Hat-Tastic Party Line - July 2014


I got my Hat-Tastic Party Cerise a couple of weeks ago and so I apologise for not putting pictures up of her yet! I was so HEXCITED for this doll :D


Box Detail:

From the picture above you can see that Mattel have kept the same basic style of box, with her name at the top and the book design. The watercolour look to the background is the same and the general layout is very similar. It's very aesthetically pleasing :)


The artwork on the side of the box is the similar, changed slightly to pose Cerise with her cup and they've obviously changed her clothes :) Lots of fans are saying they'd like to see a new look to the artwork but I have no idea why, I love how it looks :)


I love the back of the box too :D It's like a screenshot of a MyChapter page (their version of Myspace / Facebook) like an event invite :) It's so cute!

Appearance:


The reason most people liked this doll was her hair. She has a new red streak in it :D

Compared to the Basic doll, her face has changed and she looks  a lot prettier. Still no wolf ears though :/

I don't really like her eye makeup, I have no idea why she went for that peachy-pink eye-shadow, the grey would have been nice on its own. Her lips are a lovely red and we all know that suits her <3


Don't you just love this whole outfit? I know I do :D


Everyone who was invited to Maddie's Hat-Tastic Tea Party wore a hat! Cerise chose a cute brown mini-tophat (which I also have loads of, so I ADORE this choice!!) that appears to be made from leather and looks quite steampunk to me :D


Even though she has the little hat she has the pretty red hood :) This is attached to her pretty dress. Her dress is mostly red and has black puffy sleeves. She wears a black belt around her waist. The skirt of her dress is layered; the top layer is red with a check/tartan type print and the bottom layer is decorated with teacups and leaves.


She has knee-length fishnet socks and adorable black boots with red laces <3 Not sure about the socks but I love the boots :)

Accessories:


Cerise wears black, textured gloves and what look like black bracelets (although they could be part of the gloves). Her bag is so cute, a small purse with black detailing :)


Cerise's tea set looks like it's made of wicker! It's so cute :) She has a teapot and two teacups :)


I Like:
Her new hair
Her new face!
Her dress
Her boots

I Dislike:
Her eye makeup
Her socks
(But not loads, just less than everything else) :)
