Ever wanted to borrow your Barbie Doll's clothes? Well, now you can. I'm still on the fence with this one, which is pretty surprising, even for me, because if it's girly, I'll take it!
Saturday, I went to Americana at Brand, for the third time to check out Katsuya, Ironman, and the Russian...Kira Plastinina (KP) is the latest designer import, and she is only 16! More props to this mini-mogul.
KP's store was pretty empty around 8 pm. But I think that has to do with the fact that not many people are aware of KP yet, as well as the location of the store, which is right on Brand Blvd., away from the crowds. Maybe if the Trolley made a special stop?
Anyways, the store is a tween girl's dream with bubble skirts, ruffles, bright pinks, yellows, and all that glitters. There is even a section of Dylan's Candy Bar in the back (No complaints about that).
All in all my first impression is that you will definitely find cute, fun, flirty clothes for going out, or lounging around the house, and at fair prices between $20 - $200. The designs and quality of materials are at a higher standard as well, not F-21 level as far as I could tell.
But I just can't shake this feeling that I was shopping at Libby Lu, Limited Too, or Build-A-Bear. It was odd seeing women, in I think their mid-20s holding, as cute as they are, KP bags filled with their recent purchases.
I'm all for girly, like I said, but it's missing a certain class and sophistication that I would still want to maintain no matter how girly my outfit is. For now I think I will stick to Juicy Couture and Betsey Johnson to fulfill those desires. But I did see the cutest Ruffled Baby Pink Babydoll top with a huge Rosette pinned to the strap. hmmmm....

Paris Hilton with KP. She's a fan. Enough Said. 
KP is a smart cookie, no doubt, using Audrina Patridge from The Hills, as the new face for her line. Hey but this is cute huh? Ugh, my inner girly-ness is saying get over your reserveration! lol...
Can't wait to see how KP is received by the masses as her stores start popping up everywhere...
I promise to be better about charging my camera so I can provide better photos...
