Holiday Dresses

The holidays are only weeks away! Are you ready with presents for everyone on your list? If you're not, we're here to help! We put together our favorite gifts for her in a 2014 Holiday Gift Guide you can't miss out on! These gifts aren't just for any lady, though....these are glam gifts that are perfect for those fashionistas on your list! From leopard print clutches and tunic sweaters to vegan leather jackets and sparkly crop tops, there's bound to be a holiday gift for every girl on your list. Check out some of our favorites below and head over to our Holiday Gift Guide section for the full list!

1. Vegan Stretch Leather Jacket

With the cold weather setting in, could there be a better present than a stand-out chic jacket? We sure can't think of one (other than maybe a knockout holiday party dress!) This is a fitted and sexy vegan leather jacket with multiple zippers and stretch panels. We love it because it can work in 2 different ways - as a stand-alone jacket for the warmer days (like in the spring or fall), or just rock it as an extra layer with your warmer jacket on top for those colder winter days. And, for only $86, it couldn't be a more affordable jacket.

2. Animal Print Purse

We LOVE animal print at Rissy Roo's! And, what better way to rock it than in a purse? This is a fully lined animal print envelope clutch with a magnetic flap, slip compartment and removable strap. It's a purse that can easily be dressed up or down, depending on what you pair it with. So, we're sure the lucky gal who gets this as a gift will find many uses for it! And, for only $32, you can even stuff it with smaller gifts for an extra surprise, like lip gloss or a key chain.

3. Sequin Crop Top

Crop tops are so on-trend this year, and this is sequin wave line crop top is totally classy and versatile! It's a stunning compliment to any girl's next party look. It can easily be worn over a dress, with a party skirt, or even jeans (like shown above). This crop top is $66, making it an easy choice for an added layer to any outfit.

We hope you love these gift ideas as much as we do! Don't forget, check out the full 2014 Holiday Gift Guide for more ideas...and get choosing before it's too late!

December is officially here, and that means there are plenty of holiday parties to come, from office parties to New Year's Eve! Holiday parties are always super fun, especially because it means dresses are so essential to a perfect holiday wardrobe. While we love the idea of rocking sparkly silver, gold, red, green, and blue dresses for the holidays, there's one look that can't be forgotten because of its simplicity and dependability for any event you may be attending over the next month: little black dresses! So, to help you find a perfect LBD to take you from party to party, here are four of our favorite looks..all under $100!

For a classic and super classy look go with jeweled neck party dress Gracia D15016. The cap sleeves and jeweled neckline makes this an easy dress to take you from day to night. If you want to get away from the classic LBD, but still wear a color appropriate for the holidays, Continue reading →

Thanksgiving is almost here, and that means it's time for family get-togethers and late night parties with friends. So, to make sure you're ready in a perfect outfit, we picked out some of our favorite dresses that will effortlessly take you from a more traditional family event, to a night out with friends. Check out our Thanksgiving dress up ideas below!

You can never go wrong with a little black dress at any event, and this is one LBD that we absolutely love! Style D15016 is a jeweled neck cap sleeved party dress that's such a versatile pick. The cap sleeves make it so easy to wear to a family party, while the dress is just so cute and chick that it can take you anywhere in style! This is a great dress to wear throughout the Holiday season - from a Thanksgiving get-together, to an office holiday party, or even to a New Year's Eve party! For a more stand-out color, this dress also comes in red.
For another cap sleeves look that's all about versatility, go with Scala 48350. This hot little cocktail dress clings closely to curves to produce a look that is second to none. Tiny, twinkling accents wend their way around the dress for a softly glitzy look. It's all topped off by a scooped neckline and short sleeves. We just recommend throwing a cardigan over the dress for your family Thanksgiving dinner, which you can take off when it's time to go out with friends at night! Best yet, this dress is also so perfect for a New Year's Eve party.

For a more traditional look for Thanksgiving, go with Mac Duggal style 1654. It's a stunningly embellished dress with fantastic beading along the v-neckline. From small beads to large stones and hanging beading, this dress offers so much variety, style, and elegance. A gorgeous vine pattern of beaded embellishments flows throughout the dress and on the wide open, sheer sleeves. The charcoal color and leave pattern of this dress reminds us so much of a fall November night!

With Christmas and Kwanzaa finally here, Hanukkah and Thanksgiving passed, and New Year's on its way, we wanted to wish all of our Roo Girls a very Happy Holidays from Rissy Roo's! We hope everyone is having a wonderful and safe holiday season with family and friends! Most importantly, in true Roo spirit, we hope everyone is having and has had a very PINK Holiday!

With Christmas Eve finally here, of course we had to pick out a special dress this week that was reminiscent of the the holiday. That's why this week's Dress of the Week is Night Moves style 7045, and we're sure that you can guess why!

Night Moves 7045 is a one-shoulder short cocktail dress in a stretch jersey fabric, with a neckline that's embellished with beautiful beads and crystals. The dress comes in two colors: Red and Black. The Red version of this dress has us so excited for Christmas - the color it comes in couldn't be any more Christmas-y, and the stunning beadwork reminds us of beautiful ornaments on a Christmas tree! If you have a formal Christmas party to attend, this is definitely a great choice. The color will have you in the Christmas mood, and the one-shoulder long sleeve is perfect for the winter months.

The Christmas-y red color this dress comes in isn't the only reason we chose it as our Dress of the Week, though. With Christmas here, we know that New Year's Eve is the next big night just around the corner. And, this dress is just as great for Christmas as it is for an NYE party! While you could wear it in red if you want a stand-out NYE look, we especially love this dress in black for New Year's Eve. It's a classic look that you'll not only get use out of on NYE, but you'll be able to wear it time and time again!
