GOTY 2015 Predictions

This is Rachel Crane. She's 12 years old, and loves music. Every time you see her, she's either singing, writing song lyrics, listening to music, or playing her guitar. Rachel has always loved music, ever since her parents sung her lullabies as a baby. What she loves to do most is play her guitar. She writes song lyrics and loves to perform her songs in the annual school talent show. This year's talent show is different, though. One of the biggest music stars, who also happens to be Rachel's favorite, is coming to watch it this year! Rachel is determined to impress her, and maybe get to meet her! But when Rachel's dad loses his job, all hope is lost. Her family has to sell almost everything they have to keep their house, including Rachel's guitar. Rachel is devastated, and doesn't know what to do now that she has no guitar to practice with. It couldn't get any worse for Rachel, until her family finds out that they'll be evicted from their house unless they can come up with the money to pay for it. What will happen now?

What do you think about my prediction? Well, the story isn't really a prediction, it's just something fun I made up. It's probably not what the GOTY 2015 story is, but whatever. The picture is a prediction, though. I edited a picture from AG's website.

What do you think the GOTY 2015 will be like?

Outfit Inspired by Isabelle

Today, Liz is going to be modeling a cute outfit inspired by Isabelle, put together by me. ;)

Cute! Now let's see what makes up this outfit, starting at the top! Scrolllllllllllllll down..... ;)

First up, we have this beautiful hairstyle. It is a French braid that goes down and ends in a side bun. It was inspired by a beautiful hairstyle that my friend wears a lot. :) I also included a purple highlight from the Bright Highlights set from AG, which I think looks really cool in a French braid.

Now we have the charm-keeper necklace that came with Liz. The shirt was kind of plain and needed something colorful on it, and this did the trick! it has different shades of pink/red, so it goes with the whole "ballet/girly" theme of this outfit.

We also have a white tank top here, which is actually a...

Doll Diaries shirt backwards! It's great that this shirt can serve multiple purposes like that. :)

Now here we have a white translucent tutu that I think looks really good with this outfit and really inferences the ballet theme. This isn't an item made for dolls I don't think, and I am not quite sure where it came from. We have had them for a long time, even before we got our dolls, so don't ask where they are from! ;)

Here are some pink and yellow leopard print leggings that are good to put under the tutu. The add a bit of pattern to the outfit, which is always good.

And, we decided that shoes didn't look good with this outfit, so Liz is left barefoot. I don't thin kit looks too bad! :)

Now how did you like that outfit? :D

Now check out some ballet poses that I convinced the reluctant Liz to do!

(And yes you do see Liz wearing a pink highlight on the other side of her head.)

Bye for now guys!!! 

Have you designed any outfits inspired by Isabelle?

Another Update on Isabelle!

I found these pictures on a post that was on this blog. They're of Isabelle's collection!

I'm really not sure if I like her collection. From what I see here, I don't like it so far. That's too bad, because I really planned on getting her. 

But, that doesn't really matter, does it? As long as I like the actual doll, I can still get her. I don't have to get any outfits. I will get a ballet outfit for her, of course.

Also, ( I really hate this) the prices of dolls are going up. $120! Outrageous! $10 more that they are now! I seriously don't want to spend this much on dolls, but if I really want a new doll, I guess I'll have to.

Update on Isabelle

Wow, it's getting really close to Christmas isn't it? Only 3 days left! I can't wait!!!

Now, many of you have probably seen some of this. It's everything we know about Isabelle so far. Let's get started, shall we?

First, we now know what Isabelle completely looks like when she comes to you.

Isn't she beautiful? I know I'm going to get her. In this picture, you can see her accessories. From what we know, they are a hair clip, black jacket, sparkly gold purse, and some I.D. cards. 

We also know about her books. There are three- Isabelle, Designs by Isabelle, and To the Stars, Isabelle. They are all by Laurence Yep. (Just saying- I'm not a fan of Laurence Yep's books...)

Dolly Dorm Diaries got Isabelle somehow to check her out. Dolly Dorm Diaries was not her forever home, she sold Isabelle on Ebay. You can see the listing here. She is already sold.

I hope you enjoyed this little update on Isabelle. Will you be getting her? I hope I will!

My Opinion of GOTY 2014 Isabelle

I know I already told you what my opinion of Isabelle was, I want to update ya'll because I have a completely new opinion.
The blog I saw the new pictures at (you've probably already seen them) doesn't want us to use their pictures (they're nice though!) and it is called Dolly Dorm Diaries, so here's the links to the posts that I'll be talking about. (You might want to open all three in different tabs in your browser before you read this because I might be referencing them.)

• Part 1: The Party
• Part 2: More Party
• Part  3: Hair

First of all, I want to just say straight-out that I would like to save up my money next year to get Isabelle. I like her that much, unless another doll comes out that I like better. 

As I said in my other post, my only problem with her is the hazel eyes. As you all know, all my AG dolls have hazel eyes. (Nothing wrong with that, I'd just like some variety.) 

What I REALLY REALLY REALLY love about Isabelle is her hair piece. I love hair stuff, especially colored hair things (highlights, etc.). I also really like how her hair looks very cleanly cut. It's also straight, and none of my (AG) dolls have straight hair. I could do lots of hairstyles on her, especially because she's a ballerina and she'd have her hair up in a bun a lot. (Her hair would look GORGEOUS in a bun!)

Her meet outfit's cute too, and she's pretty much one of the only dolls that doesn't come with a dress or skirt. 

I think I'm pretty much done telling you everything, and don't be surprised if I add to this or make a completely new and updated post in the future (like this is). You never know who'll get Isabelle next...

Also, I'd like to apologize for the lack of posts this week. I was very busy so I couldn't post as much. It probably still seemed like a lot this week, but I like to post almost every day. I'll try to post tomorrow, too, and get up my Theme Thursday photo for this week. 

That's all for now (Oh yeah- 11 days 'til Christmas! Hooray!),
