Designer Item - Yoshi Logo Tee

Here is one of my latest creations in the Design Centre that I thought I would share. This weeks item is a cute tee featuring the Yoshi emblem! This emblem can only be unlocked using a Yoshi amiibo in Styling Star and can be used on various designer items. I rarely use the emblems but thought it would be cute to create a logo tee featuring one of the amiibo emblems. The t-shirt design options are quite lacklustre in Styling Star, so I just went with a simple design with pink and green colours to match the emblem colours.

One Item Challenge - Marble Lily

Time for a new challenge series on my blog. This time it's the One Item Challenge! The point of this challenge is to select one item from a brand and create outfits of each image/style in the game based around that one item. As with all my other Styling Star challenges, I will be creating outfits based off the defunct styles such as glam/flirty and sporty as well as a Purple Moon outfit.

So for the first post in this new series, I've chosen a skirt from Marble Lily as my one item. The skirt is Gingham Skirt in the colour pink. So every outfit in the challenge will contain this skirt and I'll create an outfit based around it. 

Baby-Doll
Here is the first outfit in the One Item Challenge which is the Baby-Doll look. Thought I'd start out with the original image of the skirt. This seems like the perfect time to take advantage of the less puffy skirt to use one the outers from Marble Lily. I rarely use the jackets from this brand as I dislike how they push down the fullness of skirts and dresses.

Lively
Honestly this is one my favourite outfits I've created this year. It's just too adorable and so over the top. I went a little crazy with the pink as it's my favourite colour. I actually featured this outfit in my Shopdo a few weeks back (with a slight adjustment to the accessories). Saved this outfit to my scrapbook as I'll definitely come back to it in the future.

Eastern
This one turned out quite lovely and I just love the design on the shirt. Sometimes it can be challenging matching colours with items under the eastern image. For this outfit, I just looked for pink or lighter coloured items. The cherry blossom hair clips from Purple Moon were a nice touch to the outfit.

YesAsia Haul - MOMOLAND, I.O.I & Crayon Pop

Received a YesAsia order yesterday that I had been waiting for. Two of the items were pre-orders I made last month so it took a while between ordering the items to them actually being shipped. This order had some exciting items in it, one of them being something I've been wanting for years. So here is my recent YesAsia order of albums from I.O.I and MOMOLAND and a DVD from Crayon Pop!

First, here's MOMOLAND's fourth mini album Fun To The World which I received. It is their recent Korean release and I have to say the album cover is so boring in my opinion. I'm just not a fan of boring cover designs and would rather have images of the group on there. I wish they had used the promo material for the cover like what was shown on the item listing rather than this boring one. Nice album though, much smaller than their other releases I've got from them. Will post a review soon of the album! I received Ahin's photocard which was nice as she's one of my favourites. Would've liked to have gotten JooE's as hers looked amazing or maybe Jane's as I quite like her look with this comeback.

Now I wasn't originally planning on ordering this I.O.I album, but I saw on the net that their albums were being re-issued last month. So I thought why not order the only one I was missing for my collection which was Miss Me? It's a nice album, packaging is a bit weird as the photobook just sits in a slot and the photocard keeps coming out. I got Somi's photocard which I was so ecstatic about when it fell out. It's super cute!

Lastly, here's the item that made this order all worth it. Now I've been after the Pop In Japan DVD from Crayon Pop since it came out. However it was priced quite high on most online stores so I never brought it. But one day I was scrolling through the deals on YesAsia and to my amazement, the DVD was listed as a Great Deals item for only $11.99USD! At the time, I couldn't place an order so I waited a few weeks till I was able to hoping the item wouldn't go up in price. Luckily the price jumped up right after I ordered it! Usually the item is listed for around $50AUD so it was a steal at this way cheaper price.

Shopdo Update

The lively boutique is staying for another week as I haven't had time to make a new one as I've been crazy busy lately. I have managed to find sometime to post my weekly Shopdo update! The first outfit for this week is another lively outfit. I really wanted to use this crazy looking jacket so after I decided on that I just found random pastel coloured items for the rest of the look. The second outfit is a baby-doll/girly look that features a nautical tone to it. I built this outfit around the outer as I quite liked these in Fashion Forward. The final outfit is a baby-doll outfit since I haven't done one in a while. Just a simple red coordinate with more of a casual look. So if you would like to visit my Shopdo, you can at ID 0006271056 if you play Style Boutique (EUR/AUS region).

Mismatched Outfit Challenge

Back when I did my 30 Day Outfit Challenge in Styling Star, there was one day which had the theme of creating a mismatched outfit. I thought the concept of that particular theme was interesting, so I tried doing a complete challenge of mismatched outfits belong to each image in the game. Like all my challenges, I've included styles that have been removed from the series such as sporty and glam/flirty as well as an outfit made from Purple Moon branded items.

The rules for this challenge is to pick an image and when you are at the clothes selection screen, start with the inner category. Close your eyes and move the slider up and down randomly then select an item on the screen. The item you pick will be the inner you wear and then repeat the process with the other clothing categories. You will need to pick between pants or skirts with outfits or some outfits you can use dresses instead of inners/outers. This method will result in some hilarious and interesting outfit combinations.

We'll start off on a good note with the best outfit created in this challenge. Honestly I thought the preppy outfit turned out the most cohesive and put together. All the items almost matched besides the bag. Luckily the bag from Stage Dive that was chosen has a similar yellow colour to the emblem on the Brooke Bridge inner so it wasn't a terrible colour match.

Here are the remainder of the mismatched outfits in no particular order. The Baby-Doll and Gothic themed outfits weren't terrible, just had a few items that ruined the coordination of the look. The Baby-Doll one was going well until the gloves got added and then it went down hill from there. The Boho-Chic outfit turned out well and has a nice colour scheme. Kinda looks like most Boho-Chic outfits I make in game to try and sell items quickly to customers. The worst look in my opinion out of all the outfits is the eastern look. It's just such a mess and nothing matches. Pains me to look at it haha.

Shopdo Update

Keeping the lively themed boutique for another week because it's just so bright and fun. This weeks outfits tie into the lively look and belong to three different themes. The first outfit is a copy of the outfit my character is currently wearing. This outfit is from a challenge I will be posting sometime this month and I've just loved it since I put it together. The only change I made was using a different necklace. The second outfit is a girly look using some April Bonbon items. I tried to do the entire outfit in April Bonbon branded clothes, but I couldn't find some items that fitted with the look I was going for. So I used some items from Marzipan Sky and Chorale. The final outfit is a psychedelic look which is the matching style to lively. I went with a space theme using items that had a star pattern on them. No bags in any of this week's outfit as none I felt matched the looks. You can visit my Shopdo at ID 0006271056 if you play Style Boutique 3 (EUR/AUS region).

June Favourites

June was such a busy month and I've been insanely busy lately, so this month's favourites are a bit late. Managed to get a variety of posts up on Marzipan Wonderland this month which I'm proud of. I'm going to be pretty busy for the next few weeks so posts might be spaced apart. I do have some exciting challenges for New Style Boutique 3 to post so look out for those! Now onto the favourites!

Gaming
Besides playing New Style Boutique 3 and Animal Crossing on the 3DS, I've been really into this game on Steam lately called Voodoo Garden. It's a clicker style game where you create a garden filled with different flora and animals. I got it ages ago during a sale but only really got into playing it this month. It's similar to Plantera which I've played previously and enjoyed.

Music
Earlier this month, I was lucky enough to find KARA's debut Korean album in a second hand book shop. I was absolutely thrilled to see it and it was only $1.50! I didn't have this one for my collection yet and I just changed the case over to a new one to make it look all nice.

Been listening to a few songs this month. I've really been into SudannaYuzuYully スダンナユズユリー this month who are a sub-unit of E-girls. The group has one of my favourite E-girls members Yurino in it so it's nice to see her singing and rapping instead of just performing.

MOMOLAND released a new song which is just as good as BBoom BBoom. Their new title is called Baam and has a similar sound to their previous track. But I don't mind as it's still fun to listen to and has a dance which reminds me of T-ARA's Lovey Dovey. I have purchased their new mini album which should arrive in a few weeks along with two other exciting titles.
