Trendy Tuesday ~ Floral Patterns

Welcome to Trendy Tuesday, everyone!

Today we are going to talk about a trend I had seen, but didn't really notice 'til Etsy pointed it out for me.

Thank you for doing my work for me, Etsy.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that florals really are "in"right now. With that in mind, I raided my doll closet to see what we could pull together in terms of floral themed outfits.

Addy, McKenna, Taryn, and Cecile

Aside from looking great with Cecile's eyes, I love how this outfit gives off a mature vibe while still feeling fun. This is largely due to the style of flowers used on the dress. These flowers are stylized and playful, making the entire outfit more fun.

Taryn's look has a somewhat boho feel, what with the flower crown and lace up boots. Both her top and skirt have a more realistic flower pattern to them, lending a more sophisticated look to the whole ensemble.

This outfit was a no brainer, since we bought it from American Girl ready assembled. The flowers on this outfit are just one of the many details, but I think they add an air of whimsy to the whole ensemble.

Addy's outfit is very coordinated and features flowers quite prominently. The flowers on her dress are semi-realistic, and not as sophisticated as Taryn's. Her outfit looks like it could come from the junior's section in a department store.

Are your dolls looking for some floral options this spring? Here are a few...

1. Gray Coral Floral Sleeveless Princess SKATER DRESS for 18 Inch from Closet4Chloe

This dress is oh so trendy, and a perfect cut for summer. It also breaks from the usual elegant styles usually used for florals and is more urban.

2. Floral and Lace Sleeveless DRESS from Closet4Chloe

This dress is perfect for a tea party, has a retro twist, and uses florals in both lace and fabric! We love the mixture of colors and idyllic country style it evokes!

3. Delicate Garden - Skirt Set for American Girl from cupcakecutiepie

What an adorable outfit! The skirt and shirt are a perfect match, and so elegant too! We love the three quarter sleeves and ample use of lace.

4. Summer dress and shoes made to fit 18" American Girl doll from menabella

The pintucks on the front of this dress are adorable, and this dress is another great use of lace and flowers in tandem. We especially appreciate the two layers of the skirt, giving the dress an unusual fulness.

5. Summer Shirt- Pink- Floral from daisychainsdoll

This cute shirt has great colors and is a breath of fresh air since florals are being used so heavily with skirts and dresses.

I hope you enjoyed the first Trendy Tuesday! Stay tuned, next week we look at Tribal Prints and Harem pants!

A touch of color... Girl of the Year Color Palettes

Here are color palettes for all of the Girl of the Years. You are free to use them for whatever projects you might undertake :)

Honey's Wishlist

Hey y'all! Today I am going to share with you the items from American Girl that I would like to own. So basically my wishlist. I was going to include Maplelea in this but I realized most of the things from them I wanted for another doll. I could probably make a whole other wishlist of things I want other peeps to have. So anyway here we go! My top six American Girl items list!

6.Isabelle's Scrunch Pants ~ $12

So this and Isabelle's Coral Sweater were pretty much the only thing I really liked out of her collection. These because they were just so McKenna. It's literally her shade of purple. The only reason they are not higher on the list is because I herd that they do not look that great on dolls.





5.Isabelle's Coral Sweater ~ $14  

This is the other item of Isabelle's collection I liked. It is nice color and it seems like it would look nice on Mckenna. So pretty much it is just a nice sweater.







4.Curly Ponytail ~ $2

The curly ponytail is one the items I want but its not super crucial or anything. Mostly I want it because McKenna's hair doesn't curl. It only took me like a year and a half to figure that out. So yeah,  If I got this then McKenna could have some nice curly hair.

3. Julie's Summer Skirt Set
I like this outfit a lot because it is very colorful and very cute. It is also something McKenna could wear now days without looking crazy. I really like the style of the top and just all of it is really cute.

2.Easy Breezy Outfit
This outfit I just really like! Julie has an outfit very similar to this one but I like the colors much better on this outfit than on hers. Also the pattern is very cute and happy. The shorts are adorable as well and something I would totally wear. Everything in this outfit is just so cute and really me.

1. Petal&Plaid Pajamas

When these pajamas first came out I immediately fell in love with them. Similarly to the above outfit, I love the colors as well as the pattern. They are also just so McKenna. Can you just totally see her in that?

Okay that's all folks! Thank you for listening to me ramble about clothes I want for my doll. See you next time

Etsy Opening & Sewing Spree Part 2

Hi everyone, it's Willow!

Here is the second part to our sewing spree post. After much anticipation we got the Lilly Boo shorts we ordered from Closet 4 Chloe last Wednesday. The are adorable, and have a functional little pocket.

Here the shorts are with the shirt we made. The look grows on me more and more every time I see it.

The outfit looks great on McKenna! It is just what we hoped.

Shifting gears, Honey also made a dress as a part of her recent "sewing spree".
Here it is:

 This is another great look for McKenna!

Blues just look so wonderful on her, it's great.

Stay tuned for next part (part 3) where we will reveal the other piece of the Etsy order. The camp tees!
