Samantha's Skating Party Dress

Samantha could hardly wait for the skating party she had planned with her friends. And she already knew what she wanted to wear. Samantha’s fancy blue crepe dress has a dropped waist and a French blouson top. A wide satin sash ties in a big bow in back. Fluff Samantha’s hair and pin it back with a matching bow barrette.


I own a reproduction of this dress.

*NEWS* Barbie Mini Dolls - McDs Happy Meals



This month Barbie mini dolls are featured inside McDonald's Happy Meals. I got all four dolls, but you can see there are other toys available on the display board.

 

Both Sissy and Candace are excited the dolls come with their own purse you can punch these out from the cardboard.


Samantha's Plaid Winter Cape + Gaiters

Samantha's Cape & Gaiters

For the sophisticated look of a city girl, Samantha wears this outfit:
A Black Watch plaid cape with navy-blue braided trim and tied with a silk cord. Matching plaid gaiters that slip over her shoes to keep her legs warm.


Samantha is borrowing Molly's white muff. I have yet to find Samantha elegant hat and white muff on eBay.

*In Store Report* OG Retro Collection, Matching Girl/Doll Outfits + Mini Dolls

*RUMOR*
I saw a comment on social media that only select Target stores will carry OG in the future. Store associates there said OG will still be available online Target.com.

 In Texas where I live, we have two Target stores. I went to both Target stores over the weekend hoping to get the RV Camper, but they were sold out, as usual. At one location, the OG aisle was very bare. I asked why this was and if they were discontinuing OG. I was told that OG will be getting LARGE shipments for fall (for my particular stores). 

It's pretty clear that with all of the new items coming out, OG is revamping their line the same time AG is re-introducing Samantha. Smart marketing strategy. Here is what I found at the other well stocked Target. (LOTS of photos)

 

They had lots on sale. Abrianna and Alejandra were marked CLEARANCE $19.00


My Sweet Canopy Bed, Scooters and Salon Chairs were marked on sale.

**NEW ITEMS**


 

I love this outfit GO WITH THE BOW

 
 
 


My friend Leigh Wilson took these pictures of items that will be showing up in select Target stores nationwide.


  Look for OG doll stands $9.99 


   We have all heard rumors about an AG 1950s historical doll hopefully releasing in September 2015. Our Generation  has the cutest accessories under their RETRO COLLECTION. Stock up now while stores have these adorable retro accessories and clothing packs.

  

This set is adorable and would work well if you have Ruthie! 



 The purse looks very similar to hers.


 

  I love this bowling set - CUTE CUTE CUTE!
