Review: Cross Charm Boots (Mini)

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

In the recent parcel I received a pair of the Black and the White Cross Charm Boots in the Mini size.

Not having any Mini dolls in residence I can’t give you a personal account of the fit, but their new owner was very pleased with them and let me know they did fit her dolls.

These boots surprised me because they weren’t quite what I was expecting, somehow in the original pics I hadn’t noticed that the decorative lacing does actually hold most of the boot together.

The insert section in the front is actually seperate. Which is really interesting in person.

The Charm on the front is super shiny (definitely a plus in my book!).

They are great looking boots and are really visually appealing I’m looking forward to getting a pair in Super sized for my dolls.

Tracking and Updates!

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

We have tracking for the 13th June parcel. The next order will be going in at the end of the month.

You may have noticed links to the clothing appearing across the site, hopefully I’ll have that all done soon.

Today I’m working on identifying the dolls pictured.

If you see a doll you recognise in the clothing sections and it doesn’t say who they are (or it does and you believe that to be wrong) please contact me :)

A new review will be up soon!

Review: Short Cowboy Boots (Tall)

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

  A lot of great shoes arrived here the other day, a had a few hours to play with them before shipping them on. I checked them all, took some pics, compared them to my dolls feet and weighed them.

I don’t have many types of doll here but I thought I’d start a new feature of reviewing the items that arrive, letting you know what I thought of them and which dolls of mine they fit. I don’t have a great variety of dolls but I hope my observations are helpful. Please feel free to add a comment to this post if you bought this item and have something to add.

Today I’ll be reviewing the Short Cowboy Boots for the Tall boys such as Dollshe etc.

 

I have to admit, I did love these boots from the initial pics so I was thrilled someone ordered them, glad that I could get a closer look.

I also have to say upfront I don’t have any Dollshe boys, nor anyone in that bracket, but I do have a DOD Camine. Camine’s feet are only 7.5cm long, but at their widest point they are almost 3.5cms making it interesting to find him well fitted shoes. After measuring them near his foot I was game to try them on, they fit beautifully and he’s definitely getting a pair of these for himself.

Poor Alistair has been here two years and these will be his first shoes! (I’m such a bad Mummy.)

 

 

Anyway enough about me! These shoes are gorgeous! My pics aren’t the best (click the thumbnails to see them larger) but you can totally see all the details that go into these boots.

The toes are capped in a patent faux leather so they are super shiny. The main section is a textured faux leather for more of a suede look. There are 3 pin tucks running across the front and this section is edged with a frayed cotton detail.

The ankle section is from a smooth faux leather belted with two straps that do up with gold tone buckles. Beneath these are two decorative gold tone zips. The gold really pops against the black and makes a definite statement.

These boots aren’t for your tame boys. These boots were made to be shown off!

If you’ve been thinking of these boots, you won’t be disappointed, they are fabulously lux!

Tracking

Monday, June 8th, 2009

I have tracking numbers on the previous order (30th May), and expect the order to arrive late this week, or Monday if there’s a delay.

I have added most of the clothes but haven’t set up all the links for them to be viewed yet, I’ll need to identify the dolls in the pictures to be able to give you a better idea of fit.

My email will be down until tomorrow but I can check messages by webmail. If you have emailed me I will contact you soon.
