Ankara Emrgence

This wrap skirt just grabbed me!

Today I am posting an audio blog from my Soundcloud account because I just had too much going on in my head and I felt like talking rather than writing because I just felt like my fingers would be to slow to catch up to my thoughts today. My thoughts are about the emergence of Ankara print design in New York. Above is a wrap skirt I bought on 125 in Harlem just a stones throw from where I live. And I have also included links below to a few places and people I mention in my voice blog rambling.

And here is my soundblog! Welcome to my voice! LOL!

More New Clothes for Emily Blythe

And a new hair-do...

So far I've bought all my Blythe Clothes from Etsy artists. I'm pretty sure the doll clothes they sell at Toy R Us are not very compatible. But sometimes I do wonder if there's a little store somewhere that sells Blythe clothes. If they did though, I'm sure they wouldn't be as unique and imaginative as these. These are by Hilary Wagstaff in London

So far, they all fit her to a T. Most have snap buttons in the back and they're so tiny! I like to imagine someone sewing tiny teeny Blythe clothes all day! The next item I want to get her this killer crochet top made by someone whose work I saw on flickr this week on my hunt for a Black Blythe for sale. I get distracted so easily. It's fukin adorable!

I also think I have Emily Blythe's sister pretty much picked out. She's made by Ashton Drake as well and fortunately is comfortably within my budget. Three Blythe Dolls is my limit. Her sis is a redhead I found on ebay but she has bangs so she looks slightly more commercial. I don't think it's too soon.

FINALLY!!!

Dress made by theFuture on etsy.com

It came with a little white underwear dress and a tiny shoulder bag! We were very happy. I can't wait to get the pants! More of my Blythe pics here.
