12th 2012. The single came in three editions: CD+DVD Type A, CD+DVD Type B and CD Only. It was also released as a Recochoku Digital Single along with iTunes. I've got all three editions of the single and the CD Only edition comes with a member plate! I got Eunjung who has a gorgeous look going on the CD and if I had to pick a member who I would've like to have gotten, it would be Boram as her outfit is super cute and she is my bias. The CD Only edition of Sexy Love that I have came with the following:
  • CD - 4 track single
  • Jewel case
  • Lyrics Booklet
  • OBI
