Nanea's Holoku Dress

Hi everyone! It's Katherine here today with a photo-shoot of Nanea for you! Enjoy!

The dress that Nanea is wearing is called a holoku. It has been worn in Hawaii since 1820 and is associated with  Hawaiian ethnicity.

Even though the holoku is of Hawaiian ethnicity, it's not as widely known as the mu'umu'u which is regarded by non-natives of Hawaii as the Hawaiian dress. 

This dress was from an adaptation of an American day gown that originated in 1820.

The holoku is now considered formal wear instead of every day dress.

A couple pictures of the train of the dress because it's so pretty!

Around her neck Nanea is wearing a maile lei which is a lei made from maile leaves and worn for special occasions.

Did you know the history behind the holoku dress? I didn't, so I researched it.

Did you find the information interesting? Would you like to know more? Let me know, and if you do I will do another post. 

Which picture as your favorite?

~ Thankfulness ~

Hello everyone! Anastasia here. If you celebrate it, I hope everybody had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Today I have a throwback picture and a small post.

We didn't post on Friday just because we were too busy celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday and didn't have time. 

I wanted to say that I am thankful for many things, and one of the things that I'm thankful for is you! All of us here at A Doll's Life are thankful for you the reader. <3

Do you celebrate Thanksgiving?

These are a Few of my Favorite Things (About Fall)

Hello again! It is I, Samantha here. Today, as promised, I have a post in which I tell you why I love fall. (Click *here* to see the first fall post!)

1. I LOVE the gorgeous colors like yellow, orange, red, and even some of the brown and green! All of them are WONDERFUL together!

2. I LOVE the cooler weather (but not cold!) and the color scheme of clothes in fall.

3. Pumpkin Spice everything and chai teas! Fall coffee flavors are the best.

4. I've already mentioned the beautiful fall leaves and trees, but this one is for crunchy leaves! 

Enjoy some bonus pictures of the trees!

What's your favorite thing about fall?
