A Teenager's Dollhouse : June 2013

New Dolls + New PJ's + Tropical Bloom!

Here we go again. ;)

Let's start with the new dolls!

Above, is the new MAG #59. She is very pretty....she looks a TON like one of mommy's friends....but we won't bolle getting her.

And now, #60. (below)

Mommy says that doll will be our sister soon. Most likely to be named Katniss. ;)

Okay, now for the new PJ's!

Very cute! We will be picking these up. ;)

Do you see the weird line on the shirt? coming right across the center? Yeah. We don't like that. We didn't even consider buying it when we first saw it, but now, it's grown on us. We love the shoes and top is a nice color, and the leggings are cute too!

But....IT COMES WITH A HEADSCARF!

Yep.

Well, that's it for today.

Toodles!

Sports Outfits, Scenes, and the new hoodie!

I apologize if these posts are boring you to death, but we are currently working on a new post series so, we have nothing really to post about. ;)

First off, the new basketball outfit (above). We really loved the old the one! We liked the colors on the old one but they were kind of well..bland. The new one looks more like a girl's basketball team uniform. I don't really know which I like better, but I have a feeling this will be coming home soon. ;)

The outfit looks really cute....just NOT on that doll!

Okay now the "2-in-1" Track Outfit.

2-in-1? I think not. What makes the old one 2-in-1? It came with long pants, and a jacket. This one just comes with a jacket. Which stinks, because we were saving for the old one. :( There's always eBay though, am I right? XD Anyways, not really impressed here. No long pants, just a jacket....the colors are cute but the old one looked a bit more realistic and would be good for a custom boy too.

Overall, we like basketball outfit. Hate the track outfit. End of story.

Okay, now to the scenes!

The one thing this release everybody was intrigued with, is something I had never thought of them making! It is a truly great idea. Scenes!

American Girl released four of them, and I am curios to see if they will release more in the upcoming releases for the historical or GOTY's.

First, our least favorite, the park scene.

It's for sure cute and a great idea and would be used frequently at our house! But why don't we like it? It just looks fake. The trees are fake, the pond is fake, the grass is fake, it's all fake!

One word: unrealistic!

Okay, now the Gala Scene.

The Gala scene is really cute, especially the topiaries! It just wouldn't be used a ton over here. And, what's with the name? A gala is a big ol' party! (we know, we saw the my little pony episode XD, but seriously, we did) What's pictured right there is fancy dinner.

Now, to our favorites;

I think the classroom scene is really amazing! I really love how it includes the AG desks, because if you have them, you could put the in front of the scene and it would like the doll is apart of it.

Now to our fave, the Winter Fun!

Even though it's fake just like the park scene, AG did a good job concealing that. ;) We will probably get this during winter time and make a little ice rink in front of it!

And now, to the new hoodie!

3 words: Add. To. Bag.

What do you think of the new items? We'd love to hear!

Mix and Match Collection

So just about every post that has been posted within the last 24 hours has been about the new items. Well, here's another one of those posts for ya. ;)

Above, is the "Mix and Match Collection" from American Girl. We are impressed....these pieces would be great for mixing and matching! but together? No, I don't think so.

Let's take a closer look. ;)

This (above) weird looking green shirt outfit looks just plain....odd. XD

Look at the shirt!

What do you think we are....5 year olds? I haven't worn a "sequined" shirt in YEARS!

Now, the pants from this outfit look ok, so I'm not going to get into those...but the shoes..

Now, I can see where they got the yellow! The hair clip in the outfit is also yellow. I think I'm the only person that actually thinks the outfit is color coordinated. :P

But ummm why is there blue bows? It looks cute and would be great for mixing and matching but not with this outfit!

Moving on to the hoodie outfit.

That doll modeling that outfit, do you see her? Meet mommy's newest doll obsession. sigh....

Anyways the hoodie...

Do you see the weird little orange lines at the arms? Does anybody else think that is weird?

That's about it with that outfit....it's okay...

Now, the Sweater Outfit.

First off, WHO WEARS A SWEATER WITH A SKIRT?

I mean, you wear sweaters in the winter, but do you wear skirts?

You wear skirts in the summer but do you wear a sweater?

Yeah. I didn't think so.

Anyways, we love the pattern of the skirt and the headband, but the shoes....

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? \

I mean seriously?

Whatever.

But, if you buy all the outfits together, you get these bonus accessories. (above) which are really cute! :D

Now, you've heard all our ranting...but why do we still want to buy them?

Picture via Doll Diaries

Right there. Now all the outfits look great! Except, the one in the top left that is just too much orange. :P

Do you like them?

Giant chunks of hair are now sold from American Girl!

So...a little FYI American Girl has come out with new items today. ;)

We all new this was coming.......

<--- That thing....right there. Not the doll, she is actually nice to look at. Not her outfit, that's OK too. It's the giant ridiculously enormous chunk of hair now sold from American Girl. Can you believe it? WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND WILL PAY 20$ (which can change a person's life you know!) FOR A PIECE OF HAIR MADE TO LOOK LIKE A BUN!

I wouldn't. We're sorry if we are offending you, but these are our personal opinions. ;)

I mean, honestly! That is just teaching young girls to be like those stuck up children from Toddlers and Tiaras! It is modeled on a short haired doll. (don't her number...) and yes, it would be cool to be able to have a bun for your short haired dolls. My sister, Abagaile, is MAG 37. She would love be able to have a bun! Naturally though. Not by spending a fortune for a fake hairpiece. I don't WHAT AG was thinking with this item.

Now lets see what other hair stuff they have.

This curly pony (right) is just as bad as the bun. For 18 whopping dollars, you can buy a hair extension that goes down to your doll's behind! YAY! No. Just kidding! That is seriously just like Toddlers and Tiara's. I mean just ugggg! What were you thinking? That is ridiculously LONG! I have a feeling the people who buy this are the people that missed out on Kanani. :P. But, this doll modeling the ponytail. I could give her a ponytail myself! I could make it curly (curlers from AG, or dip her hair in hot water while in curlers ;) )

That ponytail just looks wrong.

Moving on.

To your left, we have highlights. For 12$. Now, when we were looking at these, they had a video showing how to put these on. Which was pretty cool, if you ask me. ;) But, if you just want the pink one, that costs 3$ from the Springfield collection (sold at Micheal's and JoAnn's).....notice a price difference? You could probably color the one from Springfield to get the color you want too. Anyways, during the video they showed the purple highlight on a doll with black hair (don't the number...) and it looked AMAZING! We might get this if we get that doll. ;)

Now, the only thing we most likely may buy is this braided headband...(below)

It's not a big chunk of hair, and it's not a whopping 20$ so..maybe. But this is the only new hair piece that we consider buying..maybe. It still feels weird to think about buying fake chunks of hair..

So, what do you think about the new hair stuff?

We aren't impressed.

More thoughts coming in future posts for new items. ;)

A New Family Portrait

Because Saige joined the family, we needed a new family picture! We aren't 100% happy with this...but I guess it will do for now. ;) So, how was your week? Mine was b-o-r-i-n-g! And another note, we are extending our Fourth of July contest! E-MAIL US PICTURES PEOPLE!!!!

Anyways...mommy is really excited to start another week of horse camp next week! :D Today she trotted/galloped by herself! Which is a huge thing for mom, because the first time she rode a horse (with somebody leading her) was Monday. And my mother is scared of practically everything. XD She was shaking the whole time Monday! Even about half an hour after she got off! The first time she rode without somebody leading her was yesterday, and she was so pumped! :) Then today, when they told her to try and gallop..she did it..and almost fell off.

But she was okay!

Enough about mom and horses....how was your week?
