Patriotic Dolly!

Hi!

The lovely Sandra from 123 Mulberry Street has sent us an adorable patriotic outfit to review!

Isn't it adorable?!?!

 Way too cute!!!

 And patriotic!

 Hailey looks so cute in it!

 And white shorts have such a fantastic mix and match potential!  New summer staple!

I love the sweater, too. :) 

IN LOVE. 

I love the little pockets. :)

This outfit is way too cute, and it's so patriotic!  It matches with my Sea Breeze Romper shoes perfectly.  This is such a fantastic 4th of July outfit. :)

The quality is fantastic, and it all fits perfectly on the doll.   The sweater is super stretchy and very easy to get on the doll.  The white shorts have an elastic waist band, and extremely realistic pockets. :)  Both items can just be pulled right on in no time!

The wide scoop neck is also very pretty, and really flatters the dolls with their wide shoulders. :)  Necklines are tricky with AG's, but Sandra hit a home run with this one!

I love that there is such great mix and match potential!  This sweater totally works with denim shorts and jeans, and you have no idea how excited I am to have white shorts for my dolls!!!  Yay!!!

I want to give a HUGE thank you to Sandra for sending us this outfit; we love it!!!  Make sure to check out 123 Mulberry Street for all of your dolly fashions!  She has fantastic looks!

Thanks for reading!

Oobleck

All opinions are my own.

Hi!

Today I have the opportunity to review some gorgeous nail polish from Jenna of LynBDesigns!  She sent me the gorgeous color Oobleck from the Many Colors of Suess Collection.


Isn't the color GORGEOUS?!?!?!

I absolutely love it!!!

And the name is just too cute!! 

 LOVE

This nail polish is fantastic.  The consistency is perfect; not runny and not sticky.  It paints on extremely easily, and doesn't make a mess like some polishes can.  After it is removed, it doesn't stay in the cracks of your nails (so nice!!!).  I hate it when you have the color of your last polish stuck on your nails for a long time.  Such a pain.  This one does not do that, and it comes off very nicely.  I really have nothing bad to say about this polish.  It is ideal in all aspects!!!  The consistency is perfect, the color is great, I love the glitter in it that makes it sparkly, it comes off nicely.... I mean, what more could you ask for?!?!?!

Pros:
Perfect consistency.
Paints on nicely.
Gorgeous color.
Sparkly glitter inside.
Comes off easily.
Doesn't stay in the cracks of your nails.

Cons:
None!!!

This nail polish is fantastic, and if you are looking for good quality, creative polish, LynBDesigns is the place to go!!!  Jenna has all sorts of different collections with fabulous colors!!!

Make sure to place your order today, because Jenna has a 35% off code ending today.  Hurry!  Here's the code: SHERLOCK

Also, make sure to check out Jenna's blog here!

Thank you so much, Jenna!!!

Flowery Fun!

Disclaimer: This post contains a review

by One Girl's Dream.  All opinions are 
my own.
Hi!

The lovely Mary Ann from One Girl's Dream has generously sponsored me with an adorable American Girl outfit for me to review!!!  Audrey is a lovely model for it. :)

Isn't it lovely?

 Audrey loves it!

 And she looks so adorable in it!

 Cute!

 Peek-a-boo!

I LOVE IT!!!

Isn't this outfit gorgeous?!?!?!  I think Audrey looks fantastic in it!

This outfit is fantastic quality, AND it comes with shoes and a necklace!!!  Pretty cool, right?  The denim vest comes off (forgot to take a picture of that... oops), which makes it a very versatile outfit; you can have a pretty dress, a vest with it, or the vest with a different outfit!

The dress has a very lovely floral print, and the vest is lined with the same fabric as the dress.  The dress has a tank top-style neckline, and looks adorable on the doll.  This outfit is definitely a new summer staple for my girls!  The vest is a bit hard to get on and off because you have to re-string the twine in the front every time.

The shoes are WAY too cute, and are so realistic!  They even have a buckle on the sides!!!  The necklace is a gorgeous pearl choker, and goes super well with this outfit!!

Pros:
Great quality.
Versatile outfit.
Comes with shoes and necklace.
Beautiful fabric.
Adorable shoes.
Pretty necklace.
Easy on/off of dress.
Great velcro closure.

Cons:
Difficult on/off of vest.

Even with the difficult on/off of the vest, I would still give this a 5 out of 5 stars!!!  It is just way too cute, and super versatile!!!  I LOVE it!  One Girl's Dream is an amazing shop, and if you're looking for a cute outfit for your doll, then One Girl's Dream is the place to go!  There are so many cute outfits that both you and your doll will love so much, you'll be jealous that you can't get it in your size!!!

Thanks so much, Mary Ann!  My dolls and I are in love with this outfit, and we love your shop One Girl's Dream!

Thanks for reading!

Sew Fun!

Hi!

So, I recently got a sewing machine, and I have been getting frustrated with it because I haven't been able to work it real well.  With the purchase of our sewing machine, we got 3 free classes at the sewing store (where we purchased the machine).  Well, yesterday my great friend and I went to the class together, and I learned so much!!!  It was super fun, and I learned a lot of different techniques, and we were given several great project ideas!  Well, after the class, my friend and I REALLY wanted to sew something, so we made some adorable bags and an apron for her little sister!

My bag. (My friend and I made matching ones.)

I love the pattern! 

It has a velcro closure. 

Fancy fancy fold! :) 

 I did a five-string braid with twine for my strap.  My friend had a really cute old belt that she used. :)

I absolutely LOVE my new bag. :)  Do you like it?  I am actually selling them for $15.  I can also make other patterns.  If you want to buy one, please email me and I'll give you the details and also the different patterns. :P

Thanks so much for reading, and I'm so excited to finally get back to my regular posts!!!
