SELFY COLLECTION - Colour Outfits Collection - Green

Time for another round of outfits in SELFY COLLECTION: The Dream Fashion Stylist! Now that I've figured out how to manoeuvre the terrible search functions, it's easier to create outfits in the game. This time I've gone for a selection of green outfits from my Colour Outfits Collection. Now green is an interesting colour in the game as it covers a variety of shades and styles. There was a number of old-fashioned items that came up but I didn't choose too many as I thought that would make the outfits look similar to each other. Instead I tried to go with a mixture of themes and I really loved how they turned out. 

The pastel toned outfits are honestly my favourite which might be due to my current love of pastel tones. I thought the lighter green toned hairstyles looked the best and had some gorgeous designs. I actually kept forgetting which ones I had already used and I kept trying to reuse them as I liked them so much! Quite a few steampunk inspired looks in this bunch and that is a cool style I think fashion games should embrace more. I guess because it isn't trendy, it won't be appealing to players. The second to last outfit reminded me of Christmas with its colour scheme. Maybe it was the snow background that gave off that vibe.

MODEL Debut2 #nicola Play Journal - Becoming A Top Model

* Please visit my MODEL Debut #nicola page for more fun blog posts about the game series including the third installment MODEL Debut3 #nicola - Marzipanini *

The first play journal of MODEL Debut2 #nicola is here! I've been playing a fair bit of the game recently and I love it so much! It is super fun and all the clothing items are gorgeous! It is definitely filling that Style Boutique void in my heart. Doesn't the title screen look adorable? I quite like the character models in this game and they are well animated in the game when you talk to characters. The girls on the far left have the cutest outfits and I've actually tried similar looks myself in the game.

The first part of the game is the character customisation of course! There are a wealth of items to choose from and easily scroll through. You basically move through the categories on the top and select one from the box below. The categories for face customisation are: eyes, face shape, eye type and placement, lips, eyebrows and skin tone.

One Year Challenge Week 1: Hearts

I'm back with a brand new Style Boutique outfit challenge! This time I wanted something a bit more involved so I've decided on posting one for an entire year. Now I'm not doing something crazy like posting everyday as that would be mental. The goal for this challenge is to post a set of themed outfits each week for 52 weeks. Which adds up to an entire year! Each post will contain three different outfits related to the theme of the week. For this challenge, I'm going to try to use items I rarely use. Some are easier to find as they have a big 'new' on them and others will be ones I'll need to search for. I think this challenge will be quite fun and I'm looking forward to creating a variety of beautiful and unique outfits for the next year. All the outfits for the challenge will be posted on the One Year Challenge page which I will update often. So let's get started!

The theme for the first week of the One Year Challenge is hearts! Something simple for the first set of outfits. After looking at these pictures, I feel these outfits turned out with a glam/flirty style. That may be due to these items have that style associated to them and remind me of the Miss Ribbon brand. Honestly I love all three of these looks and cannot pick a favourite. The pink tones in the first outfit are gorgeous, the second look has a fun lively feel to it and the third just screams glam!

Animal Crossing New Horizons Play Journal - Chairs & Concerts

Onto the next set of screenshots from Animal Crossing New Horizons and we will start off with some fun fireworks snaps from the New Year celebrations. So happy I had my island decorated as it made the pictures look amazing! Plus how nice do paths look? I'm very much a player that enjoys straight pathways in the game so I try to make them as accessible as possible. The fireworks looked amazing around the island and I loved seeing the areas come to life. The shot where my character is letting off some streamers in the flower garden is a great shot!

モデルデビュー2 ニコラ MODEL Debut2 #nicola!!!

Earlier this week I received a very special parcel in the mail and I am way too excited for this! I brought a Nintendo Switch game from Japan called MODEL Debut2 #nicola which is a fashion simulator game. Now I'm sure my readers by now have figured out that I really like fashion simulator games as I tend to post a lot about the Style Boutique series haha. Unfortunately Style Boutique is not available on the Switch and there isn't many fashion titles out there. So I'm rather excited to get hold of this game to live out my fashion dreams!

Originally I wasn't planning on buying this at all but decided to after a conversation with some friends. We were discussing cute games on the switch and I brought up MODEL Debut #nicola which is first game in this series. Once I googled it, I discovered there was a sequel released only just last year. Then that was all I could think about it! So I ended up ordering a copy from YesAsia because I thought why not? I've been dying for a fashion game on the Switch and this is the best thing I have available. I did buy some k-pop albums as well from YesAsia which I will post about soon.

The game is known as モデルデビュー2 ニコラ in Japan and there is a fair amount of information about the game online. It is based on a magazine targeted towards girls that is released in Japan and the 3DS had a game by the same magazine called Girls Fashion Shoot. MODEL Debut2 #nicola is a sequel to the first switch game and the graphics have definitely been improved! I love the poses on all the characters and the outfits look gorgeous. There are a number of activities you can do in the game such as coordinate outfits, take part in photoshoots and advertising campaigns or change hair and makeup. There is even a dating simulator part of the game apparently! I haven't got up to that yet so I cannot comment on it too much.

 

July Favourites

Almost to the end of winter! It actually hasn't been a cold winter until the last week or two. It's been quite cold and everyone has been commenting on it. I feel like July was such a waste for myself as I was sick for most of it. I had a bad chest infection that knocked me out for a while and I'm still trying to get over it! Being sick is the worst and especially the worst when you cannot do anything.

Gaming

Many just some announcements for this section and first off is that I did buy that new Nintendo Switch game I was mentioning in last months favourites. I will be posting about it tomorrow so please come back to the blog to check out what I got (it's rather exciting!). Second is that I will be starting a new Style Boutique challenge! This one is going to be a rather long one and the first post will kick off later this week. Here is a sneak peak at one of the challenge outfits!

Stationery

Received an order from Aliexpress this month which contained some great items! The whole point of this order was to purchase one of those cutters for washi tape. I've been seeing them on Instagram and I thought that would be useful. Same with the tweezers which were another Instagram recommendation. Originally I thought there was no way tweezers would make using stickers easier but omg it actually does. Definitely worth the purchase! I got some cute bear stickers and another Sumkkio Gurashi sticker book. Almost have all four in the set now! The pins and card holder are for work and work great! No other exciting stationery as I didn't go into town this month as I was still sick!

Music

Got some new K-Pop albums this month and I will make a post about those soon. It was exciting to get some albums as it feels like forever since I brought new ones! Been listening to a lot of music but nothing too exciting. Mainly been listening to Stay Together from the Kaiser Chiefs which the song Press Rewind stuck in my head for ages. Another two I've been listening to is Hits To The Head from Franz Ferdinand and dream world from dream. So many good songs on the latter album and I love all the Eurobeat covers.

Outfit Of The Day - Regretful Choices

Not sure how to explain this outfit and no idea what on earth I was thinking when I created it. It's quite bizarre, like a weird mixture of baby-doll and feminine. I feel it wouldn't be too bad if I hadn't of used the bolero style outer. If the outer had less frills on it, it would've matched better as it just it too opposite of a style to the rest of the outfit. Oh well we all have those dud outfits every now and then. I must've thought this looked amazing when I originally made it as this is an old set of screenshots I had saved for a blog post. The best part about this outfit though is the beautiful blue tones of the clothing items. This deep blue is gorgeous and blends in well with the backdrop.
