Lace

The gorgeous pictures from our Roo Girls in their prom dresses continue! Earlier this week, we showed you Brett Emery's elegant, yet flirty look, and today we're writing to show you Lily Hogan's prom dress. Lily's mom, Rene' Yelich-Hogan has been in contact with us ever since they purchased Lily's dress.

Rene' and Lily are from Millville, NJ, so they visited our store in Linwood, New Jersey back in February and shared such kind words with us:

"Thank you so much for a wonderful experience yesterday! We popped in just to look and 2 hours of some of the BEST customer service I have ever experienced later we found THE dress for her prom. Thank you for making my daughter feel special!"

Lily finally attended her prom in April this year, so Rene' was kind enough to follow-up with pictures of Lily in her prom dress, and said:

"Thank you for making my girl feel like a million dollars! See ya next year!"

Lily chose La Femme style 21565 as her dress, and it couldn't have fit her more perfectly. La Femme 21565 is an enchanting net mermaid gown that features cascading lace applique and a modest train. The gown also features a sheer bodice with a fitted short skirt and a keyhole back. It's a perfect way to show of some skin in an elegant way, and Lily certainly did that stunningly!  Continue reading →

So, you're down to the final days and hours and you're still searching for that perfect prom dress. It's a difficult decisions... so many choices! Do you choose long?... short?... high-low?... two-piece?... open back? We certainly can't tell you what prom dress style is best for you, but we can surely help you find it! This week, we have one popular trend on our mind: lace!

The popularity of lace keeps growing and growing each prom season. This Prom 2016, the dress designers have come up with so many gorgeous lace styles, incorporating more trends than just lace in one prom dress in many instances. Check out some of our favorite prom 2016 lace dresses below for ideas.  Continue reading →

Days of warmer weather are approaching and the end of the school year is upon us. Exams, proms, and formals will all be over soon, but another special occasion deserves a celebration! It is graduation time, when we cherish all the fun memories we have had and look to the future with optimism and excitement! Of course a past time like this deserves a very special dress to unveil after you throw your cap into the sky, take off your graduation gown, and yell "I DID IT!" Read on for our favorite graduation dress ideas! Continue reading →

The 2014 Kids Choice Awards were just a few days ago, and they were so fun to watch! Two of our favorite girls of the year, Ariana Grande and Jennifer Lawrence, took the show bringing home so many orange blimps! Ariana took home a blimp for her show Sam and Cat, and also took one home for Favorite TV Actress. J. Law had the big win of the night with 3 blimps: 1 for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire as Favorite Movie, Favorite Movie Actress, and Favorite Female Buttkicker! Congrats, Girls!

As you know, the show wasn't all we were watching, though. Our eyes were glued to the Red...ahem...Orange Carpet watching all of the lady celebrities strut their style. Our favorite dressed girl of the night was undoubtedly the lovely Lea Michele. She looked so gorgeous in her coral color lace short dress there was no doubt in our heads that she was our favorite look of the night!

Plus, she had such a fun time honing her inner Marylin Monroe that how could you not love her??

Another reason we love her Kids Choice Awards look? Because it's so easy (and so in style) to copy for Prom 2014! For a Lea Michele dress look, there's two La Femme dresses that we're loving - check them out below:

La Femme style 20386 is an adorable strapless tulle dress with a ruffled hem. The bodice is covered with lace and scattered jewels, making this dress so celeb glam!

La Femme style 19160 is all over lace! This v-neck sequin cocktail dress with a criss cross ruched bodice seems simple, but has so much detail to it. Multi shaped iridescent stones adorn the neckline and straps to give it an extra bit if sparkle.

Whether one of these dresses, or another short coral dress that you love, have fun accessorizing just like Lea, too! We loved that Lea kept the jewelry to a minimum and chose to brighten up the whole look with neon pink lipstick. Such a perfect combo and unique way to rock the coral color!

Did you catch the 2013 BET Awards in June? If not, we've got the most important scoop from the event right here: Gabby Douglas receiving the YoungStars Award!

Gabrielle Douglas, USA Olympic gymnast, took the BET Awards by storm this year. She walked away with the YoungStars award for her amazing accomplishments! BET wrote:

"Who knew so much power could come in a 4’11” package? The 16-year-old gymnast made the country proud when she became the first Black woman to bring home All-Around Olympic gold. Earlier this year, she published her first memoir, Grace, Gold and Glory: My Leap of Faith...Gabby Douglas has become a role model and inspiration for young people everywhere."

That's not all, though! Not only did she have some amazing accomplishments to show off, but she looked incredible, too. She walked the BET Red Carpet in Sherri Hill style 21016 in Black/Nude.

The gymnast looked so gorgeous in this two-toned Sherri Hill lace dress! The dramatic high-low skirt and floor-sweeping train showed off her bod so well, and we were especially amazed by how ripped her arms looked!

Her sleek bob and red lips were the perfect finishing touches to her look - so elegant and timeless, and definitely gold medal worthy.

What do you think of Gabby's style? Leave a comment below and let us know!

Avril Lavigne recently came out with a new single called "Here's to Never Growing Up," and we're loving not only the song, but the video, too! The song's all about having fun, and the video is set at a senior prom, so we automatically fell in love!

Check out the video below:

When it comes to prom, of course Avril still doesn't lose her punk rock look. We love the short light blue dress she wore in the video - it matched her eyes so perfectly!

For a similar look to Avirl's short prom dress look, we love Sherri Hill style 21156. It's one of Sherri Hill's newest styles that's not only perfect for prom, but homecoming, too! The grey accenting, paired with lace and jewel detailing is so punk that it couldn't be any more Avril Lavigne inspired! It also comes in dark red and navy colors that are super punk, too.

We are especially oogling over Avril's new single and video, though, because it looks like she's taking a step back to her roots! The music video reminded us of when she first came onto the scene 11 years ago as the punk rock princess that everyone came to love her for. The video was full of people spraying graffiti, a group crashing a pool in their prom outfits, and wrecking the school with chairs flying, confetti everywhere, and of course Avril on her skateboard.

Welcome back, Avril! We can't wait to hear more songs from your new album!

There were so many beautiful Sherri Hill dresses worn during this year's Miss USA pageant, that we couldn't possibly fit them all into one (or two!) posts. Sherri Hill style 21187 was one dress that we loved, but didn't mention in our Miss USA 2013 posts earlier this week. So, we decided to give it a special shout-out and make it our Dress of the Week!

Miss Nebraska wore this sexy red lace dress during the pageant, and she looked absolutely breathtaking! It hugged her curves so well, and the nude coloring made her tan skin glow even more. We also loved the statement necklace she wore with the dress - it complimented the lace in the dress so well and gave her such an elegant look!

Sherri Hill style 21187 is a glamorous short cocktail dress complete with classy and chic lace design and scalloped hem. It's such a pretty minidress for graduation, homecoming, a semi-formal party, or just a fun night out! It comes in a variety of colors, such as black, blue, ivory, navy, and blush. We love how the variety of colors this dress comes in lets you dress it up with a more formal color like black, or even give it a more summery look by choosing the ivory or light blue color. It definitely makes it an easy dress to wear to so many different social occasions...or maybe even on stage at a pageant like Miss Nebraska!
