Minneapolis AGP: Tour and Purchases!

Hello! I'm so happy! I got some awesome new AG stuff yesterday and a job offer and I took lots of pics. No, seriously, I got a job offer, but the Employment Manager. She said she hired girls like me everyday who love American Girl and I should come back when I'm 18. Well, that gives me an excuse to move to Minnesota!
So anyways, you can see all of the pics and videos here.

Hey!

Just thought I would give you an update on what's going on right now. :-) Anyways, I can't reply to comments, use my Blogger Dashboard, or anything like that with my dad's iPhone which I'm using right now. But first I would like to say to Claire (who commented on my last post)I think what I'm getting is pretty cool too. :-) Right now, I'm in the world's busiest airport- Atlanta so it's hectic. I hope we get on the plane. I wish I had a smoothie right now- I don't know why- I just do.

I can dream can't I?

I'll be gone....

Hey! 
Unfortunately, I'll be gone for a little while on our small trip to Minnesota so I may not be as posting as often. I will take lots of pictures and videos too so you can see them when I get back. I've decided on what I'm going to get at the AG Place but you'll have to wait and see. :-) I will have a couple of timed posts too so my blog won't be boring. And look forward to a giveaway, new YouTube videos, and photos.

Jeans and Boots

Hey! I'm sorry I haven't been posting as often it's just that I haven't had anything to post about. 


Anywho, we may or may not stop at a store under the title of "American Girl" and I may or may not have gotten some 'vacation money' my parents are allowing me to spend at the American Girl Place that I may or may not go to. 
If you were able to understand any of what I just said you may have gotten that we may go to the American Girl Place in Minneapolis on a small trip to visit my relatives. I want to get an outfit but price matters to me so I'm debating what outfit I should get.


I want one with jeans and boots.
I can't seem to find an outfit with both of clothing pieces in them. So I'm stuck. I would get the Frosty Fun Outfit because my sister has the leggings but it's $28 for only 3 pieces!
So what would you recommend that get? 

Your opinion matters most,
Gabby

PS: If we go, I will definitely take photos and make a video of it!

I'm Deep, Dramatic, and Delighted.

Hi!

Yes, I am deep, dramatic, and delighted. Just look at my blogs' new look- I love it! It's so cool! I think it expresses the fun and brightness of this blog but also the secrets and my opinions of American Girl! I made the header, so please don't copy, but I think it turned out really well. 

Anyways, now for news on Kaya- well....

SHE'S HOME! I got her yesterday and as it turns out- she was never in Ft. Lauderdale- she never got on the plane! Oh, well, sorry about that- I sometimes get info wrong...oops..... Anywho- here are some pics!

She's so happy to be home- and so am I! I got her out of suitcase and dressed her in comfy PJs and her moccasins. The outfit turned out really cute! 

I think her moccasins look great with PJs and could be like Ugg Fringe boot things.... Hmm.....
I so happy happy she's home!
Also, I'm making an  AG Series for YouTube! I'm really excited but I'm not going to give anything away......
~Gabby :-)

PS Do you all like my blog's new look? Do you hate it? Leave a comment!
PSS Also please do not use my icon picture on my profile. I made it for my blog only- thanks! :-)

Where is Kaya? Ft. Lauderdale

Hi. 
Kaya is in Ft. Lauderdale- without me. Alone in my suitcase- without me. Why? I don't really know why, but all I know is that my suitcase did not arrive at the airport baggage claim and was probably still on the plane for the connecting flight to Florida. It probably happened because we were late to checking in. Here is our day "schedule". That might help explain something:
6:30 am- wake up, get ready, eat breakfast
7:30 am-  walk out to the car to go and realize that the keys are locked in the rental car
7:34 am- call local locksmith and wait an hour
8:45 am- the rental car is open, and we are on the road to the airport
9:26 am- get stuck in a huge traffic jam involving a lot of paramedics, police men, and a battered car
10:17 am- get at airport, dad goes and drops off rental car and mom and siblings rush through security to the gate (note: our plane takes-off at 10:45)
10:31 am- finally get to gate in record time
10:45- we take off
-----
5:10 pm- I am at the baggage claim looking for my suitcase.... mom thinks she saw it but it was another suitcase- not ours 
5:16 pm- My mom goes to the baggage office and talks to the people while I bring myself and siblings to our waiting neighbor to drive us home


Still no sign, message, e-mail, phone call of my suitcase with Kaya in it. 


I am so sad, if I never see my suitcase again, I think I will make the people buy me a new Kaya, not that she could ever replace my old one, but it was there fault that they don't scan the luggage tags so they could track my suitcase.


Bye for now,
~A very depressed Gabby

InnerstarU is finally working!

Hi! I'm very happy about InnerstarU as I can finally post about it and give you my review. Overall the  game was cool, I liked it and I wish there was some more games that we could play. I was only allowed access to the preview as I don't have codes but it was still very fun! 


You get to choose between 4 dolls to represent you while your there. I personally like the African American Girl and the Blond girl the best! You get to have your own room which doesn't really do anything because you can't buy anything but it's still pretty cool.


Anyways, there are Innerstar Guides which can give you projects with tasks, info about the world, and just good advice!


The shopping center is really cool, it was fun to go to the Casual Closet, the only store you allowed to go, and see all the fun outfits. However, guests aren't allowed to buy anything so all I could do was try on clothes.




The games are decent- easy but some offer a challenge. Help-Desk Hubbub was pretty boring and all you did was answer trivia questions. Body Balance, a yoga inspired game was fun but again, wasn't much of a challenge. I liked Pom-pom Power mainly because it got harder and was more of a game that offered a challenge.


Overall, I enjoyed it and I can't wait to buy Katrina Elaine Jordan (that is MAG 37s new name) and put her online! I would definitely recommend checking it out and I hope you have fun!

MAG Products that really stand out! Part 2/2



Hey! Today I am judging/reviewing outfits! I'd love to hear your opinion too- just leave a comment!








































This outfit looks really cheap- like you could buy at Wal-mart for $2. I honestly don't like this outfit although the cupcake theme is pretty cute.








































I don't play basketball but this outfit is really cute! I think that it makes sense that it has InnerstarU logos on the ball and shorts so I don't really mind it. I think it's worth the price of $30 but I because I don't play  I don't really like basketball, I highly doubt I will get this outfit.






































To, me this outfit is really cute! I haven't seen that many 8-12 year olds run track with numbers and track suits but it's a nice idea and $34- a pretty good price too.








































I don't really like this outfit. I was never a big fan of plaid and I think it goes horribly with the light blue shirt. However, I like the boots and fun purple hat!








































This is an okay look. It looks like something I would where but I don't like the small bow on the tee. But I think the graphic is super cute and I love the sweats!








































This outfit has some pretty good pieces in it, but they're just not working together. I think the sweatshirt is adorable and I'm a big fan of the shoes.








































This is a pretty cute look, but I probably wouldn't get it because I'm making my own Western outfit- but I love the hat and will probably have to get it for my own western look!


What do you like? What do you hate?

MAG Products that really stand out! Part 1/2

Hey! In this post, I'm just posting what MAG items that really stand out- that could be a good thing or a bad thing.... Anyways, I would love to hear your opinion too- just comment! In this part I will be judging dolls, furniture, and accessories.








































This doll is just adorable! I don't what it is- but I think it's her layered hair that really makes her gorgeous!






































I don't like this girl. It's her hair- it's not even red! And her online pic looks nothing like the real doll.


































This earrings are so cute! I love the idea of Birthstone Earrings! I really like the aqua pair!




































This set is kind of weird. The head-gear just bothers me for some reason. I mean I don't think dolls really need that! But I love the color of the toothbrush and the little braces are so cute!




















I don't why I actually like this item! Obviously it's way overpriced at $68 but I think it's so cute with the fake blue tiles and the little holders on the wall section!

















This set- it's just interesting. I think that it's advertising InnerstarU too much. The colors are bright and fun but the don't really go well together. However, the money is pretty cute!

This set is really cute and I love the pumpkin pie- but at the price ($24) it's not worth it. It's just paper bags, plastic food, and stickers.

Well, stay tuned for Part 2/2 where I'm judging outfits!

Updates!

Hey! This post is just full of quick updates!

1: We are on vacation so that may have something to do with the non-InnerstarU connection. We are coming back on the 21st so hopefully you will soon see some of my own pics- instead of the Internet.

2: I can't help it- I want to join InnerstarU, so my sister and I my split a Campus Guide, meaning I pay half- she pays half so we don't have to wait forever to get dolls and access.

3: Our Dream Dolls Page is open! Feel free to submit a dream doll photo anytime- the instructions are on the page.

4: I will post a post of my favorites from the new items soon- I just haven't had time with all the hiatus of vacation thrown in with bandwith on the Internet.

5: I completely agree with Queen Lucy about InnerstarU. She says, "I like that American Girl is now marketing the dolls as "Who will you create?", instead of "Just Like You". I mean, having a doll that is unique is far more interesting than having one that looks like you." I agree 100%! I think it's fun to customize dolls and I think that this new line really supports that!

So I hope you liked this quick post and look forward for longer posts with my pics!

My Dream Doll!

Hey! Although I'm still not accessing the free preview of InnerstarU I am enjoying the new doll chooser! So here is my dream doll. I used JLY 37, the new chocolate glasses, ear piercing, and the new puff-sleeved tee for dolls. I think she's adorable! 
I will name her either Katrina Claire Jordan or like Khloe Renay Jordan. What do you think? Which name is cuter? Please comment and let me know. I'd also love to see your dream doll too- you can send me a pic at iheartamericangirl@gmail.com or post about it on your blog/website. I may create a gallery of these "dream dolls"!

Anyone else having this problem?

Hey! I'm having a bit of a problem with the InnertstarU Preview. I have tried for the past half-hour to play the free games but my mouse doesn't click it properly. I have tried everything- from changing browsers to changing my screen resolution and nothing seems to work. I was wondering if anybody else had this problem because then I maybe some others could give me some tips! I really want to play the free preview just to see what it's like so I'm not wasting my money buying my way in. I'd really appreciate if ya'll could tell what I could try!

Thanks so much,
Gabby

PS: I may add to this post later with other news.....

InnnerstarU and MAG

Hey! I am super excited about this post because I'm showing ya'll all the new things! If you read my post yesterday, you know that I cast a gloomy shadow on InnerstarU and I still have mixed feelings about it but I think that I'm getting used to it and it does sound fun. I think I'm going to wait and buy myself a doll instead instead of the campus guide because it will feel like I've earne d it I buy something nice with my own money. Anyways- back to the new stuff! First, take a look at the new meet outfit and fun doll chooser thingy!


Then here are the 4 free games you can play from Innerstar U, the online virtual world that AG is only allowing people with a campus guide or a brand new MAG to use, there fore excluding me and about %99.99* of girls. Anyways, I haven't played nay of the free games yet but I can't wait to get home from camp and play them!
They also have a intro video which explains a lot and honestly, I can't wait to buy a MAG and put her online! I know I seem a lot different from yesterday but it is really cool.


And now for the new MAG stuff! Here are some of my favorite items:



Have you noticed that my posts are getting longer? I'm proud of that because I really like have nice, long, juicy posts that my 37 amazing followers and readers can look forward too!


Anyways, enjoy the new AG! Yes, and I mean NEW! Things have changed, oh man, things have changed.
