Julie's Swim Set Review

Today I am going to review one of the American Girl outfits I received for Christmas.

Julie's Swimsuit Set is adorable, and it is a really nice item.

                                The bathing suit top is so cute! The pattern is flowers and butterflies,

                                and lace borders some sides of the top. I love how when you put the 

                                top on the doll, it ties around the neck. The top is so colorful and fun.

                                

                               Here is an up close of the pattern on the suit. This pattern is very colorful

                               with butterflies and flowers.

                                The bottom of the bathing suit has the same pattern as the top.

                                The flip flops are red, and have shiny straps. The material of the flip flops

                                feels like foam. I love how there is a clear strap towards the back of the

                                flip flops so they will not fall off the doll's feet.

                                The towel is a great bonus to the set. The quality is awesome and 

                                 it is super colorful and cheery. The flowers and rainbow blend well

                                 and make this towel unique.

                                These red sunglasses are a great accessory for this outfit. They can 

                                 easily be used in other outfits, and seem durable.

                                Overall, this is an amazing set full of beautiful detail and quality.

                                 I would recommend this to anyone because of the great value of

                                 each part of the set. 

My Overall Rating: (1 worst - 5 best)

"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" Photoshoot

Today I am going to share with you some pictures I took of my doll Kanani.
This photo shoot was Christmas themed, and was taken with my tree.

This is sort of random, but I am going to rename Kanani soon, so if you want to comment name suggestions that would be awesome. I have a couple in mind though....

GOTY 2015

The AG World has been buzzing about the GOTY, with theories, news, etc.
She has not came out yet, but we do know some things about her.

1. Her name is Grace; her name had been trademarked online.

2. Grace has two best friends, Ella (a math wiz), and Maddy (an artist). These names were released with the audition information for the movie, so I am not sure if they are just code names.

3. Grace is from Massachusetts. In the book description on Amazon, Grace lives in Massachusetts.

4. Grace is French. In the book description we know she goes to Paris with her mom, and visits her cousin.

5. Grace starts a French baking business with her friends. (Also in the Book Description). Her grandparents own a bakery that might be closing, which Grace wants to save.

6. Grace has a puppy which she will train. (Also in the Book Description).


Here are the Book Descriptions found on Amazon...

Book 1. 

Nine-year-old GOTY is always thinking up big ideas, like starting a business with her friends over the summer! When Mom announces a trip to Paris instead, GOTY gets on board, but it quickly seems as if none of her plans are working out the way she'd hoped. She and her French cousin aren't getting along, and GOTY's friends back home have started a business without her. Can she find the courage to stay open to new ideas and turn the summer around?

Book 2

Back home in Massachusetts, GOTY is excited to start a new French baking business with her friends, and to have an adorable new dog to train, too! But she quickly learns that both the business and the dog are big responsibilities, especially when her energetic pup has difficulty adjusting to her new home. GOTY does her best to give her pet what she needs to be happy. Can she also help her friends blend their unique talents, and whip up a recipe for a successful business?

Book 3 

When GOTY learns that her grandparents' bakery might be closing after 30 years, she's crushed. She can't imagine her life (or her hometown) without the bakery. And how can her own business survive if the one that inspired her cannot? GOTY wonders if she and her friends can find a way to help the bakery using their talents and newfound business skills. Can three girls really make a difference? GOTY is determined to try.

AG Winter 2014 Release Opinions

Hello!

Today I am going to show you the new AG Holiday releases, and give my opinions on them.

You can comment which outfit is your favorite, and also your favorite holiday dress AG has ever released.

           Silver Shimmer Dress

I personally am not really a fan of this outfit because I think

there is too much silver. Plus, I really dislike the length of the dress,

it should be longer, or at least come with tights. The shoes are

cute though, as are the ruffles on the dress.

             Winter White Outfit

The white in this outfit seems blinding. I really

feel like this outfit is unnatural, and seems way too

layered. Plus, it would get dirty very easily. 

The only thing I do like is how easy this outfit is to

mix and match.

         Happy Holiday Dress

I like this outfit, while I dislike it. The color

is gorgeous, but I feel like red would look better.

Maybe because I am more traditional, but

red seems like more of a Christmas color than blue.

Yet I still feel like this dress is very enchanting

for winter time; like a snowflake. 

                 Fair Isle Pajamas 

My favorite part of this set is the pants.

The pants have a sweater design, and look

like candy canes. The shirt has cute embroidery

and looks warm. The boots look sort of flimsy,

but I must admit that they are cute.

      "Hit the Slopes" Collection

Too much money. $34 for an outfit and 

$42 for the skis and helmet. No way.

The skis and helmet are cute, but look like

plastic. The jacket seems crazy, and of course

AG has to advertise their company on it with AG

written all over the sleeves.

              Sparkly Skating Set

The colors look like Elsa from Frozen.

I feel like AG should be more creative with 

this outfit, and go for a different color scheme.

The skates are cute, yet the dress seems too short.

I feel like there should be tights, if this outfit was actually

worn by figure skaters they'd get cold.

         Western Plaid Outfit

AG definitely wanted to reach out to Nicki fans.
This outfit is very interesting. The boots have bands
on them that I dislike. The belt on the dress is cute though.



         Pretty Pink Riding Outfit

This outfit costs too much money, but it is cute.
The scarf and boots are adorable, and I overall
like the use of color. This outfit would be even more
awesome if it came with a helmet.

Christmas is on the way, so I would like to share my wishlist for Doll things.
These items are both OG and AG items. These items are just items I like, and may or may not buy.
Please note that I am not greedy; I know I will not buy or receive most of these items. This post is just to show some items I like, and possibly get readers some ideas of things they might want to ask for if they see something they like off this list.

AG doll once it comes out, I want to jump-start getting the 50's outfits.



              American Girl
          Addy's Crinoline & Chemise

This dress would be perfect for my Felicity & Elizabeth.
The hoop will poof out their dresses like the way the women

The colors of this are so sweet. I love how the apron

flowers without having too many.

This dress seems very versatile, and would look great on
many dolls. The color scheme is simple, which I really
like.

Elizabeth looks amazing in pink.
I just cannot even...



      American Girl: Retired

Ebay charges soooo much for it,

This dress looks so old fashioned
which I LOVE! Rebecca looks so
amazing in this outfit. Violet
