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 #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?
