My new American Girl doll

Sunday, October 02, 2016



'Ello, ello! Well this past week I have received a fair bit of mail and one of the packages I received was my annual order from American Girl! I call it that because I usually got once a year and binge at AG because the shipping is so high, 
if you want an idea, I paid over $100 NZ dollars on shipping.
$100.
I tried not to show my surprise on the phone when i was ordering..

Yeah I'm not buying anything for a bit.

So I usually get a doll within this order because why not?! And I'm not paying that much just for some outfits. 

My life is actually controlled by the shipping costs of the world

Anyway I'm not here to talk about how much I hate paying for shipping but about my new doll! This year I purchased the Girl of the Year Lea.
(I will make a haul post about what I got soon lovelies!)


So I quickly whipped out the day I got her but I'll try take a proper photoshoot of her soon.

Now what made me choose Lea was:
1. She is the girl of the year and I have a track history of seriously regretting not getting them and then they sell for a fortune on the secondary market.

2. I think lea is so unique! I love that she is Brazilian, though I do think American Girl chickened out a bit making her 1/8 Brazilian, like who even knows that?! 
My doll is full Brazilian and she's awesome! 
I really love her colouring, the combo of green eyes, tan skin and like golden hair just slays me!


But I have decided to rename my doll from Lea and I asked on Instagram for some name suggestions and I got quite a few!

Chandler, Cheyenne, Prudence, Valencia, Sistine, Carlee, Cadence, Calista, Cara, Delilah, Maple, Tatum, Brianna, Cora, Dory, Nim, Lucy, Penny, Cooper, Hayley, Charlie, Brogan, Amelia, Bethany, Cassy, Dakota, Ellenor, Fern, Gwen, Harley, Iris, Jahzara, Kailani, Ladasha, Mabel, Namiko, Ozara, Penelope, Brigitta, Cora, Valentina, Gaia, Julietta, Alina, Katerina, Sofia, Katherine, Angelica, Eliza, Peggy, Scarlette, Leilani,

I ended up choosing Maple, I think it really suits her but I now have a long list I can name all my upcoming dolls! Lol 
So meet Maple my newest American Girl! She was a bit pricey to get all the way over here but it was worth it! >.< 
Have a great week loves! I still have one week left of my school holidays! Hooty hoo, ok bye 
Happy doll loving!

  2. Lea is beautiful! My little sister is getting her. The shipping, though... *dies of shock* My favorite thing to do when I get a doll is to name her. Keep on blogging!

    1. Isn't she?! That is so cool, I hope your sister enjoys her! I love renaming my dolls! Sometimes I think the name AG gives them suits them, but I do like changing it so I can have more input in to my dolls :)

  4. She is a total golden girl. Her name suits her very well. These pictures of her are glorious. It is really unfortunate that AG doesn't open proper stores in more places in the world such as Australia and New Zealand so that shipping costs could be reasonable.
