Fashion Show! 2017 Summer Clothing Line

The 2017 Summer Clothing Line arrived at the Kinzstyle Outlet a couple of weeks ago, and I’m ready to take a look at what PJ Collie has delivered for this season!

There are 12 pieces in the 2017 Summer Clothing Line. They range in price from 220 kinzcash to 485 kinzcash. Of the 12 pieces, 4 of them are Deluxe only. (The picture below shows which items are Deluxe only – look for the gold star). This season the clothing line is more about creating entire outfits, whereas the 2017 Spring Clothing Line was more of a mix-and-match collection.

Let’s talk about prices:

1. Beachy Bucket Hat: 250 (Deluxe)
2. Boy Beach Tee: 220
3. Breezy Summer Dress: 485
4. Dressy Athletic Pants: 325
5. Dressy Sandals: 255 (Deluxe)
6. Dressy Tank: 285
7. Neon Kicks:  275
8. Patterned Yoga Pants: 385
9. Patterned Yoga Top: 330 (Deluxe)
10. Sunflower Swimsuit: 400
11. Sunny Sunglasses: 230 (Deluxe)
12. Sunrise Swim Trunks: 310

If you want to buy all 12 pieces in the 2017 Summer Clothing line, it will cost you 3,750 kinzcash.

Now that we’ve dug into the details, let’s move onto the fashion!

I tried something new, and I hope you like it! I designed and built a “Fashion Show” room, complete with a runway, cameras and a dressing room.

Now you can watch a “live” fashion show and see how these clothes will really look on your pet.

It’s no surprise that the Patterned Yoga Pants and Top coordinate perfectly. After all, they have the same name! The two pieces are black with brightly colored stripes. The collar of the top is trimmed in yellow, which I think is a nice details. The Neon Kicks also match with the yoga outfit:

Here is Audrey, my Blue Persian Kitten, strutting her stuff on the runway in the yoga outfit:

Next up is another complete outfit – the “dressy” athletic suit, with pants, a tank top and sandals! Socks with sandals is a bit silly, but hey, Webkinz is all about having fun, right? The teal green color is  pretty, and this outfit really looks comfy.

I like how you can tell that the sandals have adjustable velcro straps. It’s a detail that brings the outfit to life:

So, here is Princess, my Charcoal Cat, walking the runway in this outfit that’s both dressy and atheletic!

It wouldn’t be summer without a trip to the beach! The 2017 Summer Clothing Line has two swimwear pieces – a pair of trunks and a one piece swimsuit. We’ll check out the Sunrise Swim Trunks first.

I paired the swim trunks with the Boy Beach Tee because I think the light blue/turquoise colors match really well. I also added the Beachy Bucket Hat to keep the sun out of Biscuit’s eyes while he’s catching a wave:

Let’s take a look at Biscuit, my Golden Retriever, as he walks the runway in his beach gear:

The other piece of swimwear is the Sunflower Swimsuit. I love the color contrast between the navy blue suit and the bright golden sunflowers. There’s even a really cute sunflower right at the collar. I paired up the Sunflower Swimsuit with the Sunny Sunglasses. I think the yellows coordinate well:

Here’s is Sadie, my Mocha Pup, as she shows off her flower swimwear on the runway:

Last but certainly not least we have the beautiful Breezy Summer Dress. The Breezy Summer Dress, which is the most expensive item in the 2017 Summer Clothing Line, has such pretty gold and orange stitching. It really looks like it was embroidered by hand. The colors remind me of a sunset:

Here’s Evangeline, my Midnight Marten, as she “breezes” down the runway in this cute dress:

That’s all for our Fashion Show and that’s all for the 2017 Summer Clothing Line. Which are your favorite pieces in the collection? Are you going to buy them all or just a few items? Let me know in the comments, and I’ll send you a piece from the line via Kinzpost!

 

2017 Spring Clothing Line has arrived!

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:

Before we get to the fashion show, let’s break down the 2017 Spring Clothing Line by name and price – notice that four of the items are only available to Deluxe members:

1. Blue Gumboots 240 kinzcash
2. Cinched Sweater 400 kinzcash
3. Dark Blue Paisley Shorts 215 kinzcash
4. Floral Headband 135 kinzcash
5. Light Green Slacks 290 kinzcash (Deluxe only)

10. Spring Gradient Tee 250 kinzcash
11. Springtime Trench 450 kinzcash
12. Springy Vest 230 kinzcash (Deluxe only)

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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!

Hooray for Winterfest!

Wow! And wow some more is all I can say! Ganz has really outdone themselves with this year’s Winterfest. There are prizes galore, challenges and even an awesome pet designing contest happening in January.

I even dressed up some of my pets in celebration on Winterfest:

(If you like my Blue Persian Kitten, be sure to check out my adoption video.)

So much is happening in January that I made a little list to keep track of it all:

If you’d like a copy of this list to print or to save for reference, the PDF is right here: 2017-winterfest-events.

I also made a calendar of all the events so you won’t miss a thing with all the excitement happening in Webkinz World throughout January.

If you’d like to download and print your own copy, you can find the PDF here: january-2017-webkinz-events-calendar.

Of course, all of this information is available on Webkinz Newz, but I thought it might be handy to have it all in one place. 🙂

Between now and January 10th, make sure you “max out” on snowflakes:

That means finding the floaty click snowflake on Webkinz Newz:

AND collecting 5 floating snowflakes in Webkinz World!

This year the floating snowflakes award items related to ice skating, which pairs well with the prizes you can win if you feed your pet Winterfest Cookies from the Ganz eStore.

Here’s the snowflake prize pool:

Which of these prizes are your favorite? I really like the Girl’s Figure Skates, and I’m hoping to get enough Skating Rink Floor Tiles to build an ice skating room. Do you have any plans for your snowflake prizes? (Hint: Stay tuned to crazy4webkinz.com for a room design drawing!)

Speaking of prizes, don’t forget to complete the Peek-a-Newz challenge each day on Webkinz Newz. This month you’re looking for the Zig Zag Zebra, which is January’s Pet of the Month. Here are the prizes  you can win when you find the Zig Zag Zebra five times:

Which of these prizes are you hoping to win? I really like the green couch and the red window in the “uncommon” prizes.

A few days after the floating snowflakes disappear until next year year’s Winterfest, the Winter Shopping Spree starts. I’ll talk more about the Winter Shopping Spree later this month – get ready to collect retired clothing pieces AND floating SPREE dice!

Are you excited about this year’s Winterfest? Have you been collecting your snowflakes? Let me know in the comments for a winter prize via kinzpost!

Adopting a Blue Persian Kitten

I can’t help myself…I’ll come across a certain pet in the Ganz eStore and just fall in love! It was definitely love at first sight when I saw the Blue Persian Kitten. I was lucky I had some eStore points left from the Cyber Monday sale, so I was able to buy my Blue Persian Kitten right then and there!

Take a look at what a cutie the Blue Persian Kitten is:

I just love those big blue eyes and those teeny tiny ears! I decided to named her Audrey because I think it’s a pretty name for a pretty kitten.

To see more of the Blue Persian Kitten in action, check out my adoption video:

Want one of your own? Head over to the Ganz eStore. (To buy the Blue Persian Kitten you need to have a Deluxe Membership.)

What do you think of the Blue Persian Kitten? Do you want to add one to your Webkinz family?
