New Spring Items At American Girl

American Girl has added some new items to the site this week. Some of the new outfits include a surf/swim outfit, a zebra striped safari dress (zebra stripes are very popular for this age group right now!), a raincoat and boots set, Easter/Spring dress, a new ice skating dress and more.

So, what are your thoughts? Which outfits/new items do you like? Which ones will be a pass?

Personally, I think the new raincoat and boots set is just the cutest thing ever!

  2. Rachely says:

    Hi guys! Haven’t been on for a long time!!!

  3. Ingrid says:

    I’m sorry for you two, Sara and Holly. A few years ago, my cousin, Adam, was killed in a drunk driver accident. He wasn’t the drunk one though, he was only sixteen. :(

  4. Ana says:

    Sara and Holly, I’m sorry for both of you.

  5. Grace says:

    Sara, Holly, Ingrid. thats sad.
    My grandpa died when my mom was 14 :(

  6. Grace says:

    Oh and Lena I get it ;)

  7. Michaela says:

    Uh, excuse me for barging in, but how did we get into a conversation about who died when? Just wondering ;)

  8. Holly says:

    Whoot whoot!!! My bday is Saturday and I’m getting the JLY with caramel hair!! :)

  9. Grace says:

    Uh, well I wasn’t here for most of it, I just threw my own idea in :P
    Clickee namee!

  10. Grace says:

    Aaagh is everyone getting the one I want??? of all things??
    JK.

  11. Ana says:

    Grace are you still on?

  12. Ana says:

    That’s cool Holly!

  13. Grace says:

    Yes Ana

  14. Ana says:

    I read the book “Lanie’s Real Adventures”. I liked it.

  15. Grace says:

    Did u read Lanies 1st book fist?
    Cool

  16. Michaela says:

    Sara, Holly, Ingrid- I’m sorry for you.

  17. Lena says:

    Grace, I don’t want 39. I still want my 25 back. Or at least a new one (since my old one’s been eyeswapped and her hair cut short by my neighbor.)

  18. Grace says:

    Lena I never asked you.
    Just a lot of people are getting her (Maya, Holly, my friend)
    How…why…(making sure not to sound accusative) did your neighbor, or you let them, do that?!

  19. Lena says:

    I sold 25 to her, and since she loves to customize, she customized.

  20. Grace says:

    why did u sell her

  21. AG&FAN says:

    hmm…I’m not a fan of one with caramel hair…but I’m totally into Lizzie,Ruthie,and Julie.
    JLY #39 comes in about seventh,eighth,or nineth.

    And I see that some of old members are gone…Or they just stopped commenting. so that’s why there’s less comments lately,I think.

  22. Michaela says:

    I would love to have a 25 with gray eyes. Her brown eyes would swap with my Ruthie, so Ruthie can have her “real” eyes. My mom just says, ” If someone we meet can do it, then I’ll let them do it. It also depends on the price. If it’s too expensive, we are NOT doing it.”

    So far, no luck finding anybody. :(

  23. Maya says:

    what do you mean her ‘real’ eyes, just out of curiosity?

  24. Maya says:

    i like the caramel haired doll because besides her, there isn’t one with that shade of brown. Nicki had it, but she’s retired.

  25. Lena says:

    Ruthie’s eyes in the book are clearly brown. AG gave the doll gray.

    Oddly, the caramel haired one (39) looks like my OC Genevieve. The character was made before the doll came out, along with her looks.

  26. Ana says:

    I wonder why AG did that to Ruthie.

  27. Ana says:

    A Spring Dress? That is awesome!

  28. Ana says:

    I have a question: Why does AG change the JLY outfit sometimes?

  29. Lena says:

    To keep it modern. They change it every 2 years to change with the modern look.

  30. AG&FAN says:

    Hmm…since every single Girl of the Year seems to have a b-day in early Feburary or January,Chrissa is 11,Mia is 12,Nicki is 13,Jess is 14,Marisol is 15,
    Kailey is 17,and Lindsey? Probably 19 or 18.
    Notice how most of the characters are teenagers by now(not that they’re real).

  31. Lena says:

    The GOTY bdays aren’t specified. But you’re right, they are mostly teens.

  32. Ana says:

    Does the raincoat set come with that book?

  33. Michaela says:

    But in Mia’s second book, she mentions that she is eleven. Would that make her twelve, or thirteen?

  34. Michaela says:

    For this year, I mean.

  35. Lena says:

    I think Mia’s 12 now and turning 13 this year.

  36. Grace says:

    What’s OC?
    And why didn’t they change the JLY outfit this year? Well, I have a Nov. 08 catalougue and it said the Star Hoodie was new. So maybe this November it’ll change.
    Wow! It seems like the Star Hoodie just came! 2 years already??!

  37. Ava says:

    I don’t like the Star Hoodie outfit. It’s very boring.

  38. Grace says:

    I liked the I like your Style outfit and the 2004-2006 one.

  39. Grace says:

    Kit’s old sweater and shirt were lavender, now they’re more pink

  40. Lena says:

    Kit HATED pink. It makes no sense!!!

    Yeah, expect the meet to change this year, either in summer or fall. I only really liked the 04 one. The 06 one was way too pastel for me.

  41. AG&FAN says:

    Soo…Mia is born in 1997,same year as Nicki,and Chrissa was born in 1999!
    No girl was born in 1998,I guess. In Chrissa’s story,it mentioned that she was ten years old and is in fourth grade,so I’m sure.
    And about Mia,I thought she was eleven but I wasn’t sure because I read it like 1 year ago..
    Anyway,I really want JLY meet outfit to be great for mix and match. I mean really?
    So many girls wear dresses? They wear mix and match outfits,don’t they?

    I think it will be cute if they have a t-shirt(Maybe like top part of Lanie’s dress),jeans,sneakers or Converse sneakers(like Mia’s,of course),
    and something else,maybe a cardigan?

    PLUS It’ll be also cute if accessories includes a messenger bag. Yes,not cheap cell phone,and bag that doll can only use in doll’s left arm(or hand).
    I also think star hoodie outfit is not great. See that shirt inside the dress?
    It would be great if it was seperate,although it will be hard to put the dress over it.
    And I have the accessories set,and I think it’s really cheap. Cell phone can break easily(yet you can put it back easily,too).

  42. Lena says:

    Mia was born is 98, she just happen to pass her birthday between the 1st and 2nd book, I think.

    I like your idea for the JLY meet outfit. White Converse? Please?

    I really don’t like the star hoodie. I love first two sets of meets (I have 1 of them) they are GREAT for mix&match. I wish the new meets were like that too.

  43. Maya says:

    I hated the ‘I like your style’ outfit. I hated it so much that I decided not to even get a JLY that year, because i didn’t want that outfit at all! I have never seen such a tacky color combo! Also, the shirt was not a very common apparel for modern girls at the time. I’m sorry, everybody who liked it.

  44. Maya says:

    no, i think nicki was born the year before…i think (im not sure, at all, i haven’t read Mia’s books in forever) that the second book took place a year later, so she was older. I dunno, but she and nicki were born different years i think.

  45. Lena says:

    Maya,, I said the same thing as you, its just awaiting moderation.

  46. Grace says:
