Girl of the Year Saige Copeland is Revealed!

Hi Everyone!!!!

First off- Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate! I hope everyone is having/ has had/ will have a wonderful holiday season! 

Being that 2013 begins in only ONE WEEK, I thought it was finally time to reveal GOTY 2013: (all pictures taken from http://christene.hubpages.com/hub/Saige-Copeland-American-Girl-of-the-Year-2013 unless otherwise noted)

SAIGE COPELAND!

Isn't she pretty?! Saige has long wavy/curly medium brown hair, light skin, freckles, and blue eyes. She will also be the first Girl-of-the-Year to come with her ears pierced.

A few of Saige's items have even been released as well:

Saige (Book 1): "When Saige learns that her school will be cutting music and art lessons at her school she plans a fundraiser to help keep them. She looks to her grandmother and later a new friend for help." - taken from http://christene.hubpages.com/hub/Saige-Copeland-American-Girl-of-the-Year-2013 (Written By: Jessie Haas; Illustrated By: Sarah Davis)

Saige Paints the Sky (Book 2): "Saige is missing her grandmother. She takes comfort in painting and riding her favorite horse. These activities also give her an idea for funding her elementary school's art program. Now she needs a way to keep the horse from being sold".- taken from http://christene.hubpages.com/hub/Saige-Copeland-American-Girl-of-the-Year-2013  (Written By: Jessie Haas; Illustrated By: Sarah Davis)

 Saige's Meet Outfit: Royal blue dress with navajo print design, brown slouch boots, and possibly a ring. Her hair comes in a loose side braid.

Saige's Accessories: I'm not quite sure what the accessories are yet- possibly a shawl, bracelet, and small book of some sort?

 Outfit from Saige Paints the Sky (Book 2): Pink embroidered one-shoulder dress, gold cowboy boots, and a necklace.

 Saige's (school?) outfit: A white top, jeans or leggings, sandals, and a navajo print ruffle sweater.

 Saige's Pajamas: A graphic tee, printed shorts, slippers, and hair ties.
Saige's riding outfit: a floral top, jeans, pink belt, and floral embroidered boots.

 Hot Air Balloon from Saige Paints the Sky (Book 2): Hot air balloon , messenger bag, map, binoculars, and a few other accessories.

 Jewelry and purse: I'm not sure what this is going to be exactly?! Looks like a purse, two necklaces, and two sets of earrings.

Saige's Easel: Wooden easel, paintings, paintbrushes, paint palate, sketches, sketchbook, and a few other accessories.

Saige's Horse and Saddle: White and grey speckled horse with blonde mane and tail, bridle (headpiece). Sold separately is a black saddle. (It's rumored the horse's name is Georgia)

Express Yourself: "Find out what your art reveals about you. Questions, quizzes, and quick art projects will help you explore and express your feelings. Don't worry about being perfect. Just have fun." -taken from http://christene.hubpages.com/hub/Saige-Copeland-American-Girl-of-the-Year-2013. Also, on the corner of the cover they have the reference tab to Saige and her story.

Hope you all LOVE Saige, GOTY 2013!! I think she's awesome, except one thing: She's JUST LIKE Nikki, GOTY 2007! Especially in her relaxing outfit, and because she has a horse just like Nikki did!!

http://americangirl.wikia.com/wiki/Nicki%27s_Tie_Top_and_Shorts

I think they look extremely similar... but that also might just be me! Saige's hair is definitely darker/ thicker, but besides that they have almost the exact same features!

Alright- Well, have a happy holidays everyone!! Hope everyone is also having a great winter vacation- if your on break yet?! I am and I am LOVING it!! Haha, write later!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween Everyone!!

So, before you head out to go trick-or-treating tonight, here's a costume you can pull together in under a half hour- for your doll! This cute mummy costume uses supplies you already have in your house (or that you can get at any local drugstore) and a few pieces of doll clothing. If your looking for the perfect halloween cosutume to take your doll trick-or-treating in, or to any halloween event you might be attending, this is the costume for you!

You'll need:
A black or white outfit
Double-stick tape
Toilet paper

 Step 1: Put together an all black (or white) outfit for your doll. I'm using the black jumpsuit from the old skating set, and the white slippers from the old gymnastics set. Don't worry about ruining your AG clothes- the "mummy wrap" will come right off when you're done!

Step 2: Rip off a piece of double stick tape however long you like (mine was around 6 inches) and stick it onto a strip of toilet paper, making sure there are no bubbles or creases.

Step 3: Rip the toilet paper around the edges of the piece of tape, so that you'll be left with a strip of tape that is covered in toilet paper on one side, and stick on the other. Don't worry about making it perfect- that's the fun of it!

  

Step 4: Put the outfit on your doll. Take your tape strip and stick it anywhere on the outfit, so it looks like it's being wrapped around your doll. Repeat steps 2-3 multiple times to create a wrapped mummy look. You can use as many or as few strips as you want. You can also use strips of different lengths for variation.

  

 Step 5: Make a strip that is 18 inches long. (you can use your doll to measure this- your strip should be as tall as your doll) Cover both sides of the strip, leaving a 1 inch "tail" completely uncovered.

  

Step 6: Wrap the strip around your doll's head, and use the tail to secure in the back. (I put her hair up for this just to keep it from getting tangled in the tape, and so I could see better). The double sided tape will stick the the headband on one side, and the back of your doll's neck on the other side, so the headband will stay in place. The tail long piece sticking out at the end makes it look like your doll's mummy wraps are "unraveling"! If you don't like this, you can just cut it off.

 Here's your finished product! This project, including gathering supplies and stopping every two minutes to take photos only took me about 35 minutes! (So, if you subtract the time it took me to take the 14 photos I used in this shoot, I say it'll take you 30 minutes or less!) I hope you love it as much as I do!

Have a happy and safe Halloween, and I'll see you soon!

New Fall Items!

Hi Everyone! There are a few new items out for fall/winter (Already! Summer goes by too fast!) I just wanted to review the few new pieces, starting with the JLY items:

(NOTE: I am leaving Caroline Abbot out of this post because everything of hers is new! If you would like to see all of her wonderful collection head down to www.americangirl.com)

2-in-1 Ice Skating Outfit: This set includes an ice blue leotard, matching skirt, shrug wrap, leggings, one pair of ice skates, and a pair of skate guards. Being a past ice skater myself, this outfit has a very realistic feel to it. The jewels on the leotard and skirt are cute, but a little "cheap" looking. I LOVE the shrug and leggings though! Those are the best part! The skates and guards are also very true-to-life.

http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/212536/uid/792

Casual Chic Outfit: This outfit includes a sweater, corduroy pants, slip-on shoes, and a knit hat. I like the fit-n-flare style of the sweater, and the pants look more like a light denim than corduroy, but I haven't seen them in person, only online. The shoes are cute but look a little pointy at the toe. As for the hat, I'm not sure if I love it or hate it! I'll have to see it on a doll in person to decide.

http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/215701/uid/189

 Pretty Pink Coat Set: This set includes a a long fancy pink coat and knee high boots with ribbon accents. I love this set! The colors work so well together, and the bows and fur trim are adorable. The boots are a matte finish and the bows are metallic, so they play off nicely. One of my favorite sets!

http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/212540/uid/189

 Purple Party Outfit: This outfit includes a fancy party dress, black tights, faux leather shoes with bow details, and a triple-stacked bow headband. This dress is beyond adorable- except for one minor detail. The tulle under the skirt that makes it nice and puffy is emerald green, not black. I don't think that's the most attractive combination (purple and green). Besides that, the dress and bow detail are darling. The headband is soooooo cute, and the tights are fine, but I'd like the outfit better without them. The shoes don't match the color of the dress and I think fight with the outfit a bit. Unfortunately, this outfit is a miss for me.

http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/216823/uid/793

Holiday Accessories: This set includes a ruffled shrug, two pretend tickets to The Nutcracker, a Nutcracker doll, and a bracelet watch. These accessories pair nicely with either the Purple Party Outfit (above) or the Rosy Red Outfit (below). The shrug is lovely, and the nutcracker doll is a true keepsake. The bracelet watch doesn't work but is cute, and the tickets add a nice touch. 

http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/216827/uid/793

Rosy Red Outfit: This outfit includes a red party dress with flower accent, matching shoes, and a red rhinestone headband. This party outfit is just gorgeous! The dress if the perfect shape, and I love the shoulder detailing. The matching shoes are spot-on, and the headband adds a nice polished touch. I would 100% wear this, and it's a total win in my book! 

http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/216825/uid/793

Reindeer PJ's: This outfit includes a graphic top, matching pajama pants, fuzzy pink slippers, and a reindeer antler headband. This is one of the cutest holiday pajama sets AG has released in years! The color is perfect with the pink contrast stitching, and the graphic is super sweet! The matching pants graphic is perfect, the slippers are amazing, and oh my goodness- THE HEADBAND! The reindeer antler headband is just sooooooooo fantastic with the outfit. It ties it all together.

http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/218041/uid/791

Soft-as-Snow Outfit and Earmuffs: This outfit includes a ribbed sweater, leggings, a feather skirt, and fleece lined boots. You can also purchase the big, furry earmuffs separately. This outfit is extremely fashionable, and the feather skirt is to die for- my favorite part of this set! The earmuffs are cute too, as well as the sweater. The boots are good, but I wish they were also all white- that way they'd have an all white outfit. The sweater and leggings are extremely versatile, and can be worn with many different dresses/pants/skirts.

http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/set/id/1757/uid/189

Snowboard Outfit: This outfit includes a snowboarding jacket, snow-pants, socks and mittens. The jacket is cute, but not my colors, as are the pants. Khaki is not the "girly-ist" of colors. The old snowboarding set was much more colorful. It's okay, but definitely not a favorite. I do like the button closures on the jacket, however.

http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/212532/ctc/XSCOORD

 Snowboard and Gear: This set includes a snowboard, boots, snowboard goggles and a helmet. Following the theme of the outfit, there's a lot of khaki in this set. I really like the goggles and helmet, and the snowboard actually has a really cute design. Again, the boots are khaki- I don't love it, but they're not awful. Not a win, but for sure not a lose either. Just neutral on this one.

http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/212534/ctc/XSCOORD

Winter Chalet: This chalet room includes a bench, mug, winter poster, light-up fireplace, and wreath. It's a little expensive for just a sitting room. You would expect to be able to seat more than one doll in it for the price. It's a nice accessory of you have the extra money, but if not you can get a other (in my opinion, nicer) things for much less.

http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/212530/uid/235

Dreamy Nightstand Set: This set includes a real wooden nightstand with a working drawer, and includes a tissue box, real working lamp, pretend glass of water, abridged version of bored no more! book, pretend lotion, and a rug. The nightstand look very sturdy and like a very quality item. The accessories are so cute, and the drawer helps to store things when your not using them, which helps to keep them from getting lost. It's super cute, and will go well with the daybed, or any other bed for that matter! Maybe it can also be used as an end table for a couch or chair?

http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/209120/uid/235

This item is not being advertised with their new items, but was a lucky find on their webpage. AG is known to have outfits that they only display when you search a little, and this is what I found:

Sugar & Spice Baking Set: This set includes a pretend gingerbread house, faux chocolate, candy canes, gumdrops, frosting pastry bag, and sprinkles, apron and a santa hat.

http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/212538/uid/266

Considering AG has just released their new historical doll, Caroline Abbot, they have not come out with any new historical doll items with their fall release. My guess is to draw the historical-doll-loving crowd towards their new items, and not steal any thunder from Caroline. 

They do have a few new books and activity books out. They have also released new doll "play sets" that include scenery and accessories for various places, such as a diner or a theatre. They're a little pricey, but for girls who want a realistic-looking doll scene they are the perfect thing. The best part is that they are foldable, so they are easy to take along wherever you go! 

I will list titles for everything new in their bookshop, as well as links, but not pictures.

Super Quick and Unattractive Post...

Hi everyone,

I've been so so so busy during the past month, and I am soooooo behind on posting, and I feel awful! Can I just cover some of the things I want to right now in one very un-detailed post to get it off my chest? Thanks! Here it goes:

1. End-of-Summer Post: Okay, so you're totally updated on everything JLY, but I completely left you hanging with the GOTY and Historical Character posts! I'm sure you are fully caught up there, so I'm not gonna go into detail over this, but sorry for not going over it sooner guys!

2. CAROLINE ABBOTT: Oh my goodness, I cannot believe I have not dedicated a post to this new historical doll yet! Besides the fact that she is beyond gorgeous, AG came out with a new eye color for her!! Can we start seeing this color on new JLY dolls in the future, AG? Her time period is very unlike any other Historical dolls, so they opened up a whole new area of discovery, and more importantly- products! Her collection is unique and I cannot wait to see what AG can further come up with for this wonderful girl!*

3. Organized my AG Stuff: Okay, so it's finally done! It took a while; prep, cleaning, getting permission from my parents on what cabinets I could "take over". It was worth the effort though, because it is totally finished for now and I cannot wait to tell you guys (with pics) all about this project in detail! I'll include things like:
- Organization: What went where
- Setting up
- Storage options
- Tips and tricks on how you can do this yourself!
I am beyond excited that all of my AG stuff is finally in place, and I can enjoy my dolls even more now without worrying about clutter and losing objects!*

4. New hairstyle: It's not really new, actually, but more improved. The classic "fishtail braid" is hard to do on AG dolls because their hair is not very long, so I have figured out a great way to create a fishtail braid that is fast, easy, and lasts all day! I'll for SURE be posting about this soon!*

(*I may or may not do a more detailed post on this topic... you'll have to wait and see!)

That's pretty much all for now everyone, but I hope you like what you hear in terms of what's in store for this site! Thanks for not abandoning me, even when it seemed I abandoned you! I look forward to keep posting on this blog for all of you! Love you all!

(P.S. My new posting goal is an "update post" about once a month, which will be something like a new JLY or product, one new hairstyle or very small project from me, or a seasonal release that includes a few new outfits. I also plan to include a "major post" every two or three months, but this will be adjusted as needed. This would include something like new GOTY or Historical Character release, a significant change to anything about AG, or any major projects and activities on my part. I HOPE I CAN POST USING THESE GUIDELINES FOR HOW OFTEN I BLOG! BE SURE TO CHECK BACK ABOUT ONCE A MONTH TO GET THE LATEST ON WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON WITH AMERICAN GIRL!)

I'm Back to Blogging!

HI! Sorry it's been soooooo long since I've blogged!!!! I was away ALL summer! Anyways, there's a BUNCH that's happened over the summer for AG, starting with their new cover page!

This is the new page you'll see when you log into www.americangirl.com!
(http://www.americangirl.com/index.php)

In the JLY world, they've also created new take-home outfits for the dolls.... not to mention their new doll, #35!! She is unlike any doll I've seen through JLY before, and I think it's awesome that AG is really going out of their way to include a doll for every girl! I really think she's gorgeous and unique, and her hair is spectacular!

The new take-home outfit is also really updated and "hip". AG has definitely taken a clue from today's pre-teens and teens, and their new outfit really screams "I am a modern american girl!" I would totally wear it! The accessories are also SUPER cute!

JLY #35

True Spirit Accessories
(http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/211793/ctc/SI)

AG also came out with a TON of new outfits! Here are the newest ones (sorry if I miss any!):

Butterfly Twist Outfit: This set includes a dress, headband, and boots. It's really cute, and I love the twists in the skirt and chest! Also love the ribbon on the boots/ color of boots!

(http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/211770/uid/205)

 Feeling Great Outfit: This set includes a top, pants, sneakers, and headband. It's fairly simple; I'm a big fan of the pants, but the outfit as a whole just doesn't have the "wow" factor that a lot of AG outfits has!

(http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/209115/uid/205)

 Butterfly Garden PJ's: This set includes a top, pajama pants, and slippers. The 3-D slippers are very cool, and the mosaic-like print pants and butterfly graphic are gorgeous! This is one of my favorite pajama sets!

(http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/209118/uid/205)

 Garden Robe and Pillow: This set includes a robe and pillow. The robe looks very soft and high quality, and the bow is such a nice touch. The pillow matches perfectly, and I like that it's actually in the shape of a butterfly, and not just a butterfly image printed on a round/square pillow!

(http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/209119/uid/205)

 Roller Skating Set: This set includes a hoodie, skirt, leg warmers, and roller skates. The hoodie is very "in" right now, and for sure something I would wear. The skirt's pattern is so fun, as are the leg warmers- they are coming back into fashion! The roller skates are my absolute favorite part of this outfit, however: the multicolored wheels, blue stripes, and pink laces give the outfit so much color and character! One of my favorite summer pieces from AG.

(http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/209116/uid/205)

 Sweet Savannah Dress: This set includes a dress, headband, and ballet flats. This dress is so funky and fresh, and the headband compliments it 100%, making it just that much sweeter! I do have to admit I don't like the shoes. They are rather bland and dull, and they don't match the outfit very well in my opinion. I would have loved to see matching tulle/gem details like the one from the headband on a pair of faux leather light grey flats!

(http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/209111/uid/205)

 Spooky Fun Outfit: This set includes a tee, tutu skirt, thigh-high socks, flats, and orange hairbands. First off- the tutu skirt is my favorite individual piece AG came out with this entire summer! Even after halloween, It can be paired with different tops and tights for a unique outfit that really makes a statement! The ghosts on the shirt are so cutesy looking, which I find WAY better than putting scary looking ones on there! The thigh high socks are also soooooooooo adorable, although I'm suprised AG didn't just make them tights.The flats look like there made of rubber, and again they aren't my favorite shoes, but they do compliment the outfit at least! The hairbands also add a nice matching touch.

(http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/209117/uid/205)

(http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/209114/uid/205)

Volleyball Set:  This set includes a shirt, athletic shorts, sneakers, knee pads, a volleyball, and hair ties. Being a volleyball player myself, I was beyond excited when this came out! Let's just say this will be part of my collection VERY soon! The outfit is so authentic, and I love that it come with knee pads and lace up shoes, which you don't see a lot from AG!

Okay, so there are a few other things that AG came out with for JLY, so I'm just gonna put them here without a long description:

Treat Seat:

Allergy Free Lunch:

 Fashion Boots:

(http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/209129/uid/266)

 Licorice: I was thrilled they came out with Licorice again, but I think they designed her, and some of the charm and spark was lost. She's not as cute looking!

(http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/209126/uid/266)

 Meatloaf: I went absolutely crazy when I saw Meatloaf! He is so wrinkly and very accurate to what a real bulldog looks like. This is one of my favorite AG pets so far.

(http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/209122/uid/266)

 Striped Sneakers:

 Service Dog Set: First off, I think that introducing a service dog for American Girl Dolls in incredible, because as I've said before, they've gone out of their way to include accessories that will make a girl's doll a bit more like them. Second of all, I raise service dogs, so I was jumping for joy when I saw this dog online. I was upset when they discontinued Chocolate Chip, but I'm ecstatic that they brought her back as a service dog! This is my favorite pet from AG of all time!
