Hi everyone! It’s your resident fashionista, PJ Collie. With the crisp autumn weather almost upon us, isn’t it the perfect time to see what’s new, stylish and WARM in the world of fall fashion?

First up we’ve got Carter wearing a great outfit for that cool fall weather! He’s sporting the Boys’ Navy Blue Cardigan & Scarf with a pair of Distressed Jeans, a toasty warm Rusty Red Tam, and stylin’ Hunter Green Hiker Boots!

And here’s Noelle with an easy fall look in pretty autumn colors! She’s wearing the Fallen Leaves Headband, a super comfy yellow Long Knit Sweater, a classic Plaid Skirt (which never goes out of style) and some casual soft Moccasins to bring it all together!

Kyle’s ready for either a chilly morning run or a morning trip to the coffee shop with his Orange Warm Up Zippy, Black Sport Pants and Black and White Sneakers!

And for those rockin’ nights out in Kinzville, check out Amber’s awesome Pink Punk Riot Dress, complete with Rock Diva Boots and a Sparkly Pink Bow!

Ella McWoof: Today, I am very happy to welcome my dear friend PJ Collie to the interview chair!

PJ Collie: Hey Ell! So good to be here.

EM: Well, PJ, it seems our readers really want to know all about you. So even though I already know the answer to most of these questions (because we’re BFFs and all), I’m happy to share you with the rest of Webkinz World!

PJ: Awesome!

EM: First of all, how are things at the KinzStyle Outlet?

PJ: Pretty terrific. I really love working there. I’m always trying to come up with some new designs to feature in the shop. I love it when we get new clothes in for each season – keeping the KinzStyle Outlet fresh and fashionable is my number one priority!

EM: How often do you see Persephone, the main designer of KinzStyle outfits?

PJ: Persephone is always so busy arranging fashion shows and creating her wonderful designs. She stops by a few times a year, and we email and talk on the phone often. She likes to be involved from a distance.

EM: When you’re not at the KinzStyle Outlet, what do you like to do?

PJ: Hang out with you! I also love shopping for clothes at the Mall and searching for a special item or two at the Curio Shop. When I’m at home, I’m usually listening to music, reading magazines or watching TV – I’m a huge fan of all kinds of media!

EM: You’ve always said that you hope to be as successful as Persephone one day. How does your family feel about this career choice?

PJ: You know what? Initially, my dad was kind of…disappointed, I think. He always wanted me to be a lawyer or a doctor or something. My older sister is in medical school, so I guess he figured I’d follow in her footsteps. When I held my first fashion show, though, my dad was SO proud of me. I think he realized how much fashion meant to me. My mom has always been OK with whatever career choice I wanted to make.

EM: We all enjoyed watching you on Kinzville Sings! Earlier this summer. How did it feel when Elwin won the competition?

PJ: To be honest, at first I was really upset. I thought I deserved to win – I tried really hard! But then I realized: Elwin tried hard as well. And if I had become a singer, I would’ve had to put my real dream on hold - to become a fashion designer. So I think things worked out the way they were supposed to. Hailey was telling me that Elwin said touring isn’t exactly what he imagined it would be, so who knows how long he’ll be on the road anyway? I’ll never stop singing, but doing Kinzville Sings! just made me realize how much I want to follow my true passion and to be a successful fashion designer.

EM: Are you ready for five fast questions?

PJ: For sure!

EM: Favorite food?

PJ: Nachos with cheese and salsa and sour cream!

EM: Favorite color?

PJ: It changes with the season! Right now, turquoise is very stylish.

EM: Favorite family member?

PJ: Definitely my mom. I’m closest to her.

EM: Favorite place to vacation?

PJ: Ooh, I’d love to go to East Webkinz World and see all the fashion houses and design studios. And shop! Oh, I think I’d faint if I ever got to go there.

EM: If you had a million KinzCash, you would:

PJ: Put some of it away (there’s my dad talking) and spend the rest on fashion and travel.

EM: And you’d share it with your best friend, right?

PJ: Of course!

PJ Collie here with a fabulous summertime fashion show. Check out these AWESOME styles and tell us who you think is wearing the BEST outfit!

First up, Hailey is wearing a fabulous black dress with pops of neon. Her sunglasses and shoes are bright pink, which works with this vibrant outfit perfectly!

Next, we have Joe. Joe looks super cool in neon green shorts (neon is SO in this season, by the way). His black shirt and shades help to keep the outfit from being TOO bright, and his sandals are a great final touch. Looking good, Joe!

A little summer rain won’t dampen the spirits of Elora! She’s looking seasonally sensational in this long floral dress! The ruffled sandals are perfect for a garden party, and the hat is a fun accessory!

And for a casual summertime look, we’ve got Hank. Hank is decked out in a camouflage hat and shirt. His shorts are a dusty brown, and his runners say “I’m ready for a day in the sun!”

If summertime has you thinking pink, you’ll LOVE Steph’s look! This lovely magenta and orange one piece is super stylish – and very comfy! Neon tinged sandals, a big puffy hat and fun heart-shaped sunglasses all scream SUMMER!

And last (but definitely not least), we have Louise. On a chillier day, having a cardigan handy isn’t just practical – it’s also stylish! Louise paired her cardigan and shirt with a pretty powder blue skirt and white shoes. The whole outfit is topped off with a lovely blue bow.

So friends, tell us what you think! Which model looks best for summer?

Hello, fashionistas! PJ Collie here, excited to give you the scoop on all the coolest fashions of the season.  My rad neighbor Roberta popped in the shop earlier today and was begging for some hints about what’s hot this season. I’ve got so many awesome new pieces in the store that I did a little fashion shoot last week. I showed the pictures to Roberta, and now I want to share them with you!

Plumpy agreed to help out as our first model. From the bright pink of her knit hat to the black lace-up boots, she’s ready for anything winter throws at her!

Next up, meet Rosina. She’s looking stylish and warm in her brightly patterned jacket and chic jeans. The pink hat just makes her outfit pop!

Finally, my friend Ken is looking winter-ready with this fantastic outfit. The blue jacket is SO warm and puffy – Ken said that he would definitely wear it when he went skiing.

Come to the KinzStyle Outlet and check out my new winter line of fashions, friends! You’re going to LOVE them!

This gorgeous princess outfit was super-fun to make – and our little actress loved wearing it!

For a dashing king, there’s nothing quite like a gold crown and matching shoes!

Being a pirate princess isn’t easy – but this outfit made our actress look beautiful – and tough!

See these talented actors and actresses in the play tomorrow night!

It’s PJ Collie. I know you’re used to seeing me in the KinzStyle Outlet, but a little known fact about me is that I am AWESOME at games! That’s why, in my role as Camp Counselor, I am coaching sports and organizing games. We started archery practice this week and the kids are doing really well.

But I’m really excited because I’m planning a big games day at the end of camp. I’m trying to come up with a list of fun games we can play.

I thought a potato sack race would be super fun! Here’s how you play:

-          We’ll put down two long pieces of rope to represent a starting line and a finish line about twenty feet apart

-          At the starting line, each camper climbs into a large burlap sack

-          When I blow the whistle, all the campers start hopping in their sacks toward the finish line

-          Campers have to stay in their bags or they’ll be disqualified

-          The first camper across the finish line wins

I can’t wait to see all the campers hopping and falling on their way to the finish line! It should be hilarious!

Wow! This camper is really in the pink this summer! Pairing a swimsuit top with Faded & Frayed Shorts is a fun way to create a casual summer look. Florescent flip flops pick up some of the colors in the Pink Striped Swimsuit Top. The Pink Newsboy Cap and Funky Girls shades are an adorable way to keep the sun out of her eyes.

This camper is outfoxing the summer heat with a pair of light camo cargo pants. The Cute Cropped Jacket sets off the flowing pants perfectly and a plaid buckle hat coordinates wonderfully with her t-shirt. You’ll flip over her adorable flip flops and when she finishes the look with a stylish pair of White Hollywood Shades, this model is ready for summer fun!

Casual, yet sophisticated, this camper is sporting a preppy combo of a Smart Sweater vest and Cargo pants. A Blue Ball Cap brings a sense of fun to this traditional ensemble and a pair of Moccasins combine comfort and good looks. A Retro Rainbow Belt and a studious looking pair of Eyeglasses complete this summer style.

Denim Romp Wear is the perfect starting point to a refreshing summer look. Camper Cowabelle ramped up the fun quotient of this adorable jumpsuit with a collection of cute pink accessories. The Eggcellent Spring Glasses may be called ‘Spring’ but with their rainbow colors they capture the feeling of the summer season perfectly. A Sequin Cabbie Cap is a sparkling way to add cheekiness and fun and a pair of Ballet Slippers tie the various shades of pinks together and offer comfort and flair.

Recognize our next fab model, readers? That’s right – I asked Hailey and Elwin to drop by for our fashion show and Hailey has gone wild with a Hit the Club Tiger Print Dress! What better way to tame this fierce gown than with an elegant Princess Crown? A pair of Tri Strap Gladiator Sandals and Hollywood Shades are just the touches of glam this get up calls for. All Hail the Queen of Style!

Elwin’s ready to hit the waves, ‘Kinz fans! But he likes to do it in style so he brought some attitude to his Swimming Trunks with a cool Dude Hat and some Trendy Sneakers. The sunlight isn’t going to be the only thing dazzling them at the beach this summer!

This little camper will really make a splash with the Wildflower Swimsuit top and bottom. Her blue Swim Goggles are practical yet set off the colors in her suit swimmingly, and Tri Strap Gladiator Sandals take her summer fashion one step further.  She’s tied it all up with a lovely Blue Bow. What could be cuter?

So I saw PJ today…just in passing. She was running to history class and I was running to biology. As she passed, I handed her this note:

Dear PJ,

I’m so sorry about what happened between us. It’s silly to fight about a party! I think we can compromise – let’s have the party in the park, but let’s not invite so many kids. What do you think? I hope we can work things out. I really miss having my BFF around! Please meet me tomorrow in front of La Soufflé. If you want, we can talk about everything…and share some of Chef Sophia’s delicious chocolate cake.

Hope to see you there.

Your BFF (?)

Ella

Hey pals – it’s me, your favorite Jr. Fashionista – PJ!

I hear my ex-BFF has been writing about our fight on here. Well, let me just tell you something – I’m not the bad guy. I just want to have a GIANT party to celebrate summer. Why not, right? I believe that if you’re going to have a good party, the rule of thumb is the more the merrier! Let’s order fifty pizzas! Let’s get tons of chips and pop and cookies and whatever else Chef Gazpacho can whip up! Let’s make it a night to remember. Sometimes you’ve just got to let loose and have fun. But in Ella’s world, the perfect party is five friends in her basement knitting beige sweaters and watching reruns of the Monkey and Monkey Show.

Ugh. So. Boring!

Anyway, Ella said I needed to stop being ‘crazy’ and ‘grow up’ – as if! She’s just jealous because I’m more popular.  I’m pretty sure this is the end of our friendship – I can’t even think of WHY we were friends in the first place!

So that’s the real story. Just thought I should set the record straight.
