My Dolly Week #19: Changing your outlook & revealing why next week is going to be special!

Welcome to another week full of dolly ramblings! We have made it to July and gosh, there was a lot going on last week! In my personal collection, but also announcement wise!

My rechipped Pullip LupinusCan you immediately spot, what has changed about Miss Luise?! If you follow me on Instagram, you will have already seen that I changed her eyechips. You can see her original eyechips in the review I wrote and I still like them, but taking her out of her stock clothes and trying to give her a different look, never quite satisfied me. Along came María‘s recommendation to take the plunge and change her eyechips. I was super nervous, all my screwdrivers were too thick and I was swearing like a sailor. It is my plan to make a post for eyechip changing for beginners, so not everybody will be as uneasy as me. My goal is to really get into each detail because I was at the end of my nerves. 😀 You might have guessed that lack of patience is my biggest flaw. I swear, I am getting better at it! 😉

Detail of Pullip Luise's new eyechips!Lu is now wearing pretty golden brown eyechips from Chewy Rabbit and isn’t she super cute?! Finally her nice metallic eyeliner is not competing with her eyes anymore. There is also a new wig coming in for her and some other girls. Leeke World had a sale and because I am such a rookie, I have no idea, if I got a decent deal or not (it looked like one and I am happy). 😀 But hopefully those will be all the wigs I need for a while. Also I need to write up some reviews first, before some girls get a new style!

My Ruri from Poison GirlMore big news! I should probably wait until the end, but I am impatient! 😉 A special girl is going to join Ruri and her sisters soon! I will make sure to let you all know immediately because my happiness is going through the roof! Some tears were shed today and my heart was instantly lost! <3 Continue reading My Dolly Week #19: Changing your outlook & revealing why next week is going to be special!

My Dolly Week #16: My Dolls are S-P-O-I-L-E-D!

Ruri with a fluffy beret!Ruri in a fancy French inspired outfit!Welcome everybody! Last week I had a really good dolly week! I focused mainly on new outfits for my lovelies that I shared on my Instagram. It really helps me unwind to get somebody a new look and to combine different components of unused stock pieces. My most favorite photograph of last week is this one from Ruri. It was inspired by this lovely beret from It’s MY Caprice that really made my heart jump due to its prettiness. To give her an exuberant French style, I rediscovered Pullip Clara’s fancy dress and Myra’s light pink faux-fur cape. Her socks are the ones she arrived in and I rarely change her out of them, since they have the most perfect mauve color. Since she is on an obitsu body, her feet are a little bigger than Pullip’s type 4 body and most of my shoes unfortunately don’t fit her. I am still waiting for her new shoes and will buy a bunch of obitsu shoes in Japan, but for now she is happy in these Hello Cool Cat shoes, which are a favorite of mine. They come in a lot of different colors and are out of very nice quality!

Chloi is ready for summer!Another new outfit came for my Pullip Chloi. It also is from It’s MY Caprice and not only do I love all the beads, sequins and beautiful turquoise fabric, its name Ariel only managed to draw me in further. I mentioned how much I am looking forward to going back to Tokyo Disney Sea and my favorite spot there is the Mermaid Lagoon at night! Together with her fitting flower crown, she perfectly embodies the warmer seasons for me. Wouldn’t Summer also be a beautiful name for her?

My Dolly Week #15: Tired, but optimistic!

Welcome to my 15th post of My Dolly Week! Last week was pretty busy and still I get the feeling that I did not get enough done. I got to meet my best friends and celebrated the seventh anniversary with my fiancé. I am pretty tired and the heat outside is not exactly helping, so this is going to be a pretty rambly post!

Pullip KühnFrom a dolly perspective, I was mostly thankful for all the beautiful dolls I have collected so far. A very special doll is Pullip Kühn. I still have to write up a review about her and so I colorfasted her stock and displayed her in it since then. Although her stock outfit is unique, original and high quality, there is just so much more to her beautiful face and dark brown wig. Changing things up is fun and this especially applies to the doll hobby. I feel that keeping dolls in their stock and admiring them is fine, but now that I actually interact more with my collection to find out, what suits each girl individually, it is much more fulfilling!

Pullip Ruri from Poison GirlIt is still surreal for me to see Ruri in my collection. She makes me so happy and last week she got her first sets of clothes. I am so looking forward to her pair of shoes and hope they will fit her feet. 😀 I will keep you updated, when everything is here in form of a big photo shoot. It’s going to be a lot of fun!

When it comes to using my lightbox, I am still ambivalent. The lighting is great, but I am struggling a bit with the way the backgrounds look. It feels like everythings needs more character. It would be super helpful to get some feedback; what do you guys think of the picture of Elodie above?! Continue reading My Dolly Week #15: Tired, but optimistic!

My Dolly Week #14: Ruri!

Ruri from Poison Girl and Pullip Alice du Jardin Mint Ver.Nothing will overshadow Ruri from Poison Girl this week, even though she only arrived on Friday! I am so happy and she made me see the prior couple of days on a lighter note. There were some struggles with my health, but even though it is something I will have to deal with a little longer, I never lose faith in the belief that everything is going to be okay! If you are in a similar situation, trust my words, work the hardest you can and do your best! It will be fine and you will be too! In my head this is also what Alice is telling Ruri. I really wanted to take a picture of my first stock and my first custom Pullip. Who would be better than Alice to tell Ruri about this new home of hers?! And if you are wondering: Ruri borrowed from Elise’s stock outfit because Elise (Classical Alice) is sporting a new look, which I will share soon. Now Ruri is wearing her familiar clothes again to settle in and hopefully her outfits will arrive next week. (I need to stop fan-girling right now; otherwise I will never finish this post! ><) I love my dollies so much! 😀 Continue reading My Dolly Week #14: Ruri!

My Ruri by Poison Girl’s Dolls is home!

Ruri from Poison GirlToday everything fell in place: I had a day off and my first ever custom Pullip arrived: Ruri from Poison Girl! 😀 I am so over the moon, I cannot believe it! Everything about her is absolutely darling and she has not left my side since she has arrived.

Ruri by Poison GirlNot only is she beautiful on her own, but she also fits so nicely into my collection! I was hoping to find the perfect girl with a pink theme and well, María is simply the best. I am also extremely happy that the clothes she chose for Ruri have a pink and white theme. Since I am a newbie to customs and customizing, all my stock dolls still have their stock bodies. Ruri has an obitsu because I love the way you can pose them. It is a whole new world for me! I am not in constant fear of breaking her body, when I simply want to sit her down (no noises from the hip area, thank God). Also, I need to get her different sets of hands, so she will be even more expressive!

Ruri's EyelidsRuri’s eyechips are a beautiful realistic looking blue and her lids are polka dotted cuteness with super long lashes! Her brows are one of Poison Girl’s signature looks and give her this über cute expression. I want to hug her all of the time! The face-up in general is so precise and melts into her fair skin tone like a dream. Her blushing reminds me a lot of a certain Japanese make-up style, where you apply blusher directly under your eyes and stop right at the apples of the cheeks. It is so beautiful with the tiniest freckles. The blushing is continued on her nose with more freckles and the carving of her nose is darling. And who can resist those big pouty reddish pink lips?! I can’t! Again, such precise work of a true artist!

Ruri by Poison GirlI am really looking forward to taking lots and lots of pictures since she is so photogenic! Of course I also got ahead of myself and ordered Ruri two different sets of outfits and a pair of super cute shoes. I cannot wait to share them all with you and I have lots of fun stuff planned. A little hint: When I first saw María’s pictures, she reminded me of a little pink mushroom and by chance there was basically the most perfect outfit on Etsy. 😉 I will link to Marías pictures, when she releases them on her website (they are so good!). Now Ruri and I are going to play some more for a while!

Thank you so much for reading! What are your favorite things about custom dolls?
