So, lots of pictures are currently being leaked of the things coming out in the fall release, which will most likely be on August 28th. (The BeForever books are on Amazon for preorder, and the release date of those and Samantha are both August 28th.)

(Above) A lot of people are saying this dress is Caroline’s, but it is completely wrong for her time period. I think it is Rebecca’s, as it is spot on in style and fashion for her time period.

(Above) This is another dress, possibly for Rebecca.

 

(Above) This is is seen on the cover of Samantha’s second book.

(Above) Kit’s new meet outfit – I think the buttons and the buckle on the belt mess it up. And the whole fact that it looks modern. I really like the colors though, just not as a historical outfit. Here is a picture of her in it:

(Above) Kit’s new birthday outfit – I really don’t like this. It looks like something Julie would wear, and it’s definitely not very historically accurate. Her birthday dress is  made out of a feed sack, and the colors are way too bright.

(Above) This is most likely Julie’s. I don’t really like the combo of the denim and pinkish reddish.

(Above) This is a screenshot from one of the videos AG has released about Be Forever.  This is definitely Samantha’s and I’m guessing that it is her Christmas dress. The tea set and curl are definitely hers.

 

(Above) This is Julie’s new meet outfit.

(Above) This is Josefina’s new meet outfit.

There is a whole video that AG just released about how the historical characters got started here.

Here is the second part of the video.

And one showing Addy with her new meet dress and face here.

Here are some pics of most of the other new book covers:

 

The second books for Kit and Samantha have new outfits, but the rest have one of their current ones on it, so here are Samantha and Kits’ new covers:

Check soon for more!

MYAG Stuff:

Coconut Cutie Outfit $30 (Above)

I LOVE THIS OUTFIT SO MUCH! I don’t think the shoes match, so they would have to go with something else, but otherwise, it is ADORABLE! To me, the coral color of the skirt looks like something Isabelle would wear, and it will probably turn out to be Isabelle’s once we get her.

Rating: 8 out of 10

Bright Stripes Outfit (Above) $38

This is adorable! To someone who loves acting, this is totally perfect! I think it will go perfectly with the Doll Star accessories I bought a couple weeks ago! I wish it had white pants, so as soon as I get this I will be making some white pants, but it’s really cute! I do have to echo Leah from ToDolly Awesome by saying I really wish the pants were the same sparkly pink as the belt, though.

Rating: 7.9 out of 10

 

Skateboarding Set for Dolls (Above) $42

This is also really cute! Love the color combo, and I am glad this release is mainly not as much pink, or not entirely pink. I would really have no use for the skateboard, but I may have to buy one next time I order something!

Rating: 7.5 out of 10

Petals and Plaid PJ’s (Above) $24

Again, not too much pink, most of the pink is in the plaid, and I love plaid, so I like this rather a lot. Cute design, love it on #49. These are going to be coming here when I get #49. (Probably)

Rating 7.5

Starry Hoodie Outfit (Above) $30

The hoodie, great, very cute. The pants: Meh. Those pants do not match! They might look cute with other things, but I really don’t like it with the hoodie. The shoes are cute, but they aren’t going to be my favorite shoes ever. They could go with a lot, but I think boots would be better with this outfit.

6.5

Sparkly Camp Outfit (Above) $30

Again, something that looks like something Isabelle would wear. Cute color scheme, and I need more doll belts, but not something to go camping in. Has anyone from AG ever gone camping? I mean, really. Those boots are not for camping. At all.

Rating: If I ignore the name, 7.5

 

2-n-1 Cheer Set (Above) $48

This is OK. Not really a cheer kind of girl, but girls might like it who are cheerleaders.  I don’t like the color combo, but I like the dark blue. The crossover thing is…interesting (not my favorite style).

Rating: 6

Karate Outfit (Above)

Cute outfit, but I don’t do Karate and neither do any of my dolls, so I don’t think I will get it. My little brother says I need to get it, but…, meh.

Rating: 6

Part 2 coming soon!

Ok, now I am really signing off.

Kathleen

What do you think of the new releases?

Ok, this time I’m serious.

Kathleen 🙂

 

 

 

 

Basically, I’ve had Sydney’s hair in a corset braid for a couple weeks because I’ve been working on a photo story. So I took out the ribbon and this is what I saw:

Kate is calling it Sydney’s “general villainy look.”

So I decided to play around with it a bit, and these are the other looks I came up with:

This is what Grace is calling Sydney’s elephant ears look.

Kate is calling it the rat king look. Sydney only thinks of it in the ballet sense. She doesn’t seem to get the fact that being called a rat is not good. 🙂

The prarie girl/ Princess Leia look

Kathleen

 

 

So, recently a package arrived. My sister and I had chosen one doll off the AG website and ordered her. Guess who I got? ( BTW, the dolls on my AG Wishlist are not in order)

Hints:

1. She has gray, green, hazel, or blue eyes

2. She is 18″ tall

3. She has red, blond, or brown hair. (It could be any variation of these colors. i.e.- could be honey blond, or platinum blond, or light brown, or ginger, etc.)

4. Her hair is curly/wavy

 

Who do you think it is?

 

Kathleen

 

P.S. If I have told you, please don’t answer.

 

I love this solo dress brand! Here are some of my favorite dresses they’ve made!

From their Mythos collection

From their Fen and Meadows collection.

From their Storybook/Themed Dresses

Brave themed dress

Snow White themed dress

So, American Girl is going to retire a lot of stuff for the historicals this summer when Samantha is rerealeased and their also going to name the historical characters.

Everything that has been confirmed is:

Ruthie

 

Cecile

 

Marie- Grace

 

Ivy

 

So anyways, according to other popular sites, AG staff have confirmed that these will be retired:

Addy‘s stuff:

Ice Cream Set

Winter Coat and Accessories

Caroline‘s:

Birthday Dress

Party Set

Julie‘s Stuff:

Casual Outfit

Cap and Scarf

Christmas Dress

Birthday Goodies

Ivy‘s:

New Year Outfit

Accessories

Josefina‘s:

School Outfit

Riding Boots

Kit‘s:

Birthday Outfit (My sisters gonna be sad about this one)

Ruthie‘s:

Pajamas

Holiday Dress

Marie-Grace and Cecile:

Everything

Rebecca‘s:

Lace Dress

School Dress

Hanukkah Dress

 

I honestly only care about Rebecca’s stuff, Cecile, and Ruthie. I think Kit’s birthday outfit is cute, and I think it would be adorable on Ruthie, and would go perfectly with Sydney’s eyes, but I don’t absolutely love it. I’m not happy that AG is retiring Beckie’s Hanukkah Dress because I feel like it’s such a big part of her stories.

$98 more dollars to save. For three outfits. Sheesh.

How do you feel about this?

Kathleen

P.S. coming soon: my first ever photo story!

 

EDIT: Sorry, then I remembered MG’s nightgown and Cecile’s parlor desk. $67 more for a grand total of $165

I love Hearts for Hearts Girls!

Shola
She’s so cute! I might rename her Malala though, but I’m not sure.

Nahji
Cutie! She’s from India!

Dell
I love her skin, eye, and hair combo! I think she looks really realistic for a $30 doll.

Those are my favorite Hearts for Hearts dolls that they’ve came out with so far!

Kathleen

Our Generation Dolls

Evelyn
I think she’s very cute, plus she looks Irish and loves acting!

Neve
I would definitely rename her, because I really can’t imagine her as a Neve, but I really like her. I’d probably add more freckles with a watercolor pencil though, and maybe some more lip color?

Charlotte
Redhead! Need I say more? Might rename her though.

Alejandra
I really like her! But I might change her name, since I already have a doll named Alexandra, and Alejandra is basically Alexandra, just in Spanish.

Peyton
Her hair is so bright! I’d probably rename her Merida. 😉

Sadie
I shalt get thou if only for thee’s skirt! Seriously, her skirt looks like the goblet style Irish Dance Skirts.
Here’s her skirt:

And here is a goblet style Irish Dance skirt:

Can you say “Our Generation thinks Irish Dancers are awesome?”

Those are my favorite Our Generation dolls that are currently available.

The AG dolls:

1. Ruthie
Doll Fund: $52.38

2. Cecile
Cutie!

3.Isabelle
I think Isabelle looks much, much, much better in person. I don’t like her stock photos that much.

4. Josefina
I don’t really like her stock photo either. My friend has her and brought her to my house one day, and I liked her much better in person. I don’t know what I don’t like about her stock photos. Maybe I just think she always looks surprised?

5. Rebecca
Gorgeous! But again, I like her in person in better.

6. Kit
I think she’s so adorable!

7. Kaya
I LOVE how she looks like she’s giving a sad little smile, and she can look sad or happy, instead of always happy with a open mouth smile like all the others do.

8. My American Girl #55
I don’t like that they photo shopped her eyes. But I think she’s gorgeous. Especially when you see her in person or in pictures when they don’t photoshop her eyes. (Seriously AG!) I really like the names Annika or Evangeline or Angelique for her.

9. My American Girl #44
I love this doll! I would probably name her Gabrielle, or Gabby for short. I think she would be half African American, one fourth French Canadian, and one fourth Hispanic.

10. My American Girl #49
Again, I like her better in person. I don’t know what I’d name her.

Some other dolls I like, that aren’t necessarily on my wish list right now:

My American Girl #60
I’ve always really liked the dark hair, blue eyes, light skin combo.

My American Girl #46
I think she’s cute, especially in dark green clothes.

My American Girl #37
As soon as I get Ruthie, she’s getting bumped up into my top ten. I think she’s so cute, and she looks very Irish!

My American Girl #30
I really like Jess, but since she’s retired, she goes for a crazy amount of money, so she’s a great alternative if I don’t want to spend a couple hundred dollars. (which I don’t)

My American Girl #41
She would probably be Ruthie’s sister.

My Favorite Bitty Twins

Latina Bitty Twin
She’s such a cutie!

African American Bitty Twin
Cutie!
