The new Barbie fashion packs are AMAZING....
Much better quality than the past few years for playline clothes. And really cute styles! Here are some mix and match examples... The first pic features a shirt and vest from 2 of the new fashion packs. The bottom pic features shirt, skirt, necklace and shoes taken from several of the packs. Lots of fun to mix up the pieces and create new fashions :o)

DG Electro Pop Sooki and Rufus Blue...
... in Barbie "Day Look" fashions. I picked this fashion pack up today at Target and it's truly adorable. Very cute dresses... I love the colors! And the quality isn't awful. Bravo, Mattel!

New Fashions!
I picked up a few of the "Day Look" fashion packs from Mattel and I must say they are really cute. The quality of Barbie play line clothes hasn't been that great in the past several years, so it was nice to see an improvement in these. The shoes are adorable too.

Oh Aria…
Picked up this adorable outfit for Aria today at Tuesday Morning. It was listed as being for a Madame Alexander "Coquette" doll (which is apparently 10")... but it fits Aria perfectly!

Signal Boost!!!
Just a heads' up! I read on someone's site that the Tuesday Morning stores here in the US have J Dolls by Groove in stock for $19.99. If you are near a Tuesday Morning and collect these awesome dolls, you should absolutely go check it out. I went to the one near me and, unfortunately, they didn't have any (although I suspect they did at some point because they had another doll by Groove in stock)....
BUT... they did have some really great fashion packs by Only Hearts Club, as well as the couch from that line. The Only Hearts Club fashions fit Howleen really well... so I picked up 3 of the fashions and a cute couch for a colorful Monster High living room. Tuesday Morning is a fantastic place to find these treasures at greatly reduced prices so if there is one near you, check them out from time to time!

Howleen - Clothing Options
One of the biggest requests I would have for Mattel right now is to create fashion packs for Howleen and Nefera. I think it's an absolute travesty this hasn't been done yet. I love Howleen. She is one of my favorite MH dolls. So I am constantly trying to re-invent her and find new and interesting clothing for her. I thought I would share the brands I have found so far that fit her extremely well - with pictures coming soon.
- Only Hearts Club: (drawback - the fashions are expensive, but very well-made. Some of the shoes even fit Howleen. And she looks ADORABLE in the outfits.)
- Juku Couture: As discussed below, I picked up one of these dolls the other day via Amazon.com and immediately stripped her and put her clothes on one of my Howleen dolls. They fit perfectly. The shoes? Not so much. Which is sad because they are so cute. These dolls are out of production as well so the clothes are overpriced. But not too badly if you really comb Amazon.com. I will note that the clothes that come on the dolls themselves are apparently of better quality than the fashion packs (based on the reviews I read on Amazon.)
If you know of other doll clothing that fit Howleen (or Nefera!), please let me know. I will get back to you on J-doll fashions. I'm going to be trying those next!!!

Fashion Avenue
The preceding photos of Sookie feature her wearing Fashion Avenue Barbie clothes I purchased from Ebay. And what a deal... The Fashion Avenue line of Barbie clothes are my absolute favorite. I don't think Barbie/Mattel has produced a better-made, more versatile line of clothing since. And the clothes fit my DG dolls PERFECTLY.
Come on, Mattel... start making beautiful, well-made fashions again! The Fashion Avenue designs were also reasonably priced which also makes them really desirable. Not all of us can afford to buy clothes from Integrity or other high-quality makers!!!
