November Favourites

Can you even believe it's December already, it's crazy! But since it's December that means it's time for my November Favourites, which are of course all Disney themed. I have quite a few this month so let's get started..

First up is the Moana Classic Doll from The Disney Store. Moana came out last Friday here in the UK, but I haven't seen it yet so that's a must watch! I did buy the classic doll though in the black Friday sale as I knew I wanted her for my collection and didn't want her to sell out like Elsa & Anna did back when Frozen came out. She is so chunky and beautiful, I love her so much as she is so different to the general princesses. 

I've recently decided to start collecting the Disney Shoe Ornaments and knew I needed Rapunzel. I got Tinkerbell last year, Minnie when I went to Disneyland Paris earlier this year and I've ordered quiet a few for Christmas! Rapunzel was going to be harder though as they didn't sell it in Disneyland Paris or online at the Disney Store and the only place to find it was ebay for crazy prices!! Luckily I found the shoe on facebook on a Disney selling page for a great price and had to get it. The shoe is stunning with pink & purple glitter and her hair braided up the heel with flowers. 

Over the past month I've been doing alot of trading and managed to acquire one of my grails along the way, I'm talking about this amazing Frozen Jumbo! It's actually massive and I love the stain glass detail in the background. It also has all the main characters on it, which is hard to find as Hans is often excluded from merchandise. Elsa and Anna also have a pin-on-pin 3D effect, which is super cool! I still can't believe I now own this pin!!

I actually got this Belle in a raffle and I love her so much! I have been wanting her for ages especially with the amazing detail on her dress of her castle. I always love Jim Shore's take on the Disney characters with his patterns and I think Belle looks stunning.

I've been collecting the Disney Christmas decorations this year and this has to be one of my favourites. Peter Pan is my favourite Disney movie (if you don't know already!) so this was a must have for me. I love the Big Ben scene in the movie and kind of wished this ornament showed the same time as the movie but you can't have everything perfect! It includes Peter Pan & all three children (Michael is on the back) and it covered in gold glitter.

And of course I couldn't do my November Favourites without including this amazing Princess figure set from The Disney Store. I did a full review on this set last week, which you can find here. I love this set so much as it includes so many princesses and sidekicks that are often forgotten. The are covered in pretty glitter and look great in or out of the box! 

That's all my favourites for November!

Disney Christmas Gift Guide

So it's that time of the year again, can you believe it?! I've put together some of my favourite Disney bits to share with you this festive season. From dolls to decorations, I've got something for everyone this Christmas!

 Ariel PJs | Beauty and the Beast PJs | Ursula PJs

Christmas is a time for getting cosy and warm in your PJs so why not buy someone a super cool pair of Disney ones! There are so many on the market right from Matalan, ASDA, Topshop, Asos, Primark..the list goes on. They be a really cool inexpensive gift that sometime can use for ages. 

Dumbo Soft Toy | Tinkerbell Animator Doll | Snow White Classic Doll

The Disney Store has a great range of dolls and soft toys for all ages. If you fancy something small, try a smaller plush or doll, if your looking for something abit bigger maybe the Animator Collection is more you. Disney's soft toy collection ranges in all different characters from princesses to some of your favourite animals to classic characters. If you love the look of the Animator Dolls but they are just abit too big, try the Mini Animator Doll Collection instead! 

Disney Traditions | Disney Princess Mega Figurine Set

Now Figurines are some of my favourites things to collect from the stunning Jim Shore Traditions to the Disney Store's figurine sets. This Christmas Disney have introduced the 'Mega Figurine Sets', which include all your favourite for a good price. Disney are generally having sales or offers all the time leading up to Christmas so I bet you can get these Mega sets for even less! For the more adult fan maybe a Jim Shore Disney Tradition is the way to go. There are endless characters, movies and scenes in stunning carved art. 

 Up Decoration | Alice in Wonderland Decorative Shoe | Disney Princess Hanging Decorations

Everyone needs a Disney Christmas Decoration whether it's on their tree or just as an ornament. Each year The Disney Store brings out new Disney Decorations ranging from Robin Hood to Peter Pan. They even have singing decorations, which are my favourite! Bring the magic of Disney home with classic scenes like the Up house or Ariel on her rock. There are also a range of Disney Shoe Ornaments, which are inspired by different characters and movies.

 Jack Skellington LE Pin | Animator Collection LE Pin Set | Moana LE Pin Set

 A slightly different gift idea next, Disney Pins. I'm a Disney Pin Addict as I love them so much so I just couldn't miss them from my list! Whether you like girly princess pins, dark edgy pins or just general classic pins..I'm sure there is one for you. From Jack Skellington to the newest Disney movie 'Moana' there are tons of pins to choose from.

Pinocchio Snowglobe | Aurora Snowglobe | Beauty and the Beast Snowglobe

If your looking for the perfect gift for an adult Disney fan then look no further than a Disney Snowglobe. The Disney Store have sold some beautiful snowglobes over the years, which if your lucky you could probably find on Ebay, but the website offers some lovely ones too. Some are even musical and light up, how cool is that!?

That's my Disney Christmas Gift Guide for 2016, hope it helps!!

Disney August Favourites!

I literally can't believe August is over and it's already September..next thing we know it will be Christmas here we come! Anyway, since another month is over that means a favourites is due! I'm hoping to do one of these for every month and have a simple run down of my Disney Favourites.

My first favourite this month has to be one of my favourite ever plushies, Gaston from Beauty & the Beast! Since it's the 25th anniversary this year of Beauty and the Beast they have released lots of new soft toys to celebrate including this amazing Gaston. Gaston is one of my favourite villains and characters from the movie so when I saw this I knew it had to be mine!

You can buy Gaston here

I've been loving the Animator Collection range that they have just released at The Disney Store. I love collecting the dolls and have quite a few including the mini ones, so when they made I found out they made figures I was so excited! I think they are some of the the most detailed figures I own and they have included lots of amazing characters that look just like the younger versions of them. I really hope they make another series with Tinkerbell & Alice!

You can buy the Deluxe Animator Figure Set here

I saw this bag & purse online and in store ages ago but they were quite expensive. I waited and I was super lucky to find them in the sale for an good price! It was just before I went to Disneyland Paris and my Mum treated me to them for the trip. I wore it for the whole trip and the bag is very comfy and a great length.

Sadly the bag is Out of Stock but you can buy the purse here

Over the last month I have been loving the new Disney Movie Collection books. I've been collecting all my favourites and these are just some on the picture. I love that they are hardback as I find paperback abit floppy and the illustrations are beautiful. I find these quite pricey for a book at £10 but luckily I bought alot on offers, so I'd wait till they are on offer again!

You can buy them here

I've also been loving Tsum Tsums this month with one of the August releases being Beauty and the Beast for the anniversary. I was so sad as I wasn't quick enough to get the tsum tsums on release day but luckily a friend of mine had some extras and sold them to me for retail price, which was truly magical! I got Beast, Belle & Gaston and I love them! I think they really look like their characters and the detail is great too.

Sadly all the Beauty & the Beast Tsum Tsums have sold out now.

August has been a busy month for pins as I went to Disneyland Paris and bought a ton there and got some at Comic Con too..(even though that was at the end of July!)..anyway, these are a few of my favourites in my collection that I thought I'd show. I was super lucky to have my amazing US friend pick me up the first 60th Disneyland diamond for retail cost and then bought the Peter Pan Designer pin from a UK seller for £10!! So happy with my pins this month :)

That's my August Favourites!
Hope you enjoyed, let me know your favourite on my list or if you have a disney favourite!

My Disney Pin Collection

I've been collecting Disney pins since 2014 and I'm totally addicted. I first noticed pins when I went to DLP in 2013 but only bought one. Then I started instagram and found out people where collecting & trading via social media. I loved looking at all the different designs and styles you could get of all different characters! It was an awesome way to collect Disney but it doesn't take up too much room..well so I thought! Two pinboards on my walls later, I've realised how crazy pin collecting can be! 

I sort my pins into different sections to make them look nice and tidy.

I collect:

• Frozen
• Peter Pan
• Tangled
• Disney Dreams
• Beauty & the Beast
• Villains
• Random pins that I like..(disneyland 60th anniversary, sets, princesses..)

 Frozen was one of the first collections I started as I love the characters and movie so much. The hype for Frozen pins was crazy and my collection is no where near other amazing collections. Since I live in the UK, it is extremely hard to get special LE pins or hard to find pins as they always cost crazy money because I can't just go to a Disney Park to pick them up myself! Luckily I got good deals on my pins and I'm proud of my collection. 

Beauty and the Beast is one of my newest collections as you can see by how small is it compared to others. I do have a couple of other pins like Gaston, Beast, Lumiere, Cogsworth & Chip but they are on my other character pinboard. I love the gold that are used in these pins and I'm really proud that I collected the whole of the New Fantasyland set. 

Tangled was also one of the first collections I started since Rapunzel is my favourite princess. I have quite alot of special LE pins in my Tangled collection like the book & stained glass. I love all the pinks and purples that they use for Rapunzel and of course all the blonde hair! 

Peter Pan is my biggest collection and my favourite next to my Disney Dreams pins. Peter Pan is my favourite character and movie so it was an obvious choice to collect him. I love my Peter Pan pins and I was lucky to get alot of them for amazing prices! My favourites are the locket & the Designer Fairytale LE pin. 

These are my princess pins and shields. I'm extremely lucky to have all the shields in the collection as I know Snow White & Belle are hard to find now. I got these for Christmas one year from an amazing french seller, who kindly picked them up for me from DLP and sold at a great price! I wasn't sure on them at first but now I love all the colours and style. My favourite pins are the locket & top one with all the princesses one. 

I'm the HUGEST fan of the Disneyland Paris night time fireworks show 'Disney Dreams' and when I found out they made pins for it I knew I had to collect them. I bought all the OE bottom ones from the Disney Store website when I first started, then eventually bought the LE top pins. I know I'm still missing Alice in Wonderland & Tangled LE pins but one day they will be mine! 

 On the left is my small collection of a set called 'Once Upon a Time'. They came out in Disneyland & Walt Disney World in mystery boxes and I love them. I traded for 3 of them and bought the other 2 for an amazing price as they can be quite expensive. They are quite big pins and even have a little stand, which has their name on! On the right is my nesting doll set that came out last year in Disneyland & WDW. They are pins of some of the princesses and some other characters like the fairies from Sleeping Beauty, Tinkerbell & Mary Poppins. 

At the top are pins different sets such as the Princess Cameos, DLP Cast Member badges, Princess Cell Phones & Once Upon a Time Tokyo Show Pins. At the bottom are all my hotel, year, park & attraction pins. I'm trying to collect a year pin every time I go to DLP so I still need a 2013! I have a Santa Fe hotel pin as I stayed there when I went a couple of weeks ago. I have all my park pins and attraction pins from all the different parks too. 

These are random pins that I just like so I keep. I have a little Arisocats collection, Aladdin collection & then other randoms like Sofia the First, Up, Jungle Book..etc! 

 

These are some of my most treasured pins as they are for Disneyland 60th Anniversary. The blue diamond at the top is one of my favourite and most special pins. My Californian friend got it for me and I love it!

 

This is my Villains collection. I love the pop art looking ones as they are so different! I'm trying to get one of every villain, as villains are generally my favourite!

Then my newest collection and project is on a small pinboard. I'm trying to collect as my characters as my board will fit. So far I've done pretty well and can't wait to collect more and more different characters so by the end it will be one huge montage and of course Walt is in the middle!

That's my pin collection. I will blog about my pins more in other posts.

Thanks for reading :)
