>What is Larme Kei?
Directly from the magazine:

"I would like to explain what a 'girly' fashion is from my perspective. I will also include some keywords that is used in the magazine [LARME]. As an introduction, I will state what a girly fashion is. According to Japan's 'girly fashion', being 'Dolly' is an important element, and essential. For example, making the legs look long by using a high waist bottoms, and a balance of exposure.*
There will be a contrast of style using frills and flares to show the clear bodyline as well. These methods will emphasize slender waist, neck and legs which leads to an overall 'girly' fashion. Ribbons and check pattern shirts/bottoms are symbolic for 'girly' fashions too. As a fact, there is another fashion style that's beyond 'girly'. In general it's called 'Lolita'.
For the second facts about girly fashion, is the hairstyle. It focuses on the forelock**, and the atmosphere around the face. The cute girl will show the natural type of being girly. The importance of hair color, affects how girly you would want to show out. Instead of bright colours, dark and grey-ish calm color will turn you into a calm and settled person.
As for the facial make-up, natural colors for skins, then add some colour on lips, cheeks and eyes, which will multiply the cuteness. These make ups are a necessity when showing girly faces to people. It will look cute and wanting men to protect you***.
In conclusion, these fashion, make-ups, and hairstyle are my perspective to what a 'girly' fashion is. It is a unique Japanese style of being 'girly' and I guarantee that trying on these types will turn you into a 'girly' girl.

* by "balance of exposure", she's referring to exposing skin
** forlock = bangs
*** I'm fairly sure she is referring to men wanting to protect you, not you wanting it them to.
