Barbie Collector 2015 Holiday Doll

I remember fawning over every new Barbie Collector doll
that was showcased in catalogs with my mom~
The Holiday doll for this year is gorgeous!!
You know, connecting those two thoughts,
this Barbie doll actually looks kind of like my mom. c:

Barbie Spin ‘N Ride Pups Doll, Bike, and Puppies!

An ooooold Barbie doll that I owned that included a bike
that she could ride was my absolute favorite doll!!
The puppy theme in many recent sets are because of the latest CG Barbie movie,
Barbie and the Great Puppy Adventure.

–

Barbie Glam Convertible

That is a SWEET RIDE!!
The flecks of glitter worked into the pink paint job are my favorite part.
Heck, *I* want this car – can you imagine cruising down the highway in this??

–

Barbie Pop-Up Camper Vehicle Playset

More puppies!!
But more importantly, this set has a ton of little details
for you to get lost in~
Playsets like this that include a ton of small accessories
are among the most fun things to set up~

–

Barbie Dreamhouse Dollhouse Playset

Holy smokes, that is a huge dreamhouse!!
Look at that – it even has a garage for the convertible!! :O
That canopy over the bed is rad, and I’m always entranced
by the elevators all of these dreamhouses come equipped with.

A couple of days ago I covered a few clothing items from the designer Jem & the Holograms collection on ShopBop – today I’ll be covering these awesome colorful jewelry and accessories!

Jem and the Holograms Noir Jewelry Star Earrings

Jem’s signature “It’s Showtime, Synergy!” earrings,
made over with deep pink rhinestones!
As of the time of me writing this blog post,
there is a warning on the page for these that there is only 1 pair left!!
Grab them if you want them!

Jem and the Holograms Venessa Arizaga Rising Star Necklace and Bracelet

Ahhhh I love the chunky, colorful star charms on this!!
You’d be all jingly-jangly everywhere you go~
But the fun and funky colors are the best part of these accessories.

–

Jem and the Holograms Noir Jewelry Triple Strand Necklace

A really classy, gold necklace studded with stars and rhinestones!!
This is pretty enough for fancier outfits,
but fun enough to look awesome with a casual outfit –
imagine this chain necklace over a slouchy top!

–

Jem and the Holograms Venessa Arizaga Glitter Necklace

King of similar to the colorful star necklace above,
but the black and gold coloration of this one make it cooler and classier!

–

Jem and the Holograms EF Collection Zigzag Ear Crawler

I thought that this was a funky hair clip, but it’s actually an earring!
It looks awesome zig-zagging up your ear lobe!
Zig-zags are one of those memorable trademark 80’s types of designs,
which fairy-kei is all about, but this modern upgrade makes it workable for anything!

Old episodes of Jem & The Holograms are among my favorite thing to have playing while I’m sewing or working, they’re just so fantastic and all of the colors and fashions are incredibly bright and fun!  The characters all have BIG, COLORFUL HAIR and vibrant makeup, so of course it is among my favorite things lol!!

A designer collection of Jem & The Holograms clothing and accessories is available from designer boutique ShopBop – today I’ll be featuring a handful of the cool t-shirts that they have!

Jem and the Holograms Wildfox Dance Club Magic Tee

The faded pastel colors of this one make it especially retro
and befitting of Jem’s aesthetic!!  Probably the most fairy-kei workable item
in today’s roundup~

–

Jem and the Holograms Wildfox Showtime Tank

Okay, this is the other cute pastel item today~
I like this one because it shows both Jerrica and Jem,
and that Jem’s awesome pink hair is drawn so detailed and curly!!

–

Jem and the Holograms Wildfox Misfits Oversized Sweatshirt

If you like the Misfits and think their songs are better,
perhaps you would be a bigger fan of this big, comfy sweater!

–

Jem and the Holograms Wildfox Glamour Glitter Fashion & Fame Sweatshirt

A simpler design that simply states the cartoon’s tagline.
Kind of a stylish, subtle, artsy way to wear the fact that you are a fan.

–

Jem and the Holograms YARNZ Cashmere Scarf

There are better pictures of this on the linked page exampling how this looks worn as a scarf –
I just picked this pic as it shows the design the most clearly!
Honestly I would wear a funky design like this as an allover print on a t-shirt.

–

Jem and the Holograms Tamara Mellon Leather Fringe Skirt

This is so funky!!  Imagine walking while wearing this
and all of the fringe swaying – how cool!!
This is one of those examples of how my mind gets blown
seeing how much people are willing to spend on designer labels…
The price of this skirt is beyond anything I could imagine spending on myself… oAo
