New American Girl Items for Spring 2013

Heyy AG Lovers! American Girl has come out with new things today :)
Here are all of the new items and some of my opinions on them. There are four new Historical items. Two for Caroline and two for Molly. There are also new MAG clothing and accessories out. Let's get started!

Sweet Spring Dress for Dolls + Charm

I really like this outfit a lot and think it 's super cute! It costs $30.


Plaid Party Dress for Dolls + Charm

This is a plaid dress with shoes and a hair clip. I like the design and love all the new doll dresses since I have one and would like to get some more. It costs $30.


Cycling Outfit + Charm

This is a new sports outfit for bicycle riding (there's also a doll bike you'll see later in this post!). I think it's great AG has a wide variety of outfits for different activities. It costs $28, which is less expensive than many of their sports outfits.

Easy Breezy Outfit + Charm

This is one of my favorite outfits they released! I know that some people will look at it and think "Really?" but I love fun summery outfits that cheer me up :) Where I live we've had 3 snow days so far and there's snow on the ground right now so this outfit gets me excited for spring :D It costs $28.


Lots of Dots Bath Wrap + Charm

A new bath robe for your dolls covered in fun polka-dots. It has the robe, slippers, and headband. This is $24.


Now I'll show the MAG accessories/furniture.

Trail Bike

This is bike I mentioned earlier. I think it's looks so much fun and would be awesome in videos! It does cost $100, but I think it's still super cute.


Pet Trailer

This is the Pet Trailer which can attach to the Trail Bike or be used separately with the handle. The wheels roll and the opening roll's up as shown in the picture. It costs $48 and is sold separately from the bike.


Styling Chair

This is the updated version of the Doll Salon Chair. There was a blue one before this. It's the same as the other one but pink. It costs $60.


Starry Doll Holder

This is a clear doll holder that can attach to a wall or door. It holds your doll under her arms with the metal hooks. It costs $24.


Happy Birthday Set

This is a really adorable new set for your doll's birthday :)  I love the little accessories it comes with and the colors are so bright and happy. It costs $42.


Pet Party Set

This set is for a pet party. The toy ball fits in the box and the dog bone shaped "cake" is really cute. I like the party hat :)  It is $20.


Those are all the MAG things! Now I'll show you the Historical items.

Caroline's Work Dress

This is a new dress for Caroline that features the dress, bonnet, and shoes. It costs $32.


Caroline's Calf, Garnet

This is Garnet (Caroline's baby cow). She has a rope halter on her. This costs $28.


Molly's Floral Pajamas for Dolls

This is a limited edition pajama set for Molly. They also come with slippers. I don't know how long this will be available but since it says limited edition, if you like it I would get it as soon as you can. It costs $24.


Molly's Bed and Bedding

Her bed is another limited edition item. This features the bed, bedspread, mattress, and pillow. It costs $94. Again, if you like this, try to get it as early as you can.
*I also want to mention that last year, Cecile & Marie-Grace had two limited edition outfits and a table that came out in February 2012. They were retired in December 2012, so if Molly follows the same pattern you will have some time to get them. It all depends on how many they make and how popular it is though. They could sell out faster but I wanted to note this bit of information. *

I hope you enjoy this post and the new AG things! Let me know what you like/your opinions on the new AG release down below.

New Series Insider Info #1

     Heyy AG Lovers! I'm going to be doing these "Insider Info" posts about my new series coming in March. This weekend I'm going to finish up sets and possibly start filming. The next 2-3 weekends I will also be filming. For the weekend after that I will edit and then in mid-late March upload the first episode. I may do a trailer or preview type video and if I do that will be up in  March.
     Now about the series itself...the main idea of this series is...fashion!
     Thanks for reading this post and commenting! :)
Also, let me know if you like this new blog design. I may change the top tabs to a different font but I'm not sure yet.

GOTY 2013 Events at AG Places

Heyy guys! I was on the American Girl website the other day, and noticed that they had posted the special events for her in 2013.

Her debut is January 1,2,3, and 4 - Girl of the Year 2013 Debut. It says," Celebrate the arrival of our newest Girl of the Year! She's a spirited girl who uses her imagination to create art and inspire change. At this special event, your girl can be among the first to learn about this new character's world. Join us for demonstrations, crafts, free giveaways, and more.

Other events include Girl of the Year 2013 Crafts and a Scavenger Hunt.
Girl of the Year 2013 Crafts - "She can discover her creative side with our newest Girl of the Year! Join in the fun during this free event, where your girl can make crafts inspired by the stories of our newest contemporary character.

Girl of the Year 2013 Scavenger Hunt - "Learn about our newest Girl of the Year! Your girl will go on a fun-filled scavenger hunt, collecting fun facts about our Girl of the Year 2013 along the way. Plus, she'll get a free American Girl poster at the end!

The way that they explained her made it sound like her stories will be more about art than horses. "...spirited girl who uses her imagination to create art and inspire change."

Another event they have is the GOTY 2013 Celebration.
Girl of the Year 2013 Celebration - "Join us to celebrate the arrival of our newest Girl of the Year! At this special event, girls will learn about this new contemporary character, make fun crafts, and enjoy a delicious meal. Includes an American Girl book to take home."

For exact dates and times, check the American Girl website Store section. It may vary depending on which AGP you go to.

Budgeting Money for American Girl

Heyy AG lovers!  Today I'm going to be sharing with you some budgeting strategies I use when it comes to American Girl.  Whenever I decide I want to put aside money for American Girl or purchase something from AG, I count all my money.  So, what do you do after you've saved all this money? Do you spend it all? Do you keep saving?  These are questions I think about, because while saving money is a popular topic, budgeting doesn't seem to be out there as much. So I put together this post  :)

1. Count Your Money
   This post will help most if you have a lot, maybe over $200, because that's when budgeting your money can become more important.

2. Wishlist
    Creating a wishlist can be fun, so put together a list of what you'd like most. From there, you can figure out what you would like to get. Put in some non-AG items too :)

3. Saving What You Have
    Put aside some money to keep saving, if you'd like. That way, you still have some money and you have a starting point for saving after you've spend some money.

4. American Girl/Non-American Girl
    My suggestion would be to put some money aside for non-ag items, like clothing, other hobbies you're interested in/toys , camera, etc. I love art, so for me these other things include art supplies. Try putting 1/4 of your money aside for other items, and keep the remaining 3/4 for American Girl. If you have many other interests other than American Girl, try half for AG and half for whatever else you'd like. Take the non-AG items from your wishlist and put that with your money.

5. American Girl
    AG is expensive, so take a look at the AG items on your wishlist and total the cost. If you have less money than what your wishlist costs, split your list in two. Things you'd like most, and things you want but can wait. This way you're not permanently removing anything and you can get it at a later time. Now, you're ready to order or buy AG items.

5. *Remember*
A few things to remember:
*AG releases and retires items. If you're worried that something may retire soon, get that first. Also, they release new items. If you are around a time when you know AG usually releases new things, wait to see if you like anything from the release.

*You don't have to spend all your money at once. It is okay to keep saving some if you'd like.

*Remember what you like most. If you didn't originally want something, don't "talk yourself into" an item just because you have money for it, if you don't really like it that much.

If you'd like to see Saige, see my post here: http://ag4ever365.blogspot.com/2012/11/saige-goty-2013.html
Now that you know what she looks like, maybe she's your next item to budget money for :)

Saige GOTY 2013 with Picture

Heyy guys! A photo of the doll Saige is here! Who/where/when the photo was taken by is unknown, and Doll Diaries has the photo on their website. I decided to share my opinion. Here she is:

She's so pretty! She has a fair complexion, different than what most people thought she would have. Since the book description said she lived in New Mexico, people though she would have a more Hispanic complexion. So I must say that I was surprised to see what she looks like. She is very pretty though!! She has blue-ish eyes (2 year in a row!) and brownish hair. I was surprised that she had blue eyes though...McKenna and now Saige do, that's two Girl of the Year's in a row. He hair is brown, although it looks like it has some brownish-red in it. Her meet outfit is very cute. It looks to be two separate pieces, although it may be a dress. Her horse is on the cover with her and you can see the Meet book better here. 

Also, I apologize for not posting in a while....my family's house lost power due to the storm.

So, do you like Saige GOTY 2013? Leave your opinion down below :)

Zoe In Ireland - Video of Pictures from Ireland

Heyy guys! Today I uploaded a video with pictures from Ireland! Here it is:

I put the pictures into a video and added some music, YouTube had Irish music so I chose that :)

I had so much fun! :D Ireland is such a beautiful country! We explored many backroads, and visited castles, and ate at a Medieval Banquet at a folk park in Bunratty. I loved the trip and had a wonderful time!
