I thought since I'm only doing monthly Shopdo Updates now instead of weekly ones, it would be nice to update my Caprice Chalet room monthly again. I've done room updates on and off for a few years now and in 2020, I want to try and update it more. Decided to make a new room from scratch instead of uploading an older design as it's been ages since I made a new room. I had a lot of fun with it and it's nice to see the older miniatures that aren't in the game anymore.
This month's room is themed around a cute bedroom and features soft colour tones and cute accessories. I used FABBY mascot and slippers from the Pink Latte DLC which look adorable. There was a run included in the layout I first made, but once I selected this flooring I removed it as there is a rug included in it already. You can download my Caprice Chalet room at the room address 180-239-9851 in all regions of New Style Boutique 2!
The spookiest time of the year is here for it is Halloween! I thought it would be fun to share my favourite things about Halloween. Halloween isn't that big in Australia but in recent years it has been growing in popularity. More shops are now selling decorations and costumes and I've even seen a few houses all decorated around the suburbs. I think because Christmas is pushed so early in the shops that people forget about Halloween. I am totally over seeing Christmas stuff in August so I'm all for Halloween.
First off on the Halloween list is one of my favourite characters, Rilakkuma! Japan always goes all out for holiday themed anything and Rilakkuma is no exception. San-X brought out some super adorable Rilakkuma and friends Halloween plushies this year. Just look at these costumed cuties! Rilakkuma in the ghost outfit would be my favourite.
When I was younger, Halloween wasn't celebrated at all over here. So my only exposure to it was through American television shows. I grew up watching Nickelodeon, Disney Channel and Cartoon Network so I loved around Halloween time when the channels would play the Halloween specials. Big Time Rush was one (and still is) one of my favourite live-action Nick shows and the Halloween specials of that were so hilarious. But the ultimate Halloween special would be the Sabrina the Teenage Witch ones. The show was perfect for Halloween and the Halloween episodes were always well done. Planning on marathoning the Sabrina specials on the 31st for Halloween.
Halloween seems to be the hot topic for Youtubers around this time. A few of my main Youtubers put out good content for teh spooky season. I'd say Ashens has the best Halloween videos where he buys Halloween themed junk (or tat as he refers to it as) and reviews it. Looking forward to seeing the horrors he finds this year. Another Youtuber that I quite like is Mia Maples who is a Canadian Youtuber who reviews clothing websites, does make-up videos and other fun things. She's down to earth and gives honest reviews of the products she tries. I'll leave her recent costume try-on video below where she tries out costumes from Fashion Nova.
Couldn't forget Disney in a Halloween themed post! Halloween shows up in Disney Magical World and it's probably my favourite holiday in the game just because of the cute costumes the main characters wear. It's a shame that you can't craft the outfits that Mickey and friends wear for yourself. I really want Daisy's outfit!!!
This month's room has been available for download since the start of the month, but I've only got around to posting the update on here until now. I've been quite busy lately creating guides for my Style Boutique blogs which I'm quite pleased with. Managed to get a whole stack made this week so there should be lots of updates going on up the Styling Star one over the next few months. I'm going to try to finish off some guides for the Fashion Forward one as well. I was so busy with work that last few months that I didn't have enough time to do guides for both games. I want to finish off all the Purple Moon sets so that's my main goal at the moment.
Anyway back to the room update! For this months Caprice Chalet room, I went with an office layout. This is one of my favourite room designs as it's quite unique and a bit out of the box design wise. So I thought 'Office Space' would be a nice room to upload for October.
The main design aspect of this room is the photocopier which was available through the Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer DLC. Seeing this item again makes me sad that Styling Star has received zero DLC compared to Fashion Forward which had a decent amount of DLC releases for the West and stacks for Japan.
For the room design, I pretty much just placed miniatures around the space to create a messy office environment. Fashion Forward has quite a few writing themed miniatures so I put those to good use as well. Actually used a window in this design, they tend to be a miniature that I avoid using. If you would like to visit 'Office Space', you can find it at room address 180-239-9851!
