Additional Tip:
Though it may seem that the game showers you with lots of free currency at the beginning of the game, try not to be tempted to spend all your currency straight away the array of outfits available in the store. While you can earn lots of the different currencies in the game almost every day, you'll want to save them -- particularly for crafting outfits you'll need to complete levels later on (to save you from doing IAPs instead to get past difficult levels in the game). You may instead try to settle for the items you need to pass levels -- and then try to beat S-ratings later on when you have better items in your wardrobe.
