STYLE GUIDE


Hi! I'm Twinny - Style Editor and I'll be here every week informing you about new City trends for you clothes and home! This week I'm concentrating on the perfect winter woolies which can be comfortable and stylish. I'll help you be the envy of your friends (and villagers!) Don't worry - I'll keep it affordable.

If you owned Animal Crossing: Wild World, you will of yearned to look like all the other cute villagers (well I did), now in the City you can! These adorable costumes will make you one of a kind, and there's something about them in the snow which will make you all warm and fuzzy inside. If you're going to any WiFi parties this Christmas, I reccomend you wear this Christmas Cracker and watch all your friends gaze at you in awe!
Cat Top: 640 bells
Cat Cap: 120 bells
Both From Able Sisters, All Seasons.

The vintage vibe! You either love it or hate it. Personally I'm a great fan, and I think this outfit really gives the era justice! It's Christmassy and kooky, plus the cosmo flower I teamed it with really ties it together - flowers are free and make a great accessory to an everyday outfit. Try it out when you could do with a bit of sparkle. The tortoise specs are a tad pricey but it really pulls the look together and make you feel a million dollars - it's nerd chic!
Comfy Sweater: 360 bells, Able Sisters
Tortoise Specs: 5,200 bells, GracieGrace
Both only available in the winter season!

Don't be alarmed by this unique look! Clashing bright colours can be pulled off by the most confident characters. The icy blue hair and balloon co-ordinates and give a real winter feel whilst the pink warms everything up whilst giving a groovy look; it's fresh and hip! Design your own shirts to give a customized feel and beat the credit crunch. Be careful with this crazy outfit - don't use too many colours and don't be afraid to show it off!
Strawberry Hat: 640 bells, Able Sisters
Bunny Balloon: Free (From Phineas)
Pro Design Shirt: 360 bells, Able Sisters

Next week I'll be looking at your winter homes! Post on the ACC City Folk Thread to recieve more information and maybe you will appear in the next issue! If you don't think your home is up to scratch but could follow this week's style vibes PT me your pictures!
I also need new models, PT Twinny for a job application.

If you appear in next week's style guide you will recieve a cat cap and cat top!


MidWinter's Day

Yesterday was MidWinter's Day. This is a UK only event, so not many witnessed it. So I decided i'd share it with you. Midwinter's day is supposedly the shortest day of the year (there are the least hours of Sunlight).

The gift for this event is a snow globe! This is a pretty little ornament which will look great in your house. This gift can be recieved from Tortimer who will be waiting for you outside the Town Hall! Just like in most events.
Other than that MidWinter's Day is a pretty average day, just like any other!

I'll be giving away a snowglobe aswell, so to be in with the chance of winning. Answer this question:

When snowmen send you letters, what type of paper do they use?

The first person to answer and post on the Animal Crossing Community - City Folk Weekly thread will win!

This competition has now closed! Winner announced in the next issue.
Next week's issue will give you the chance to win a Yoshi egg!



Villager Gossip


In the next issue we're looking for any villager gossip which has been spread in your town? For example Boone and Ruby might be getting along very well or Bunnie and Jay could have fallen out big time. Also you could tell us about funny little stories which have happened between you and your neighbour. Anything Villager related, we want to hear it!

To tell us about your stories, PT me, Abblecrumble on Animal Crossing Community. Bells and items will be rewarded for any which are shown!

Also send in any questions for Kapp'n, the Agony Aunt into the thread. Or privately to me, Abblecrumble through a PT.
