For the Marilyn Monroe
She’s nothing if not glamorous. This is a lady who grocery shops in Chanel. She refuses to grab the mail without a flawless manicure. And when it comes to pre-ordering the newest designer handbag, it’s a question of “when,” not “if.” Give her one of these pretty things, and the twinkle in her eye will match the glitter in her slingbacks.

For the Rihanna
She’s no follower, thank you very much. She sets the trends. She likes to shop, but she’ll skip the mainstream stores in favor of boutiques with one-of-a-kind finds. She decorates with the sleek, modern vibe of Jonathan Adler mixed with a little edge. She’s got a mix of music on her iPod, but she’s all about the funky female-led Yeah Yeah Yeahs right now.

For the Guy’s Guy (Who Wears Nice Cologne)
He’s a man’s man, of course. He watches football. He plays poker with the boys. He likes a beer with his steak. And when the sink starts to leak? This manly man grabs a wrench! But don’t let him fool you. He isn’t afraid to smell nice, too. He’ll don a pair of jeans with a trendy wash. Or, hell, he’ll even throw on a Coach scarf when it’s chilly. It gets cold in Home Depot.
(clockwise from top) Coach novelty knit scarf ($98/Coach NorthPark), Old Gringo “Clarita” cobra skin boots ($950/Cowboy Cool), Prada sunglasses ($290/Ilori), TOMS “Habitante Eco” slip-on shoes ($54/St. Bernard Sports), Cult of Individuality Hagen straight leg jeans ($135/Skivvies), Fifty One Fifty snakeskin belt ($315/Cowboy Cool), Fresh soap in Hesperides ($14/Fresh)
For Miss Popularity
Her hobby is clicking her pink polished fingernails on her Swarovski-encrusted iPhone. (She should be in the Guinness Book of World Records for her speedy texting.) She’s never missed an episode of Gossip Girl. Duh. And though her drawers are bubbling over with makeup and jewelry, there’s always room for more.

For the Extreme Teen
It takes him a while to get out of bed in the morning. But once he’s up, he’s all action. His uniform consists of his favorite hoodie and seriously colorful kicks. If you can’t find him perusing his favorite comic books, he’s probably playing Tony Hawk on his Xbox with his crew.

For the Princess
She’s sweet as pie, this one, but you can see the inner teen budding. Her bedroom is Barbie’s dream come true. She listens to her Hannah Montana CD on repeat—spend a day with her and you’ll know every word to “If We Were a Movie”—and thinks the best part of going to school is customizing her notebooks.

For the All-Star in the Making
He’s always on the go. Keep up and you’ll be burning serious calories. He follows every Dallas sports team and participates in a few of his own. He would whoop the competition with his fantasy football team if only his allowance was enough to join. He’ll settle down, though, for a little couch time in front of WALL-E.

For the Little Lover Boy
This one’s a love-bug. Sure, he’s interested in his squishy baseball (perhaps a Derek Jeter in the making), but what he really loves is snuggling up to his stuffed farm animals.
(clockwise from left) Charm Rockers “Fritz the Frog” rocker ($150/Merge), Trumpette cowboy socks ($26 for six pairs/KidBiz), Rowdy Sprouts “Woodstock” t-shirt ($40/Merge), Mullins Square Velour Tubbies longhorn towel ($42/KidBiz)
For the Haute Baby
You can tell she’s going to have taste in the finer things. She’s already stomping around in her mini Uggs with pride. And notice how comfortable she looks in her baby Juicy Couture tracksuit?
(clockwise from top) Helena pink houndstooth dress ($110/KidBiz), Mullins Square Velour Tubbies flower towel ($42/KidBiz), Wee-Go glass baby bottle ($12/KidBiz), Robeez soft sole booties ($41/KidBiz)
