Holiday Fashion - A review with Aunt Sissy Originals

2013-12-08T20:17:00.004-08:00

Good evening gals!

Today has been a full day, but I did dress all of my dolls in their Holiday outfits. Oh my gosh! They are so lovely. {Don't worry - I will share photos of that soon}.

I discovered this shop while hunting on Etsy for some Christmas outfits that would blow my readers away! {and I think that that mission we can check off with a check mark!}

ASO carries outfits for your modern 18 inch doll.

For now, I wanted to share with you the fanciest Holiday dress we currently have, this one is from Aunt Sissy's Originals. We love the two piece, lace, printed Christmas fancy set.

Here are some pictures - the model is Evangeline.

My camera died on me as I tried to take a picture of the lovely skirt.

This set came with:

A crisp white cotton long sleeved tee with a front patch of lace.

A stiff type of fabric (taffeta?) with Ivory and Gold imprints.

A bracelet and necklace set.

I also received it wrapped in very jolly wrappings, and a little card for my doll {and a matching one for me!}. Ahh! I am so joyous. The quality is five star, and my mom and I are still not done gasping at it.

I am so happy to be able to share this amazing and hard working shop owner and shop, Lora from Aunt Sissy Originals with you.

Pros:

The quality is amazing, and completely mind blowing.

The shipping was very fast.

it came clean and ready for play!

The wrappings were stunning!

Service is unbeatable.

Cons:

none here!

So, yes, please check out this store! You will not be let down!

Thank you Lora! :)

2013-12-04T19:12:00.000-08:00

Here is a much needed update post.

Whew!

My American Girl Story just hit 65,000 pageviews. I am so estatic and overjoyed! This small blog has grown to be a big successful blog, that is hopefully inspiring to the people reading it and to my sponsors, who are involved as well.

I am so behind on reviews, blog designs, posts, you name it. I feel like I am letting you down. I did get a week off for Thanksgiving, but I felt myself resting instead of blogging. :( {It was good to get some rest though}

Now you are probably all wondering WHY I have had no time. Well, most of you know I started a new school (my first year in awhile in a private school). It takes work, energy and lots of patience to get A's with all of my different teachers. My favorite and bets subjects are currently logic, and math. But I need to work on memorization.

I did get my first report card, and achieved all As. I am so happy, and I have a goal to get a college scholarship for the future. So you can see why I am lacking on everything else.

Doll situation. I actually did put in draft an "all my dolls" post. But then it changed dramatically AGAIN/ Honestly, I cannot make up my mind. I sold like 5 dolls, and then bought 2 more, and then, wow, I have to restart my post. RESTART. Ugh.

Anyway. I am creating a surprise for you.

And photos will be up soon for the contest.

Thank you for your patience with me.

New Release Pictures of the MAG DOLL!

2013-12-01T16:29:00.001-08:00

She "has" red wavy hair, and green eyes. Classic face mold, no freckles.

This stunning gal is sure to be a hitter!

What are your thoughts?

2013-11-19T16:44:00.000-08:00

Good evening doll people!

Hope all is well!

{Let's take a look!}

Really fun skirts!

I love prints.

Talk about a short skirt! ;)

_____________________________

Aren't these fun? They are so reasonable, which makes it great too!

She also sent my these pictures of that polka dot skirt that was just made. What do you think?

I love the picture. SO artsy!

The quality looks great too!

The price is reasonable.

JackiesHeartandSoul Splendid 30's Day with Emmaline

2013-11-13T00:30:00.000-08:00

That vintage and inspiring look re-inventing the 30's.

Emmaline Fern loves the look. {and believe me you will too!}

Today, I am looking into a wonderful shop called JackiesHeartandSoul:

This shop has modern, AND historical looks for your 18 inch doll.

The dress is so well made, with simple sleep lines.

This item shipped super fast, and came in a plastic wrapping, to keep it clean.

{yet another thing I loved about this review, it was super super clean and crisp when it arrived - ready for tons of play time with my dolls}

The quality is a simply cotton, but it holds up well, and to me - looks just like the 30s.

SO REMEMBER to press on the banners for her link or click here:

Thank you Jackie!

HopscotchSundae Review with Majo!

2013-11-11T06:45:00.003-08:00

Good morning to my fellow doll fans!

I received two new dolls to add to my collection, one being Majorine (aka Majo). She is #58 and she loves bright colors. Trying to find an outfit that fits on her skin tone is pretty hard. I recently found a favorite, and I HAD to share it with you. <3

Today we are going to be doing an outfit review from

HopscotchSundae

The clothing is so reasonable, so fashionable, and perfect for fall!

We received our package wrapped with care in pretty tissue paper. The outfit came really fast, which is a must. It came with a white burnout knit tee, a black knit tank top, and fun front and back-sided patterned skinny pants!

As you can see it looks stunning with some easy fringe boots, and a quick curl of hair.

{Lets take a look}

The shirt is of course thin (being knit) but it is very reliable. It is a simple tee. The black tank top is not very clearly shown, but just like Sue, I love the layering look!

Here are the front of the pants {the front and back are different}. They are so quirky, and fun - describing Majos personally perfectly!

{lopsided photo alert}

Here is the lovely backside, with a different look!

And we finish off the photos looking stunning.

We are so happy to be able to have this outfit! It is so stunning.

5 Star customer service.

5 Star outfit with no cons.

5 Star shipping.

Thank you

HopscotchSundae

{https://www.etsy.com/shop/HopscotchSundae?ref=l2-shop-info-name}

Thank you everyone for looking today!

2013-10-26T18:51:00.000-07:00

Forever21 is my inspiration. Some fun skinny jeans, and then a fun blouse, add some awesome Target boots, and a infinity scarf from Rue 21, and BOOM - you have the look finished!

Like this:

Anywhos.

Do you see my point? A FRESH, FUN, URBAN, adorable outfit for a human (or doll). Here are some items from Etsy that I feel are amazing. They need a shout out. {and they go with my theme}

Reading with my Doll - a photo story.

2013-09-19T07:05:00.002-07:00

As requested.

Hello! (: I am Emmeline Fern. That doll whose real name is Emily, which I think is just *not* unique. TO ME. Anyway. I haven't appeared on My American Girl Story, because I dislike writing, and I mean, who cares if I read with my dolls?

Uh, I suppose my manager (aka Rebecca). Lets get started!

I am the doll, nature, and school lover of my family. I have so many hobbies.

Here is me, with my doll. All happy. And then I remembered I don't have the new GOTY doll that came out. :( I will hopefully order her soon.

My chair is from a friend, and it is very comfy. {*cough* yes I do fall off}

Reading is great, sure it is! So is nature. Let us go check out the nature surrounding us.

So pretty. Bark, bugs, and greenery.

Do you see these amazing skinny jeans? I wore my new favorite outfit today. It is from Hopscotch Sundae. A fresh and fun Etsy shop with high quality (and adorable) items!

Here are the back of the jeans. It is like a whole new look!

Me with my doll again.

The outfit from:

https://www.etsy.com/shop/HopscotchSundae

includes a pair of wild skinny jeans, that are so well made. They have front and back pockets, and are easy to get on! A black tank top to layer with, made out of high quality fabric!

And a white overlay burn-out tee, that is fun, and fresh.

We love this company. The shipping was fast, and was wrapped in sweet tissue paper.

So what are you waiting for? GO DOLLS AND CUTE CLOTHES!

Thanks for reading. :)

I do.

Honestly, my addition probably has gotten worse. :P

But anywho. :)

My new "FALL" Etsy line will be released within a few weeks, and I am excited to begin working on it. I hope you enjoy.

Here are some of my ideas. If you have an Etsy shop, I would prefer you don't copy my ideas. But use them for inspiration instead. Thank you!

We are going to have several white shirts with appliqued pictures on them, like this:

We have several more, but we want to keep some of it a surprise. ;)

As for skirts.... We would like some fun patterns. We are thinking about them.

These are just some of the ones I would like to have in knee length skirts. What are your thoughts on these classy fabrics?

As for more lace items, we have:

and more bold yet fun colors.

We will also have the basic lime green, cream/white, and black colors for lace shirts, etc.

Wow. Just wow. This is a collection!

What do you think?

Love you. <3

Buzzin Bea Doll Clothes Review

2013-09-07T08:16:00.000-07:00

Thank you all for reading this morning! I have an all my dolls post coming up, another review (for Hearts4Hearts girls), and a photo-story.

I also want to thank you for 550,000 views, it is nuts. NUTS.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Buzzin Bea is an amazing Etsy shop, loved by all, including famous BeenaandDeena from Youtube. The quality is superb, the fashion is adorable, and the service is great.

What more could you ask for? Nothing.

Everything is there, at your fingertips.

So, here is the long awaited review, and simply unique photo-shoot.

I bought these items:

(the shirt and skirt)

(mint green lace shirt)

Now, lets see, what outfits we can mix and match with!

~~~~~~~~~

Emmeline is modeling the shirt (the shorts are from my Etsy). The buttons are the perfect size. The color is a teal blue with white polka dots. It ties in the front. And it has a "peter pan" collar, for all of you sewers out there. ;)

Top it off with an adorable little pocket, that works.

So 1950s!

Next here is Scarlett wearing the mint green lace shirt, and the white skirt.

The mint green shirt is the perfect color for the summer (which is sadly coming to an end!). It is thick, and great quality. Easy to get on with velcro in the back. The lace in on the sleeves, and is equal quality. Everything is stunning about it, and it is our favorite color in our doll wardrobe!

The skirt has a black elastic wait band, making it easy to get on and off. The fabric is high quality and the perfect knee length skirt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our orders came within 3 days, wrapped in lovely tissue paper. We will and look forward to ordering again from Buzzin Bea.

{Favorite "Buzzin Bea" on Etsy, and wait for new fantastic items to arrive!}

Remember, to check out Buzzin Bea:

2013-09-04T17:12:00.002-07:00

As you can tell from the top, you have no idea what this post will be about. xD ha ha.

Anyway, thank you for reading, and for 140 FOLLOWERS. It means so much. I feel like I have neglected you. School really takes a toll. ;)

So, yes I got two new dolls. They were so cheap, but shhhhhhh they are a surprise for now, y'all find out later. ;)

I should have reviews SOON> Lots of fun ones. And giveaways too. {oh, you like the sound of that!}

A few questions.

1. What would you like to see in my etsy? {prices too}.

2. What would you like me to post?

Thank you for reading.
