Opening and Review of the Sparkle and Shine Accessories Set from the Truly Me Line

Hey Everyone!

Today I will be opening and reviewing the new accessory starter set from the Truly Me line from American Girl. I did post an opening and review on my YouTube channel if you'd like to take a closer look at her outfit and the doll itself. Here's the link to the video:



I just wanted to say a huge thank you to American Girl for sending me this product for free to review, I really appreciate it! Be sure to comment down below your thoughts and opinions on the set.


The set is called the Sparkle and Shine Accessories set from the Truly Me line. This item is a great starter pack option as it has some clothing items and accessories too.


The first item is the set is the skirt. It is the teal color with silver stars on the bottom with a glittery silver elastic waist on the top.


The next item in the set is the tights. They're silver to match the skirt and there's elastic on the waist.


There are a few outfit accessories too apart of the set. The first item is the headband. The teal headband is made out of a plastic material but it does have a lovely star design on the side. Next to the headband, there's a purple belt with a loop on the side so it stays in place.


Here we have some money in a plastic sleeve. The main feature of the set is the purse. It's a lovely midnight blue color with a silver strap. The opening is held down by a velcro strap so none of the accessories fall out of the bag.


A great interactive feature item apart of the set is the phone. The phone can be separated into two seperate parts to add in the interchangeable screen. There's also a phone case, with a handle on the back.


There are two interchangeable screens and they are double sided so there are a total of four different options to choose from. The first two here are of: the home screen and the American Girl games website.


On the other side, the screens show a phone call to 'sis' and the weather app.


Overall this set is a great starter pack as it provides a variety of clothing pieces and accessories too.

Opening and Review of Joss's Beach Jumper

Hey everyone!

Today I am going to be talking about Joss's Beach Jumper from the Joss Kendrick's line (GOTY 2020). The outfit comes with a jumper, shirt and a pair of shoes. If you'd like to see a full opening and review of the set, click on the link down below!

I did just want to say a huge thank you to American Girl for gifting me this outfit to review.


Here we have the front of the box, with an image of the outfit on the lid to show an overview of the set. 


The first item is the jumper. It is a bright orange color with white stitching on the front, side and the pockets. There is a small graphic design on the side saying 'Waves for Days' with a small image of a rainbow to match one of the pillows apart of her Volkswagen Surf Bus. The pockets are real and not for decoration and the buttons can be opened as well.


On the back of the set there are real working pockets and the straps have velco so they can be easily removed.


Here we have the t-shirt. It is plain white, though there are coral and teal stripes on the top and the sleeves.


A casual outfit wouldn't be complete without a pair of tennis shoes. They are slightly raised off the ground, therefore looking more like platform shoes. There is elastic on the front to hold the dolls foot in place, with some graphics on either side of the shoe to give it a bit more of a design.


Overall this outfit would have to be my favorite outfit from Joss's collection. It suits her personality and is a perfect outfit for the summer season! What are your thoughts on the set?


I often post 'Who Wore it Better' posts on my Instagram so I thought I'd bring it over to my blog. Here we have two Girl of the Year Dolls wearing Joss's Beach Jumper, Joss (GOTY 2020) and Lea (GOTY 2016).
Who do you think wore the outfit best?

Truly Me #85 is one of the newest additions to the Truly Me collection. Her box is styled very similar to the other Truly Me boxes, with American Girl written in the middle and an image on the bottom of the box showing an overview of the doll. There's a small window on the top of the box to see the doll inside.


Each Truly Me doll comes with a book, Friends Making Them and Keeping Them. This book is filled with images, advice and activities on making and keeping friends.


Here we have the doll out of the box. She has dark skin, dark brown eyes, feathered eyebrows and an Addy face mould. As for her outfit, she is wearing the new truly me meet outfit.


Here we have her hair out of the hair net, it is a gorgeous black-brown color. Her hair is in curls and it is quite thin but there is a lot of it with her hair part over to the side.

The jacket that she is wearing is a purple color with a zipper that opens and closes. The zipper is multicolored with a star graphic on the side.


The dress is short sleeved and it is white with a star design across it with multiple different colors.


The shoes are glittery pink and are styled very similar to the shoes in the previous meet outfit.


Overall she is such a gorgeous doll and a wonderful addition to the Truly Me line. If you are thinking about purchasing her, I would recommend it as she would be a lovely part your doll collection!

Opening and Review of the Explore More Travel Outfit ~ Who Wore it Best?

Hey everyone!

Today I am going to be talking about the new Explore More Travel Outfit from the Truly Me line. It comes with the outfit itself along with some smaller accessories. If you'd like to see a full opening and review of the set, click on the link down below!


Here we have the front of the box, with an image of the outfit on the lid to show an overview of the set. 


The first item is the tank top. To tie in with the travel theme, the shirt has the text 'Explore More' on the front in a silver font. In the middle of the shirt, there is a cactus design with a flower on either side. As this shirt is for summer, it is styled to be a tank top with a knot design on the top of each sleeve.


The next item apart of the outfit are the shorts. They are mainly a mint green color with a cacti and floral print on the front and back with pockets on either side. There is elastic on the waist with a bow on the front with two pearl beads attached to them. What's interesting about the shorts is that they are styled very similar to a skirt, making the item quite different from any other set released by American Girl. The item made out of a lightweight material which ideal for hot weather.


Here we have some glitter jelly sandals. There are straps on the front of the shoe for design and one along the back to hold the foot in place.


A summer set wouldn't be complete without a pair of sunglasses. They are a bright pink color to match the accessories apart of the set.


The last accessory item is the purse. The purse is clear to be able to see what's inside, though it is mainly a pink color. There is a strap that wraps across the back so it can we worn.


There is velcro on the flap to be able to open and close the purse. This avoids any smaller accessories from falling out.


Here we have the accessories from the set. Overall, this is a wonderful summer outfit with some great smaller accessories. I do really like the cacti theme to the set and the outfit is styled quite differently from any other outfit American Girl has released in a while.


I often post 'Who Wore it Better' posts on my Instagram so I thought I'd bring it over to my blog. Here we have two of my newest dolls in my collection, Meadow (Truly Me #86) and Hope (Truly Me #88).
Who do you think wore the outfit best?

Opening and Review of American Girl Airlines Set from the Truly Me Collection

Hey everyone!

Today I am going to be talking about the new American Girl Airlines Set from the Truly Me line. The set includes a variety of travel related accessories that would be brought on or used while on a plane. Here we have the front of the box with an image to show an overview of the items in the set. I did post a full opening and review of the set on my channel. Be sure to click on the link to see the video!

 I just wanted to say a huge thank you to American Girl for sending me this product for free to review, I really appreciate it!

A question for you, will you be purchasing the set when it's been released?


American Girl Airlines Set:
Pasta, Dinner Roll, Butter, Neckpillow, Headphones, Book, Airline Ticket, Tray, Tablet, 2 Interchangeable Screens, Plate, Two Sets of Shortbread Cookies, Knife, Fork, Water Bottle and Placemat.


Let's go ahead and take a look at the food items in the set, there is a full meal provided. The first piece is pasta with some detail of basil, cheese and tomatoes on the set itself. The next item is a dinner roll, which looks very realistic while a small butter packet is provided with it as well. All of these items are made with a plastic material.


An airline set wouldn't be complete without a plane ticket. The item is a blue and cream color with small details on it to replicate a real ticket. There is departure (LA) and arrival (NY) information on the corner of the ticket, along with a flight number, departure time, gate, class, reference number and flight number with a barcode on the side and lower part of the ticket. The other item included in the set is a 'Smart Girls Guide' book. This one is of course related to travel, with the title "Travel: Everything You Need to Know About Adventuring Near and Far". There is a larger copy available at American Girl so this set does nicely tie in with the real item.


There are images and text included in the book, though the text is quite small to fit into the miniature sized book.


The next two items are related to comfort, in order for the doll to have a relaxing plane trip. The first item is a neck pillow, with a bright green and yellow print. The design is themed to summer with with small prints of pineapples with heart shaped eyes throughout the item. There are also a set of wireless headphone which are pink and white. This item is made out of a plastic material.


To continue along with comfort items, here we have a tablet with 2 interchangeable screens. The tablet is pink and white, to match the headphones. There's a stand of the back in order for the item to sit upright by itself and a removable stylus pen. The 2 interchangeable screens are doublesided, therefore there are a total of four different screens to choose from. One of the screens is based around Blaire's book (GOTY 2019) and a Sudoku game while the other screen is based around entertainments/games (Just Dance and Megablocks).


There is a small opening on the side of the tablet to change the screens when neccessary.


Along with the main meal there is a small snack included in the set. This includes two shortbread cookies sets, with two cookies in each packet. There is a red label at the front, while the rest of the packaging is clear to be able to see the items inside.


Some more essentials that are apart of the set includes: a napkin, a knife/fork set and a napkin.


The next item we will be taking a look at is the plate. As you can see it is arched on either side, though the items do stay on the plate itself. It is a lightweight plastic material.


Most food items are served on a tray when on a plane, therefore this set wouldn't be complete without one. The tray is a dark green color with the classic American Girl star in the middle. The item is a lightweight plastic material, though there are no stoppers on the bottom which may cause it to slide. There is also a placemat included in the set. It is made out of a paper material which can easily bend. The item is a teal and purple color with AG Airlines and a design of a plane in the middle of the item.


Overall this is a very well rounded set with multiple travel related items. The food pieces look quite realistic and the comfort items are great additions to the set. Are you planning on purchasing the set when these items are released? Comment down below!
