Ask Fashion Girl

Dear Fashion Girl,

Dear Fashion Girl,

I live in a really small town, meaning not a lot of fashion options. I try ordering catalogs, but I am never sure which catalog contains the clothes I want. Right now, I am really into the girlie look, skirts to the knee, pink shirts, and stuff like that. What catalog would you suggest for me to order?

Catalog Clueless

Dear Catalog Clueless,

Living in a small town used to mean living with a small selection of stores to shop at. But now with mail-order through the internet and catalogs, a whole new shopping experience exists, and it doesn't matter where you live as long as you have access to a mailbox and a computer. The girlie look that you are into right now is really popular, so you have an abundance of catalogs to choose from! Here are a few of the most recommended.

Definitely one of the best for the girlie look right now is MoXie Girl. They have put together a great idea with their "magalogues." You can order clothing from the catalog section, and read fun articles about fashion, entertainment, and music trends in the magazine section. They offer a great selection of adorable separates. You can request their magalogue by calling 1-888-MOX-STUFF. Be sure to check out their website too at www.mxgonline.com.

At Peach Berserk, you can find unique girlie style clothes with the option of customizing the color and print of fabric. Their fun fashion line ranges from reversible hooded coats to funky jewelry. To order a catalog, call 416.504.1711. Look at their cool, hot-pink interactive site at: www.peachberserk.com where you can shop online.

Delia*s is a new company that is quickly becoming very popular with teens thanks to the hip clothing they sell. You can find capris, baby-doll dresses, cute T-shirts, and more at Delia*s and peruse their trendy website at www.delias.com. To get a catalog, call 1-800-DELIA-NY.

ESPRIT started in the back of a station wagon in San Francisco in 1968 offering only comfortable dresses. Thirty years later, they still make great casual clothes with a recent girlie twist. Shop on their website at www.esprit.com or call 1-800-4-ESPRIT for a catalog.

The girlie look is going strong, so have fun picking out those cute outfits!
