Last christmas I gave my 10yo niece a subscription to Total Girl which she loved. She asked for another subscription this year as she loved getting something every month in the mail. This year I went with this one as her mum said she was looking at the mag in the newsagency and thought it was 'cool':

Thanks for the Dolly suggestion, I was a little hesitant re this mag cause if I remember (which was a long time ago) it did contain stuff that might not go down well with her mum..... I might pop into the newsagent and check one out.
I did look at the Total girl but didnt know if it was "too young" but will check that out too. Thanks ladies.... |

My 12 year old has had total girl for a few years and has asked for her subscription to be renewed for another year.
I read Dolly the other day in a Dr's surgery as I was expecting her to want to upgrade soon, but to be honest, I'm glad she likes Total Girl and I don't know if I would be comfortable with Dolly. While it's not that bad, it's definitely no longer for innocent girls. I remember reading it at 12. |

if she is really obsessed with fashion why not get a proper couture mag like vogue or harpers? tbh the mags for young girls are just pure fluff but if she really has a keen interest in fashion (not just teen trends) it might be very inspiring for her |

What about Frankie? http://www.frankie.com.au/ +1 for the above. It's a fantastic magazine - They usually feature a lot of up coming Australian designers and interviews and info regarding getting into the industry. I find it less commercial and narrow minded then Dolly. |

I ordered a Total Girl subscription for my 11yo just yesterday. I felt Girlfriend and Dolly was a little too much for her to take in (and myself) whereas TG was a bit of fluff on all sorts.
