The girls love dressing up and helping their community, so Beth’s Best is having a fashion show fundraiser. Since Sophia’s family has a rescue dog and Carly’s family just adopted a cat,  their fundraiser will support the ASPCA. Our first contestant, Carly wore a stunning blue spaghetti strap dress with a matching hair accessory,  shawl and purse DRSDT-AC.  Her metallic teal shoes SUB-TL were a perfect match and made it easy to move about the stage while she sang “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” for the talent portion! Catherine was excited to wear her rainbow two piece bikini with the matching skirt DRBSB-RB.  for the swimsuit competition.  It is her favorite 3 piece bathing suit for 18in dolls  because if she wants an easy cover-up, she just puts the skirt on over the bikini bottoms. The yellow ring details are fun. Strutting down the runway in her polka dot flip flops STFF-AQ certainly caught the judges eye! These unique sandals for 18″ dolls fit snugly at the toe and have an elastic strap to be sure they stay put! Sophia was the top fundraiser for the ASPCA and Continue Reading →

As the school year comes to a close, Beth’s Best is celebrating 18″ dolls’ graduations.  Sophia, Julia and Catherine are all graduating from high school.  These three gals have been together since elementary school and will have the summer to spend together before heading off in different directions.  Much time was spent deciding on what 18 inch doll clothes to wear underneath their cap and gown, DRGCG. Their 18″ doll graduation set is a traditionally styled, zipper front gown with a matching white mortar board hat.  Sophia chose DRPHD, a plaid halter style 18in doll dress. The full skirt and halter neckline will keep her cool during the ceremony and the colorful plaid will look super in photo ops!

Since Memorial Day was so rainy, Beth’s Best is taking her 18″ dolls camping since the weather report is much more promising. Catherine, Julia and Sophia did some camping with the scout program but it has been awhile! Time to dust off the camping gear, toss  some clothes into a backpack and head out to the wilderness…aka the local campground! Upon arriving at their spot, they started to unpacked the car, LA-V. Thank goodness it’s a convertible  doll size vehicle because there was a ton of stuff! First thing was putting up the hot pink18″ doll tent  CAT-HP! With all the pieces tucked into its carry bag, it was up in a flash. Big enough for all three girls, they unrolled their sleeping bags, CASB, and claimed their spots! Sophia grabbed her lounge chair JL-LC, perfect for reading and just relaxing.  Catherine and Julia unloaded the Coleman®18″ doll cooler  JL-CCL-BL which was full with food and lemonade. Next came the camp stove for 18 inch dolls, JL-CSF-GR.  They are excited to cookout and even though the campsite had a fire pit, having the Coleman camp stove is so much easier for Continue Reading →

Field Day is one of the  most fun school days by far so  Beth’s Best is shouting Hooray for Field Day! The girls are very excited to be participating in Field Day, because their grade finally gets to play with Eartha…the extremely large, blow up medicine ball  that resembles a globe.  It is way too big for the little kids and has become something that all of the kids look forward to starting from kindergarten!  The other events are just as much fun, like “water in the spoon”, kicking a soccer ball around cones, tug-of war  and a bean bag toss…even if we are  on different teams.  The weather was “iffy” but we all wanted to wear shorts in case it was hot or we got wet during one of the events.  Sophia can’t be missed in her neon workout set for 18 inch dolls  DRSBT-GT  with matching sneakers hot pink and green mesh doll sneakers SRMS-PG.  Lucky for Julia, she was assigned to be on Sophia’s team.  Her interlock 18″ doll shorts and sweatshirt set DRBSS-HP is so comfy and she can wear it to basketball practice after school. No way she wasn’t wearing her favorite 18in doll  high Continue Reading →

This week, Beth’s Best is taking the 18″ dolls on their much deserved field trip.  Since the weather on the east coast has finally warmed up, the girls are headed to the beach.  Wind in their hair, sand in their toes and a boardwalk full of fun foods and souvenir stores, the day promises to provide them memories to last a lifetime.  Since this is a school sponsored trip, there was a dress code where girls had to wear pants or shorts.  That made picking outfits easy. Since it is still too chilly to be swimming, no swimwear necessary!  Sophia is always cold, so her capri pants outfit SH-WT-HC is perfect. She grabbed a  hoodie for 18in dolls, SPHD in keep in her backpack MABP-HP along with her phone and sunscreen.  New  18″  floral doll espadrilles STEF-HP are so comfy for walking and easy to slip off in case she can just run and dip her feet in the water!!

With the end of school on the horizon, Beth’s Best features the last slumber party before the end of school.  Sophia, Carly and Julia have gathered at Sophia’s house for the evening.  Naturally, after  pizza for dinner and a funny movie with popcorn, the gals have retired to Sophia’s bedroom for some girl time! Attempting some new “do’s” is always fun.  Good thing that there are so many styling tools and hair care items in JL-HSS, enough for all of them.  They are very excited about an upcoming field trip to the beach.  This is something special for their class and everyone is looking forward to it! Sophia loves her 18″ doll leopard pj’s DRPJ-LP and coordinating 18in doll leopard robe and slippers set DRNR-LP.  As you can tell, pink is her favorite color and the pink collar and cuffs in the robe and pink fur slippers, truly make her smile! She’s not sure what to try with her hair, so the headband will just have to work until something in her Teen Magazine catches her eye. Carly has volunteered to be the first to be styled.  As long as Julia keeps the Continue Reading →

This week’s Outfit of the Week will start to get everyone in the spirit of Memorial Day. Celebrated on the last Monday in May, Memorial Day honors those who gave their lives while serving in the military.  A red, white and blue 18″ cheerleader costume plus sneakers will be perfect for your 18″ doll and get her ready for a celebration.  A cheerleading squad will be featured in the local Memorial Day Parade this year. The girls are so excited and have been practicing day and night to be sure that their routine is perfect!    In addition, they all got new uniforms in red, white and blue for the event! DRCO-RN is a 2 piece cheerleading costume for 18″ dolls. Having a sleeveless top will be great if the weather is warm and the red chevron stripe detail against the blue fabric looks amazing.  A hook and loop closure in the back will make this a perfect fit for many 18 inch dolls.  We just love the 3 kick pleats in the front of the white skirt. It provides room for some of the fancy moves the girls have learned and exposes the red fabric inserts which give an explosion Continue Reading →
