How-to Be "Girly" - as requested
So a GSBian requested someone write a blog about being "girly". By all means, I'm not the most "girly" girl ever. But I guess I do have a sense. And, also, note that this blog will probably be very broadly written and on the borderline of stereotypical (or, just flat-out is).
How to be Girly
What you will need: (All are basically optional. I don't know how to put it any other way.) We will go into greater detail of the objecsts later.
- Clothes (Obviously, we don't wanna run around naked...unless you're into that type of thing. :])
- Make up
- Hair Straightener (Optional: bobby pins)
Clothes
Talk about a general title. As you probably noticed most "girly" girls wear clothes from Hollister, American Eagle, Abercrombie and Fitch, etc.So, buy your SHIRTS there. Buy jeans/pants elsewhere! Personally, I think they're overpriced at those stores. While you can still buy them if you have the money, I prefer to buy them at cheaper stores. Also, although not essential, jeans skirts are always a plus. I usually don't wear any, because along with winter...my tan left. :]
Make Up
Basically all you need is: foundation that matches your skin tone, eyeshadow (NOT overly dramatic colors: i.e. neon green), eyeliner, mascara, and a sheer shade of lipgloss. Tips: Don't put heavy eyeliner on! Put a bit on your waterline and you'll be just fine. I can't explain to you how to do all the make up, just experiment until you find something you like.
Hair
Straight hair isn't essential, but it's always a plus. Straighten your hair in layers so you will have more volume (if available, use heat spray that will a. make your hair ever straighter and b. protect your hair from frying) and more likely to get ALL of your straight. Optional: bobby pins. Lately, I've noticed many girls have been pinning their bangs back with bobby pins. Also, you can't go wrong with a simple ponytail.
Now, these are NOT the only ways to be "girly", just a broad set of ideas.

yeah hollister is clearly the best
oh and people should make note that you have to layer with their stuff. it just doesn't work otherwise

I could never be anything like that, Went through that stage in a light phase. totally not me xD

yep it's broad but kinda cute x]
as for where I live, we don't have those stores. "girly" girls here probably shop at Orsay, Pimpkie and Telly Weijl (or however you spell that o_O). But actually everyone can be girly somehow. Girls can shop at punk shops and still seem girly. I think H&M has something for everyone.
anyways I loooooooooooove being girly. ^.^ I love to make my hair and make up look pretty and I buy all those cute things and stuff. But what's girly anyways? There's more behind "girly" than just the look. It's the whole attitude.
but ya cool blog, do some more research and stuff and you could make it into an amazing big style-guide-like blog ^_^

I looveloveeloveeee being girly.
But I do it very differently. Floaty cothes, soft colours, soft looking hair.. I think it's all about looking sweet, soft and cute.
^.^

I love straightening my hair. Its a pain-in-the-rump, though.
Every once and a while I put my hair into french braids before i go to bed and take them out in the morning. I drown myself in hairspray and then finger-comb it. I also curl my bangs under a smidgen to they're not all WHOOMP-sticking-straight-out. Its really.. uhh pretty?
I'm new at this girly thing. I used to be all .. "eff the world, bite me, suck my male nether-regions."
