*NEWS* American Girl Stores (Temporarily) CLOSING March 16

*Reader Photos* Samantha at AGP St Louis

Vanessa took Samantha to AGP St. Louis for the royal treatment.

At the Bistro.

"I thought it would be fun to treat Sam to a new hairstyle! She got the sweetheart hairstyle. At first the hair stylist wasn't sure if it would work because of the pie bangs. I love how it turned out! "

"Here's a picture of Sam in her new dress with the gardening set I picked up. The only thing is they forgot the ladybug stickers. I was sad about that because I do love my little ladybugs." 

*In Store Report* Spring Releases AGP St. Louis

Vanessa stopped in to see the new spring releases and sends in this report from the St. Louis store.

My daughter has a BB so we had to check out the section. The carousel outfit was adorable enough and they had a lot of sales on different items.

 The PWP was super cute.  

 I fell in love with the garden set so much I bought it and I only planned to get Samantha a few things.

The shimmer and lace dress is okay enough. It reminds me of a cousin's room in the early '90s and some of my grandma's decor color scheme at that same time. Then again, the '90s seems to be back in style and since AG does their research I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of that color in the spring time.

Online I didn't like Julie's dress much, but in person, it's pretty darn cute! One of the associates admitted that most of the colors aren't accurate, but the style is and the color appeals to girls in the targeted age range. So that's good! I think it's adorable in person and a must have for any Julie collector. The sandals are nice.

 The stage make up set was a part of the Limited Edition set last year.

When I saw Rebecca's outfit in person I really didn't like it at all. Initially when I saw it online I wasn't so sure and didn't want to make a rash judgement. 

 I noticed some of the sets that were released last spring were broken up and renamed, like Kit's Candy making set is now Kit's Homemade Sweets and Kit's Springtime outfit. I just realized I didn't see her new photography outfit! 

That chicken with LE outfit is soooo adorable. I wish it was sold separately.

Thank you Vanessa. An added piece of info, the Boston store, DC and St. Louis stores DO NOT have the gazebo on the floor due to online backorder date - March 13 as of the time of this post.

American Girl Store St. Louis Photos Part 1 - Historicals and Isabelle.

 There were tons of Marie-Grace dolls left at the store, but I was super excited when they still had lacy parasols left, so I added that to my collection. 

Marie-Grace's vanity, crinoline and chemise, and Cecile's pajamas was all that was left at the store.  On my last trip they had run out of mini NOLA dolls, the parasol, Argos, and Marie-Grace's accessories.  So hurry if you still need Marie-Grace!!!

 Thanks Maria for sending in these great photos!!
