Part 2: 2018 Winter Fashion Line

PJ Collie is back with the second half of the 2018 winter fashion line!

Back in January we checked out the first six items in the new winter clothing line – now the second six items have been released, and it’s time for another fashion show!

The entire 2018 winter clothing line is available in the KinzStyle Outlet in the “New” section:

 

Here’s an overview of the new six items and their prices:

1. Denim Beanie: 225 Kinzcash (Deluxe only)
2. Denim Bomber Jacket: 445 Kinzcash (Deluxe only)
3. Duo Denim Jeans: 390 Kinzcash
4. Red Tartan Trousers: 450 Kinzcash
5. Slouchy Leather Beret: 280 Kinzcash
6. Zip Up Boots: 350 Kinzcash

If you want to buy all six items (and you don’t have any coupons), the second half of the 2018 winter clothing line will cost you a total of 2,140 Kinzcash.

Now let’s take a look at how these clothing items will actually look on your pets.

Three out of the six items listed above are all denim, so it made sense to put them together as one outfit:

Here is Dali, my Panda Cub, on the runway in her all denim outfit:

Since the Denim Beanie is a hat, you can look down in the corner of your screen and see your pet wearing it:

Out of the three denim pieces, my favorite is definitely the Duo Denim Jeans. I decided to feature just the jeans to see what kinds of outfits you can make. Here is my Ribbon Yorkie “Taffy” wearing the Duo Denim Jeans, Pink Polka Dot Rain Boots and the Funky Flower Tee:

Check out Taffy looking Pretty in Pink on the runway:

To me the beret, boots and tartan trousers all go together well. I added a plain Black T-shirt from the KinzStyle Outift and put together this outfit for my Dalmatian “Orchid”:

Orchid looks like a total rock star on the runway:

Orchid looks cute peeking out from the corner in the Slouchy Leather Beret:

What do you think of the new additions to the 2018 winter clothing line? Which pieces do you plan to buy?

2018 Winter Clothing Line: Part 1

The first part of the 2018 Winter Clothing Line has arrived at the KinzStyle outlet, so let’s check out what Pollie Jean Colly has to offer us this season!

Altogether, there are six items in the first half of the 2018 Winter Clothing Line:

1. Fuzzy Purple Sweater: 425 kinzcash
2. Homespun Sweater: 475 kinzcash
3. Pink Pouffy Coat: 550 kinzcash (deluxe only)
4. Quilted Snow Jacket: 455 kinzcash (deluxe only)
5. Quilted Snow Pants: 365 kinzcash
6. Silver Sneakers 375 kinzcash

If you want to buy all six items – and you don’t have any WShop coupons – it will cost you a grand total of 2645 kinzcash.

I decided to try something a little different this time around. All of the outfits I’ve put together are made up entirely of items that you can purchase in the Kinzstyle Oulet – there aren’t any items from the eStore or items that cost eStore points.

Let’s take a closer look at each of these fabulous new clothing items:

First up is the Fuzzy Purple Sweater:

Purple is one of my favorite colors, so I really like this sweater. It looks so cuddly and snuggly, too!

I paired the Fuzzy Purple Sweater with Distressed Stretchy Jeans and Slouch Boots.

Here’s a look at Audrey, my Blue Persian Kitten, showing off the Fuzzy Purple Sweater as she heads down the runway in my Fashion Show Room:

Next let’s check out the Homespun Sweater. I have to admit, I wasn’t sure if I would really like the Homespun Sweater, but that changed when I saw how the sweater actually looks on your pet:

The Homespun Sweater looks very cozy, and I like the way it blends so nicely with earth tones. Lots of Webkinz clothes match best with black, so I like seeing a new item that goes well with brown.

Digger, my Prairie Dog, is wearing the Homespun Sweater with Soft Suede Boots, Eyeglasses and Cool Baggy Brown Jeans.

This is Digger strutting his stuff in his stylish new sweater:

The Pink Pouffy Coat is my second favorite piece in the 2018 Winter Clothing Line. I absolutely love pink! This hot pink color is really bold – it’s definitely the kind of clothing item that makes a statement.

I put the Pink Pouffy Coat on Dali, my Panda Cub. (The Panda Cub was a free pet I got with my one year Deluxe membership a couple of years ago.) Dali is also wearing Black Cowboy Boots and a Pink Bow.

Here’s how the Pink Pouffy Coat looks on a pet:

I combined the Quilted Snow Jacket and Quilted Snow Pants into one outfit:

This outfit is being modeled by Shimmer, the Magical Retriever I won from a pack of Webkinz Trading Cards. To give Shimmer’s outfit some serious attitude, I paired it with a Dude Hat and Red Skate Shoes.

Here’s Shimmer showing off her quilted clothes on the runway:

Last up are the Silver Sneakers. The Silver Sneakers are fun and flashy, but they’ll also match with lots of different outfits. I especially like clothing items that you can mix and match. 🙂

Here is Kensington, my Pretty Kitty, wearing the Silver Sneakers:

Along with the Silver Sneakers, Kensington has on Cuffed Jeans and a Striped Polo.

Check out the Silver Sneakers on Kensington while she shows off this cute outfit:

So what is your favorite item from the first half of the 2018 Winter Clothing Line? Let me know, and I just might send you your favorite item via Kinzpost! 🙂 (Make sure I know your Webkinz name!)

A Closer Look: 2018 Winterfest Cookie Prizes

Winterfest is well underway in Webkinz World, and if you’re like me, you’ve already collected quite a few of this year’s Winterfest prizes.

One way to win 2018 Webkinz Winterfest prizes is to catch the falling snowflakes that randomly appear on the screen while you’re playing (you get two extra prizes per day if you’re Deluxe).

Another way to get a whole different set of prizes is to feed your pet 2018 Winterfest Cookies. These cookies are only available at the Ganz eStore. You can buy one individually or buy a pack of 3 or a pack of 6.

Today I want to take a closer look at the 2018 Winterfest Cookie prizes. I hope this will help you decide if you might like to buy some of the cookies and maybe give you a couple of ideas about how you can use the prizes.  🙂

There are 12 prizes and 1 Grand Prize you can win when you feed your pet a 2018 Winterfest Cookie. The prizes are awarded randomly.

Here’s a list of the 12 different prizes you can win:

1. Winterfest ski goggles
2. White hockey helmet
3. Boys figure skates
4. Chalet chair
5. Winterfest skis
6. Snow covered maple tree
7. Hockey net
8. Chalet ski rack
9. Arctic fox cub plushy
10. Chalet column
11. Expert ski slope
12. Ski lift sofa

The Grand Prize is the Ski Slopes Wallpaper. (I was lucky enough to win one of these wallpapers.) Since it’s wallpaper, you can only use it in an indoor room. It’s one of the special “room with a view” type of wallpapers that creates a multidimensional look. (The Ganz eStore has a few others like it.)

Here’s how the Ski Slopes Wallpaper looks in your pet’s room – I paired it with the First Snow Flooring that you can buy at the WShop for 150 kinzcash:

I think the Ski Slopes Wallpaper is pretty awesome. It’s the perfect match for the ski slope and expert ski slope prizes.

Speaking of ski slopes, let’s take a look at the two different types you can win during Winterfest.

By catching a falling snowflake, you have a chance to win a ski slope. If you haven’t already tried out the ski slope in a room, you definitely should! It’s a fun interactive item that actually allows  your pet to ski down a small hill:

(Doesn’t Audrey – my Blue Persian – look so cute in her skating outfit?)

When you feed your pet a 2018 Winterfest Cookie you have a chance of winning an Expert Ski Slope. This item is also interactive. It’s taller than the ski slope and has three “turns”:

Here’s a little something I put together to see what it looks like when you combine the different slopes into one awesome skiing experience for your pet:

As you can kind of see from the gif above, I’ve been having some fun piecing together my Winterfest Cookie prizes and creating an outdoor ski scene.

In the pic below, you’ll see the Ski Lift Sofa as well as the Snow Covered Maple Tree. I’ve also incorporated a few of the falling snowflake prizes:

Later I added those adorable bunnies and a couple of arctic fox cub plushies to the scene. They are just SOOOO cute! 🙂

So what does your pet want to do after all that skiing? Warm up in a cozy ski chalet, of course!

Lucky for you and your pet, you can win chalet wallpaper and flooring from this year’s Winterfest Challenge:

One of the coolest additions to any ski chalet is the Chalet Column you can win when you feed your pet a 2018 Winterfest Cookie. The Chalet Column can be turned to show off one of four different looks, so it’s really versatile:

In addition to the plain chalet column, there’s a look with vintage snow shoes:

A look featuring real working Christmas lights:

And a look with a glowing lantern:

Here is a room I put together by adding the Chalet Ski Rack, Chalet Chair and the Chalet Columns along with some other Winterfest prizes – it’s a bit empty and still needs lots of work, but this will give you an idea of how some of the pieces look in a room:

The 2018 Winterfest Cookie prizes also include clothing items. Specifically, you can win Winterfest Ski Goggles, Winterfest Skis, a White Hockey Helmet and Boys Figure Skates.

The Winterfest Ski Goggles and Winterfest Skis actually look very similar to the ones you can win from the falling snowflakes. The only real difference is in the colors.

The snowflake prizes are a white, purple and blue color combination:

While the Winterfest Cookie prizes are more of a neon/electric blue and green:

There’s a couple more prizes I want to look at before I wrap up this post. What would winter be without hockey? 🙂

First, get your pet dressed in their hockey gear – this is Vint, my Mohawk Puppy wearing a Red Team Snow Suit from last year’s Winterfest along with the White Hockey Helmet and Boys Figure Skates from this year:

I just love the way Vint looks wearing his ski  helmet – too cute!

Once your pet is dressed for hockey, it’s time for them to get out on the ice. Here I used some of this year’s prizes – like the Skating Rink Floor Tile and the Skating Rink Edge Piece – along with the Hockey Net from the Winterfest Cookies to start building an outdoor hockey rink:

What do you think of this year’s Winterfest prizes? Which of the Winterfest Cookie prizes is your favorite? Let me know in the comments! I’ll be sending out Winterfest gifts, and I just might give away some Winterfest Cookie prizes, too! (Make sure I know your username and be sure to friend me on Webkinz.)

P.S. Here’s a really quick video I did when I “unboxed” my 2018 Winterfest Cookies:

Winners: Puffer Vest Giveaway

Hello Webkinz friends! I’m sorry I’ve been away for a while. Sometimes I have to go out in the real world and be an adult. 🙂 Hopefully I won’t have to do that again for a bit!

Here are the two rooms that won the drawing for a Ganz eStore Puffer Vest!

Both of these rooms look like such a fun place to play!

Check out this awesome winter wonderland where you can walk through the snowy trees or take a turn on the Snow Fort Slide – which is a Winterfest Cookie grand prize! And look at that cute little panda hat this Webkinz pet is wearing. I believe that was a clothing item available in the 2016 Golden Cracker Gift. Look closely and you can see the piles of snowballs all ready for a snowball fight!

Our other winner is an indoor room. You can bounce in the beautiful winter bouncy castle (the prize for the December Deluxe Monthly Challenge) or jam out with your friends on the frozen guitar and drum set. I also love the beautiful grand staircases leading down into the room. So pretty!

Thank you to my winners for sharing these awesome room designs with us! If you want a Puffer Vest, head over to the Ganz eStore where you can pick one up – but only for a limited time!

If you need eStore points, now is a great time to buy them. You can get a free Amethyst Wardrobe when you buy 33,000 or more eStore points between now and February 15th!

The 2017 Winter Clothing Line has officially debuted in the KinzStyle Outlet, which means the 2016 Summer Clothing Line has been retired.

All 12 items are pictured above – now let’s break it down by name and price – and whether the items is Deluxe only.

1. Slouchy Sweater: 360 Kinzcash

12. Warm Wraparound: 200 Kinzcash

If you wanted to buy the entire 2017 Winter Clothing Line, it’s going to cost you 3710 Kinzcash!

To help you decide which pieces you might want for your pet’s wardrobe, I’ve dressed my pets in the new clothing items and posted the pictures below. Sometimes the way a clothing item looks in the KinzStyle Outlet is really different from how it looks on your pet. Hopefully these pictures will help you decide which items are worth spending your Kinzcash on! 🙂

First up, the Slouchy Sweater and Red Cat’s Eye Glasses:

I paired these two items together because the reds match perfectly. Lila, my Strawberry Cloud Leopard, is a girl, but I think the Slouchy Sweater would look good on a boy pet as well.

Next let’s look at the Fuzzy Pom Pom Hat:

I put the Fuzzy Pom Pom Hat on my Signature German Shepherd, and it looks a little weird with his ear poking out. Maybe the hat looks better on pets with no ears – like a fish or bird. It’s a cute hat, though, and it will match with lots of outfits you can put together with the 2017 Winterfest clothing prizes.

Here’s the Bold Leopard Jacket:

At 425 Kinzcash, the Bold Leopard Jacket is the most expensive item in the 2017 Winter Clothing Line. I like the pattern a lot, and I think the fit is nice (nothing weird happening!). If you look closely at the front under my pet’s chin you can see a bit of the collar, so you can tell that it’s a jacket and not a regular shirt. I like that’s it’s done in black and gray so it can be paired with just about any color. Here’s I’ve got it with some lime green track pants.

On to the Floral Suit Top and Floral Suit Bottom:

I like the Floral Suit, especially because I don’t have nearly as much clothing for my boy pets as I do my girl pets. I don’t like, however, that the top is for everyone and the bottom is only available to Deluxe members. That makes it tough for non-Deluxe members to put the outfit together. If you’re not Deluxe and want the pants, just let me know. Friend me on Webkinz (gabirdgirl and treehuggerjess) and make sure I know your username.

Back to the suit – I like the pink flowers, and I really dig the purple tie. The Ganz design team really puts a lot of details into all of the newer clothing that’s been released.

Let’s check out the Mod Mini:

The Mod Mini has a vintage, retro look to it, and I love the details in the striped sections with the different colors and diamond-shaped design. It’s a very pretty color blue, but I do feel like it looks more like pants than a dress. I would have liked to see a bit more detail in the front instead of so much plain blue, but I still think it’s a very creative piece.

As for the Silver Boots, I just popped these on with the Floral Suit and decided the whole outfit looked pretty good:

The Silver Boots could be dressy or casual, I think. I like the neutral color and the somewhat more basic look because I think it makes the shoes more versatile. Radagast, my Webkinz Choco Cheeky Dog, is a boy, but I think the shoes would work well with a more feminine outfit, too.

Now for the Painted Camo Pants:

I put the Painted Camo Pants on my Leopard, Tibet and paired it with a plain blue shirt. As you can see from the picture, what makes these pants “painted” is the white hibiscus flowers over top of the camo print. The flowers give the pants a tropical, Hawaiian feel to me. It’s a busy design, which I like because it will make a more interesting outfit for those plain colored shirts in your wardrobe.

Next up is the Bold Red Boots:

I left my Persian Cat in just the boots so you could see them better. The boots really get covered up by clothes, and I didn’t think you’d get a very good look at them if I put her in a skirt or dress (because I do think the boots match well with the Mod Mini).

The Bold Red Boots are pretty fabulous, in my opinion. The color is definitely “bold,” and I think the design is pretty bold, too. The only downside to the Bold Red Boots is that there’s a bit of a weird look at the very bottom where it seems like my pet’s feet aren’t completely covered. Overall, though, it’s not too big of a deal. When you’re playing the game, you don’t notice the little glitch.

Now we’re moving onto my favorite piece in the whole 2017 Winter Clothing Line – the Candelicious Skirt:

This skirt really does look like candy! The colors are so fun, and I love the swirl in the design. I can definitely see this skirt making its way into my collection of favorite clothing items. Honestly, it doesn’t really look like a “winter” skirt, but it’s just so fun and colorful that it doesn’t matter. 🙂

Last up is the Warm Wraparound:

I love the fit of the Warm Wraparound – it looks so blousy and cozy! The details in the fabric really make it look like a sweater, and the folds in the front show that it’s a wrap and not just a plain shirt. It’s a basic piece, but I think it’s nice to have some basics in your wardrobe so you can mix it up with some of your more wild or colorful clothing items.

Well, that’s it for the 2017 Winter Clothing Line! What do you think of these clothing items? Which is your favorite? Do you plan to buy a lot these items or just a few? Let me know in the comments, and I’ll send you a piece from the line via Kinzpost! 🙂

2017 Webkinz Winterfest Cookies

Winterfest has arrived in Webkinz World, which means Winterfest Cookies have arrived at the Ganz eStore!

I love opening/unwrapping/unboxing mystery packages and foods on Webkinz. Whether it’s Fall Fest Soda or Christmas Tinsel Crackers, I’m hooked!

There are three different options for purchasing Winterfest Cookies – a single cookie, a 4 pack and a 6 pack – each costs a different amount of eStore points:

Here is a look at all of the prizes you can win in this year’s Winterfest Cookies:

So far I’ve bought 3 boxes, each containing six cookies. One of the prizes I was most hoping to win is the Girl’s Figure Skating Outfit, and I’ve got two! 🙂 I even got one of the Boy’s Figure Skating Outfits as well.

You can pair the Girl’s Figure Skating Outfit with the ice skates you can win from the floating snowflakes and make a really cute outfit.

Here’s my Blue Avenue Kitten Marilyn dressed as a figure skater:

This year’s grand prize is a Snow Fort Slide, and I was lucky enough to win one! Just as you probably guessed, the Snow Fort Slide is interactive – your pet can actually slide down it:

Here’s a few different views of the Snow Fort Slide, so you can see all of the details:

 

I made a really quick video (less than one minute!) of the prizes I’ve won so far:

Do you plan to purchase any Winterfest Cookies? Which prizes do you like best?

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!
