Rissy Roo's Fashion News

To all of our New Jersey Roo friends out there, the December 2013 LifeStyle Report of the New Jersey LifeStyle Magazine is out, and we're so proud to announce that we've been featured in their Holiday Gift Guide! Their The LifeStyle Report Holiday Gift Guide lists their last-minute treasures for everyone on your Holiday gift list, so it's quite an honor that we were included amongst their favorite finds. Two of our brand new products were listed: our Sweetie's Anne Lace Ballet Flats and our Leopard Purse! The flats are fabulous lace ballet style shoes with a knot detail and clear stone detail. They are the perfect shoe to sweeten up any social occasion dress if you don't want to go with heels. The Leopard Purse is an envelope clutch that is a perfect way to glam up any outfit. It's currently not available on our website, but can be purchased at our store in Linwood, NJ.

  That's not all that's in the December LifeStyle Report, though! The magazine also has a whole article on what to wear at Holiday parties: gold, of course! Of their selection, they wrote, "These picks for the holiday season will have you effortlessly standing out from the crowd and looking, and feeling, like a celebrity. This year, make your holiday statement piece a head-turning gold dress, suitable for any occasion.

When it comes to choosing a long dress, they featured one of the dresses that we have at Rissy Roo's: Tony Bowls style Tony B 2351317! It's a sequin dress with a halter neckline and pleated waistline that's accented with a contrasting hand-beaded medallion. It's one of our sale dresses - it was originally $458, but is now only $299. The LifeStyle Report mentions that it's a perfect dress to wear if you have a Holiday gala event or black-tie New Year's Eve party, and we couldn't agree more. The article's author, Alyson Boxman Levine wrote, "full-length and flowing, yet fitted in all the right places, this sparkly halter dress will quickly become your glamorous go-to favorite."

And, if you love the short metallic number that's featured in this article, you can get the same look with Terani style C1329. It's a metallic bandage dress with a v neckline that's a classic look for a Holiday party or any other semi-formal event that you may have. Since it's a bandage dress, it will hug your curves in all the right ways!

We hope you love these Holiday gift and outfit staples as much as we do! Happy Holiday shopping!

Yup, that's right, Miley Cyrus finally wore an outfit that's perfect for fashionistas everywhere! Rather than wearing those scantily clad outfits Miley has become known for, she showed up at the 30th Annual Night of Stars in a totally stunning sequin gown! Don't get too shocked - she still showed off some skin with the gown's open back, but all in all it was a totally glam AND chic look!

From the sparkly green dress to the red mani, Seventeen Magazine thought it was a perfect look for prom, and they couldn't be more right! Seventeen said:

"A straight but not-too-form-fitting style covered in sequins is seriously flattering, plus, the shape makes all-over sparkle feel less frilly."

The above picture that they made showed how you can get the look. And, what dress did they choose to steal Miley's style? Faviana style 6711, of course! The silver version of this dress was our Dress of the Week back in April because it was so similar to a gown that Taylor Swift wore, but now it's our Dress of the Week to get a Miley Cyrus look-alike style! It's a sequin evening gown with mesh straps and a sexy open back.

When it comes to the makeup, Seventeen said:

"To make green eyeshadow like Miley's wearable, pick a pale seafoam shadow, and stick to black liquid liner and mascara so the look stays glam. Keep the rest of your makeup neutral with a pale peachy blush and a nude lipgloss. Don't forget your bright red nail polish!"

Payton Rae, the 18-year-old country music star whose global fan base has generated over 13 million YouTube hits for her music and videos, is onto her next project! Gone Girl, a four-song EP of original music, is scheduled for release on December 17, and she's already released her newest song from the album: Gone Girl. It's a fun song that's definitely full of girl power - check it out:

Payton Rae is the face of ALYCE Paris, so of course our favorite part of the video was seeing the brand new ALYCE Paris dresses that she was wearing in the video! And, we especially loved that part of her video consisted of walking the ALYCE Paris runway!

In the runway scenes, she wore Claudine for ALYCE style 2311, a short dress that has a beaded bustier illusion waist bodice with large stones on the waistband and a metal fabric skirt. Definitely very rocker chick, just like Payton!

In some of the other scenes, Payton wore ALYCE Paris style 4370, a beaded tulle cocktail dress with deep V-Neck and open back. It's such a perfect look for the Holidays!

That's not all from Payton and ALYCE Paris, though! Along with the new song and EP, Payton will be going on a tour that's sponsored by ALYCE Paris, named after her new song, "Gone Girl." The tour will kick off in Chicago on Jan 20; stops in Boston, Columbus, OH, and Augusta, SC will take place, with additional cities (and further details about the tour) announced at PaytonRaeMusic.com. So, keep a look-out for when Payton will be stopping by your town!

Miley Cyrus and her older half-sister Brandi Cyrus stunned all as a matching duo at the 2013 American Music Awards this past weekend, because they were both looking so sheek in white! Miley Cyrus may be the star of the past few months, and she did look so lovely in her white suit, but we're so in love with Brandi's long sleeve cocktail dress.

White has been so in this year, and people will be wearing it well into the colder months. And,  Miley and Brandi definitely wore the trend perfectly! But, Brandi's look had us thinking of the Holidays, because her short number is definitely a perfect look for not only the AMAs red carpet, but for a Holiday party, too!

If you want to wear this look to your Holiday event this year, we have so many white long sleeve cocktail dresses to choose from. Below are two of our favorites!

Precious Formals style L9034 is a fun way to add a little glam to a white cocktail dress look like Brandi's. Silver groups of sequins accent the body, scoop neckline and sheer long sleeves of this chic-and-flirty dress.

Shail K. style KK3138 is just like Brandi's dress, just with a deep v-neck and 3/4 sleeves. It's an easy look to dress up with bold jewelry and sparkly heels, or keep toned down with simple accessories.

Much like the Victory Tour that takes Katniss, played by Jennifer Lawrence, and Peeta, Josh Hutcherson, through the 12 districts after their win in the deadly Hunger Games, the stars of the sequel have spent the past week traveling the world, with premiere stops in London, Berlin, Madrid, Rome and Paris. Now, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire stars are finally finishing up their premiere back in the U.S. The movie just premiered in Los Angeles earlier this week, and last night they were in New York City.

Since we're all about dresses at Rissy Roo's, we've of course have been paying full attention to Jennifer's looks on the red carpet. We loved her see-through gown at the L.A. premiere, but we're especially loving the cute little black dress she wore last night in NYC!

On the surface it looks like a simple LBD, but the deep v-neck and white and gold accenting Continue reading →

With Thanksgiving only a week away, we are in totally in Turkey mode, and we can't wait to dress up for the holiday! While Thanksgiving may not be a well known holiday for dressing to impress the way that New Year's Eve is, there's no reason that you can't put on a cute dress to celebrate.

It might not be a sexy little black dress kind of night, but there are definitely plenty of dresses that can be worn to a Thanksgiving party. Since it's technically still Fall, but getting colder and colder out by the day, we love the idea of picking a cocktail dress that shows off the colors of Fall (like tan, gold, brown, yellow, or orange), but also has long sleeves to keep you a little warmer as the cold sets in. That's why this week's Dress of the Week is Shail K. style KL3225 - we thought it made for a perfect Turkey Day dress with the nude and gold colorings and long sleeves!

Style KL3225 is a truly original Shail K. creation! This long sleeve, nude colored cocktail dress boasts a unique, hand-beaded exotic bead pattern with a beautifully accentuated waistline and hem. The high back and neck make this dress perfect for day or nighttime wear. It's definitely a dress that you can easily wear to a dinner, and then out with your friends to a party later that night. Tone the look down with black or nude heels for dinner, and spice it up with sparkly gold heels like in the picture above for a party.

This a dependable dress that you'll be able to get a lot of use out of, whether for Thanksgiving, another Holiday party, Homecoming, or any other formal event. Do you love it as much as we do? Leave a comment below and let us know!
