Girls Mode 3 Glitter ☆ Coordination Book - HELGA

It has been forever since I posted content from the Girls Mode 3 Glitter ☆ Coordination Book and my dearest apologies for the delay. The reason was that I lost all the images I had left to post when I switched to a new internal hard drive on my computer. They were the one folder that didn't get copied over along with some other Style Boutique stuff. I've been trying to get them back but I've been hitting delays with my tech help. Ended up just taking new photos of the pages so I could get back on track with posting. The brand that I will be showcasing today is HELGA which is the Japanese name for Enid Chen. This brand is known for being the classy high profile and high priced tagged clothing brand in the game. 

HELGA is the home of chic style in the Girls Mode game series and all the items in this brand are pretty expensive. I rarely used them in outfits for customers and also rarely in my own outfits. The main time I would use the brand would be for challenges or photoshoots. I wouldn't rank HELGA/Enid Chen as a top favourite in the series however I do believe that Styling Star elevated the brand with a lovely selection of new items.

The brand also focuses on other styles besides chic such as psychedelic, boho, gothic, bold, rock, feminine and preppy. I will sometimes use items from HELGA in bold or psychedelic looks as the bold prints match well with those images. HELGA has a sister brand that focuses on handbags called YLVA which you can find the brand images for here!

One Item Challenge - Enid Chen

Picking back up my One Item Challenge series for Style Boutique: Styling Star! I searched back through my old posts to find a brand that I hadn't done yet and Enid Chen was on the list. So I decided to go with a versatile item for the challenge. It had to be something that works with a variety of styles and can be used with different items. I went with this luxe bandeau in a simple black tone as I knew every brand has something to match it. Plus strapless tops allow the use of lovely accessories like necklaces!

I had fun creating all these outfits as it has been forever since I did this challenge or even really played Style Boutique this much. Honestly I love all the outfits which I think is just due to me not seeing everything for such a long time. First up is the chic themed outfit to match the image of the item and I tried to go some contrasting colours for this look. White and black always look elegant together and that was my inspiration for this outfit. Had to chuck in my favourite glasses from Enid Chen of course because they are perfect!

Who knew this luxe bandeau would work so well in all the images in Style Boutique? I had no trouble at all thinking of outfit combinations and made all of these up pretty quick. I tried to focus on using items I hadn't use much in the past as I want to try to start making more outfits outside my comfort zone. I noticed many items still have the 'new' mark on them, like how on earth have I not used some items? There's just a wealth of them in the game! All these outfits are amazing but if I had to pick a top three I would choose Purple Moon, Glam/Flirty and Gothic. I enjoyed how lovely these three in particular turned out and I can't get over how the glam one looks kind of trash but totally works!

Shopdo Update - February 2020

I've kept the feminine themed boutique for another one as I love this interior and last month's outfits proved popular. The outfits for February feature a range of styles and are suitable for different occasions. First up is a feminine themed look featuring this gorgeous aqua tone and for this look, I wanted to try using a trench coat style outer as I rarely use those. I paired it with this skirt from Enid Chen and some cute heels. The second outfit is a girly outfit as that's my usual go-to look for Shopdo outfits. I actually really like this and feel it would be cute in real life to wear. Again I tried to use some items I rarely use which resulted in this camisole top with these shorts. Last outfit is a baby-doll one and I went for a brown colour scheme to try to match the boutique interior. The outfit is a mixture of items from Marble Lily, Raven Candle and Marzipan Sky. All three of these outfits can be found at Shopdo ID 0006271056 in New Style Boutique 3: Styling Star (EUR/AUS Region).

Shopdo Update

There's a fun little theme to this week's Shopdo outfits which is that they are all ghost themed! Thought it was perfect for Halloween and would be super cute. The first outfit is a ghost themed around the girly style and I'm sure I had a similar look last Halloween. I liked it so much back then, I thought I'd bring it back. Next up is a Gothic ghost coordinate of course because you can't have spooky without the Gothic image. I tried to use some items such as this dress which I've never used before. Lastly is a chic inspired ghost because I feel it's quite unique and stylish. All three of these beauties are available at Shopdo ID 0006271056 in New Style Boutique 3: Styling Star (EUR/AUS Region).

100 Outfit Challenge Day 95: Gold

Bit of a new look with today's outfit which is a combination of chic and glam/flirty style. I do love my glam style so I'm happy this look turned out so perfect. The dress looks a bit cheap compared to all the other expensive items in the look but it's the ultimate combination of gold tones and sequins! Gold items in the game are generally limited to Enid Chen so it was a no brainier to go with a chic styled outfit. I've done a Gold Colour Outfits Collection post previously and even then I struggled to find items in each style. So it was pretty easy to narrow down the items I wanted to use for this look and the new butterfly wing styled shoes were the perfect final touch to the outfit.

Shopdo Update - Halloween Themed Boutique

Since October will soon be upon us, I thought I'd give the boutique a special Halloween make-over! For the month of October, I will be doing special Halloween themed outfits for my Shopdo updates since October is the spooky month. The first outfit for Halloween is your usual cheerleader ensemble which is just the basic cheerleader outfit from Purple Moon with some lively items added in. Perfect for your teen horror movie! The next outfit is a cute bunny themed coordinate in the baby-doll style. I love using this bunny ears from Purple Moon at Easter time for outfits, but why not add them in for Halloween as well? Final outfit is a elegant vampire inspired look once again featuring an item from Purple Moon. It really is the Halloween brand isn't it? I love this look as it is rather stylish yet mysterious. You can find all three outfits at my Shopdo ID 0006271056 in New Style Boutique 3: Styling Star (EUR/AUS Region).

Quick look at my Halloween themed boutique which has an elegant Gothic inspired interior. I decided on using a couch in the centre of the room as I rarely do that and it feels a bit more cosy. Of course I included a black cat as it's the quintessential Halloween animal. My character has a Halloween themed outfit on for the new look and this outfit is one of my usual get-ups I wear around Halloween time in the game. I really do miss the Halloween themed DLC items from Fashion Forward as they were perfect for this holiday!

100 Outfit Challenge Day 86: Glasses

It's no surprise of what item I used for the glasses theme as there is only one pair of glasses that are my number one pair in the game. And that's this stylish pair from Enid Chen! They are my go to glasses when creating chic themed outfits and I think most chic outfits I've created within the last few months have always included this pair. I can't decided which colour of the glasses is my favourite so I went with a pair that matched a dress I haven't used much. The pattern on this dress is so crazy and feels very over the top which isn't that what expensive clothes are sometimes about. Like being gaudy as and feel very exclusive.

100 Outfit Challenge Day 81: Silver

Wow we finally hit the 80's after such a long time and I've gone with another colour themed outfit for today. When it comes to the colour silver, I feel Enid Chen has the best selection of items in that colour. I guess because silver is more associated with luxurious items and I feel with other brands, it just looks a bit cheap in the design of the items. For my outfit, I choose this stunning silver toned formal party dress from Enid Chen and paired it with a cute tiara from Purple Moon. It's so beautiful and makes me wish we had more formal party items in the game.

100 Outfit Challenge Day 66: Over $300

A quick question for all Style Boutique fans regarding today's theme, do you feel there could be more expensive clothing in the game? I wish their was another expensive brand that specialised in formal attire such as dresses and accessories. Kinda like a prom or wedding focused brand. I feel Enid Chen doesn't cover the formal dress area well enough as the dresses feel a bit too similar to me. Anyway today's theme is about creating an outfit from items that cost more than $300. I just used the price search feature to find the items and I'm happy with the result. I never knew this outer from Purple Moon would match Enid Chen items so well. This might be one of new favourite chic style outfits as it's so elegant and stylish.

Shopdo Update

Straight into this week's Shopdo Update with a Chic outfit with a rock theme. I titled this one paparazzi as I thought it was quite appropriate for this superstar look. Second is a rock outfit in some bright purple tones which I honestly think Stage Dive has some great purple items that always look good. The final outfit is a lively themed outfit that leans a little towards the rock style. I went with red and black as April Bonbon has some excellent pieces in these colours. It's cute yet edgy! You can find all three outfits at Shopdo ID 0006271056 in New Style Boutique 3: Styling Star (EUR/AUS Region).

100 Outfit Challenge Day 56: Chic

We've had a few chic outfits so far for the 100 Outfit Challenge, but today is the day completely dedicated to the lavish style. For the chic outfit, I tried to go with items I haven't used much for chic outfits so I turned to the dress section. There's quite a few dresses in there that I rarely touch and just brought for completion sake. I went with this green tone printed dress and paired it with some boots and elegant jacket. Included my favourite glasses from Enid Chen of course as I cannot make a chic outfit with them!

100 Outfit Challenge Day 41: Glitter

Even though you can't actually see glitter in Style Boutique, you can definitely get the idea that certain clothing items are all about the over the top glitter! I thought it would make a fun challenge idea to make an outfit that celebrates the wonder that is glitter. I feel items from Enid Chen and AZ-USA have the most glitter style items and I ended up with this chic look for the outfit. Enid Chen has plenty of sparkly dresses for the night out and could you imagine how this jacket would look in real life? I'm guessing it would be pretty heavy as I remember trying on a glitter jacket once at an Op Shop and it weighed a ton. Plus it would be a pain to clean and I'd be worried about snagging it on everything.

100 Outfit Challenge Day 40: Hairstyle

Almost halfway there with the 100 Outfits Challenge at Day 40! Today's theme is hairstyle and you may have noticed I've used the same hairstyle throughout the entire challenge. I did this mainly because it's much easier and this particular hairstyle is my favourite in the game. I've worn it multiple times over the course of playing the games and always come back to it. We may have lost a number of amazing styles that were removed but we got some gems such as this look. This hair cut reminds me of feminine and chic styles a lot, so I went with a chic style outfit. I tried to do something like I hadn't done on other challenge days, so I came up with this green blue inspired look which kinda reminds me of snakes for some reason. I guess it's the print on the bag that does that.

100 Outfit Challenge Day 34: New Love

Every now and then, I'll get obsessed with new items in Style Boutique. For a while, it was the biker jackets then skirts from Retrobeat. At the moment, the hot item is these cat socks from Retrobeat. I just fell in love with them as they too cute! I've used these socks in all the colours available for various outfits over the last year. For this outfit, I thought I'd give the blue/brown toned ones a try in this psychedelic/basic outfit. I actually really like the look of this outfit which also features one of other favourite items which are these skirts also from Retrobeat.

100 Outfit Challenge Day 31: Formal

The theme for today is formal which calls for an outfit from Enid Chen of course! I went with this stunning strapless dress in this aqua tone. The hairstyle I've been using for the challenge perfectly suits this chic look and would be suitable for any formal event. If a new brand or style was ever added into a new game in the series, I'd love to see a formal inspired one featuring gowns, prom style dresses and party shoes. I feel Enid Chen has some nice pieces, but I'd love to see more added into the game that aren't just the chic style.

100 Outfit Challenge Day 18: Birthday

Pretty basic theme for today which is to create an outfit that is suitable for a birthday party. I went with an outfit inspired by items from Enid Chen as I was feeling like a Chic outfit was suitable. This dress from the brand is gorgeous but I go do without the giant bow. I'd move it around the back if possible because I feel where it currently is ruins the silhouette of the dress. I used one of the tiaras from Purple Moon as it felt very Sweet 16 and suitable for this look.

Shopdo Update

New set of outfits for this week's Shopdo Update! Continuing on with the pink theme once again and the first outfit for this week is this casual girly look. Just something I threw together quickly and tried to use items I don't normally choose. Second outfit is a chic look features some gorgeous pink tones and hints of glitter. The name Pink Perfection matches it perfectly! The third and final outfit is a cute lively/baby-doll mash-up featuring baby-pink tones. It's a bit more lively than baby-doll but still super adorable! You can find all three outfits at my Shopdo ID 0006271056 in New Style Boutique 3: Styling Star (EUR/AUS Region).

Shopdo Update

Starting off this week's Shopdo update with a stylish Chic styled outfit! I tried to give the outfit a preppy feel to it but still show off the sophistication of the Enid Chen brand. The second outfit is a preppy look of course to match the boutique interior. I've had a lot of fun the last few weeks designing preppy styled outfits as it's a style I love in real life but I'm more into the girly image in the Style Boutique series. No clue on what the new theme will be of my boutique next week, might have to take a look at the miniatures available for some inspiration. The last outfit for this week is a feminine outfit as those have been popular as of late on my Shopdo. When it comes to the feminine style, I'm always drawn towards purple toned outfits. So that was my main inspiration for this feminine preppy look. You can find all three outfits at Shopdo ID 0006271056 in New Style Boutique 3: Styling Star (EUR/AUS Region).

Shopdo Update

Had such a busy day today but I've finally found some time to post this weeks Shopdo Update before the day ends. Keeping with the Valentine's Day inspired boutique interior, I've got three new pink themed outfits. The first being a chic themed outfit thats perfect for a classy Valentine's event. Added in my fave pair of glasses from Enid Chen of course! THe second outfit is a psychedelic look for all those quirky lovers out there. I tried to use some items I rarely use from the brand such as this button up tee and shorts. It's crazy but somehow works. The third and final outfit is a simple girly themed outfit featuring some stripey items. I found these shorts that match perfectly with this outer, I really need to spend more time finding matching sets as I've been discovering quite a few lately. You can find all these outfits as well as my character in a lovely designer outfit from the Design Centre at Shopdo ID 0006271056 if you play New Style Boutique 3: Styling Star (EUR/AUS Region).
