OOTD – Easter Ballerina

Outfit of the Day – Lea

Easter Ballerina

Dress: Truly Me Celebration Dress

Accessories: Headband from Grace’s Baking Outfit, Lea’s pink logo earrings, flower from Isabelle’s Performance Set, purse from CYO Let’s Smile accessories set, Maryellen’s crinoline

Shoes: Shoes from Shimmer and Lace Party Dress

Sooo… things have been a little crazy here lately. Besides work still being super busy, we had another termite kickhole appear and one of the pipes burst and we had to have a bunch of drywall and insulation removed. So I haven’t really had time to decorate for Easter, but my place is extra hole-y for the season lol. ;p Luckily both issues should be taken care of soon.

Ready for Easter!

I did manage to get one of my dolls dressed for Easter! And I’m in the process of better organizing my doll clothes and accessories, so it didn’t take too long to put this outfit together!

I really love the celebration dress and knew it’d look just as good on Lea as it did on Mia. But by itself, the dress didn’t look that spring-y. I decided to try a bit of color with the shoes. When I tried these pink sandals, I thought to try Maryellen’s pink crinoline as well.

I didn’t want all of the color to be just at the bottom of the outfit, so I used the flower detail from one of Isabelle’s ballet outfits and it really helped to tie everything together.

Lea is such a beautiful doll. I really love her hair, too. She looks fantastic whether it’s up, down, tied back or loose. For this outfit, I went with a ponytail and then added the pink headband to add a little more color.

Hoppy Easter!

Pair spring-y outfits with some bunnies and flowers and voila! Ready for Sunday! Have a fun weekend, everyone!

JanSport Disney Right Pouch

FAVORITE FINDS: OBJECTS

JanSport Disney Right Pouch |  found at a campus bookstore (then got for Christmas)

Good for Disney lovers of any size!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

*checks calendar…*

I mean, HAPPY ALMOST ST. PADDY’S DAY!

How is it MARCH already?! As I mentioned on Instagram, work has been pretty exhausting so far this year, so sometimes I don’t have the energy to do much more when I come home or on the weekends than just flop on the couch and chill. To make a long story short, when my department got elevated into its own division, I became the lead on a bunch of major projects, including a new website, new branding, and an overarching marketing plan. So 2018 has kind of been the year of coffee so far lol…

I’ve only changed TWO of my doll’s outfits since last year and I haven’t even gotten a chance to try on some of the stuff I got for Christmas or my birthday! Hopefully that’ll change soon!

One of the new doll items I have gotten to try out is another JanSport Disney backpack that I got from my mom-in-law for Christmas! I wrote about the first one I bought back in summer (staff member discount for the wiiiiin~!), and I was tempted to get this one at the same time, but figured one tiny, kind-of-expensive doll backpack was enough.

Just Like the Real Thing!

This thing is so realistic! All three zippers actually work and it has a real suede bottom – just like its large (human-sized) counterpart! I think that’s what I love so much about these “packs” – they’re so close to the real thing! The only part they’re missing are the padded shoulder straps. Like the other mini backpack I have, the Right Pouch has the upside-down “V” of elastic at the back. The straps don’t really sit well on the doll’s shoulders, and I think that’s especially true of this one. The Right Pouch seems to be slightly larger than the Lil Break Pouch, and the additional mass makes it slip off more easily. An easy solution is to have the dolls hold their backpacks by the top loop.

Ignore the rollerskates – I love them and can’t bring myself to take them off of Mia. XD

I really love these JanSport mini backpacks. The Disney ones can be a little on the pricey side, but you can sometimes find them on Amazon for slightly cheaper. JanSport also makes non-Disney packs that are equally as cute! This one would be PERFECT for Luciana!

I hope you’re all having a great week! I’m going to be part of an art show this weekend (my second time having artwork in a gallery show!), but I’m hoping I can take some more doll photos at some point soon – or at the very least change more of my dolls out of their winter wear! 😉
