This summer, open up her inner girly-girl with some feminine fashions. This look is all about feminine patterns and sunny colors. Think florals, mosaics, soft plaids and other classic, patterns. The silhouette is flowing and soft, with details such as rushing, tie-back waists, lettuce edging and possibly even a ruffle or two. This is a beautiful look for girls.

Tunics
This old-fashioned top is really making a big impact this season. These quaint tops are comfy, casual and look adorable on girls of all ages. Look for tunics with extra details such as over-embroidery, ruffle trim, front pockets and patchwork prints. Toss a tunic over a pair of skimmers, bermuda shorts, tights or even an old pair of jeans and she's got a great, chic look for Spring and Summer 2009.

Girly Dresses
The dress is back and it's better than ever. For spring, choose a sleeveless or shortsleeved dress and top it off with a cardigan or hoody. In summer, skip the hoody. Go for dresses in warm, cheerful colors like red, yellow and orange. Finish her look off with some sandals, flip-flops or ballet flats and she's as pretty as a picture.
