@legallyginger, i really dont think that karasinski, was whining (to me it sounded like YOU just wanted something 2 complain about : /) she was just giving her opinion. and when she said fancey i think she just meant the necklaces and earrings. you dont hav to knock her down just because she gave her opnion.

Honestly, we don't "need" these accessories to look amazing in a bikini. Don't you want girls to feel amazing the way they are? Because the way the society is today, nothing will make a girl look amazing except for the bikini and herself. Nothing should be accessories, accessories, accessories 24/7. It shouldn't be makeup makeup makeup 24/7 either. Girls might disagree, but that's the message you want to send out--I am positive--and to me, it looks like you are sending it out the wrong way.

 

Hey chica!  We're positive here at GL, too.  Accessories are fun ways to change up a bikini so that one bikini can look different for different occasions. We want girls to be comfortable in your own skin, but we also want girls to have fun with accessories, clothes, and makeup.  Girls may not need anything extra to look amazing, but it doesn't mean they can't have fun and dress themselves up a little if they want to.

Are there any new cool braids for the sumer? thx!




Hey girl!

My personal favorite is the fish tail braid. It's so pretty for by the pool or with a more dressed up outfit, and it's way more interesting looking than a regular braid!
