BeForever- Part 3- Accessories

Good day, everybody! Today's BeForever thing is accessories, let's get on with it! Enjoy :D

Samantha's accessories are okay... I don't know if I'd get them, I might, but only if I got Samantha too. The purse looks cute, and the headband does too, and I don't have many necklaces for my dolls, either.

Personally, I don't know how a hat is "hairstyling". But I guess it's all in perspective.

This dog is so adorable! He is so fluffy I want to squeeze him to death!

Don't really see the point in this... But I guess it's okay. I wouldn't pay the price for it, though.

I like this bike, I think it's cute. But it's definitely not historically accurate, it looks way too modern.

I guess this set is okay... not for the price, but it's cute. 

I'm actually super glad they brought this parasol back. they had it in the NOLA collection, and I really loved it, and now it's back! I'll have to get this sometime.

Not a fan of these... they look too much like Samantha's, especially the purse. But the necklace is very unique.

This set is super cute! The chair is adorable! I'd love to have this someday.

Oh gosh, no. The price... $78 for just this?! That's outrageous...

I really like these accessories! The hat is darling, they didn't change these things too much from Kit's collection!

Yessssss! It's back! My sister had always wanted this for Kit and I think it's adorable. The only thing that's keeping me from buying this is the price... $50! 

I'm glad they finally have some hair accessories for Kaya. But I think a feather might be a little more accurate...

I absolutely love the flower headband and the tie-dye purse, but I'm not too crazy about those glasses. :/

Don't really get the point here...

Why are they recreating things from the NOLA collection? Why not just keep the NOLA collection?!

Cute, but I'd never get them.

This is really cute actually! But I don't really think Addy, a former slave, would have such a pretty pail like this. Or the "LOVE" cookie. But who knows.

Wow, the days are going fast! Do you like this mini-series? Should I do more similar to this? Well stay tuned tomorrow for furniture!

BeForever- Part 2- Clothing

Today I'm going to be giving my opinions of the outfits from BeForever! Without further ado, here they are...

No. Just. No. Too much pink!!! Samantha's whole freaking collection is pink and girly, I hate it!!! This wouldn't be nearly as bad if it was a different color. And that awful quality... we're paying more for less! So disappointed.

This isn't too bad. I actually think it's pretty cute, and I'm glad AG had the sense to at least make ONE outfit that wasn't pink.

Not too bad, I guess... it could be worse. I guess it's cute...I'm sure it'll grow on me as I see it more.

This is okay... Not my type of thing, but still cute. My sister would like it, she likes all that leopard print stuff.

This nightgown is cute. I don't like the pink, but it's still cute.

I love this!!! The color is beautiful and the dress is just absolutely gorgeous! I would love to get this sometime.

This is cute, I guess. I'm not sure if I like the vest, but I still like the design.

I like this outfit. It is a bit much, though, so I'd probably only use the things for mix and match.

I'm not crazy about this outfit. The tassels look like something on a curtain.

I would love this if it was a different color. It's way too much color.

I actually like this. Not sure if I'd buy it, but I like it.

Noooooooooo. This looks like a Cinderella costume. Not that I have a problem with Disney, but... this isn't something historically accurate for Caroline.

This is super cute! I love all the ruffles, even though I'm not much of a ruffle person. I love the color too.

That's it for today! Tomorrow we'll have accessories, so be sure to come back for that!

BeForever- Part 1- Dolls and Meet Outfits

The next few day's posts will be my analyzation for BeForever! Starting with the dolls. =)

I'm so glad to have this beloved character back! I never really had a chance to get to "know" and love her, because I joined the AG fandom long after her retirement. I'm so glad she's back, she is the symbol and probably most loved doll of AG! i never really especially liked her, but just about an hour ago I was looking at her on the website, and realized I actually really like her and she is such a special doll that I should definitely get her someday. I may not like all the pink in her collection (more on that tomorrow), but I do really like this doll and she'll be on my wishlist for a while.

Let's be honest, I've always loved Rebecca. My friend (hey Sadie!) has her, and the pictures you see of Becca online do not do this doll justice! She is such a unique and beautiful doll, and her meet outfit is totally adorable!

You already know my opinion of Kit. And if you don't the following statement will sum it up for you. I want to steal this doll from my sister. She is sooooooo photogenic, and sooooooooo adorable, I NEED HER! But the meet outfit for her, DON'T GET ME WRONG, I love it, but it looks very modern and definitely not from kit's time period. SHE HAD FEED-SACK DRESSES FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE. 

They really haven't changed miss Kaya here. But I still think she is very unique. I just wouldn't get her.

Julie is really cute. I especially love her new meet outfit! Is it just me or is her hair shorter?

Josefina is a classic, and a favorite in my house! She was my sister's first AG doll and she is such a sweetie! I'm so glad they didn't change her meet outfit too much, but I like her other one better, it is definitely more sophisticated and authentic. I'm glad we have it.

As most of you should know, I have wanted Caroline for a few months, she is really cute and would be a very good addition to my collection, she'd definitely add some variety. I do wish they changed her meet outfit though, it's too Barbie-ish.

To be honest, I've never liked Addie. I'll never get her. But I do really adore her new meet outfit, it's gorgeous! I'd love to buy it separately.

I hope you enjoyed this post and look forward to seeing my opinions of other BeForever products! I'll be splitting it into at least 3 parts, 1 each day! So far I have:

1. Dolls and Meet Outfits (today)
2. Clothing (tomorrow)
3. Accessories
4. Furniture
5. Mini Dolls

Hope you look forward to these! Hope it doesn't get boring. :) (Tell me if it does!)

Have a nice evening (or day, depending when you read this!)

Ideas?

I must admit, I am very far behind on here. I haven't posted the OOTW from I don't even know how many weeks ago. I have a long list of posts to do. I have a giveaway (wink, wink) to post... But I need to know what y'all want to see! So comment below, and I'll try to do that!
Just so you know, the reason i haven't posted much recently is school started last week and I've been super busy. So, I apologize for that. I know you're getting tired of apology posts though, so I'll try not to do too many of those anymore. Every blogger takes breaks, and some take them more than others. :/
So, don't forget- tell me what you want to see! And if you don't mind, check out my YouTube channel! I'll be trying to post more often now, but it may be hard to juggle regular posting on both my blog and YouTube... they both take up so much time! I need time for homework, projects, school...
Anyway, I'll let you go now! Sorry for the mini-rant!

Giveaway with ReleaseRain!

"Hey Liz!" Kanani said. "Would you mind putting these clothes away? I cleaned and folded them for you."

"Sure thing!" Liz replied as she took the stack of clothes from Kanani.

As Liz was putting the clothes away, she noticed something peculiar. "Hey Kanani, I don't recognize these socks and panties! Are they new or something?"

"Oh yeah!" Kanani exclaimed. "I forgot! Those are for our newest giveaway! Ada, who owns the ReleaseRain Etsy shop, sent them to us to review and give away to one of our followers!"

Bristol, who was busy drawing at her desk, noticed and said, "Wow Kanani! those are super cute! Can I try them on?" "Sure!" Kanani said. "You can even model them for the camera so our readers can get a better look!" "Okay, that sounds great!" Bristol replied.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here are the panties! They have a light green background with cute little animals on them! I think they're just absolutely adorable and they fit the dolls very well too!

Here's a back view. :)

And here are the socks! Aren't they just absolutely darling? The lace is such a cute touch!

They can be worn with black shoes, I tried them on with a pair that I have and they look great!
