Park Princess


Hi everyone!
Well, I finally got time to do another post on my blog. I've been so busy with school and dance practice that I haven't really had time for much else lately!
Just over a week ago, we went to the park for a picnic. I wanted to play fashion models, so Mother took along a camera to take some photos of me. Which do you like best?
Love,



I love trees!

Look at me!
Do you like the lighting on this one? it was actually not meant to be like that, but I think it turned out really nice!

Another angle.

Queen of the Fall! (It's winter now, but there are still leaves everywhere.)
(The special effect on this one was achieved by throwing leaves across the camera at the last minute. It took a few goes to get it as good as we wanted though!)

Pretty face-shot.

Fashion Friday, Week 3-Cozy and casual winter outfits

Hi all,
Last week was so hectic that I didn't end up posting Fashion Friday! I'm really sorry about that, I was just so busy! Anyway, let's get started, shall we?

1. American Girl Doll Clothes 18'' Pleated Houndstooth Skirt and Ruffle Brown Knit Shirt from My Dressed Up Doll. I really like this outfit, because I think it goes together really well, but can also be used separately to mix and match with other things you already have.

2. Slouch Cardigan, Plaid Skirt & T-Shirt Outfit For American Girl Or Similar 18-Inch Dolls
from Angel Kisses Boutique. This is just adorable, is it not? The cardigan would look great with some jeans, too!

3. 18" American Girl Doll Clothes - Green Wool Winter Coat
from Sew Exquisite One. Sew cute! It reminds me of Nellie. Even though this is more of a historical/vintage outfit, I would definitely still wear it!

4. American Girl Doll Clothes, Red and White Pleated Skirt Outfit with accessories.
From Button And Bow Boutique. What a cute way to dress up a plain shirt! I love how they did the shaped ruffle and red flower, it really ties it in with the skirt.

5. Doll Coat for American Girl 18" Doll Knit Taupe Coat with Black Fur Hooded Jacket Toy. From Snowflake Boutique. This coat is not only super adorable, but also looks very soft and warm! I love the furry trim.

6. American Girl Camouflage Snowflake 4 Piece Christmas Set - Skirt, Shirt, Ruffle Scarf, Headband
From Aunt Sissy Originals. What more can I say about this outfit? I love the lacy scarf, and the fact that green is a pretty yet neutral colour that goes with almost everything, so again, you could mix and match all of these pieces.

Well, folks, that's it for this week of fashion Friday! Check back next time, when I'll be looking at vintage inspired clothing.

Au Revior!








P.S. There may be a shortage of posts for a while, as I had photos ready but the SD card went walkabout and now I can't find it :( sorry! I really hope it turns up soon!

Fashion Friday, Week 2-Perfect Party Dresses

Hi everyone!
Welcome to the second week of Fashion Friday. Sorry this is a bit late, I was out and about all day yesterday and didn't have time to post it! There are a lot of different items this week, because I found so many perfect party dresses that it was hard to decide which ones to put on! Anyway, let's get to it.


1. 1950s Vintage Doll Dress. Isn't this simple dress just stunning? I love vintage style, and this would look rather nice on Janet with her blue eyes (don't tell her I told you so!). This beautiful creation is from Jessica's Doll Closet.

2. American Girl Doll Clothes Satin Dress for Flower Girl or Wedding with Bubble Skirt and Pearl Rosette Top / Customisable Sash with Big Bow. The bubble skirt and beautiful fabric makes this dress really stand out from the crowd! You can even choose what colour sash you want. What a great idea! This fabulous dress is from My Dressed Up Doll.

3. American Girl silk special occasion dress and headband. Now this is a dress I really love! It would go perfectly with my grey eyes, no? I love the flower accent on the waistband. And it even comes with a matching headband! This lovely ensemble is from Doll Petite Couture.

4. American Girl Doll Clothes Christmas Fancy Holiday Dress and Gold Satin Hairbow - 18'' Doll Dress. This looks almost exactly like the Brocade Holiday Dress from AG. I really liked the design and colour, and the polka dotted fabric they used here is even nicer! I also like that it comes with a matching hair bow. This perfect dress is also from My Dressed Up Doll.

5. American Girl Doll Clothes Christmas Dress - Fancy Holiday Dress - Custom Color Choices Available! - 18'' Lace Dress with Cream Satin Bow. I really like these dresses as well! The design is quite similar to number 4, but also unique. It's so cool how you can choose either emerald or wine colour. I think wine would probably look nice on Melody, with Emerald for me. What do you think? This beautiful dress is from My Dressed Up Doll, too!

6. American Girl Doll Clothes Flower Girl or Wedding Satin Dress with Beaded Halter Top, and Pickup Skirt / Customisable Sash with Big Bow. I love this one almost as much as number 2. The "Pickup" skirt is really pretty, and has been done well so that the fabric still drapes nicely. It looks very well made, and can't imagine all the time and effort that would've gone in to making it look this lovely! This gorgeous dress is, you guessed it, from My Dressed Up Doll.

7. American Girl Doll champagne lace dress 18 inch doll clothes. I love the big bow at the back of this one, and all of the pretty lace trimmings! Obviously the main feature of the dress is the bow and trimmings at the back, very much like an old-fashioned "Bustle" dress. This amazing gown is from Love Ellie Bean (yes, another of my favourite shops!)

This week I happened to feature a number of dresses from My Dressed Up Doll! Rather funny, because I barely noticed what shops the outfits were from until I did this post. They make some amazing party dresses, so please check out their shop especially.

I hope you enjoyed this week of Fashion Friday. Please come again next week, where I'll be looking at some nicer casual winter outfits.

Bye!


P.S. The photos in this post have been lightly edited with Picmonkey, so they may not look exactly the same (colour and lighting wise) as the pictures in the original listings. Please know that this editing was only done to make the pictures look a little fancier and better for my blog, not because I did not like the original ones or anything like that.

Out for lunch

On Sunday, I went out for lunch after church with my cousins to a restaurant. I got some vanilla ice-cream with strawberry topping, and had fun mixing it in and making ice-cream soup. It turned out a really nice colour, actually!
