Also, the Japanese chain Miniso that has stores in select US markets is changing up their inventory. When I was at the one in Greensburg, PA, this past weekend, they had a pretty extensive clearance section as well as a lot of new merchandise, including slide sandals. Did I buy anything? Well, let's just say I bought enough to get a free gift. Photos to come.

Impressions Vanity Company is still running a clearance on their Barbie collab line. Some very nice pieces at very nice prices. I know because I bought a lot of them!

Barbie x Beauty Creations also has a new line. My friends who have purchased from there are loving what they bought. My order hasn't arrived yet so no first hand info.

DSW is currently clearancing a lot of the Barbie x Aldo collab so if you're in the market for new shoes, maybe you can find what you're looking for. As an aside, there's also a Betsey Johnson fuchsia pink rhinestone heel that would be great for anyone heading to convention or another Barbie event. They are also surprisingly comfy. Not that I would really know anything about those shoes..cough, cough.

Finally, Hot Chocolate shoes is bringing us these retro inspired shoes which may or may not be on my feet in Louisville in a few months.

Excellent likeness...why make a hero doll so expensive for kids who might want one of their heros.

Hi everyone. Sorry I've been silent lately, but I have a few news bites.

First up, there's a new "Kenbassadors" doll releasing soon - LeBron James. This doll isn't to my taste but for those who are, he will be $75 and available at Mattel Creations and "select other retailers" - whoever those are.

For the other details...
