This shoe is great because it gives you the flexibility and the support needed when working out.</span><br />

Try a pair of<a href="http://www.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikewomen/en_US/commerce?p=PDP&pid=361313&pgid=337231&cid=101101#/?ll=en_US&ct=US&pid=337232&cid=1&pgid=337231&p=PDP"> Nike Free XT</a>, and not only will you love the way they feel, but you will also love the way they look!

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You will also get great traction for when you are headed outdoors to get a nature walk or run in. A featured technology that is listed on Nike's site about this shoe is "Flywire." Personally, I have never heard about it before, but after reading about it, I love the shoe even more.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><em>"<strong>Flywire helps provide ultra-lightweight support and comfort for your foot. It gets its strength from thin Nylon fibers strategically placed on the upper of the shoe to hold the foot in place, helping to reduce slippage during activity. This allows for a massive reduction in weight because material is used only where it’s needed for structure</strong>." ~</em><strong>NIKE</strong></span><br />

It is not always easy. Many times, if you want to have a super trendy shoe, that usually meant you had to withstand pain as well. Is that really necessary?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TTY3FcfZjcI/AAAAAAAAA5E/w8tcjUvL5oQ/s1600/a_logo.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" n4="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TTY3FcfZjcI/AAAAAAAAA5E/w8tcjUvL5oQ/s1600/a_logo.gif" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I believe that every woman should have the right to have many shoes. Yes, <strong>SHOES</strong>! I love them, and there are always so many to choose from when shopping. Lets start with flats. You should always have a few pairs of flats in your closet. They are always perfect to slip on and look great with everything!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Aerosoles has two pair of flats that we love. They are great to slip on with jeans, and your feet will love them. The <a href="http://www.aerosoles.com/product1.asp?P=TEASHOP">Teashop Flats</a> are great in the <em>Brown Fabric</em> and <em>Black Leather</em>, and are on sale for only<strong> $29.99</strong> from <strong>$59.00</strong>! That is a great deal!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TTYwJmPuE0I/AAAAAAAAA4o/ygqqJ_hYkyE/s1600/040.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" n4="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TTYwJmPuE0I/AAAAAAAAA4o/ygqqJ_hYkyE/s320/040.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Instead of throwing on a pair of sneakers, grab these pair of flats in <em><strong>black, red, or blue</strong></em> to be comfortable all day long.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Another one of our favorites are the <a href="http://www.aerosoles.com/product1.asp?P=TEDDYBEAR">Teddy Bear boots</a>.

I think of a great company who sells cleaning products that are safe for the environment, as well as for the people who use them. There are many cleaning products on the market, but when I have to choose, <em>Eco-friendly</em> is definitely a benefit that sways my decision.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.ecocleanscandinavia.com/index.html">Eco Clean</a>, <em>an indigenous Denmark, non-toxic cleaning collection is made from pure, Danish ingredients</em>.

It was horrible. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">If you are an adult, you can rush right out to get medicine to help with your head cold. However, if you are a young child who is coughing, has a runny or stuffy nose, doctors do not like to prescribe medicine. Your little one may not sleep well, but you can do a few things to help them to close their little eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">One item that is great in this situation is the <a href="http://www.kaz.com/kaz/humidifiers/products/vicks-starry-night-cool-moisture-humidifier-v3700/">Vicks Starry Night Humidifier</a>. Do not worry, your little one will not be afraid of this humidifier, because the built-in projector will give off a star show that will put your little one to sleep after gazing at their ceiling. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TTXQeA5e9XI/AAAAAAAAA4U/JRYI0B216SA/s1600/f565024158f21854744fe334c91c59c8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TTXQeA5e9XI/AAAAAAAAA4U/JRYI0B216SA/s1600/f565024158f21854744fe334c91c59c8.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">My son has asthma like symptoms, and has to have medication through a nebulizer every night. We have always been told that having a humidifier would be great to keep in his room. During the winter humidifiers are great to have to help keep the air at a comfortable humidity.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The <em><strong>Academy of Pediatrics</strong></em> recommends using a cool mist humidifier during the winter months to help relieve congestion and coughs for youngsters.The humidifiers will help relieve nasal and chest congestion. New research also shows that homes that are kept at <strong>40-60%</strong> relative humidity can help reduce the survival of the flu virus on surfaces and in the air. That is amazing!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I know that time for me has begun again, and I am always in search for the cutest items for my daughter and son. Paying less does sometimes mean that you will have to end up buying more in the long run because the quality does not compare.</span></div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">The products are inspired by the success of the Chandelier Shine nail polishes. There are <em>12 new ultra glossy lip glosses</em> that come in a matching pack. You will look fabulous with this set. Your nails will look great and your lips will love the gloss. I have always been more of a fan of lip gloss rather than lipstick. Not all lip glosses are that great. They may be too sticky, or messy, and do not enhance your lips. The <a href="http://www.napoleonperdis.com/US/Home.aspx">Napoleon Perdis</a> lip gloss is great, and you can always take on the go to keep applying when needed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: large;">You can choose from <em>soft French Pink</em> to the dark hues of <em>Moroccan Velvet</em> and <em>Santorini Sunset</em>. The lip gloss helps to keep that moisture in, which is very important, and has the benefit of<strong> marine collagen</strong> which is a lip repairing ingredient. You will love the nail polish as well since it has <strong>chip free technology</strong> as well as the <strong>UV protectors</strong> prevent yellowing. Want to try it out for yourself?

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It is the beginning of the year, and what are you planning? Are you expecting or do you have any plans on having a little one in your future? Or maybe you a little one, and are looking for the right place to find those necessities for him/her. Well, we found a place that you will love!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Kushies has a variety of products. You can find crib bedding, outerwear, toys, layettes, bibs, diaper bags, and if you prefer organic, they have you covered. I feel that having a little toy for your little one is a must. They may not be able to hold it, but if you can hang something on their car seat they would love it. Once they are able to hold onto toys, Kushies Zolo Toys are great.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">One of my favorites is the <a href="http://www.kushiesonline.com/Stacrobats-Magnetic-Stacking-Acrobats-p/80013.htm">Stacrobats Magnetic Stacking Acrobats</a>. They are easy to attach, and will stick to one another in a variety of ways. Your little one will play for hours with this and never get bored. The item is $55.99, and helps your little one to begin playing independently, and using their imagination to play. They will think of new ways to put the acrobats together, and will be amazed at what they did!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TS2ysgz657I/AAAAAAAAA28/T_UxyzhEANM/s1600/80025-2T.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TS2ysgz657I/AAAAAAAAA28/T_UxyzhEANM/s320/80025-2T.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

This item sells for $119.99, and is great for ages starting at newborn and older. The product has soft toys, and four interchangeable toys to keep them busy. This item encourages stimulation, imagination, creative thinking and more! It will last a long time as your little one grows.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What type of face products do you use? Do you look for a product that will help with oil, or one that can help to prevent blemishes. When you go to a store, the amount of brands that there are can be overwhelming. You could stand in front of the same aisle for a half an hour or more. Is it worth it?</span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Well many women and men have turned to other sources. You see the ads for products that claim to help with any facial need you may have, but you will only know when you spend the initial payment of $19.95 and $19.95 for every other month after. I personally do not want to have to make that commitment for a face cleanser.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TSz-xnjw-EI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/svgmZl0JIGU/s1600/100-00158-000_dt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" n4="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TSz-xnjw-EI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/svgmZl0JIGU/s320/100-00158-000_dt.jpg" width="224" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The <a href="http://www.h2oplus.com/category/skin+care/oasis+oil+free+hydration.do?nType=1">Oasis Oil-Free collection</a> has a variety of products that can fit your needs.

I love to decorate. I love searching online and getting fab ideas about how to improve an area of my home. Our Modern Home Upgrade started with Brizo and Blanco, and we have introduced another company. You may know them, Shaw Floors? I am sure that name rang a bell!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Shaw Floors recently launched a new collection of carpet, which is a must-have in any home! I do have to be honest, I was almost ready to completely rip put every single piece of carpet thread in my home, but after coming face to face with their new styles, I knew what was going to happen next.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now, even though I do blog about must-haves, and giveaways, and ways to spruce up your home, I will be featuring home products as well. I did expand, and created Chic Style Modern Home, but then I had a thought. Why should I make my readers go back and forth, back and forth? I know I would get irritated. So I am bringing everything to you, all in one place!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am super excited for this year, and what I will be doing and the companies I will be featuring. I am on a kick again of decorating homes again, so plan on seeing many new things!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

We have a fabulous </span><a href="http://www.brizo.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">Brizo </span></a><span style="font-size: large;">Faucet from the <em><strong>Venuto collection</strong></em> that is great to have in any kitchen. In this upgrade, our focus was around the faucet and the sink. Here at Chic Style Modern we wanted to show how something so simple can make a big impact. <strong>Brizo</strong> has fabulous and elegant products for every home, and really makes the room complete with the sleekness and sophistication of their products. The touch capabilities are another wonderful incentive because you can simply touch the faucet to turn the water on and off. For anyone who is constantly in their kitchen, investing in a faucet will pay off in the end.</span><br />

They have a sink for any style you are looking for. You can choose from stainless steel or silgranit. They have several collections that vary in price and are a great fit for any kitchen. A kitchen sink is also a very important part of a kitchen, and you should not go cheap when choosing one.

</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I was so excited when I was able to get a chance to feature such an exhilarating and fun fitness program. The results that you will get are amazing, and you will have fun along the way of dancing your body away and toning every part of it. You will look forward to doing it, and will stay motivated to be on routine with your workouts.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Do you take <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.zumba.com/">Zumba</a> classes</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">? </span>If you have not had the chance to <a href="http://www.zumba.com/">Zumba</a> then you need to start now! I have had the chance to <b>Zumba</b> for a few months now, and the results are fantastic! I feel toned, and I do not dread each and every workout. My favorite of the entire set of Zumba DVDs would be the ab workout. I have always searched for an ab workout that would not kill me. I know, sounds crazy right? I just though, why should I have to kill my back every single time. I feel like I am doing the crunches correctly, but I still feel like I am straining myself. With <b>Zumba</b> abs, I can now dance my abs to a new flat tummy! I look forward to <b>Zumba</b> each and everyday!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The <a href="http://www.zumba.com/">Zumba </a>program is a fitness workout that has a variety of music, including Latin and other rhythms that will keep you moving. You will have a blast! Can you believe there are 7 and a half million <b><i>Zumb</i></b><i><b>a</b></i> enthusiasts in over <i>105 countries</i>? You do now! Doesn't that make you want to know what you are missing? You are burning calories and losing that unwanted weight while dancing and grooving to urban music. You are doing this by combined interval training that goes along with the beat of the music, and there is also resistance training that will help to tone and sculpt.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Alberto "Beto" Perez </span>has created this program to get toned, and stay toned, all while having fun and dancing to some great music.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

There is no better time than now! Set that New Years resolution and get toned and fit. Or you can go to a local gym, community center, or other fitness place and they will have a Zumba instructor there to get you dancing and moving those hips. You will have a ton of fun, and you will love the results. I cannot stress that enough! Staying with a exercise routine will also give you more energy, and it could also help to lead a less-stressful life. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Let's start the new year off right! Get only the best utensils from<a href="http://draft.blogger.com/"><span id="goog_1215951855"></span><span style="font-size: large;"> Le Creuset<span id="goog_1215951856"></span></span></a>, and they will last and stand up to any job in the kitchen! I like to bake, and when I go to scrape the bowl with a spatula, it can be rather irritating when the top part comes off in the bowl! All I ever wanted was a utensil that can scrape the remainder of the ingredients out of the bowl, and now I have found them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Did you know that included in "Oprah's Ultimate Set," that is listed on Le Creuset, she loves the Medium Spatula and the Spatula Spoon? She does! Even better, you do not have to hide these stylish utensils away in a drawer. Save that drawer space for something else and let your Le Creuset utensils stand out for everyone to see.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TR9o8bx4wXI/AAAAAAAAA1A/PtlED4lnETA/s1600/Spatula_Spoon_holding_dry_goods.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" n4="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TR9o8bx4wXI/AAAAAAAAA1A/PtlED4lnETA/s640/Spatula_Spoon_holding_dry_goods.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I am a fan of all of the <strong>Revolution Utensils</strong>. They are the most recent items released from their utensil line, and they come in colors of blue and orange. The wooden handle has an <em>elliptical shaping</em> that is the entire length of the handle, and helps to prevent resistance and rotation while mixing. <a href="http://www.lecreuset.com/">Le Creuset</a> also states another feature of these utensils is the <em>push/pull handle design</em>, which increases control and provides a tactile stop while pushing or pulling with the utensil. They also state how the utensils have a <em>signature grip ring</em> that also helps to provide additional control.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The silicone heads are constructed very well and help to make mixing and stirring easier. You can use these utensils in high heat as well, and they will stand up to the test. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the <strong><span style="font-size: large;">Revolution collection</span></strong>, there is the <em><strong>Small, Medium, and Large Spatula</strong></em>. There is the <em><strong>Jar Scraper, the Spatula Spoon, and the Revolution Basting Brush</strong></em>. The set makes any kitchen complete.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can buy the set at many online retailers that are listed on<span style="font-size: large;"> Le Creuset. </span><span style="font-size: small;">Or.... you could try winning a set!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Sometimes it is a little bit easier to stay in the comfort of your own home when you have little ones. One place I came across in 2010 was <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.spinmaster.com/">Spinmaster</a>. </span><span style="font-size: small;">Spinmaster has several featured brands that I am sure you have heard of; <strong><em>Mighty Beans, Zoobles, Air Hogs, Bakugans, and Liv</em></strong>. You can enter Liv World and check out the five girls; <strong><em>Sophie, Katie, Alexis, Daniela, and Hayden</em></strong>. These dolls show fashion, and are teenage girls that are all about style and being cool. They are all friends, so go ahead and collect the entire collection to share with your friends.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TR6XJgZHfFI/AAAAAAAAA0k/e6Nm9V9Wwok/s1600/Liv-Dolls.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TR6XJgZHfFI/AAAAAAAAA0k/e6Nm9V9Wwok/s320/Liv-Dolls.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Another company that I fell in love with was <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.alextoys.com/">Alex Toys</a>. </span><span style="font-size: small;">Their items are fun and educational. <strong><em>"ALEX's mission is to provide children with quality creative products that foster personal expression and build self-esteem.

Set aside a <em>craft time</em> with your child so that they can learn from you, and have fun while they are doing so. Their <a href="http://www.alextoys.com/product/132748/1420/_/Goodtime_Craft">Good Time Crafts</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">is only <strong>$29.99</strong>, and your children can create<em> fun masks</em> and <em>hats</em> out of plates and cups.

If I had to choose, I usually go to Costco or Target the most. How could I not? At Target, you have your clothing, where you can find some stylish pieces! You also can get some of your grocery shopping done, as well as toys.

The little ones were too young to write a list, but they made it certain what their little hearts desired. If you have children that are older, I am sure you received their two-page list, or more... but there were probably some items on that list that you could actually get for under the tree.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><em>What were some items that were great or are still great to get for your little ones you may ask</em>? <strong><span style="font-size: large;">We would love to share</span></strong>!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://shop.lego.com/Default.aspx?shipto=us&LangId=2057">LEGO</a> has a wide variety of toys that are educational and fun for your little ones. They have been around since I was little, and have always been a hit with all the kids. My nephew loves to play with the <a href="http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Department.aspx?d=322">Star Wars</a> and <a href="http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Department.aspx?d=342">Harry Potter</a> collections from <strong>LEGO</strong>. There is a Lego for everyone, and for every age.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TR58IxytTWI/AAAAAAAAA0E/dzsgrr47jN8/s1600/5497_LEGO_DUPLO_Play_with_Numbers.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="254" n4="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TR58IxytTWI/AAAAAAAAA0E/dzsgrr47jN8/s320/5497_LEGO_DUPLO_Play_with_Numbers.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">One item that is great to have because it is educational is the<a href="http://shop.lego.com/product/?p=5497&LangId=2057&ShipTo=US"> DUPLO Play with Numbers</a>. You can buy for only<strong> $24.99</strong>, and is great for the<strong><em> preschool age</em></strong>. My son <strong>LOVES</strong> it, and being 2-years old, I do not have to worry about the pieces because they are larger. The different colors allows him to learn his colors as well as numbers that are on the <strong><em>Lego </em></strong>pieces. The set comes with child and cat figures, wagon, window and base. They will build for hours, and can learn their numbers <strong>1-10</strong> while doing so. The set has <span style="font-size: large;">five stars</span>, and has also received the <strong><em>National Parenting Seal of Approval</em></strong>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TR6ETOeGStI/AAAAAAAAA0I/sFRFNpFafSA/s1600/3862-0000-xx-12-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" n4="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TR6ETOeGStI/AAAAAAAAA0I/sFRFNpFafSA/s1600/3862-0000-xx-12-1.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another hot item from<strong> LEGO</strong> is the The <a href="http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Product.aspx?p=3862&cn=671&d=342">Harry Potter Hogwarts game</a>.

I would have to say that <a href="http://www.americangirl.com/index.php">American Girl</a> has still been able to be on of the favorites for little girls. I know my daughter is always talking about them, and I have a few girls in my neighborhood who are in<strong> LOVE</strong> with them, and could tell you the name of each doll and what accessory goes with them. It is amazing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">The <a href="http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/set/id/1420/uid/517">American Girl doll</a> that my daughter has fallen in love with is one of their most recent dolls. She has<em> light skin with freckles, brown hair, and blue eyes</em>. Her outfit is adorable, and is something that I could see dressing my daughter in! You can still buy <em>extra outfits</em> and <em>accessories</em> to make her look even more complete. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TR39bF3gyrI/AAAAAAAAAz4/4ZSfbhzCEBE/s1600/G1940_main_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PWMFk25NE4/TR39bF3gyrI/AAAAAAAAAz4/4ZSfbhzCEBE/s320/G1940_main_2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> My little one loves to accessorise and the<em><strong> charm necklace</strong></em> that comes with the doll is adorable.
