Play With Me: Dolls for Big Girls

History

Recently, dolls used to be only dolls. Small girls (and sometimes boys as well) played with them, until they became older. Afterwards, they were not children anymore, that’s why dolls were thrown away and left alone. These dolls hold little appeal to them now. Everything has changed with the appearing of the 1st Barbie girl, it turned the world upside down. We began: “Think Pink!”. We fell in love with her at the 1st sight and still can’t find the remedy.

Really, she is beautiful, slim, and attractive, she has everything she wants and no matter the event, Barbie girl always looks stunning. Most designers in a very quick way have realized how profitable it is. And they started creating their own variants of Barbie-dolls.

Actually, they are not simply dolls anymore. They are cool dolls, cool and extremely expensive toys, nobody plays with them, most people buy such dolls in order to show them to their friends and to feel proud, that they are capable of spending more than $300 to buy a single doll.

Dear fashion-lovers, 3 cool dolls are to your attention and we start from Barbie, she deserves it.

  • Barbie dolls

    The first Barbie-doll was created in 1959, the American business woman – Ruth Handler considered to be its creator. Design of dolls was inspired by a doll from Germany – Bild Lilly. Barbie dolls had incredible market success and only in recent years they faced the music – competitors – Bratz dolls.

    History

    Ruth had a young daughter – Barbara who while playing with her dolls, adored giving them adult roles. Most toys were made in the form of infants. In 1956 Ruth made a trip to Germany and there met a doll - Bild Lilli, this doll was not a child, she had a body of a young woman and children were gaga over dressing it. So, after returning to the USA Ruth designed her own doll, her husband worked at the Mattel Toy Company and on March 9, 1959 Barbie was born. Her full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts.

    Barbie is not a doll, it is a cultural icon, possessing many honours and awards (as a toy).

    Controversies

    Barbie doll became an idol, an example to follow for most girls-teenagers; they want to look like she looks, to behave the same as she behaves and to be as slim as she is. And they never care about the aftermaths.

    In slang Barbie-girl means a shallow and not interesting, even stupid girl. Also Barbie was criticized for promoting an unrealistic idea of constitution, thus, pushing girls to anorexia. And in 1997 the waist of a doll was redesigned in order to suit contemporary requirements.

Black colour slowly but very confidently penetrates into all spheres of our lives: cars, clothes, tiles, walls, apparel, accessories and even makeup. Black clothes make you look elegant, stylish, slim. Black makeup tells everybody that your  are 1) a hot women 2) very brave one. Today, forget about black cats and all these awful beliefs regarding them, gone are the days, when black was solely a colour of  evil. Now, most people choose:

  • sunglasses. No matter the event, you always look irresistible. Have you ever heard that dark sunglasses at fashion shows are accepted, if not expected? Sounds strange and you are still in disbelief?  Look at this picture, seeing in believing. Thanks to The 16 Diaries and their article Sunglasses Inside - Hot or Not?

A lot was said and written about kisses. But no one still definitely knows the origin of the kiss and even less people know, that we burn nearly 26 calories in a 1-minute kiss, in Ireland in order to be lucky you have to kiss the Blarney Stone and many other fascinating stories regarding kisses. But ChicStories for sure knows, how to make your lips irresistible.

This week among main contributors to widen our horizons and deepen our knowledge was Couture In The City Blog. They told us a lot about a new secret weapon that makes our lips sexy, glossy and so attractive. Hot Beauty Swag: Celebrity Sexy Lip Plumper. Hurray, we can forget about all these scalpels, operations and etc.

For many years apparel from Gucci is synonymous with glamour and stylish appeal.  It goes without saying, that wearing Gucci you are fashionable and possess excellent taste. Gucci offers the most wanted things and accessories, that  are the best signs of luxury and class as well. The story of Gucci started in 1921 and Gucci horsebit hobo handbag since then Gucci turned into flourishing and successful Italian brand in the world of fashion. 

As for me, Gucci handbags are one of the most popular items in Gucci collections. They are recognizable, reliable, comfortable, stylish and of high quality. The only one problem,  there are hundreds of handbags, so it may be extremely hard to choose the one for you. After sleepless nights of choosing, clicking the pages and thinking I found 2 handbags I like the most. The 1st one is Gucci Horsebit Hobo Handbag. Actually, not because it sells the best and considered to be the most demanding Gucci handbag, and not because many celebrities have chosen it as their absolute favorite, but ’cause it is really stylish and eye-catching.

Description:

This nice Gucci Hobo Bag is a medium shoulder one with double braided straps and unique GG fabric with a trim from white leather and gold accessories. What is more, it is so convenient inside with the main area and zippered pockets. It costs approximately $500. Oh, it looks amazing!

Gucci messenger bag The next bags I liked - Gucci Messenger Bags. These bags are ideal for those who are always on the go: with such bags you can easily transport all the necessary things from one place to another. Messenger bags are not a privilege of students alone, business professionals, stylish ladies, most people like them and choose them. They are a prefect combination of style and usefulness. Some messenger bags are made up from a waterproof vinyl fabric, like a raincoat but for your things!

But, it goes without saying, that you can choose any Gucci handbag you want. It was just my choice. All Gucci bags are really worth your attention.

Sequins are masterfully conquering the world. They are everywhere: on dresses, T-shirts, bags, shoes, jewelry, accessories… The best designers and fashion guru use them. They add pizzazz to any look, so…

Christmas sequin dresses

Sequins are special beads used for decorative purposes, they vary in sizes and shapes, have a wide range of colours. They are still used in some cultures in a form of coins. But modern sequins are made mostly from plastic, very often they are called: diamantes, spangles or the most widely-used paillettes.

A woman, it is so nice to be a woman. In such a case the world is turning under your feet, you are bright and charming, possessing a lot of admirers. They are standing on their knees in front of you and give you everything you want: flowers, candies, prestigious cars and resorts, haute couture apparel, amazing fragrances and expensive jewelry… It is just so nice to be a woman.

Well, jewelry. It can be different, it can be perfect and bright, expensive and not very, but be sure, it can make a Queen out of a Cinderella. Any woman likes various rings, ear-rings, necklaces. So, if you already have a man that has a strong resemblance to Brad Pitt and the same budget as Arabian sheikh, please, view the following information…

Problems with ear-rings and rings choosing are so familiar to me. Very often your favourite ring doesn’t go with this necklace or ear-rings and this skirt is impossible to wear with another ring. Seems like a dead-lock? Not any more, thanks to Couture In The City Blog. There I found an amazing solution - cocktail rings, oh, they are so stylish. This ring makes your hand attractive and worth looking at. It will draw attention of the publicity. What is more, it is perfect with almost any ear-rings, ’cause it makes you look elegant and stylish. Forget about old-fashioned small rings, choose this one - big and bright!

Kelly Carlson Chanel cocktail ring

On Fabsugar I found a perfect couple to my future cocktail ring - a stylish and a little bit vintage necklace from JBalducci Jewelry collection. It looks usual, but will be perfect with a cocktail ring. Because it is small, elegant and will draw attention without making emphasize exceptionally on your neck.

Now, please, remember the statistic data about supremodels. Most of them are women. Beautiful, powerful and touching women. Heidi Klum is one of them and her taste is really exquisite. On Fashion-O-Lic I found pictures of Heidi together with amazing jewelry. She looks miraculous while posing to the magazine. I just adore this black necklace and also it is a perfect alternative if your man is not a sheikh at all. View more photos with Heidi.

The following ring is only for extremely rich men and their women. Hopefully, I have never seen the window-case, where stands this Mr. Big. I am not a criminal but this ring can work wonders and evils. It shines like a sun and looks like a present from fortune. Of course, I can tell you, that I don’t want one, but deep in my soul I know that I want it so much… pay attention - white gold and ceramic ring by Bulgari. By the way, the photo of Mr. Big.

And the last thing I would like to mention and may be you would like to have. Bright stones and big stones in jewelry. They are exuberant, bold and will make your ears in the center of attention. The following jewelry is so glamorous. Why not - Swarovski crystals dangling from your ears! Oh, I love it! By the way, it is one of the hottest trends of the Fall 2007.

Swarovski ear-rings

And, finally, the last thing - it is so nice to be a woman, don’t you think so?
