As a mother of two young girls, I get exhausted by pink and lavender and the frilly silliness that usually accompanies it. Instead I tend to opt for bolder, brighter primary colors and more gender-neutral patterns and styles. That said, a little girliness can be a lot of fun in a girl's room — or in any room in need of a little dose of old-fashioned femininity.

Perhaps we need to start out with a definition of Girly Girl.
Janice99 YES. Why is frilly girly? Why not "playful" or "whimsical"? I don't see any vaginas or other specifically girly elements on those shades LOL
I like all of them... They are fun.
Wolfandfinch and Janice99, the title says "GIRLY GIRL", which is conventionally associated with frilly, delicate, flowery, sparkly or pastel things. It may sound sexist to all you feminists out there, but it's hardly confusing. Let's stop splitting hairs and enjoy these pretty lamps.
I've wanted that Floral pendant from Y Lighting for a while now! Fascination 3 is also interesting and unique.
I am the anthesis of "girly girl" but I crave the Anthropologie lamp -- NATURALLY the most expensive one shown! (Looks like a fossil to me!)
I did a DIY post on how to make that Anthropologie lamp. It's my favorite too.

Love this lineup! Especially love the one from Serena & Lily. So chic and glam! Let's hope for a sale soon! ; )
WOW! Such a nice collection of lamps. Restoration Hardware Baby & Child is my favorite one. I have just installed these lamps to decor my home. It's looking so pretty. :)
I LOVE that floral pendant. It reminds me of coral. Does anyone have experience with lights like that who can tell me about the light output? We like a bright, bright room and love these kinds of lights but we rarely ever get to see them in context of a room. How much light they put out, whether there are shadows, etc.
I'll stop splitting hairs when people stop telling my children what they should want to wear, what they should want to buy etc. And I'll stop splitting hairs when my son stops coming home from preschool in tears because his girl classmates won't let him wear the dress costumes because he's a boy. And I'll stop splitting hairs when I don't have to worry that my daughter hates herself because she doesn't fit into the mold WE ARE ALL MAKING FOR HER.
When you call things like this girly girl you tell girls that they are supposed to like this or they aren't a girl. Call it what it is, not who you think should like it based on their gender. They are lovely lamps, because they are frilly, lighthearted, whimsical, playful and fun. Just like my son.
I can't believe you didn't include this from Overstock!
My favourite pendant light is the one I made for my daughter when she was just a baby. It has hung in her bedrooms ever since (we even brought it with us during our 5 year sojourn in Europe).
I bought a plain drum shade, finished the edges with hot pink seam binding, and then when to Michael's and bought armload-fulls of faux flowers -- open English roses in pinks and salmons; pretty white daises with yellow centers; peonies of all sorts; some lavender irises and deep purple anemones. I cut them off their stems, hot glued them on to the drum shade, and filled in any gaps with the faux leaves for a very abundant look. I usually try to use a bulb with a silvered bottom.
Very fun and very Tallulah-esque.
A whimsical pendant which should be here is this one:
