Teens Can Hone Entrepreneurial Skills With Fashion Dress Up Games

You may have thought that playing online games for girls is just about giving fun dressing up an avatar. But fashion dress up games can also be a real entrepreneurial experience. Websites such as GirlSense enable teens and tweens to create their own e-boutiques, where they exhibit and sell clothes that they have created. Everything can be designed with the advanced user interface: the boutique colors, and the clothing styles and patterns. Teens and tweens can sell their designs to other girls for virtual money. Now, with help of a new feature called MarketPlace, girls can buy and sell their personal designs in a virtual auction house. MarketPlace works just like a real auction house: you can bid, view highest and lowest prices, and see the time remaining until the auction ends.

All these features can give teens and tweens a real sense of satisfaction. This is because they are not merely fashion dress up games, but also a real grown-up experience. Furthermore, by creating their own boutiques, girls get to express their own sense of fashion as well as their individuality.

Games for girls are currently very popular with teens and tweens, who enjoy the freshness of the concept, as well as the traditional aspects of playing games. To play fashion dress up games, girls create the design of their choice by dragging and dropping items from the e-boutique selection onto an avatar. To make the whole experience more real, online clothes games, such as those featured on GirlSense, include e-boutiques based on real fashion brands.

Spring Fashion For Plus Size Women

With Winter on the way out, it's time to put those thick cable knit jumpers into storage along with your coats, thick trousers and opaque tights... Spring is on the way, and along with it a selection of the latest new trends and fashions!

For Plus Size women, shopping is nowadays a pleasurable and enjoyable experience, with many high street, online and designer stores offering their fashion ranges up to sizes 20 and beyond, and with specialist clothing designers offering bespoke lines specifically designed to flatter larger figures and show off those curves!

The great thing about Spring fashion is that you can mix lighter items from your Winter wardrobe with key new items for the warmer weather. Try picking up a few key items which can form the basis of a flexible wardrobe. For example, you might wish to splash out on one of the trendy tea dresses or maxi dresses, and team it with one of your Winter cashmere knit cardigans with a belt at the waist to show off your waist. Or try teaming Winter trousers with a lighter top in this season's fresh colours - peach and corals are set to be big this Summer and flatter Winter pale complexions if worn correctly.

Nude colours are also huge this year and look fantastic layered on curvier figures. Team them up with strong statement jewellery pieces - larger figures can really carry off striking looks such as pendants and beads.

If prints are your thing, try dresses with bold aztec or folk prints. Choose well fitting items which skim your curves rather than swamp them. Show off dainty calves with pretty sandals and don't forget detailing - nude nailpolish gives a fresh clean look and well groomed shiny hair will never go out of fashion! Block colours are another key trend - great for tunic tops or longer dresses - and neon brights will look great when teamed with neutrals or deep colours - go for an item such as a top or scarf, rather than all over neon. Marks and Spencer has some great kaftans and tunic tops with the latest fashions such as embellishments, prints and new colours - as do Etam, Dorothy Perkins, Wallis and Debenhams - who also do great concessionary designer lines up to larger sizes.

Getting the foundations right are essential for voluptuous figures, so get properly measured for a well fitting bra - try stores such as Bravissimo which cater specially for larger busts. Control knickers also smooth out any lumps and bumps when wearing close fitting skirts, dresses or trousers.

Online stores such as Marisota are great if you prefer shopping from home. Their lines go up to sizes 32 and they do shoes in larger sizes and wide fits to finish off your new items. Simply Be is another great online plus size store and they currently have some great plus size dresses for Spring including Aztec maxi dresses, grecian ruffled spring dresses and nipped in waisted dresses for a nod to the 50s. You might also want to try 'Curvy Girl' - an online boutique selling the famous tummy tuck jeans which flatten your tummy and lift your behind for a truly knockout look!
