Hauntingly Adorable

Personally, I'm not a big participant of the trick or treat festivities, but I do like to point out a cute Halloween outfit when I see one. Misaki here is a special treat and even though she's looking to collect all the candy she can get, she's doing it fashionably. Who can resist that cat purse of hers? Definitely no tricks up her sleeve.....

Office Politics

Sometimes people in the workplace don't "get along" with others because of professional competition, or the desire to "climb the corporate ladder." Others just can't stand their colleagues simply out of jealousy. Amelie figures, if people are going to be petty about her, then at least she can be fashionable at the same time.......

Ship Ahoy!

Over the weekend, my bf and I went down by the ocean side to get some fishing in, and although it was ninety degrees in the valleys, it was a mere fifties at the beach. Even though it was a bit colder than we expected, we still had plenty of fun and Misaki got some snapshots in that have been long overdue. Definitely no complaining here though. It's almost November and temperatures over here are still in the eighties. Got to love sunny So Cal!

Southern Charm

Another guy doll arrived to the dolly house recently, and amazingly, the claws didn't come out all at once! Well, because it looks like he chose first.......on his own. Yes, gasp! Bonjour Misaki is thrilled to pieces, needless to say. Hopefully, this bliss will be a long lasting one......

Starstruck

No matter how much we may try to void off celebrity buzz and the latest entertainment "news", somehow we still get suckered in to finding out the latest juicy star dazzled story. Misaki doesn't like to admit that she keeps up with celebrity gossip, so likes to read her "news" somewhere less inhabited. Unfortunately, for her, on her latest hideout, she had her own paparazzi following her around taking snapshots of her and her secret reading habits. Now, to her dismay, her pictures are on the internet.....

Caught Off Guard

We took Amelie and one of my new homme dolls with us on a recent fishing trip and I decided to give the usual sweet and demure Amelie an edgier look. Needless to say, the new guy who stumbled into her way was in for a surprise!

Shopping In Style

I got my second designer doll purse from La Boutique recently, and I must say I'm hooked!  Apparently, so is Misaki.....I'll have to keep tabs on her spending habits.....

Taking A Break

So, I finally got my first "One of A Kind" Misaki doll! I already have an OOAK Amelie doll, so now this one will join the ranks with her! My bf and I took her with us on our hike yesterday, and "Superstar" was enjoying her time off from stardom. That didn't mean that the spotlight wasn't on her though. Besides the breathtaking views and wonderful wildlife we came across (deer, lizards, and spiders- yuck!), "Superstar" was definitely taking up my camera's memory. The end of the 4 mile roundtrip trail had a waterfall, and a little behind that main waterfall was a miniature one, just perfect for "Superstar" to steal the moment again.

Lawn Strolling

I noticed that a lot of dolly collectors don't like their girls in gown fashions, but I'm quite the opposite. Redressing my dolls in fancy gown reminds me of the British literature that I am such an avid fan of. Since it would appear rather odd if I went around doing my everyday errands in this type of fashion, at least I can enjoy looking at Misaki sporting it. Sport it well, she does!

Being A Tease

A new guy doll arrived today, and it looks like Good Night Misaki managed to snag him first. First day and she's already got him hooked! We'll see how the other girls feel about this.....

Yay! Cosmic Love Amelie's counterpart arrived today! Looks like they'll get along just fine. Well, as long as Remi is out of the picture.....

Arm Candy

Sometimes just sitting at the beach, taking in the amazing never-ending views, watching the sailboats and seals go by, and breathing in the crisp ocean air is just the type of break you need. Looking your best and sporting your favorite purse while relaxing on the seashore doesn't hurt either. At least to Misaki it doesn't.....

Cosmic Love

So, I was practically jumping up and down with joy last night when I deboxed Cosmic Love Amelie. She is even more gorgeous in person and I can't wait for her other counterpart, Rebel Spirit Amelie to arrive soon! I paired her up with her new beau, Remi, and don't they just look dandy together? Although, she might have to share him with Rebel Spirit when she arrives.....

Shoe Addict

So as much as I am a doll addict, I am also a shoe aficionado. However, I do believe that I am more obsessed with my dollys than my eclectic collection of footwear, so Misaki here and I won't have to dispute on who gets what. Looks like she's already got what she's been coveting!

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Today a cold front suddenly came in, and the usually sunny So Cal turned into a foggy, windy, and watery wonderland. I actually embraced the abrupt change in weather, but Amelie didn't seem to appreciate it as much as I did as she quickly found a place to take cover and keep dry. That's what happens when you're so pretty in pink!

Sweet Romance

Remember how I said that my Misaki and Amelie dolls would have to share Auden until I get more guy dolls? I wasn't kidding! Sharing is caring, I guess..... :)

On the Go!

All right, so I know in a recent post, I mentioned that I usually don't keep my dolls in their original fashion. Well, this doll is another exception. Even though her fashion is a bit more on the monochromatic side, I think it suits her beautiful carrot colored hair and adorable freckled face just fine. Don't you?

Study Break Please!

I am always on the lookout for neat looking doll props and when I randomly stumbled across this table & chair set, I was completely suckered in to purchasing it. The extra cool part is that the set came with this gifted matching rug! Practical and versatile, it can be used as a dining table, study desk, and so much more. Looks like Amelie and Misaki like it a whole lot too!
