  • How To Drop a Dress Size

    Drop a Dress SizeDo you need to squeeze into a certain dress size in a short amount of time?  Losing weight can be a big challenge if you don’t start by making a plan.  Jumping right into a restrictive diet and intense exercise workout won’t work to change your size immediately.  The best way to drop some pounds is to commit to making small changes in your life daily.

    Last month iVillage compiled 30 ways to drop a dress size in 30 days, including tips on what to eat, how to exercise, and what you’ll need to do to stay on track.  By following at least 10 of their recommendations you can lose about 10 pounds in a month, without hurting yourself!  Here are some of the key points you should pay attention to if you want to drop a dress size this month:

    1. Eat probiotic rich foods like Greek Yogurt, filled with live cultures, a healthy bacterium that helps burn calories.
    2. Get 7-9 hours of sleep each night.  Good quality sleep will leave your body well rested, increasing your metabolism for the coming day.
    3. Instead of grabbing a glass of OJ, eat a full orange instead.  By eating fruit instead of fruit juice you avoid consuming unnecessary added sugars.
    4. Pack your lunch each day to avoid splurging on unhealthy foods that are easy to eat quickly during the workday.  Try bringing a sandwich and some healthy snacks like an apple or carrot sticks.
    5. Drink 8-10 cups of water throughout each day to clean out your system and maintain good metabolism.
    6. Get active by scheduling and maintaining at least 30 minutes of exercise each day.  Take a bike ride of go for a jog, just keep it consistent and you’ll feel the results.
    7. Add spicy foods to your diet – some research shows spices like peppers help your body to fight fat.
    8. Don’t freak out if you cheat a little!  Indulging accidentally doesn’t mean you’ve failed your mission, just make sure you get back on track after.
    9. Start some meals with a broth based soup instead of a hearty appetizer.  Soup will fill you up faster so you won’t over eat during a meal.
    10. Add protein to every meal.  Eggs, nuts, seeds, legumes, fish or other lean meats will give you more energy and curb hunger between mealtimes.

  • Prom Girls, Beware!

    Prom night is fast approaching. Ladies Beware!

    Prom girls, be smart. Your dream dress could be a fake! The prom industry’s leading designers are still fighting the ongoing battle with fraudulent internet sites selling counterfeit prom dresses to unsuspecting teenage girls and their families. Companies are representing these dresses as authentic garments, but what the customer is receiving is a knock-off of sub-par quality, leaving them feeling scammed and distraught.  Some are not receiving any dress at all!

    Rissy Roo's

    Protect yourself. Before purchasing a prom dress via the internet, check the designer’s website for a list of authorized retailers. Also, be aware that designers such as Jovani, La Femme, Mori Lee, Sherri Hill and Tony Bowls set an MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) that all authorized retailers must follow. Meaning, that if you are able to find the dress at a price lower than the MSRP, chances are it’s a scam. Do not buy it! Another way to ensure you are receiving the real deal is to call the company’s contact information. The most reliable companies, like RissyRoos.com, offer customer support and toll-free lines for your convenience in placing your order with a real person.

  • New Year, New You for 2012!

    2012 is a new year, this means new fashion. With fashion, there always come trends and with a new year comes a NEW you.

    For Prom 2012, pick the New Year’s resolution of a “new you.” Try something fresh, unique and out of the usual for yourself. When you begin your prom dress search in the beginning of the new year, keep in mind some of the dress details we see trending:

    Bling: We love bling. There is no such thing as too much bling, so make sure if it isn’t on your dress you Accessorize! Accessorize! Accessorize! Try some of these bracelets or earrings with or without a blinged out dress.

    Mirrors: “Mirrors” is a new kind of bling trending for Prom 2012. Mirrors are big and small pieces of glass stone placed closely together to make a broken mirror effect. Take a look at Night Moves 6496. This dress is gorgeous!

    night moves 6496

    Lace: Some of you may think lace is out and not your thing, but you are wrong it is so in and not going anywhere. All of this year’s designers have used lace on some part of their dress collections. It gives your look a classy, slightly sexy touch.

    Feathers: Fun and flirty! Feathers are such a unique touch to any dress type. If you are trying to stand out, we say go with a feather accented dress.

    Happy New Year! 2012 will be a great year. Life’s A Party! Dress Up!

  • Alice Cullen Stuns!

    Ashley Green looked gorgeous at the Twilight franchise's premiere of Breaking Dawn Part I on Monday, November 14, 2011. Breaking Dawn Part I is the 4th installment of the mega blockbuster movie, which first gained acclaim the old fashion way, by book! Green plays Alice Cullen, Edwards sister and Bella's best friend who has the ability to see the future (but according to Edward, her visions are subject to change). Need more info on the new movie, due out in theatres November 18? Visit The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I. (I can't give you all the details, it took me a whole summer to read all 4 books!)

    Ashley Green wore an elegant custom Donna Karan gown with her hair in effortless loose waves, only a cocktail ring and matching red lips. Absolutely stunning, fresh and flawless!

    For much of the fall, we have been posting short cocktail dresses, which work perfect for Holiday parties and New Years Eve, but soon will be the return of the Evening gown. We've channeled our inner Alice Cullen, and can see your future in Jovani Style 17438! The dress is a strapless fitted sequin gown with netting over a nude base and a gorgeous sweetheart neckline. The bodice is embellished throughout the bust with intricate beading and sequins running through the length of the dress in a leaf like pattern to the mermaid skirt. This dress is a show stopper and would make you the "it" girl at your next formal event, not to mention a shoe in for Prom Queen!
