I am very much of a "Tom Boy." How can I become more "girly" without feeling uncomfortable?

My style is very casual and comfy for me. The typical T-Shirt and jeans kinda girl. I love being comfy in my own clothes, but all my girlfriends are way more girly than i am. When I look at myself I feel like I'm too "manly" in what i wear. I want to be more girly, but I just don't feel comfortable in all those girly clothes. What can I do to be more girly??

Answer
hey. you don't wanna become girly all of a sudden, so just gradually add girly stuff to your outfit. but please make sure you like it, otherwise it will only look awkward on you.

first try wearing a cute necklace. it doesn't have to be full on pepto-bismol pink =]

start from wearing t-shirts, to v-necks

i used to be a tom boy too. a lot of people begin growing out of that stage in middle school. its really all about transition. you can't suddenly go from tom boy to glam girl without people noticing and being uncomfortable. wear what you like, and jeans are always perfect. they're still my fav =]

i hope i helped

What to get niece and nephew for Christmas?

Penny Lane

My niece is 18, my nephew is 15.
What would be the best gifts for teenagers. I know Jake (nephew) is into skateboarding. Jess (niece) shopping and the like.
I don't want to resort to just gift cards or money.

Answer
For your 18-year-old niece:

Nick and Nora pajamas/slipper socks from Target--they come in many cute styles.

Philosophy body wash: http://www.sephora.com/browse/brand_hierarchy.jhtml?brandId=3866&categoryId=C570

cashmere gloves

a nice hooded sweater

cute cell phone case

For nephew:

skateboarding calendar http://www.amazon.com/Vans-Skateboarding-2007-Calendar/dp/0977723003/sr=8-2/qid=1166462810/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/103-1613625-1212665?ie=UTF8&s=books

new Tony Hawk video game, if he's into video games and doesn't have it yet, or another video game.

VANS sneakers

subscription to a skateboarding magazine

ipod shuffle ($80) if he doesn't have an ipod--and if he doesn't have any mp3 player, you can get decent ones for about $50 that just don't have that much memory on them.

food-what teenage boy doesn't like food? Put together a gift of teen craveables-individual cups of EASY MAC, beef jerky, cocoa, sports drink, Pop tarts, etc. Add a Pizza Hut gift card. Wrap it all up in a reusable rubbermaid.

a new, cool backpack

or a hip messenger bag: http://www.amazon.com/Manhattan-Portage-Bag-Medium-Red/dp/B00013ZJNO/sr=8-1/qid=1166464807/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-1613625-1212665?ie=UTF8&s=apparel
http://www.amazon.com/rtc2277-Two-Pocket-Shoulder-Olive/dp/B0002225UO/sr=8-4/qid=1166465131/ref=pd_bbs_4/103-1613625-1212665?ie=UTF8&s=apparel

If you want, you can fill the bag--put gum in the pockets, a hooded sweatshirt from a store American Eagle in the main area, a CD in one of the other compartments--whatever your budget allows. (You can also fill it with cheaper stuff, like pens, food (see above), playing cards, etc.

And if you're not totally opposed to gift cards, you can give them each a few gift cards inside a new wallet or card holder. Fossil has really cute wallets that aren't very expensive for both boys and girls.
