Melody Valerie Tropical Sunshine

Spring Giveaway Sonali is off into the world via UPS and is now going to live the good life in her new "Forever Home" with Ms. Nickel. :)

As a celebration of her new life elsewhere (hopefully outside of her box, which she has lived in for awhile), we thought we'd feature our own Sundari in her Melody Valerie Tropical Sunshine dress. She sure is a beautiful doll and she looks pretty fantastic in this brightly colored frock!


Yes we finally get around to posting about Tropical Sunshine from the Melody Valerie Spring 2010 Line. We are so slow! We posted our intro video back in April, which you can see here. And now it is already halfway through June! Where does the time go?

Anyways-- Melody Valerie Couture is on vacation right now--- but they'll be back later in the summer to start planning for the Fall Line. Woot!

For now, we can just drool over the dresses we already have! Tropical Sunshine was destined for Sundari. She looks fantastic in bright, bold colors and girly dresses really complement her flowing locks and soft eyes. Our favorite part about this dress is how the colors play with each other, moving back and forth across the dress-- for example, how the yellow fabric breaks down into the turquoise pleats from the yellow bow on the low waistline. It really is an amazingly designed piece-- and it must have taken f-o-r-e-v-e-r to sew all the squares and rectangles together and to get the fit just right!

In our pictures you can see Sundari shopping in "Paris" for something to decorate her bedroom. The print you see behind her comes from DKim's Etsy shop, and it is titled "Softly as I Leave." DKim has sold over 2400 prints and originals since joining Etsy in 2006. That's a lot of sales! And you can see why- her prints are beautiful!

And what are Sundari's accessories for this photo shoot? Her necklace is a bright turquoise hair elastic-- yes, very chic. ;) And her shoes are Josefina's from AG--- but they don't fit our Pre-Mattel Josefina's chubby toes. :( But that means she won't get jealous when Sundari wears them.

Please enjoy our pics below!




So be sure to check out the Melody Valerie Couture Etsy shop when it re-opens for business with the Fall Line (eventually) and read their blog here for news and updates from the studio. :)

I LOVE Tropical Sunshine! I was flipping out when my mom handed me the dress in the car =) my fabulous younger sister had brought along my Rebecca (the dress was for her) so I could change her into it. She's wearing it to AG Dallas next month too!

That's exciting! It's so cool that Rebecca gets to wear it to an AG store!

My Jenna (Marisol) wears this dress in our house for the same reasons that you listed for Sundari - the flowing hair and dark skin tone makes for a wonderful combination with Tropical Sunshine's vivid colors! Beautiful photos!
