2017 Spring Clothing Line has arrived!

2017-KinzStyle-Spring-Clothing

I am very excited to announce the arrival of the 2017 Spring Clothing Line in the Kinzstyle Shop! I hope you stocked up on your favorite items from the 2016 Fall Clothing Line because it was retired earlier this week.

I am absolutely thrilled with the spring clothing collection PJ Collie has put together for us. 🙂 The pieces all mix and match so well, and the main colors – pale blue and mint green – are just perfect for spring. In addition to several pieces of clothing, there are a couple of pairs of shoes and some really fun (and cute!) accessories. You’re going to love putting together spring celebration outfits for your pets!

You can find all 12 of the pieces of the 2017 Spring Clothing Line in the “new” section at the Kinzstyle Outlet:

Now it’s time to see how these items look on some Webkinz pets! I hope that these outfits I put together will help you decide which pieces from the 2017 Spring Clothing Line you want most. Or maybe you want all 12 pieces!

First up is my Blue Persian Kitten named Audrey – I wanted to showcase my two absolute favorite items from the 2017 Spring Clothing Line: the Floral Headband and the Lovely Spring Sunglasses:

blue bird dress

I paired these adorable accessories with a Bluebird Dress (a clothing item that was available in the 2016 Summer Mystery Clothing Bag). I absolutely love the way the little yellow details in the flowers match the yellow ribbon on the dress.

Now let’s take a look at a couple of the items that are only available to Deluxe members – the Light Green Slacks and the matching Springy Vest:

luna in suit

This outfit is being modeled by Luna, my Moon Fox. The top is called a Springy Vest, but it’s actually a vest over top of a blue button down shirt. I’ve added the Lovely Spring Glasses to the look because I think the green of the frames match perfectly with the color of the pants and vest. Overall, I just think this is a really hip and cool look.

Here’s a look at my Grumpy Cat modeling the Springtime Trench:

springtime trench

The Springtime Trench costs 450 kinzcash, making it the most expensive item in the whole collection. The Springtime Trench is the only piece in the 2017 Spring Clothing Line that features the color pink. Pink is one of my favorite colors, so I’m loving the flowers on this trench coat and the matching pink belt.

To play up the pink in the Springtime Trench, I paired it with a pair of Designer High Heels, which are a prize you can buy at the Spree Mall. (Get to the Spree Mall even faster when you purchase bonus turns at the Ganz eStore!)

Now we’ll take a look at my Black Panther Muerta modeling a fresh look for a warm spring day:

skirt and shoes

The Pretty Bow Flats are another one of my favorite items in this line. They’re very versatile, and I am sure I’ll be pairing them up with lots of different outfits from all sorts of collections. To keep the look light and airy, I paired up the Lightly Layered Skirt with the Basic White Tank Top (a piece from the “PJ Collie gets back to basics” collection). I love the swirling designs on the Lightly Layered Skirt and the wide range of blues. Of course I had to add the Floral Headband for an extra girlie touch!

So speaking of many shades of blue, let’s take a look at the Spring Gradient Tee:

gradient tee

The Spring Gradient Tee is being modeled here by Sadie, my mocha pup. I decided to give Sadie an outdoorsy look, like she’s ready to go on a nice spring hike. Besides just being pretty, I like the Spring Gradient Tee because of the little details, like the collar and the button on the front. The sleeves are puffed, so you could use this shirt to create a much dressier outfit if you wanted to.

The shorts are Cuff Chinos, which were a prize in the August Deluxe Gift Box. I also added some Blue Camo Sneakers so Sadie can play outdoors and enjoy the beautiful spring weather. 🙂 The Blue Camo Sneakers came in the June Deluxe Gift Box. If you’re into collecting clothes like I am, then you’ll love the monthly Deluxe Gift Boxes. Each one features a special piece of clothing you can’t get anywhere else. In fact, they’re so exclusive that you can’t even buy them in the eStore!

If you find yourself jumping through mud puddles after a spring shower, then you’ll want a pair of the Blue Gumboots:

gumboots

I decided to have my Black Panther model the Blue Gumboots by themselves so you can see all of the great details. For instance, I really like the strap with the gold buckle at the top. As you can see, the soles are very rugged, which is a bit different than the way the boots are pictured in the Kinzstyle Outlet. These Blue Gumboots would look really cute with the rain jacket and hat you can win in the 2017 Spring Mystery Clothing Bags.

Muerta is going to model for us one last time:

paisley hat and shorts

I brought back the Basic White Tank Top to put together the Dark Blue Paisley Shorts and the Paisley Newsboy. (The Paisley Newsboy is only available to Deluxe members.) These shorts and this hat are obviously a perfect match, but each piece individually is also great. A lot of attention to detail went into creating this paisley pattern. With all these shades of blue, I bet the Dark Blue Paisley Shorts would look good with the Spring Gradient Tee as well. I finished off the look with the Pretty Bow Flats because I love how fresh and clean the white accessories make the outfit feel.

Last but certainly not least, we’ve got Taffy, my Ribbon Yorkie, modeling the Cinched Sweater:

cinched sweater

The Cinched Sweater costs 400 kinzcash, making it the second most expensive item in the collection. I love the striped/swirly belt that “cinches” the waist of the sweater, and the fluffy cuffs and matching fluffy hem make this sweater feel more dressy than the other very casual items in the 2017 Spring Line. I mixed and matched a lot with Taffy’s outfit, combining the Plain Black Skirt with some very dressy Pearl Sandals (sometimes available at the Ganz eStore). Once again, the Floral Headband is a perfect match. I really love how these greens and blues coordinate – these colors make it so easy to put together great outfits!

Well, that’s the whole 2017 Spring Clothing Line! 🙂 What’s your favorite item? Which items are you planning to buy? Let me know in the comments, and I’ll send you an item from the 2017 spring collection via Kinzpost!

Pet of the Month: Goodies and Exclusives

potm

Recently Ganz changed the way they award Pet of the Month exclusives. In the past, your exclusive was awarded randomly. Now, you get to pick which item you want when you adopt your Pet of the Month (POTM).

This October, the Webkinz POTM is the Black Panther. I mentioned the other day that I was really lucky and won a Black Panther from a room design contest on Webkinz Newz.

Adopting a new Webkinz pet is always fun, but it was even more fun to adopt a POTM, especially now that you can pick your own exclusive gift out of the whole POTM exclusives collection.

potm_prize_box

By my count, there are more than 30 exclusive items you can choose from when you adopt a Pet of the Month. I have a few of them, including the Bouncy Bed Trampoline, Lurking Lagoon, Magic Genie Lamp, Crystal Sea Glass Flooring and the Kinzville Cuckoo Clock. This time I chose the Carnival Carousel.

I put the carousel in my outdoor carnival room, and I think it’s a really neat addition. I love that it’s animated AND plays music! I do wish your pet could ride on it, though – that would make it even more awesome!

The exclusive items are all fantastic, but I don’t want to forget about the rest of the fun extras you get when you adopt a Pet of the Month, including 5 bonus Spree rolls, a Wish Token, a WShop coupon and a coin worth 500 kinzcash.

potm-club

If you love having the POTM each month, then you can join the Pet of the Month Club through the Ganz eStore and have the POTM plush delivered to your door each month!

Autumn Adventure: Black Panther Room Design Contest

I have some exciting news to share! I was one of five winners selected in this month’s Webkinz Newz room design contest.

black-panther-contest

We were challenged to create a room where the Black Panther (October’s Pet of the Month) could go on an awesome autumn adventure. I designed an outdoor room called the “Golden Apple Orchard.”

As one of the five winners, I recieved a code for a virtual Black Panther. I adopted my Black Panther this morning, and I named her Muerta.

The Black Chic Couch is the Black Panther’s “pet specific item,” also known as the “PSI.”

Here’s Muerta in the Pink Petal Gown that’s currently available at the Ganz eStore. I think it’s so pretty! You can also buy the Sparkling Tiara at the Ganz eStore.
