On my latest Walmart trip, I saw some new fashionista fashion packs for the curvy and the tall ladies. I was happy to see they had the same fashions for both body types. I was anxious to see how the curvy ladies looked in the new pieces. There were two outfits with a handbag and shoes for $7.94.
I love her in this outfit. She is looking super sexy.
This sheer jacket is part of the ensemble. I think the jacket will look better with something else.
This is the second dress in the package, with the handbag.
I took a peek at the Sparkle Girlz clothes. The is a cute one armed off the shoulder dress.
This blue and white paisley dress is for my neighbor.
Isn't this cute? I picked this for my neighbor, too, but I started liking it more and more. I will keep this one, and look one just like it, to give away.
I was really excited to see the exercise outfit. I've been meaning to make another gym. I think next year we will again see Leslie's husband's revamped gym.
One of our Made to Move ladies was happy to try it on. Get it Sparkle Girlz! I'm really impressed they are still bringing out so many fashions. Sidenote: I noticed for the first time there was a lot of theft with the SG clothes. It really upset me. They have done a great job keeping their prices at $1.97. A lot of theft could jeopardize the price and/or the availability.
After seeing the new Hip Hop black male fashionista on Black Doll Collecting blog, I went in search for him. I ended up at Amazon. No, he wasn't there, but I got sucked into buying a few dolls. A couple of the newest fashionistas were marked at $4.98. I really tried hard not to buy, but I just couldn't do it. I didn't buy all the ones I saw at $4.98, but it was hard.
I did buy the new curvy Asian doll. She was $4.98. By the way, the production doll has two straight arms, which I am very happy about.
I also bought this set because it was marked at $9.74. It's normally $19.99.
This is the new cupcake Barbie and they had her marked at $5.00. Normally $9.99. I can use that outfit. Those are standard issued chef pants.
I needed another purchase to get the free shipping, and I chose the eye doctor set which was a little on sale for $16.90. Amazingly enough, the dolls arrived here in less than 2 days. I'm still on the hunt for the Hip Hop male fashionista.
Bravo to Mattel for bringing such diversity to the fashionista line. I'm so glad they are moving full force ahead with the diverse Fashionista line. Adding clothes was a critical piece, and it looks like they are figuring that out, too.
That Asian doll is so pretty! My sis (who never buys Barbie new) couldn't walk past her and wound up with her in the cart! Our store finally got a bunch of Sparkle Girlz in and I went a little crazy. They really do keep stepping up their game!
ReplyDeleteErin - That Asian doll immediately caught my eye. I think her outfit makes her stand out, too.
DeleteHi Vanessa!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I really like the new fashion packs. I've got to see if my local Wally's has them. :-)
Cindi - I found the fashion packs at the front of my Walmart in their special Christmas toy area.
DeleteSome really cute new fashions! I really like the 2 outfits for the Curvy girls. I am going to have to take a look too!
ReplyDeletePhyllis - I'm so happy to see curvy fashions. Goodness knows I didn't want to have to make my ladies any clothes.
DeleteThe new hip hop doll is available in the Walmart strore, also on the Mattel website for 9.99.
ReplyDeleteChristina - Everywhere I look, the Hip Hop doll is out of stock. He shows up on the websites, but he's not available to buy.
DeleteI agree, Sparkle Girlz have really been putting out some nice outfits this year. I picked up quite a few this month and you can't beat the price. I love the Mattel paks shown as well. I'll be on the look out for those too. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOllie's Dollies - You're welcome. I hope SG does more workout outfits. That is super cute.
DeleteWow, those are some great deals! I would not have been able to resist..:) I agree with how happy I have been with the diversity and selection of different Barbies there now are. :)
ReplyDeleteFarrah - You just can't go wrong with some of those prices. Not that I needed any more dolls.
DeleteLooks like I have to go to Walmart. Thank you for the heads up! I like all the different fashions and looks too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen theft with the Sparkle Girlz items, although the one day I went, those little cards with the outfits on them, and the box holding them, were all over the floor. Maybe someone had stolen some outfits inside all that mess. Where I really see theft at my local Walmart is the individual Barbie fashion pieces in the little bags with a cardboard back. I hate combing through the packages and seeing empty bags.
Barb - Hope you have as much luck as I did. Theft is always disheartening to see. It usually comes back to bite the people who are not the thieves.
DeleteYou made some really good purchases! I've noticed lots of theft with SG here as well. People should really be ashamed of themselves or they should watch their kids better. Hopefully, this will not ruin it for the paying customers!!!
ReplyDeleteAG Lanc - Yes, there is no reason to steal $1.97 outfits. Hopefully we are buying enough of their clothes that the margins are really good and they can keep the prices where they are. It's sad because the company provides great quality at great prices, and people still want to steal.
DeleteCongratulations on your new dolls and fashions. I've got that Fashionista, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that the same fashion sets are available for both the Curvy AND the Tall dolls.
D7ana - Thanks. Yes, I forgot to show the packaging, but they have a picture of all four different sizes in the upper right corner, and there is a check under the appropriate body type.
DeleteOoh, I want those curvy girl outfit!! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteThe SG theft must be all over. I have visited a few Walmart and the clothes are missing from the package. I hope that the cost does not go up.
Georgia Girl - I found the curvy fashion pack at the front of my Walmart in the seasonal toy section. The SG theft has gotten a lot worse lately. I never noticed it until recently. Such a shame.
DeleteI love all those outfits and dolls.Hope to see them in your stories:)
ReplyDeleteNatalia - I'm going to make a point of showing more of the items I buy. I'm really bad at buying things and just letting them sit around unused.
DeleteNice tip. I went to the site to order to get the Sweet #52 in the ice cream dress. They told me I have to order more stuff. But that's okay, it doesn't take much for me to shop.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see who you put in the chef/cupcake outfit. It's cute.
Jaye - Yes, without Prime, you have to buy more, which is why I ended up with so many dolls. But the price was right, so it was okay. I'm still trying to figure out who will be the bakery owner.
DeleteThanks for all the comments. I hope those seeking find something good deals.
ReplyDeleteSooo awesome about the Curvy and Tall girl packs! I need to get back to doll play..right now I seem to just be buying dolls and stuff for them. And now I am headed to Amazon...
ReplyDeleteDeMari - Yes, I was excited to see how they are offering the new clothes. I have to do more doll play, too. I miss some of my dolls.
DeleteWow, Amazon prices are much cheaper than the shops here. And the Asian Fashionista is lovely - I hope she becomes available here soon.
ReplyDeleteCarrickters - Amazon is interesting. Those same dolls that I got for $5 could shoot up in price without warning. That's why I got them even though I wasn't look to buy those dolls. They are cheaper than our stores, too.
DeleteAwesome purchases! I love that Sparkle workout gear. It's my first time seeing them add a different shoe type.
ReplyDeleteMuff - The workout gear is my favorite. I really hope they add more workout outfits.
DeleteIt's good to know there are decent-looking fashions available for the curvy Barbies. I will have to visit Walmart soon before the holiday rush. Sparkle Girlz never disappoints, except when I can't find certain outfits here. I hope they have the exercise set and the one-armed dress.
ReplyDeleteHope you find Hip Hoodie. My two arrived last week. Check out tomorrow's blog review.
Congrats on your Amazon purchases.
dbg
DBG - I also saw some really cute single pack curvy outfits on Amazon for about $2.50. I can't remember why I didn't get them, except that I got distracted buying dolls and forgot about the clothes. I will check out your Hip Hop doll post soon. I still can't find him, but I'm still hopeful I will get him soon.
DeleteLovely Dolls And Outfits!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite curvy doll (a dark skin nerd girl,with charmmng glasses) it's really hard to find.At least we can see many fashions for the curvy ladies,also by here...
Lovely the asian curvy!Sweet doll!!
Congrats,Friend Vanessa!! <3
Jorge - Thanks. I agree the nerdy curvy girl is hard to find. There's a new dark skinned curvy girl with blonde hair. I may add her in the future just because she is so different.
