Isabelle's Books and Minis at Barnes ands Noble+Review!

Hello everyone! Today I went to Barnes and Noble with my dad and brother. They had Isabelle's books and mini dolls on display! I took pictures with my iPod, so sorry they're low quality. Enjoy!

 They had a table out with her mini dolls and three books.

 Isabelle,

 Designs by Isabelle,

 and To the Stars, Isabelle. Once my library or I get them, I'll give you a book review!

 My local Barnes and Noble had lots of mini dolls! There were even a few mini Saiges, so if you missed out, I suggest you check again!

 This is our AG section, plus a spinny-rack thingy with the craft and advice books. Look how many minis they had in addition to the shelf in the picture above and the Isabelle table!

We had a lot of fun at Barnes and Noble today! But I had some spending money saved up, so I bought something!

 Introducing Mini Isabelle!!!

She's so pretty! And you know what that means, review! Here's the front of her box.

 The back of her box has a picture of her, a summary of her story, and her price.

 This is what she looks like when you first open her box. The book is in a plastic tray on the lid.

 I love the mini books!0

 The illustration is gorgeous.

 Here she is!

 Isabelle has hazel eyes and blond hair. t's done in two twists at the top, and it's in a side part.

 I'm seriously in love with this shirt! I have to get it in my size! It features a ballerina with gold dots and tulle sleeves.

 Her pants are a shimmery gray denim with an elastic waistband.

 Her shoes are gold and sparkly. They have bows and a slight open heel.

 Her goes down to about her bottom. You can't see the magenta...

 …unless you fan it out. I'm actually happy with the amount of dye. It symbolizes that while coloring looks good, you're beautiful no matter what. Hope I inspired everyoneXD

 You can see it the best by lifting up her hair.

 Her undies are made of the same material as her shirt.

 Here's Isabelle in comparison to some of my other dolls. This may or may not foreshadow something so come…*laughs evilly*

Overall, Isabelle gets a 9.5 out of 10! I wish her undies were thinner, because they make her look a little pudgy (not that that's a bad thing;)). I also wish her pants weren't so tight, because she can't "dance" in them. Oh well, I guess I need to sew her a dance wardrobeXD

Isabelle is going to go by Hayden around here. Isabella is going to be her middle name. You can look for her in the Meet the Dolls page. I've updated all of the dolls profiles, so be sure to check it out!

Well, I'm off to read and get ready for ballet tomorrow (ironically). Bye!

Birthday Surprises II

Hey Doll Lovers! Sorry I haven't posted in AGES. Literally! It was my birthday last week! I had a party with my family and in a week I'm having a party with my BFF's. And I got some pretty awesome presents:)

 My grandma gave me a HUGE stuffed gorilla. He's taller than my AG's!

 My brother gave me a present that came in a promising box...

 Coconut's Pajamas! They are sooooooo cute! Review time! After I show you the card he made me.

 Aww! He's seven, but he knows I'm allergic to coconut!

 A pretty good haul!

 The top is ADORABLE. It has Coconuts and snowflakes all over it:

 It closes with velcro.

Pros:
Adorable!
Can be used as a regular shirt as well
Easy to get on and off

Cons:
I've got nuttin'

 The Coconut slippers are my favorite part of the outfit! The little puppy faces are just so cute!

 Pros:
Cute BEYOND words
Works well with the outfit

Cons:
A little to small for the doll
Made out of towel-like material

 The pants are cute...

 Pros:
Easy to get on/off
Can be used as regular clothes

Cons:
A little plain. Red would have been better.

 Scrunchies. What else is there to say?

 And a charm.

 Overall, a CUTE outfit that looks STUNNING on Felicity, even when sideways! 9 out of 10!

And now, coming to you all the way from (where my babysitter who sent this to me for my birthday lives)...

 MINI MARIE-GRACE!!!

 My AMAZING babysitter Nikki sent me Mini Marie-Grace as my birthday present! She's GORGEOUS!

 Yes, she sent me the 2011 25th Anneversary version. I don't know how she got her!

 Isn't she adorable?

 Bad pic, but you can see that her eyes are almost the same color as mine!

 So is her beautiful hair!

 The hair on the left is mine, and you can see that it's a pretty close match!

 I love my boots, my boots and me...

 Clothing!

 I love her boots, her boots and me,
They've got black stitched buttons, can't you see,
They're hard to get off,  'cause she's meant for display,
But her boots are cute, 'cause they belong to Marie-Graaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!
*applause*

Pros:
ADORABLE!!

Cons:
Hard to get on/off

 Pantaloons.

Pros:
Detailed
Accurate to her era

Cons:
Hard to get on/off

 Socks.

 Pros:
She's gotta have em'

Cons:
Easy to lose

 Her dress is not meant to be a dress. AG sells the big version in two pieces. Why it's only one is a mystery. Maybe to cut cost? Time issues? Size issues? I don't know...

See? Two pieces.

 But it's a BEAUTIFUL dress. It's incredibly detailed, down to the two stitched buttons.

Pros:
Amazingly detailed
Looks adorable on her

Cons:
Not meant to be a dress...
Hard to get on/off

 Her book is an abridged version of her meet book.

 I just love these mini books...

Pros:
In scale to the doll
Detailed
You can read it!
Illustrations

Cons:
Abridged

 And because she's an LE, she came with a sticker!

Lissie, Elizabeth, Mallie, Gracey

 All of my minis:) Marie-Grace decided to go by Gracey, though her full name is Marie-Grace.

I had an excellent birthday, and I'm sooooo grateful for my presents, including the ones not shown. (These include books, clothes, a hairbrush, a bracelet, a blanket, and a Rainbow Loom!:D) I love everything I got, an excuse to eat cake, and spending time with my family;)

Hey gorilla! You want a piece of me?!?
