The second room I decorated in Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer was for Goldie, the golden retriever. She's one of unofficial animal mascots of the game and has featured in a number of the boxes and manuals for the Animal Crossing franchise. To match her elevated profile, I kind of envisioned a blogger persona. Or that of a respected university professor who graduated from college at age fourteen. Naturally had to give her a laptop, as well as piles of books and coffee to drink. So far each room has been the same size which has been limiting in what you're able to do and how you can decorate it. 
The space is kind of quaint and full of antiques like the phonograph and suitcase which makes it feel like a vintage installation. I saw how someone else interpreted this room and well... my effort pales in comparison but I'm still having a lot of fun with the game. You can also revisit clients and change aspects of their room once you're finished. It's important details like that which add longevity to the game. More importantly this game makes me rethink my relationship with interior design as well as the style icons who inspire each room. In this instance it was Alexa Chung and Susana Lau of Style Bubble.
It may come as a bit of a surprise but I actually like playing video games from time to time- especially with my boyfriend. Lately we've been playing Yoshi's Woolly World, which is about as cute as it gets (aside from my beloved Animal Crossing) navigating an amigurumi world to recover balls of wool. In the opening sequence, Yoshis of all different types and colours happily frolic around the home world until the mischievous Kamek bewitches them into balls of yarn and scattering them across various worlds. Aside from the super cute, pastel graphics every time you save a new Yoshi you can choose to customize yourself in their image! The combination of easier boss battles, cute graphics and easy mode for beginners makes this game perfect for small children between the ages of five and ten. Or bigger kids like me who aren't the best at video games (aside from Super Smash Bros. where I kick ass!) Sorry for the slight deviation, there'll be plenty more fashion tomorrow. 1-GameSpot, 2-Nintendo Enthusiast, 3-Nintendo Store, 4-NintendObserver, 5-TheGamersHub, 6-CtrlHelp, 7-NintendoLinked.
