What do I think of Grace?

I don't like her. She is certainly an improvement from Isabelle, I'll give her that, but what's her deal? Baking. Baking is the theme for this years GOTY. Not a bad theme, it's original to the GOTY line. Also she vacations in Paris, France. In case you confused it with Paris, Ohio. You see, AG has been recycling GOTY themes ever since Lanie. Both Kailey and Lanie were environmentalists, you could make a case for Kanani too, but Lanie came first. Saige was a recycled Nicki. Horses? Check. Blue eyes freckles, and curly hair? Checkarooni! Isabelle was a recycled Marisol, and when you search for "marisol" on the AG website, you get a page that says "sorry, the Isabelle doll is no longer available" to boot. To add insult to injury, everyone from Mia and back no longer have their books in the shop. What happened to "her story lives on!"? Come on Ag their books fucking books.If you can't afford to print them anymore, have someone else print them! Back on subject, Grace's overseas extravaganza is recycled from Jess, who went on an archaeology dig with her parents in Belize. Grace could have just as easily gone to Toulouse, France. Not as recognizable but Paris is already so famous and overdone. I think that a general cooking theme would have been a better idea. You can also donate up to $10 to No Kid Hungry, a self explanatory charity. Sincere props to AG for allowing to option to donate! Well done. Onto Grace's collection (note: I will mostly be focusing on clothes):

Grace's City Outfit

Headband: I hate non-stretchy AG headbands 

Sweater: I love it! no pun intended.

Shorts: Ummmm..

Shoes: I like the colored bows and toe caps.

Altogether: This ensemble all together looks like Grace had to throw something together so she could ride with her mom to the gas station. Maybe I'll buy it.

Grace's Paris Accessories

Purse: Pretty cute

Gloves: They don't seem to match Grace's personality very much.

Tiny Eiffel Tower purse with metro pass: Why was the tiny purse included? the metro pass is kinda cute though.

Lip gloss: Of course it has her name on it! They made this same damn mistake with Isabelle last year, they can't learn from their mistakes can they?

Grace's Opening-Night Outfit

Headband: same as the city outfit

Dress: now THIS I can get behind. I'm loving it!

Sandals: pretty cute. they probably won't fit Claira, but I'll figure something out.

Altogether: a definite buy for me! this entire outfit is so pretty it almost makes up for the City Outfit. 

Grace's Travel Coat

I like the color, but not much else. The flap on her right breast is throwing me off really bad. definite not-buy, just because my dolls already have coats .But even if they did, they would not own this one.

Grace's Welcome Gifts

Beret: Extremely cute. definite buy just for the hat. *checks price* Oh well, maybe for my birthday.

Foods: Macaroons and cookies. they're cute but don't seem to be very functional, like most AG food.

Flowers: The paper they're wrapped in is cute and different, but not much else.

Papery stuff: Who cares.

Summary: Alright AG, who's next?
