Most of you are still gushing over how fabulous prom was and looking forward towards graduation and other memorable events. However, you can always rely on Fall to sneak up on you just like Summer did! Soon enough, you'll be looking for that perfect homecoming or Autumn evening dress. So, get in the mood and take a sneak peak of the Sherri Hill Fall 2014 Collection!

Sherri Hill Style 32002

The Sherri Hill 2014 Fall collection is very elegant and glamorous. While combining a mixture of short dresses, two-piece ensembles, and long gowns, each and every piece has the beauty and high fashion details one could only expect from such an elite designer. This collection is full of rich color's like black, red, emerald and royal blue. Many embellishments like intricate beading, geometric cut outs, and lavish lace are implemented throughout the entire collection, making the designs fit for a queen! We are dedicating this post as a preview of some of our favorite styles and trends to expect out soon!

Playful Two Pieces

Homecoming dresses are an entirely different look when comparing them to prom. They are generally a little less formal, although some schools make it a very fancy occasion. Typically, homecoming is a gathering of students uniting as one, celebrating the beginning of a new school year and showing their school spirit in hopes of leading their team to victory. Prom is more of a coming of age pastime and memorable occasion. Of course, no homecoming game is complete without a celebratory after-party! Sherri Hill's fall line is full of two-piece dresses that are fun, yet elegant enough to be worn as formal attire. Adorned with beautiful lace and various beads, these two pieces are an on going fashion hit!

Halloween may be over, but there's so many costumes that we're still obsessing over! The costume that former Miss USA Rachel Smith wore on Good Morning America's Halloween special is definitely one that we cannot forget. Why? Because she wore a Faviana dress!

 The Miss USA 2007 beauty queen wore Faviana style S7150 to dress as Giuliana Rancic, the E! News co-anchor, for the GMA Halloween Special. Giuliana is known for her on-point fashion sense, and the chiffon gown that Rachel wore definitely had her sparkling just like the journalist! Of course, with Rachel's own past as a beauty queen and as a co-host on the show OnTheRedCarpet, could we have really expected her to wear anything else on Halloween??

If you want to see what everyone else wore on the 2013 Good Morning America Halloween special, just click here. There were so many fun and creative costumes!

Happy Halloween! The day of dressing up as whatever your heart desires is finally here and it's time to celebrate. We're sure that you have your costume together already (if not, read yesterday's Easy Ways to Dress Up for Halloween blog post!), but you may not of had too much time to think about your nails. So, we are here to help out with some of our favorite Halloween nail art looks, and even a tutorial!

For a quick and easy Halloween nail look, just paint your nails black! To spice it up a notch, add some orange glitter like in the photo above, or paint one nail on each finger orange.

Love all the beautiful Halloween nail art, but fear that it's too hard for you? This simple spider Halloween look is too cute! You can even paint your nails a light orange instead of white for an even more Halloween-y look.

Halloween is tomorrow, so if you have not put your costume together yet, time is officially almost out! But, that doesn't mean it's too late. There's plenty of last minute ideas you can put together to show your Halloween spirit. Below are fabulously easy ways you can dress up a dress (we recommend a little black dress) for a perfect night of Trick or Treat fun.

1. Spooky Tights

There's no better way to add a unique flavor to your dress than to pair it with funky tights. Whether for Halloween or the Holidays, tights are always fun accessories. For Halloween, we're loving the skeleton, spider web, and haunted house we've been seeing all over Pinterest!

Haunted House Halloween tights like these will really have you looking like a fan of the Holiday! It's as easy as pairing it with a black shirt or LBD and black heels or boots for a look that will have you being in the Halloween spirit without having to go all-out with a costume.

These skeleton tights are perfect for pairing with an LBD and a skeleton mask or Dia de Los Muertos makeup!

These spider web tights are so chic! Pair it with an LBD and a witch's hat and high heels for a totally classy Halloween look.

Look at your local Halloween store, Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, or H&M for creepy Halloween tights like these.

2. Animal Ears

Pairing animal ears with an LBD is always a dependable way to go. Rather than picking up a pair at your local Halloween store, if you have the time, make them yourself! A wire headband, felt, and studs will have you on your way to some purrrfect cat ears (or bunny...or bear ears) to rock!

We loved ABeautifulMess.com's Animal Ears DIY. Start reading and get crafting!

3. Makeup!

Makeup is a girl's best friend, right? Well, it certainly couldn't be any more true on Halloween. Makeup will bring your whole look together, and there's plenty of costume ideas you can put together on makeup alone! One of the big trends this Halloween season is Dia de los Muertos skulls. All you have to do is get some black, white, yellow, and red paint and make your face into a colorful and flowery skull! Below are some of our favorite ideas when it comes to painting your face into a skull.

This is such a chic Halloween look, so don't be afraid to show off your creative skills if you decide to go with this costume idea! Dulce Candy's Sugar Skull/Dia de los Muertos Tutorial + DIY is a great video to watch if you want to try this look; check out her video below. It can just be time consuming to apply all of the makeup, so make sure to leave plenty of time for this one. And, just make sure to clean your face at the end of the night so the makeup isn't sitting on your skin for any longer than it needs to.

Of course, if you plan on being a vampire for Halloween, don't forget to watch our Vampire Halloween DIY Makeup Tutorial! What do you plan on being for Halloween? Leave us a comment below and share your ideas!

With Halloween only a week away, our newsletter this week was all about dressing up for the day of fright, fun, and lots and lots of candy! If you didn't get our newsletter, or just didn't get a chance to read it, we wanted to make sure write a post about it, as well, as we know how difficult it can be to put a perfect Halloween outfit together.

If you're stuck on what to wear, finding a sexy little black dress is always a choice you can count on. Two LBDs that we especially love for Halloween are Sticks & Stones by Mori Lee style 9200 and Dave & Johnny 8580.

Mori Lee 9200 is a strapless sweetheart cocktail dress with all over lace details. It's a sexy look that also comes in a Black/Nude color that can be paired with so may different accessories to make a limitless amount of different Halloween looks.

Dave & Johnny 8580 is a dress that we posted a few days ago in our Get Bewitched and Vamped Up for Halloween blog post. It's a dress that's a perfect combination of cute and sexy with the sheer, lace, sparkle, and tulle details.

Pair your favorite LBD with stand-out heels like Touch Ups Blake Platform Boot Pump or Baylee by Sizzle Black Beaded Pumps to finish off the dark, sophisticated look. Then, just pick out the accessories of the Halloween character you'd like to be, such as a witch's hat, a masquerade mask, cat ears, or a floral headband and Dia de Los Muertos face paint, to get that FANGtastic Halloween style!

Halloween is almost here, and we've been in full swing of matching our pretty dresses with accessories for a classy (and classic) Halloween look. Just a few days ago, we showed you how you can so easily create a sexy witch or vampire look with a little black dress. Today, we're here to show you how to finish off that look with makeup! Roo Girl Stephanie went to work to show you how you can easily create a perfect sultry look with makeup...it's all about that deep, dark eyeshadow! Check out her video below. All you'll need to do is add the fangs!

Even though LBDs are an easy and affordable way to get the perfect vampire dress, designers lately have been all about lace and darker colors for Fall 2103. So, it's made for so many great dresses that are so perfect to be used for a vamp costume, and Stephanie shows off one of our favorites at the end of the video: Sherri Hill style 21156. The combination of the fitted corset-like bodice, elegant black jewels, black lace, and deep red color on this dress screams to be paired with fangs and just the right amount of blood for a super classy and sexy vamp look! It also comes in a black color that's great for being a vampire, too.

Halloween is only two weeks away, so if you haven't started putting your costume together yet, it is definitely time. Two costumes that are always classic and dependable choices are a witch and vampire! There's many ways you can put a witch or vampire costume together, but one way that we love is to pair a hat and broom or vampire teeth with a sexy little black cocktail dress. You'll have such a classy costume, and a dress that you can wear time and time again! So check out two of our favorite little black dresses below to get a classy witch or vampire look.

Dave & Johnny style 8580 is a stunning beaded tulle dress that has such a unique look to it. The beautiful beaded detailing makes it such a classy choice, while the sheer fabric around the bodice and back gives it a sexy look. It's a perfect choice for Prom and Homecoming, but you can also get another use out of it on Halloween!

Get lace, black, and purple galore in Sticks & Stones by Mori Lee style 9185! It's a lace over sequins cocktail dress with long lace sleeves and an open back that will be sure to have you in the Halloween mood. It's a great dress for night out with friends, whether that's on Halloween or any other time of the year.

Whether red lips and sharp teeth or a fancy hat and broom, just make sure to pick out the right accessories to match your LBD. Just remember, the accessories are the easy part, so make sure to take the proper time to find that perfect LBD.
