Being A Girly Girl











{June 30, 2009}   The Bachelorette

So is it me or does watching Jillian Harris pick Wes every week get on your nerves also?!

Now I will be the first to admit that having all those men at my disposal would have seemed like a fantasy come true (back in my dating days).  And yes, I am addicted to the Bachelor and Bachelorette on ABC and have been since the first show.  This is the first season, however that I always end up actually shouting at my screen at every rose ceremony when I think she will finally see Wes for who he really is and send him packing.

And then I sit and wonder…..do they edit the show this way?  I am sure that has a lot to do with it, but I think that Jillian really likes this guy and that is why she keeps him around.  I reflect on my dating days and remember when I would go to Clay Walker concerts with my friends.  It seemed when I returned home that evening, I would dream about how some handsome country crooner plucked me out of the audience and sang a song to me and we fell in love and lived happily ever after.  No wonder I never wanted to get up in the morning!!  And then there were the BAD guys that I dated thinking that would be fun and it always ended up being a nightmare.  Bad guys are always a bad choice.  Hopefully Jillian will figure out soon that Wes is only there for shameless self promotion.  That is all fine, Wes, unless you stand the chance to break someones heart.  In that case, you become a piece of brown smelly stuff stuck to the bottom of your cowboy boot!

So Jillian, learn from this Girly Girl…….go for the good guys.  As much as I love a country musician, dump that two-timin’ Wes and stick with the Kiptyn’s of the world.

Ever the old fashioned romantic!  Debra



{June 17, 2009}   Metallic Fabrics

So metallics are back in the news.  Just take a peek at this recent picture of Girly Girl Jennifer Aniston

Why are we enamored with Metallics?  Take a walk back in time and see how metallic fabrics were used……mostly to signify royalty!  They were the only ones who could afford them, after all.  That is what makes metallics so popular; you feel like a million bucks in them!!  Once reserved for the higher echelon of society; thanks to textile mills, now many can look glamorous for smaller amounts of money.

SO don’t be shy…go get something metallic and show the world you are not afraid to look beautiful!



{May 20, 2009}   New Ad
A Girly Girl Boutique

A Girly Girl Boutique

Check out the new ad coming out in the Review Magazine tomorrow in their new special section, Fashion Plate.  The Fashion Plate will also feature a special editorial by Eric.  The model was Sarah K and the photos were shot in Bay City, Michigan.  She was wearing the dress Moore by BB Dakota, and her accessories; hair, makeup, jewelry and purse are also available at A Girly Girl Boutique.



{February 27, 2009}   Designer Fashion

Designer Fashion is everywhere you look.  Sure ladies want to wear awesome womens apparel from great designers and there are many that I like.  I carry BB Dakota at A Girly Girl Boutique for a couple of reasons.

The BB Dakota line is from a great designer, Gloria Brandes who brought sensibility and style to the fashion world.  If you access the BB Dakota website you will see that she states,”the BB Dakota girl has attitude and confidence.”  She continues, “Offering (its) customers “big fashion at small prices” is our mission.”  ““We try to make great fashion more accessible,” she continues.

This explains why since being introduced, or as the website explains it catapulted,  the line has been popular and continues to evolve.  I speak from experience when I say that I have never seen so many ooohs and awwws at designer fashion as when Girly Girls come into my store.  They go from rack to rack exclaiming their thrill at their new finds, BB Dakota and Jack!

So how can you pass up a spectacular sale on the great BB Dakota and Jack inventory on our website?  Well, you can’t if you have any Girly Girl genes in your body!!  Hurry to the online store to get 30% off these great fashions before it’s too late!



{February 19, 2009}   Girly Girl Makeup

My BB Dakota line this Spring/Summer at A Girly Girl Boutique indicates the return of fabulous bright, cheerful color.  Woo wee!  I am so happy.  I love color!

So you may ask, “What makeup do I apply this year to dress for the season?”  It is simple.  Let the color speak for itself!

The makeup you wear should only accentuate the positives, especially during the day.  Fabulously lined eyes and mascara complimented with subtle eye shadows create demure eyes.  A great blush of color and nude, glossy lips complete the look.  The palette you wear will add the rest of the color.  The color should be on your body only, not your face.  This is the most effective way to wear them both well.  Want the total package to look good, follow these tips.  If you wear too much color on both your face and your body, you run the risk of looking a little freaky and that is not a good look for my Girly Girls.  Let your natural beauty shine through and the colors you wear will add the hues!

With that said, if you need some new color palettes for the spring,  look to my website for great makeup lines.  This set is very inexpensive and has everything you need to walk out of the house looking fresh faced and ready to stop in to grab up that new BB Dakota coat you have been wanting for spring.  It’s great and Manilla Yellow!  bb_dakota_jack_darlitaDoes it get any better than that?!



{December 8, 2008}   Holiday Styles

So it is that time of year when in the midst of all the hustle and bustle, we MUST attend certain Christmas parties.  Whether it is the office party or family, you know you want to look fabulous.  I love the holidays because we women look for reasons to get dressed up and this time of year you don’t have to look far!  The fashions this year are so inspired by Christmases past, I absolutely love them!  The fabrics are shimmery and the styling is simple but the statement is very feminine.  I love the floral and jacquard prints!

These dresses from BB Dakota are a case in point.    The Daytonbb_dakota_bloomington                                                                                                                 And The Bloomingtonbb_dakota_dayton1

{October 17, 2008}   Joe The Plumber

God Bless Joe the Plumber from Holland Ohio who inadvertently became a national spokesman for all of us Girly Girls and all of America when he simply asked a question of Sinister Osama….oops, I mean Senator Obama.

Little did Joe, or Samuel J. Wurzelbacher (his given name), know that he would end up the victim of the media and their attempts to smear him.  They are sifting through his background, declaring he is not a real plumber and that he is some sort of bad person because he is divorced and owes taxes?!  WHAT?  That is what happens to many middle class Americans who get divorced….they go through rough times financially.  Who doesn’t know that?  Should he just have taken a page from Bill Ayers and bombed his ex into giving him everything so he could walk away financially set?!

Poor Joe, he just wanted the truth from a person who claims to have all of our best interests at heart and instead he has become a victim of those who are attempting to squash him in the name of Democracy.  Is this the “CHANGE HE NEEDS” from Obama and his Cronies?  I doubt it?

We need to support Joe and the others like him who are putting the truth ahead of personal gain.  We need true heros in this day and age.  If I had the extra money right now, I would send it to him to help pay his taxes.  Keep up the good work, Joe.  Love ya, man!!



As a mother, this issue sickens me.  I have had very few occasions to deal with someone like Casey Anthony, but the few times I did I was astounded.  Pathological liars are truly ugly people.  The pain they inflict on the people around them is astounding.  I would think that once you have dug yourself into a hole so deep, you would want a way out after realizing that your current plan isn’t working.  Instead they create distractions through rage or other poor behavior so they can cover their indiscretions.

Caylee Anthonyjust needs to be laid to rest properly and her mother needs justice served.  I don’t know about my Girly Girls out there but sometimes if I let myself think too much about what may have happened to this poor little defenseless child at her mother’s hands, I get so upset in the pit of my gut.  Crimes against children should be dealt with severely and maybe that would help deter them.

I must also say that I am glad that it seems that the investigators dotted every I and crossed every T in this case so as to make it stick.  May justice be served for this little girl.



{October 9, 2008}   Hugh Hefner Sad?

Poor old bloke!  Hugh Hefner is sad about loosing ONE of his girlfriends.  Some how I find it hard to feel sorry for him.  I have no doubt that he will bounce back quickly and somewhere deep inside I have to wonder if it is just a ploy to help with faltering ratings?  What is your thought?

Seems to me that he survives in an industry where I find it hard to believe that emotions play a bigger role than upward mobility; and I mean that both literally and as a pun!!  Although I would think the only upward mobility he sees without the help of Viagra is lining his bank accounts!!

So Holly Madison gets smart!!  National news?!!  Wow, they must be backing off of Sarah?!!
