PZAS Winter Wardrobe Set! Five Complete Outfits In An Amazing Set!

Hi Doll Friends,

I've purchased PZAS Doll Clothes in the past... I've always been very happy with them! 

One of the sets I've looked at for ever so long but never taken the plunge on until now was the 

Winter Wardrobe Set!

Now that I have it, I don't know what on earth I waited so long for. 

It is fabulous!

Now, don't get me wrong, the $49.95 price tag is a bit daunting to spend all at once, at least it was for me... 

Well, unless you compare it to American Girl Doll brand clothes and then it seems downright inexpensive honestly. 

It comes with five complete sets of clothes! 

When I say complete, I mean really complete!! 

Each outfit comes with a pair of footwear appropriate for the outfit and even accessories! 

They are so cute!!

They come in these adorable gift boxes and so they would make wonderful gifts for any doll collector!

See, here are the cute shoes, boots and skates! They even come with an umbrella!

Here is all the comes in the 'Sweet Little Feet' box! Two pairs of adorable dress shoes, two pairs of adorable boots and a pair of ice skates along with the umbrella I already mentioned. 

This is what you see in the second box containing the outfits. Each of the ensembles is packaged separately in a clear plastic package. So, feasibly, saying you have five little girls to purchase gifts for you could even separate the set out and gift each outfit individually too. 

Honestly,  any one of the outfits would be a lovely gift in itself!

Here is the back of the box. It shows each outfit and what's included. 

This is the side of the box. 

The opposite side looks exactly the same or I would've photographed it as well. 

This is the first outfit, the winter 'ski' type outfit. It comes with a snow jacket, snow pants, two hats, a pair of mittens and a scarf... And it even includes a little snowman! The white snow boots are meant to go with this outfit. 

Then there is the 'dressy' outfit. As you can see, it comes with the pretty dress, a little 'case', a hair bow, a necklace, a bracelet and even a set of cute little cupcakes! The pink flats are meant to go with this outfit. 

Then there is the raincoat set. It comes with a reverse-able rain coat, a white A-line dress, a pair of socks and the cute little doll you see here. The clear rain-boots are meant to go with this outfit along with the umbrella. 

Then we have the skating outfit. It includes a blue leotard, a flowered skirt, white mittens, a white scarf and an adorable necklace with a skater charm. Obviously the skates are meant to go with this outfit. 

Last but not least there is the walking coat outfit. It includes the plum colored walking coat, a gray A-line dress, a pair of gray panties, a scarf and a necklace. The gray boots are meant to go with this outfit. 

I have tried most of the outfits on dolls... I just haven't had a chance to get them photographed yet. 

The quality of these outfits and items is just so amazing. Really, they are made very well! The value of this set is absolutely spot on. 

I highly recommend it!

Then, as a surprise I didn't even expect the set also included this cute little drawstring bag that, I presume, is meant to hold all the little accessories and such when they are not being played with. 

Fabulous!

So, if you're looking for an instant winter wardrobe for your doll, look no further, this set will cover all your bases! 

Better run! So many blog drafts to finish now that I've found a spare moment to work on them!

Bracelets As Knecklaces For Your Dollies!!

Hi Doll Friends!

I've been meaning to write this post for quite some time now... It just kept getting pushed back in the 'blog idea queue' because other ideas would come to mind and I'd act on them first. What can I say? I am a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kind of a girl. 

So, here I am, finally, to write a post about an idea to help your dollies accessorize better! Now, you know me, I squeeze pennies until they squeel for pain. So, often I'd see cute jewelry that was specifically made for dolls and covet them for my own dollies. Then I'd look at the price. Um... Do you know how many dolls I have?! So, buying them wasn't ever really something I could see myself doing. Fast forward to me being at my favorite local thrift store one day a while ago (??)... I was looking at the hanging jewelry and noticed a pretty chain bracelet and a lightbuld went off in my head. 

"It may be a bracelet for a real person but that is totally a chain knecklace for a doll!!" 

And, well, I cleared them out of every single 'chain link' bracelet they had that day and have bought every single one since. They sell them at my local for $1-2, that I can handle! I have been slowly putting them on my dolls as I bring them home... I obviously started with my favorite and most cherished dolls and as I'd find 'nicer' bracelets, I'd upgrade theirs (passing along the 'less nice' one to some other doll). So, most of my 'major players' or 'A List' dolls have had pretty 'knecklaces' for a while how. 

So this last week, my daughter and I met one of my dearest friends at the mall for a bite to eat and a bit of window shopping... I don't really buy much at the mall unless it involves my daughter because when you can get top notch, name brand, near new, really stylish clothes for $5/bag at your local thrift every six months? It makes it incredibly hard to buy them at the mall, even at 75% off. You know what I mean? It pays to be on the smaller end of the size spectrum I'll admit... But I digress. Suffice to say I don't buy my clothes at the mall unless I am in Victoria's Secret. Wait, was that TMI? This is a doll blog. Nah, everyone wears knickers after all! What was I even talking about before I derailed? *glances up to top of paragraph* Oh, yes, the mall last week. My friend had a gift cert from a store I'd never heard of called "Icing". I was like "Oh, is that, like, a cupcake shoppe?" but nope, it's a little costume jewelry and accessories store. So, we went in and as my friend was looking around I noticed a clearance rack... Hmmmm... Only to find little cards of bracelets for like $1.99 each!!! What? So... Guess what I did? I picked up three of them (because I try to be reasonable!) and brought them up to plunk down my $6+tax. Only to have the shoppe girl tell me that all the clearance was buy one get one free!! What?! So, then I went back to said rack and cleared out every single bracelet card I could see. Hahaha. Sadly there were only five, so I grabbed another item for myself for the sixth. What a bang up deal!! You can see most of them above. I'd already taken two of them off one card before I remembered to photo them. Oops! Oh well, I'll tell you which they were when I show you them on the dolls... So, here are some of the dolls wearing the bracelet-knecklaces. 

Crystal looks great in her star knecklace, right? It' looks so cute on her!

This safety pin knecklace made me giggle and I knew it had to belong to Patricia. 

The cross went to Nadine. Nadine is named after my Granny and she was one of the strongest Christian influences in my life so... Perfect!!! I love it on her!!

Some of the bracelets were made for children apparently and were rather 'cheap' in that they were just elastic with some beading at the front. But they looked great on the smaller dolls!

This one Marley is wearing is one of the ones I took off the card before I thought to photo. 

Another elastic one but I think it looks rather smart on Holly Doll.

Then I decided I'd photo some of the other dolls who'd already gotten thrifted bracelets... Here is Frann in hers. I love love love it on her. I think it's perfect. She was naturally one of the very first dolls to get a knecklace. 

This sun and moon bracelet-knecklace is acutally one of my own from my own jewelry box. It's one I wore a long time ago and I thought it made a great one for Shuri. 

I love this simple chain I found for Josh Doll. Isn't it handsome on him?

This one I found for Sueretta Doll is one of my favorites. It's so pretty on her! 

Of course Vito was the next one to get a chain. 

I know it's not really what it stands for but this little Di bracelet-knecklace is perfect for Diane Doll I think. 

As my daughters second ever American Girl Doll Saige was on priority list too so... She has the pretty heart knecklace. 

Then, I ran out of time on the day I was doing the 'bracelet-knecklace' photos and... Haven't gotten back to it. So... I'll show you some others from prior blog post photos just in the interest of getting this post up before my kids are in college. Ha!

Here is Pamela Doll in her pretty silver chain. Her's is actually made out of silver, I got it at the thrift for $3.00!

Lisa is wearing a bracelet from my own jewelry box... It's a bracelet my Mom bought me in Italy many years ago made out of glass beads. Isn't it beautiful? I am actually really glad of being able to show it off more since I honestly haven't ever worn it too much. Glass beads?! On my person? Um, yeah... I break even sturdy jewelry so I never wanted to risk it. I do love it though and it's now precious because Mom has gone to Heaven. The 'pearls' Sasha is wearing is a 'costume jewelry' one with elastic cord but they look smashing with her dress right?

Carissa is one named after my sweet sister in law so of course she has one of the first... I think the little pearl-chain suits her perfectly!

Kevin and Myfanwy both have chains... You can't really see Myfanwy's but... Kind of. Keep an eye out for her in future posts and you'll see it. 

Jen Doll wearing a beaded chain.

Radel has a simple gold chain. 

Heather Doll's knecklace is one of my favorite I've found. I think it's perfect for her. I would know, being as she is my doppelganger doll. Hahaha. 

Bernie is wearing the same one as Jen only in blue. I think it really brings out her pretty blue eyes. 

Jody got the Rockets one... Perfect!!

Nanea is one of my favorites for so many reasons and so... She got a pretty (real silver!) chain. 

Prism got one too... 

I know I have more bracelet-knecklaces on other dolls but... I'm out of time. I think this is enough to give you the idea though! So, if you want some great knecklaces for your dollies they may be no further away than your own jewelry box! Or your local thrift store or garage sale... Or anywhere you can buy jewelry, really. 

So much fun. By the time I am done, my dolls are going be better dressed than I am. Maybe they already are? Hmmmm...

Better run in order to get to church on time! 

Oh, and Happy Fathers Day. Not that I think a lot of fathers read this blog. Haha. But I'll say it anyway cos Dads are important.

Fashion Show in The Doll House!!

Greetings and Salutations Doll Friends!!! 

It's finally here!! The great idea Oriana had of having a Fashion Show in the Doll House was realized yesterday! Who would've thought so much work went into staging one...! But it all paid off because everyone had so much fun!!

The featured designer is the amazing Goofy! Her clothes are the favorite clothes of all of the dolls in the Doll House because they are so well made and stylish. Frann has sent so many amazing ones!! Thanks so much Frann for all the beautiful clothes!! You'll have to show Goofy the Fashion Show! 

*Update!! Goofy has a blog! It's written in Korean but the photos are so much fun to see! Here is the link! Enjoy!!

The first ensemble grouping was the amazing Adidas Jumpers! 

The next Ensemble Grouping was the adorable sweatshirts and cute polka dot skirts!

Then came the cute reversable vests! The girls who'd been in the Hula Class had already been in basically the same outfits and so they decided it made sense for them to model the vests too... Perfect outfit for the midwest this February actually... It's cold in the morning but has been getting up into the 70s all week!

Next came the cute fall outfits.....

Then the Spring Dressses... 

Then the traditional Korean Dresses....

Then the Prairie Dresses...

Then the amazing coats!

And last but not least the beautiful wedding dress and fancy party dresses!!

That's it for now Doll Friends!! I know this was mostly photos and I didn't write much but I've been having technical issues for 24hours and it took most of the time I have to write the blog to even get it to upload!! So... I plan to come back and do a better job of telling the story but wanted ya'll to be able to see the photos too. I'll try and give all the doll credits (type of doll) but if, for whatever reason, I don't get back here to update (I have been known to forget such things and get on to the next doll project.... Teehee) be sure and ask me any questions you might have about doll types or anything else you see that you have a question about! I have to run and get ready for church or I'll be late!!

Till next time!!
