For with each dawn, she found new hope that someday, her dreams of happiness would come – Cinderella
“Bye mommy,” my daughter sing songs, as she heads to the door, purse in hand, dressed in her favorite “it’s a small world” dress. My mother looks at me and comments that she’s a girly girl, just like her mother. While she still very much looks up to her brother, wanting what he has and doing what he does, her own unique personality is beginning to shine through. Just today we were shopping at a store, when she spotted an item with Disney Princesses. “That’s mine, mommy,” she stated matter-of-factly. I have a feeling she’s going to love the classic film about a princess who dreams about a “happily ever after.”
This Fall, Disney will release Cinderella from the vault. The new Blu-ray Diamond Edition Collection will have enhanced picture and sound and a host of bonus features including never-before-seen material, family-friendly interactive activities, games and more. To celebrate this limited re-release of the film, Disney introduced a royal new line of toys, apparel, and jewelry, inspired by Cinderella.
After undergoing a magical transformation (aka a glamorous Hollywood makeover), we headed to the Gordon Ramsey Restaurant at the London Hotel for a Cinderella Showcase Reception and Dinner! Dressed in a short summer INC dress, I donned the exquisite Cinderella rhinestone necklace I received in the suite where we were made over.
The necklace is part of a new, inspired collection with a design that is symbolic of Cinderella’s carriage. The collection includes earrings and a bracelet, and is available primarily at Alfred Angelo stores across the country.
If you’ve ever dreamed of a Disney Fairy Tale Wedding, you’ll love Alfred Angelo’s princess-inspired dresses as well as Kate Aspen’s enchanted collection of wedding favors and gifts.
There are three Cinderella-inspired bridal gowns, but this one is my favorite:
All the bride-to-be needs is a pair of Arriba’s Brothers’ Crystal Glass Slippers!
For little girls, like my daughter, Disney is introducing a host of Cinderella-themed toys, apparel, accessories, and shoes. During our magical dinner, we were treated to a fashion show where we saw everything from tees and shoes to dress-up gowns. Here are a few photos, showcasing the latest products:
This particular tee is actually being sold at Old Navy, which is the first time I’m hearing about their partnership with Disney. The shirt is made well and offered at an affordable price ($12.94). You can also visit the Disney Store for a more comprehensive assortment of Cinderella tees for adults and children.
Stride Rite has also partnered with Disney to offer a variety of stylish, Cinderella-inspired shoes. From sparkly tennis shoes and flats to cozy, jeweled boots, little girls will love the new collection that brings a little twinkle to their toes. Be sure to visit your local Stride Rite between September 26th and October 31st for a Stride Rite Princess Shoe Fit Experience and a chance to win a Fairy Tale Premiere in your hometown.
Halloween is just around the corner, and I imagine there will be many a princess knocking on our door this Fall. Target and Toys R Us will carry a Cinderella Magical Lights Dress that lights up with movement.
Along with the October 2nd release of Cinderella, Disney will also release Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure for Wii, DS, and PC/MAC. Stay tuned for more information as we get closer to the release date.
No compensation was received for this post. I attended a media event and was provided products to review.
