January Favourites

I am so happy this month is finally over as it has been something. There was a lot of issues with the pandemic here and I haven't been out at all besides work and medical appointments. The latter was a big one as I had some surgery on my leg and luckily it is getting much better now. After years of difficulty, my leg is finally back to normal and not painful anymore. Anyway onto the monthly favourites for this month and I feel like I didn't do much. 

Oh one thing that did happen was that I started a tumblr again! I used to have one many years ago but unfortunately deleted it! Got bored the other day and decided to restart one up. I'm not very good at using the site at the moment so please excuse how terrible it looks. Please give me a follow if you use the site as well ♡ My tumblr is just for mindless stuff really that I fancy and think is cute. Expect lots of j-pop/k-pop content as well as some Style Boutique and other gaming posts. You can find me at https://marzipanwonderland.tumblr.com/ 

Gaming

Been playing a fair bit of both Animal Crossing New Horizons and Styling Star. Also played some Cooking Mama whilst I was recovering. I've just started decorating my house in Animal Crossing which is gonna take forever as I'm just kind of winging it and seeing what works. I've got plans for a few rooms but it would be great if the side rooms were larger. I have been making lots of new outfits in Styling Star so I will have quite a few to share on here!

Stationery

I filled up my very first journal the other day and I'm quite proud of myself. One for sticking to journaling often and for actually filling up an entire notebook! My workmates always joke about never using notebooks as they are too nice and I felt like that too. But then I realised the paper is just sitting there doing nothing and it's much nicer to use it for it's purpose. I brought this Scooby-Doo notebook ages ago at work as I thought it was groovy but never used it. Then one day I decided to take up journaling and the rest is history. I did manage to add nearly 2 extra centimetres to the notebook from all the stickers and papers I added! Oops! My new journal is the same style but with Pusheen on it (got suckered again at work by the cuteness).

Shopdo Visits - Nice Outfit!

The other day, I booted up my 3DS in my boredom and decided to visit a few Shopdo's for old times sake. Boy it's been forever since I last played Style Boutique 3, I was even confused at a few of the menus haha. I thought I'd try visiting some players online as I haven't done a Shopdo post for ages. Starting off, I decided to visit a few Owner ID's from my Style Boutique blog and these players were all gorgeous! It was so fun seeing how everyone had dressed up their characters and there was a diverse range of styles.

Shopdo Visits - The Mega Post

This is going to be one mega post as I've been visiting a lot of Shopdo's recently and haven't done one of these style of posts for ages. I went through all the boutiques I had saved to my favourites in the game and visited them all. These boutiques were saved as favourites for a variety of reasons; boutique design, character or catalogue outfits.

First off was this boutique which I assumed the person was a fan of Jennie from Blackpink as all her outfits were named after her. Her character even had a Jennie inspired outfit on! I thought that was super cute and who doesn't love a bit of Blackpink? I love their Japanese album, especially Playing With Fire. I hope they bring out an English album now that they are signed to a US label, I'd love to see some new tracks from them.

Next is some random boutiques I visited and I have to say that I adore all their outfits! People have such unique ideas that I would've never done myself. The first player has the most gorgeous gothic/baby-doll inspired outfit using one of my favourite new dresses in the game. I think I saved the fourth boutique with the chic player as I loved their boutique layout. It's so elegant and sophisticated and reminds me of real life boutique.

Shopdo Visits

It's Shopdo visits time again! I've had these pictures saved for a few weeks now so I thought I would post them. First off, I visited a blog reader of mine and another Style Boutique player Perfidie! Loved the chic outfit and cute kitty sitting on the floor of the boutique. I use that same decorating trick because you doesn't love kitties. You can visit Perfidie here on tumblr!

Next is this cute player I came across on Shopdo. I loved how simple yet girly/elegant their outfit looked. Pink and grey always look lovely together and the blonde hairstyle brings the outfit together.

Found a psychedelic style player on Shopdo, I usually find the best ones on there. I was quite amazed at how great their outfit looked with the combination of the Kanokoi skirt with Retrobeat items. It totally works! Totally groovy boutique layout featuring another cute cat.

I just had to take a photo with this player as they had an amiibo inspired shirt on as well. I thought we matched well with their Star Hairpin and Legend of Zelda items and my Kirby Tee.

Lastly is a player that I thought had a particular elegant outfit. Their hair is perfect and I love the chic/feminine coordinate. The design of their boutique also caught my eye, I thought it was very unique.

Shopdo Visits - Tumblr Edition

Haven't done one of these in a while, so I thought I'd share some Shopdo's I visited recently.  I had an idea to try visiting players from social media as something different to just picking ones from the Shopdo App. All these Shopdo's are players from tumblr so I've linked their accounts in the description on each Shopdo. Some of these players I may have visited before in my Shopdo Visits, so there could possibly be repeats.

I quite liked this players boutique layout as I thought it was quite colourful and a fun room to be in. Their player has a cute preppy/girly style outfit on and I liked the way they paired knee high socks with those shirt style dresses.

A lovely gothic/chic style mash-up was my impression from this players boutique. Their hair and make-up is on point! I'd never tried to use that vest with the musical note skirt but it totally works! Inspires me to try using those vest style items from Raven Candle more.
