Girls Mode 3 Glitter ☆ Coordination Book - Hairstyle Guide

Sitting at home on a Saturday night in this freezing cold weather and I thought I might do some blogging! I was thinking about what to post and thought why not another Girls Mode 3 Glitter ☆ Coordination Book post? We finally finished the pages detailing the brands recently and now it's onto the other topics of the book!

Today I shall be sharing pictures of the various hair styles featured in the Girls Mode 3 Glitter ☆ Coordination Book. These are the styles available in the following games: Girls Mode 3 (JPN), New Style Boutique: Fashion Forward (AUS/EUR) and Style Savvy Fashion Forward (NA). The book shows an image on each hairstyle, information on unlocking new styles and general information about hair features in the game.

There are a large variety of styles to choose from and the book divides each one into the following categories: 

  • Bob - Short or Medium
  • Short
  • Medium
  • Long
  • Updo
  • Fringes

Selected hairstyles are available from the beginning of the game however most must be unlocked through game play. This is either done through using certain styles multiple times or talking to special NPCs. You can find a detailed guide on everything hairstyles on my other blog Style Boutique 2: Fashion Forward Guide

Outfit Of The Day - Alternative Selection

I feel like it is a rare occurrence when I post a darker toned outfit as I tend to stick to girly looks. Thought I would try something different with a cute gothic alternative look! I went with a red and black colour scheme for this one and it ended being kind of a mess with all the different patterns. Guess it works though as this type of fashion is about statements and doesn't have to be perfect. The bunnies are an interesting motif for this top and it would be cool if you could change the images on items. I wasn't too sure about the shoes for this outfit and randomly picked these as they felt right. For the hair, I wanted to try out this two-tone style which isn't something I would ever really pick. Swear this is the only time I've used it in the game.

Girls Mode 3 Glitter ☆ Coordination Book - アップビート Upbeat

It has been a long journey however we are finally here today with the final clothing brand from the Girls Mode 3 Glitter ☆ Coordination Book. The last brand to be posted is アップビート Upbeat and this has been a highly requested one. Many years ago, I posted a Streetflow/Upbeat Guide that contained selected images from the brand but not all the items were included in that blog post. So to finish off this series, here is the pages from the book focusing on the sporty brand Upbeat!



Upbeat is the go-to brand for sporty themed clothes and accessories. It is also known as Streetflow in the Style Boutique/Style Savvy games and sadly the style was removed after Girls Mode 3. The brand and the sport image were not available in Girls Mode 4 (Styling Star in NA/AUS/EUR). At the time when the brand was in the game, I wasn't the biggest fan of the style but grew to love it years later. Sad that it was removed as I feel the sporty image has made a big comeback in recent years and wearing sport clothes on a daily basis is super popular here in Australia.

The brand isn't just focused on the sporty style and features items that fit within other images. These include lively, basic, girly, psychedelic, bold and preppy. I tend to combine sporty with lively quite often as the look of the items can be quite similar and have good colour palettes. If I had to pick an item type that I use the most from Upbeat, it would be pants. I feel like they work well with most sport themed outfits and are easy to combine with things such as an outer. The sneakers are another great item from the brand and I often use those when the colours match an outfit I have in mind.
