Shopdo Update 2024 - The Final Collection

A sad day is upon us with Nintendo finally shutting down online services for the 3DS on the 8th of April. Unfortunately that means that the Shopdo feature in New Style Boutique 3: Styling Star and Style Savvy: Styling Star will no longer available. So tragic! I wonder how many hours I've spent on Shopdo because I've used it so much and it was a big part of my blog for years. It's shocking that it will no longer be playable soon. 

Decided to upload one final collection in celebration of the service and to go out with some of my favorites! I went with three looks from my scrapbook as these are outfits that I'm proud of and been some of my favourite work in Styling Star. Maybe once the service shuts down, they can exist in cyber space haha. First off is a cute pink dress that was one of my ultimate items in the game and I was obsessed with these. One of the best items added in the game and I add my famous beret to it as all outfits cannot be completed without one. Second look is a simple girly look featuring some excellent items that were always a smash hit. Love these shades of blue and the denim look of the skirt. Lastly we have a glam/flirty look of course because I couldn't go out with a glam look. This image will never die and I will take it to the grave. It was impossible to decide on my favourite glam look from my scrapbook as there was some amazing pink ones. But I went with the purple tones as it felt very Y2K and I feel you could wear this in real life with current fashion trends.

You can find all these outfits at my Shopdo ID 0006271056 in New Style Boutique 3: Styling Star (EUR/AUS Region) for a selected time only! Pretty much only a few days as the service will be offline soon. It has been a wonderful experience posting all my Shopdo looks to the blog as well as my Shopdo posts on the guide blog. I'm kind of sad that it is all over and my very first Shopdo Update was back in 2018. That was forever ago and now we are here at the final one. I wonder how many updates I posted and it would be fun to look back at all the outfits I created. Maybe another time and anyway, I hope you enjoyed this post and come visit!

Shopdo Update - December 2022

It may be the middle of the month, but that's not too late for the Style Boutique Shopdo update. Sorry for the late update as I was having issues with my home internet. A new router got installed and my computer just didn't want to play nice with connecting to it. Finally managed to get it to work this week and had a moment free from work to post the new outfits.

I've decided to keep a pink theme again for the month of December and the outfits are pretty cute! I went with two baby-doll inspired coordinates for look one and three. Haven't used these dresses much and they have some interesting prints on them. The first one reminds me of a carnival with the bright colours and patterns. The third look is the cute bear print dress from Marble Lily and these colour tones look quite beautiful together. The middle outfit is a more casual girly baby-doll look with some baby-doll style elements. I quite like this particular shade of pink in the Style Boutique games. It is so eye catching and makes the outfit stand out!

Shopdo Update - November 2022

I was thinking the other day that it has been forever since I updated my Shopdo. I think it has almost even been a whole year as the last update was maybe around February 2022. Time to change that with a new set of Shopdo outfits and boutique interior! I decided to go with a pink boutique this time as I always feel happy when I see pink and there are plenty of cute miniatures to use for decoration. 

Outfit wise I went with three pink toned outfits in girly, baby-doll and lively themes. It always feels like I use those styles rather often! The girly look was something new for me as I wanted to utilise items I haven't touched. This camisole came to mind and somehow I ended on these shorts to pair with it. Like I both hate and love it. Colours are gorgeous however I think it looks rather bulky. Second look is your typical baby-doll outfit and this time I went with a pretty floral print. Felt like the bag matched up well and was a nice touch. Last look is a pastel lively outfit that I feel could almost past as girly. It just has that girly outfit vibe to me.

Shopdo Update - February 2022

Ah my favourite month of February when I spell it wrong every single time I have to write it. One of these days I'll get it right on the first try. I'm sticking with the brown tone theme for this month's Shopdo outfits and I'm quite fond of one of these looks in particular but more on that in a second. First look is a basic looking eastern inspired outfit using some items I barely use from Kanokoi. I feel that brand has so many items I just never use or even look at! The second look is my favourite and I do love a good psychedelic outfit in Style Boutique. I threw this one together randomly with some cohesion to the outfit but the clash in items kind of works. The final outfit is a classy feminine styled outfit and I went with a softer brown tone for this look.

Shopdo Update - January 2022

Took a short break after finishing the Basics Challenge and now I'm back with January's Shopdo Update. Packed away the Christmas decorations for another year and the boutique has a new stylish interior. I've gone for a wooden look for this month with cute displays around the shop. The wooden furniture always looks amazing in Style Boutique and I love how many items coordinate together. It's always such a pain when you find an item you want to use but then nothing else matches it.

Onto the outfits now and I kind of made these rather quick. I wasn't really in the mood to think up new outfits as I was quite stressed from a family emergency. So I decided to go with some classic looks from my outfit scrapbook. First up is this preppy ensemble that I love the colour combinations of! I cannot get over how well this top matches the skirt. Second is a favourite feminine look of mine. I keep this one in my scrapbook as it is one of the top feminine styled outfits I've made in the game and wanted to keep that memory. Last outfit is a new one that I don't really recall. I must've saved it from a challenge failure or something. It is quite elegant and a mixture of girly and feminine.

Shopdo Update - December 2021

There is a new fancy boutique interior for this month's Shopdo Update! Since it is the festive season, I thought I would go with a Christmas themed look. Isn't is wonderful that the game has these gorgeous festive themed miniatures? More on the layout later as it's time to talk about the outfits. I wanted to go with some looks that were slightly holiday themed and at first I wanted a specific Christmas dress. But then I remembered that it was DLC item in Fashion Forward! That's why I couldn't find it in the new game :( Instead I went with a red themed Baby-Doll look which is kind of winter inspired. We don't have white Christmas season over here in Australia as it's more of a boiling hot season. This outfit reminded me of Christmas outfits I'd see in overseas media. The second look is a Purple Moon outfit as that's the ideal brand for costume looks. The last outfit I titled Christmas Movie as it reminded me of Christmas movies, like those Hallmark ones. I was in JB HiFi recently and they had a huge display of them! Someone probably had an outfit on like this in one of them.

The boutique has a new layout featuring some festive items and it isn't any too fancy. I just went with whatever Christmas themed items but kept it a bit classy. I could've decorated the entire back well in tinsel however it looked a bit tacky (as tinsel usually does). There wasn't an option to place many items around the tree as the game limited the spaces around it. I went with placing the presents on the counter to give it a bit of decoration.

Shopdo Update - November 2021

I wasn't sure what to do for this month's Shopdo Update as I didn't have any outfits in mind. So I just kind of winged it and made some random looks. I just picked a theme and used the search function to find all the light blue coloured items under that theme. The boutique still has the beautiful blue interior as I decided to keep it since it is still spring season.

The first outfit is a simple feminine inspired look and is the perfect casual look for a warmer spring day. I liked how classy the outfit looks yet could be something you just wear out to the shops. I mean the pandemic has turned dressing up just to go to the shops into a novelty as we don't go out much. The next outfit is a lively look as I felt like doing one of those and this look felt very Fashion Forward inspired to me. I remember making outfits with these overalls for lively looks and who could forget the chocolate bar purse? The final outfit is a crazy bold themed outfit I made in like 30 seconds. It truly is something and it reminds me of the glam/flirty style which must be the uggboots and leopard print. I don't hate it but it wouldn't be something I'd make on purpose. It's fun to make these random looks every now and then.

Shopdo Update - October 2021

Another month is upon us which means another Shopdo update is also here! I've stuck with the blue themed boutique for this month as it reminds me of Spring unlike the weather here. It's been non-stop rain and wind for days now! Everything is dreary and wet and I always forget to bring my raincoat to work. Hopefully it will just magically warm up one day but I doubt that will happen as everything is just out of whack this year.

Onto the outfits and I've created a selection of three blue toned outfits. First up is this feminine inspired ensemble and I tried to use items I've always avoided. Turns out there are quite a few light blue toned feminine skirts that I dislike and I couldn't pick one I thought looked good. Ended up going with this patterned one as I was able to find tops and outers that went well with it. I think it turned out ok! Second look is a baby-doll outfit as it felt like I hadn't done one of these in ages. I had even forgotten it was a style for a moment! I quite like this outfit as it's simple and the colour is beautiful. The third outfit is an elegant chic inspired look and I'm not sure why I picked this giant purse. Maybe because of it is blue? It is just so big compared to the rest of the outfit. Oh well, I feel I've never really used this item before so there's a first for everything!

Shopdo Update - September 2021

Updated my Shopdo after what seems like an eternity! These outfits will be up for all of September along with the blue boutique theme. For the update, I wanted to go with something that felt like Spring even though the weather is still cold here. Been absolutely freezing lately and lots of rain! I decided to have a blue coloured theme for this update and went with some fresh looking outfits. 

First up is Blue Spring which is inspired by the type of outfit I'd love to wear if the weather was warm. I've always been a big fan of this skirt from Marzipan Sky so I went with it as main piece. The look is a fun youthful outfit perfect for a day out! The second outfit is a more feminine inspired outfit and I tried to use items I rarely use. Are these types of jeans back in fashion now? I feel everyone talks about them coming back and I'm dreading it. Had enough of them back in the 2000's! The outfit is a casual look ideal for shopping in an outdoor shopping area or on a spring date. The final outfit is a lively look using some items from April Bonbon that I've never really used. I picked out the shorts first and then I discovered this camisole matched them perfectly. I wonder if I've just missed this combination all these years.

Shopdo Update - March 2020

Finally got the Shopdo Update up for March, I had just completely forgotten about it until recently as I didn't realise it was March. So I'm sorry for the late upload of the new outfits :( I've stuck with the same interior as last month as I'm not really feeling inspired to make a new one nor have any ideas for a new layout. I decided to go with colour themed outfits this month for something different. First up is a beige themed outfit as hype for the Colour Collection post I will be posting soon featuring that very colour. I quite like the beige toned items in Style Boutique and I went for a feminine/chic look for this outfit. I tried to use some items I rarely use such as these pants and inner. Next up is a girly look because I'm boring haha. Nah I really like making girly outfits in the game and there is just so many items under that theme that it would take ages to try them all out! Last look is another feminine inspired look and I tried to go for a coffee brown tone for this one. I always use these dresses from Chorale as they are well designed and look great in all the colours. You can find all these outfits at Shopdo ID 0006271056 in New Style Boutique 3: Styling Star (EUR/AUS Region).

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 - January 2020

First Shopdo update for the new decade as well as the new year! Today marks the first day of 2020 and I'll be continuing on with my monthly Shopdo Updates as that schedule has been working out well for me in recent months. I've got a new elegant inspired boutique interior this month and three new outfits to share with you.

I decided to start off with a preppy outfit for my first outfit and I love the pairing of this inner and skirt. The plaid on the skirts matches the cute little tie on the shirt and it looks so classy. Originally I wanted to go with a brown toned outfit to match the other two looks but decided on this look as I like the overall look of it. Second outfit is a feminine outfit to match the new interior and I went with some items I knew went well together. Always used to pair this long sleeve inner with these high-waisted shorts in Fashion Forward. The final outfit is titled Girly Classic as it's a look I used to wear all the time in Fashion Forward and felt like bringing it back for the new year. I always had this thing for pairing these three quarter pants with this particular style of outer. You can find all three outfits at Shopdo ID 0006271056 in New Style Boutique 3: Styling Star (EUR/AUS Region).

Time for the new boutique interior and I decided to go with something elegant and simple this time. The feminine style was the main inspiration and I tried to work with the lighter coloured furniture items. Originally I wanted to use the brick wallpaper that covers the entire three walls but I couldn't find the right counter to match it. I hate how you can't remove the counter as I'd rather not have one and it's a pain to match against other items.

My Favourite Shopdo Outfits of 2019

It feels like I made a gazillion outfits in 2019 for my Shopdo and it is interesting going back through all the outfits to pick out my favourites. I definitely have my favourite styles that I tend to use more than others. My tastes seem to go towards girly, feminine and psychedelic looks. I do love baby-doll outfits as well but not too many ended up on my favourites list in 2019. So let's take a look at my top Shopdo outfits for 2019!

First up is my top three psychedelic looks and this style has really became one of top styles this year. I think using it in heaps of challenges and Shopdo looks has made me appreciate the style more. Styling Star also has a great range of psychedelic items and it's easy to mix them with other styles like lively or girly. The two pink toned outfits below are some of my faves from this year and I've recreated them a number of times in different colours. I chucked the Bread Time outfit in as it just worked out so well and it's rather silly.

Feminine is another style that I've enjoyed working with in 2019 and Chorale has a wonderful selection of items to use in outfits. I tend to stick to colour themed outfits with the feminine style as it creates a nice silhouette and there seems to be trend with short skirts and feminine outfits for me. All these outfits have a running theme of short skirts or trousers and a knit themed top.

Shopdo Update

December is here and that means a new Shopdo update! I have three new outfits for this month and I went with a Christmas theme for the outfits this month. Kept the same boutique interior as I quite like the blue toned look and my character has another girly outfit on that is one of my personal favourites. Onto the new outfits for this month and first up is a floral themed baby-doll look. I went with this pannier skirt as the green and red tones reminded me of Christmas and the roses are quite merry. This is an ideal baby-doll look as it features many key elements to the style: pannier skirt, gloves, bolero and knee high socks. The second look is a cute Santa inspired outfit featuring girly and baby-doll items. I've been quite interested in overalls and overall style dresses recently in real life so I wanted to create a look similar to them in the game. The final outfit for this month a girly outfit titled Pretty Present and I was inspired by the bows on the clothing items for the name. I couldn't think of another Christmas themed outfit so I went with something casual. You can see all these outfits at Shopdo ID 0006271056 in New Style Boutique 3: Styling Star (EUR/AUS Region).

Shopdo Update - Announcement & Blue Girly Boutique Interior

First off with a quick Shopdo Update announcement! From this week onwards, I will be doing monthly Shopdo Updates instead of weekly. With my work schedule, it's a challenge to update my Shopdo each week and with Christmas coming up, it's going to get a lot busier. I've enjoyed doing the weekly updates and coming up with a billion different outfits over the last few years. But it's time to slow down a bit and I will be uploading new outfits at the start of each month. Not sure if I'll change the boutique interior each month yet, depends on how much I like the interior style and outfit wise.

Now onto the outfits! I've given the boutique a new interior as I've packed away the Halloween interior for another year. This time I've gone for a girly themed boutique with a lovely blue colour scheme. All of the Shopdo outfits are themed around this colour scheme. First up is a feminine ensemble that is one of my favourite feminine looks in Styling Star. I love the cut of these new items to the Chorale brand, they look stunning in every colour. The second outfit is a elegant Baby-Doll coordinate as I really wanted to use this combo of the striped skirt and top. The green tie is a nice touch and brings a pop of colour to the blue scheme. The final outfit is a cute casual girly look which I tried to use items I was a fan of in Fashion Forward. I don't use these much nowadays but they always look great together as seen in this outfit. You can find all three outfits at Shopdo ID 0006271056 in New Style Boutique 3: Styling Star (EUR/AUS Region).

Here is a look at the new girly inspired boutique interior and as you can tell from the pictures, the colour blue is the theme of this boutique. I based it off an old pink themed boutique I had in my Shopdo once and just swapped out the furniture items for the blue versions. I really miss the blue tall cupboard miniature that was in Fashion Forward, it would've looked stunning in this set-up!
