Is there a word or slang expression for girls who are preoccupied with materialistic things, such as bags, rings, necklaces and so on, and with showing such things off to others?
Girls for whom superficial appearance is more important than internal qualities.
Answer
The word "poser" comes to mind.
There are a few words and phrases that generally mean this sort of thing but usually they refer to a specific aspect. Someone who overly values worldly possessions would be "materialistic" but a materialistic person may or may not have the motivation to show off those possessions. They may simply be a hoarder or even secretive about their possessions.
Someone who likes to show off could be "vain", "pretentious" or compensating for insecurities but that may also apply to someone who pulls stunts for attention or someone who tries to "win" every conversation.
"Shallow" is another broad term that encompasses most of what you describe.
