Isabelle's Backyard Photo Shoot

Hi dollies!

It feels like summer here! 

I felt like making a photo shoot with Isabelle, because she looks so cute!

Enjoy.

I love hydrangea's! What's your favorite flower?

Isabelle is wearing the retired AG Sea Breeze outfit. It's by far my favorite doll outfit I own.

I matched her romper with a navy bow and some navy flats.

Isabelle: "These flowers smell amazing… And they're so soft!"

Isabelle looks so happy in this picture! I love how her green eyes match with the blue.

Isabelle: "Time to relax and hear the birdies sing. I love nature!"

"I can smell the hydrangea from here! Awesome."

What's your favorite picture of this post? Tell me in the comments :)

7. What would you buy with a $500 AG gift card?
Julie’s car, a MAG doll and some clothes.

When I was nine years old, I was looking for new AG clothes and I found Liz' website. I loved to see her photostories, hairstyles, DIY’s and much more! Two years later I decided to make a blog myself, because I had tons of great ideas to show on my blog. That’s how I started blogging at Pretty Lilly AG.

Bows, bows & more bows!

Hi dollies!

If you look at us,  we all have one thing in common … We wear a LOT of bows!

But everybody love bows, right? It's the perfect accessory to match your hair with your outfit and there are tons of different colors, patterns and fabrics!

It doesn't matter is you have short or long hair to wear a bow.

A bow looks cute in curly hair… But also in straight hair!

Bows look pretty on blondes and brunettes!

It also doesn't matter if you wear glasses or not. A bow always looks great!

You got to love bows, right?

What is your favorite hair accessory for your dollies? Tell me in the comments down below!

Lots of love,

Review Floral Swim Outfit

Hi Dollies!

I love American Girl bathing suits. They're so bright and colorful! 

Here is a review of the new AG bathing suit: Floral Swim Outfit.

It contains:
- a two-piece swimsuit with a bright floral pattern
- a cute pink cover-up
- pink flip-flops

Kenna wears the swimsuit. It looks great on her!
BTW, don't you think her eyes are SO blue in this pic?!

The swim top has a cute ruffled detail.

And the AG logo is on the swim bottoms.

Isabelle is wearing the cover-up/swim dress.

Isabelle: "I personally LOVE flip-flops. These ones are too cute, because the bright pink matches every summer outfit."

There are some flowers on the right side of the dress …

… and the AG logo is on the left side of the dress!

I totally recommend this set, because the quality of the fabrics is amazing and the whole outfit is so colorful! What I also like about this set, is that it actually contains 2 outfits! ♡

This picture of Isabelle is the most beautiful I've ever taken! It's so close up and the colors are so bright!

What's your favorite doll swim suit? I would love to hear it :)

XOXO,
Pretty Lilly - an American Girl

Lilly's Monthly Advice - May

Hi Happy People,

From now on I am going to try to post some monthly advice for you and dollies!

Let's start with Saige's advice. 

After all those hard finals and tests, you need to relax with a Spa Day!

Saige is wearing a retired bath wrap from American Girl. I love the lavender blue color!

Saige is wearing some plush slippers from Bitty Baby. They're retired and they barely fit, but they look too cute!

Saige: "There are a lot of bubbles in my bathtub! This is so relaxing."

Saige: "I always want to make myself look my best, so I am experimenting with my new make-up!"

Saige also loves to read AG books, like her own story Saige, Meet Caroline or Very funny, Elizabeth!

But reading the AG magazine is also a lot of fun.

Go check out your favorite doll Instagram account, like @Prettylillyanamericangirl and watch your favorite AG-tube videos on the Youtube account of Pretty Lilly AG!

Don't forget to eat a delicious treat! Some strawberries or some strawberry ice-cream?

What do you do when you are relaxing? Comment down below :)

Lots of love,

Happy Mother's Day

Hi Dollies,

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope you have an amazing day with your Mom :)

This is how Rory planned it.

STEP 1: Flowers! Every Mom loves flowers. Rory bought some red, pink and white roses.

STEP 2: Surprise her with a delicious breakfast! This dollie-sized breakfast is the AG breakfast set. I totally recommend this set for every day use. Rory made some pancakes with strawberries on the side, some yogurt parfait, some cinnamon rolls and some orange juice. ENJOY!

STEP 3: A present! I personally think handmade gifts are the best. If you don't have any inspiration, scroll down for a DIY.

Rory: "Hi Mom! Happy Mother's Day. I hope you have a fabulous day!"

Look, it's Mamma Mia! Do you get it? It's Mia and she's Mom, hihi :)
Mom: "Oh honey! Thanks for the flowers and the delicious breakfast and … is that what I think it is? A PRESENT?!"

Rory: "Yes Mom, a present!"
You can make a few pages in the quote book yourself and you can make the rest with your Mom! On the next Mother's Day you can read all the quotes together.

Again, I hope everyone has a great day!

What did you give your Mom for Mother's Day? Tell me in the comments.

Lots of love,
