Cute Summer Style

Last week we talked about great summer nail trends to try out, and two of them that we're loving are neon and ombre. Well, this #ManicureMonday we're combining those two trends, because it doesn't get much better than a look with both neon AND ombre in it! We've been loving all of the ways you can rock neon in your outfits and on your nails, but with ombre being such a big hit lately, too, we asked...why separate the trends?? So, here's something we've been completely obsessing over: the neon ombre manicure! And, best yet, if you're looking to pair your new neon ombre nails with your next formal outfit, read on for our favorite match-ups.

Lime green is definitely taking the fashion world by storm! We love how this fashionista paired the lime green with a white undertone - it allows the color to really pop! Love the lime green look and want to bring it to your next formal event? We have a lime green dress here at Continue reading →

Summer 2013 is officially in full-swing and it's time to take out those bikinis from last year and buy some new ones for this year! If you're having a hard time deciding which type of bathing suit you want to purchase, or which would look best on your body type, here are the hottest styles so far from the 2013 season!

Floral patterns have been taking over in the fashion world, from swim suits to dresses. So, of course, we weren't surprised to see this vintage floral pattern spread across this High Waist Bikini. High Waist bikini's are great for every shape and size! They definitely flatter your curves as well as accentuate your body type! This High Waist bathing suit can be found at WildFoxCouture.com

Corset-Like bathing suit tops! These particular tops are great for girls with small to medium size busts. Of course, just like on bathing suits, anything with a corset shape is always figure flattering for all body types. The tops fit tight, and in this bathing suit case it provides bra-like cups for the bust to fit into. This item can be found at www.Delias.com.

Crop bathing suit tops! The cropped-top look is perfect for any bust size! It fits similar to a t-shirt and gives you a form fitting feel but a loose look! The crop bathing suit top is extremely popular this summer, especially for teenage girls. This bathing suit can be found at www.Macys.com.

Summer is in full swing - the temps are high, the sun is shining and it's time to get that summer glam! The popular nail trends of Summer 2013 are bold bright neon colors and lots of funky nail art to spice things up! We've also seen some ombre work that looks amazing. Need some inspiration? Read on to see some of our favorite looks that we found on Pinterest.

Bright and Bold Neon Nails

Summertime is all about being bright and bold: from the summer sun, to cute bikinis. So, why not bring some bold color to your nails? Whether you want to rock one color, or spice things up with some patterns and texture, there's plenty of way to wear neon on your nails.

We just LOVE the idea of picking one bright neon color, and letting it speak for itself. Adding cute beads like on the pink nails above is a perfect way to add a touch of glam.

Looking for a little more funk in your neon nails? Try out these fun designs above! If you have the skills, go for creating the nail art yourself, or just bring a picture to your nail salon.

Want to really shine bright like the sun? Try a different neon color on each nail! The texture in this nail design adds a even new dimension to the neon nail look - it's definitely a hot look to rock!

Ombre Nails

Ombre is our favorite trend of this summer! From cute ombre dresses to ombre nails, it's a simply stunning and totally on-trend look to rock. These ombre looks above are so perfect for summer because of their colors; pink and teal look so sophisticated together, and an ombre blue style has us yearning for the ocean!

Printed Nails

Want to spice up your nail look even more than neon and ombre? Try some fun summertime nail art! Rhinestones, floral or whatever your heart desires will have you putting a smile on your face every time you look at your nails.

With the summer season in full-effect, the heat is scorching and the humidity is almost unbearable! Whenever us Roo Girls aren't soaking up the sun at the beach or pool, we're definitely looking for ways to stay cool! If you're looking for some great ways to break the heat, here are our favorite ways to avoid that sizzling summer weather:

Visit your local mall! The mall is always a great place to cool down and spend some quality time shopping or eating at the food court with your friends! And, of course, finding a cute summer outfit!

Do you know the reason most people went to movie theaters when they were first built? Because they had air conditioning! Air conditioners have always been such an essential part of the movie experience that they were even installed in movie theaters before cup holders were! Movie theaters still make for a great place to cool down in the present day, especially with all of the great blockbuster hits that always come out in the summer time!

Book stores make a great cooling station. There's nothing more relaxing than finding a good book and reading it in your favorite local book store. Also, most book stores have coffee shops attached to them, making it a breeze for you to grab your favorite frozen drink!

Whether mall, theater, book store, or other activities, there's definitely a lot of cool ways to beat the summer heat. What do you do to stay cool during the summer season? Comment below to share!

Independence Day is almost here, and we've been scouring the Internet for ways to show our pride for the day of fireworks, BBQ, and fun! While we've of course been picking out our favorite red, white, and blue dresses at www.rissyroos.com, we've also been looking for cute ways to accessorize. And, of course, one always go-to way to show some 4th of July love is on your nails! It's a simple, yet totally chic, way to wear red, white, and blue, without wearing it from head to toe. Below are our favorite patriotic nail looks that we've found on Pinterest...not only just in time for July 4th, but for #ManicureMonday, too!

It doesn't get much more patriotic than literally turning your nails into the American Flag! If you're freaking out over the idea of trying to paint those perfect stars and stripes onto your nails, don't fret; just use nail art decals to get the look! They're simple to use and give you a professional look. You can get the decals used in the above photo for only $5 on Esty.com!

Sparkly nails have been super on-trend lately, and is there really a better time to wear sparkles than on July 4th? Definitely not! That's why we love this "firework fingertips" nail art idea from PrettyPrudent.com. It's a perfect way to incorporate the sparkly nail trend into a 4th of July look!

Looking for a nail idea to not only rock on July 4th, but all Summer long? We love the above red, white, and blue nail look for just that. It has a nautical theme to it, but the combination of colors also makes it perfect for Independence Day! We love the small heart over the stripes, but feel free to rock this look without the heart, too.

However you decide to show your patriotism on the 4th of July, just make sure to have fun! If you've found any nail ideas that you love, feel free to write a comment below and share the link.

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!

Sequins are always the go-to look for the holidays and often get put on the back burner once summer rolls around. But, with summer being the brightest time of year, is there really a better time to be wearing sparkles?? We don't think so! So, with the warm weather finally on its way, we're here to help show you how to bring sequins into your summer outfits for a whole new, unique look.

When it comes to sequins in the summertime, we recommend to keep it simple and specific to only one item within your outfit. So, if you're wearing a sequin dress, make sure your accessories don't have sequins. Or, if you accessorize with a sequin purse or shoes, keep your clothes summer casual. This is a great way to wear the trend during the summer months without going overboard. Check out our favorite ways to stylize sparkles for the summer below!

One of our favorite way to wear sequins in the summer time is with white! White is undoubtedly the go-to summer color, so it will give the sequins a super on-trend look for the season. Our favorite cocktail dress to get the look is Blush style 9667. Shiny white-gold paisleys rock in a flared skirt with a corset back in this gorgeous short dress. With the paisley white detailing, it's the perfect chic way to rock sequins in the summer.

Carrying a sequin clutch with a bright summery outfit is a great way to add a touch of glam to your look. La Regale style 21016 is a sparkly clutch that can compliment a number of different looks, from daytime to nighttime.

If you have a formal event to attend this summer and are looking for a gown, we recommend choosing one where sequins are more understated. Depending on the event, choosing a completely sequined gown may be too holiday reminiscent for the summer.  One sequined gown that we love for the summertime is La Femme style 18710. It's an empire waist chiffon gown with a criss-cross sequined patterned sweetheart neckline and small diamond shaped open back. The sequined bodice adds the perfect amount of sparkle, while the flowy chiffon fabric is perfect for summertime.

However you decide to wear sequins in the summertime, you'll sparkle as much as the sun. Most importantly, you'll show everyone that whether winter or summer, sequins are always a way to look on-trend.

Although they’re not as glitzy as The Oscars, the Teen Choice Awards always bring best dressed celebrities out for a night of fun.  This year’s stars were no exception, strutting their stuff on the purple carpet at last night’s Teen Choice awards.

Selena Gomez celebrated her birthday last night in a pink, Dsquared2 short dress paired with cream Herve Leger heels, while Carly Rae Jepsen’s outfit would leave most calling her definitely!  Glee star Lea Michele looked amazing in her Versace dress with matching heels and we’re telling the truth when we say that Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale really rocked her bright Wes Gordon dress.

Although most critics are still debating whether or not Demi Lovato's Falguni + Shane Peacock dress was a hit or a miss, we give her credit for picking such a unique frock!  Taylor Swift certainly takes the crown though for her breathtaking ensemble, a stunning Maria Lucia Hohan gown with Prada Heels.
