Holidays

With New Year's Eve 2015 officially here, we wanted to take a moment to wish all of our Roo Girls a fabulous, glamorous, and sparkly New Year!

We hope that 2014 was full of not only lessons, but the best of times with your family and friends. And, with a brand new year here, we hope that 2015 brings you an incredible year that you'll never forget.

Ready or not, 2015 is here, so make the best of it! If you haven't thought of a New Year's Resolution yet, that's a great way to help get ready for the new year. And, of course, the most important part about getting ready for the new year is putting together that perfect NYE outfit! As you know so well, we love dresses at Rissy Roo's, and New Year's Eve is one of the best possible nights to rock a dress (even though it's cold out). So, whether you purchased a brand new dress to wear for this special night, or are breaking out your favorite reliable number, have fun putting your outfit together from head to toe! New Year's Eve is all about glitz, glam, and sparkle, so don't be afraid to accessorize. Whether sequin heels, a studded purse, or shiny jewelry, you'll stand out in style! Of course, if all else fails, you can always rely on a sparkly gold or silver dress to stand out on NYE.

Last, but not least, if you want to make sure you're ready for 2015 with a brand new dress, whether for your next party or for Prom 2015, don't forget that today is the final day of our End of the Year Sale. There are so many dresses at deep discounts right now, so have fun browsing and finding that dress you've been looking for at an incredible price.

Happy NYE 2015!!

The holidays are all about dressing up and going from party to party - an activity that every fashionista loves! But, sometimes it can be difficult to rock a new look for every single party, so mixing and matching is an essential part of any girl's holiday party wardrobe.

A couple of weeks ago we showed you 4 LBDs under $100 that can easily be mixed and matched with different accessories to wear both now and later, from day to night. This week, we're showing you one of our favorite accessories to help attending all of your holiday parties that much easier: our Sequin Crop Top T16758!

Sequin Crop Top T16758 is a stunning compliment to any party look. We especially love this crop top for the holidays because of its stand-out sparkly sequins, of course! It's a perfect option to add a little sparkle to any holiday outfit, whether the event's during the day or at night, with family or with friends. So, the photo above shows you how you can easily wear this look both now and later! You can rock it with jeans and a black tank top for a toned-down look for during the day at a family get-together or casual party. Then, step it up a notch for a nighttime holiday party by wearing it over a little black dress or with a cute skirt. In the photo above, the sequin crop top is paired with baby-doll flare dress D16988 and Bow by Jonathan Kayne open toe shoes.

If you love the idea of showing off some skin, but are afraid of showing off too much, this crop top is a great way to get the best of both worlds. Plus, if you decide you want to show off those shoulders and back as the night progresses, you can easily take the crop top on and off as you feel comfortable! This look is definitely all about comfort AND style, so rock it proudly!

The hotly anticipated PLL ChristmAs special episode finally aired, and it was incredible! Our favorite part? The dresses the Pretty Little Liars girls wore, of course! Most importantly about the dresses... they are all looks that can be worn for your next formal event... perhaps your very own holiday party... or Prom 2015! So, check out the looks each of the PLL girls wore below and how you can get them. Spoiler alert: one of them is even a Sherri Hill dress!

Allison

Allison DiLaurentis (Sasha Pieterse) rocked a look that was all about art deco elegance! Sharp lines and glittering sequins adorned her grey colored dress.

Get Allison's look with Sherri Hill 1939, an elegant evening gown that features a beautifully beaded illusion neckline, cap sleeves, open back and a flared mermaid style hemline.

Emily

Do you recognize the dress that Emily Fields (Shay Mitchell) wore in the PLL ChristmAs episode? It's a Sherri Hill dress! Emily rocked Sherri Hill 11157, a nude colored bias-cut deep v-neck beaded evening gown. The sparkles and nude color make this dress so perfect for a holiday formal event, but we also love it for prom! While this dress is discontinued, you can get a look just like it with another Sherri Hill dress, style 1959.

Spencer

Spencer Hastings (Troian Bellisario) rocked a sparkly silver number with spaghetti straps during the episode.

To get a look like Spencer's go with Dave & Johnny 687, a sparkly sequin evening gown with a sweetheart neckline and thin spaghetti straps. We especially love how this dress accents your waist, similar to Spencer's dress!

Hanna

 Hanna Marin (played one of our faves... Ashley Benson) rocked an elegant form fitting all over white lace gown.

Get Hanna's Pretty Little Liars Christmas special look with La Femme 20117, a sophisticated cap sleeve lace mermaid gown. Just like Hanna's dress, the lining is nude and the neckline is sweetheart shaped. This dress has a little bit of extra style, though, as it has an open back with sleeves hooking across the neck! We love the idea of rocking winter white for the holidays, so don't be afraid to wear this dress to a holiday party, just like Hanna did. And, of course, white is always perfect for prom season!

Aria

Aria Montgomery's (Lucy Hale) dress was so gorgeous...a present from her boyfriend Ezria! We loved the elegance of her floral and tulle cap sleeved look.

Get a glam, yet elegant look like Aria's with Sherri Hill 11171, a short and sophisticated cocktail dress that features a sheer neckline and cap sleeves that are covered in floral embroidery and a short layered tulle skirt. So pretty!

Leatrice Eiseman, the Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, described, "Marsala is a subtly seductive shade, one that draws us in to its embracing warmth." Want to see how you can bring this color into your own wardrobe this year? Below are our for favorite Marsala colored dresses: two for the holidays and two for prom.

Thanksgiving is almost here, and that means it's time for family get-togethers and late night parties with friends. So, to make sure you're ready in a perfect outfit, we picked out some of our favorite dresses that will effortlessly take you from a more traditional family event, to a night out with friends. Check out our Thanksgiving dress up ideas below!

You can never go wrong with a little black dress at any event, and this is one LBD that we absolutely love! Style D15016 is a jeweled neck cap sleeved party dress that's such a versatile pick. The cap sleeves make it so easy to wear to a family party, while the dress is just so cute and chick that it can take you anywhere in style! This is a great dress to wear throughout the Holiday season - from a Thanksgiving get-together, to an office holiday party, or even to a New Year's Eve party! For a more stand-out color, this dress also comes in red.
For another cap sleeves look that's all about versatility, go with Scala 48350. This hot little cocktail dress clings closely to curves to produce a look that is second to none. Tiny, twinkling accents wend their way around the dress for a softly glitzy look. It's all topped off by a scooped neckline and short sleeves. We just recommend throwing a cardigan over the dress for your family Thanksgiving dinner, which you can take off when it's time to go out with friends at night! Best yet, this dress is also so perfect for a New Year's Eve party.

For a more traditional look for Thanksgiving, go with Mac Duggal style 1654. It's a stunningly embellished dress with fantastic beading along the v-neckline. From small beads to large stones and hanging beading, this dress offers so much variety, style, and elegance. A gorgeous vine pattern of beaded embellishments flows throughout the dress and on the wide open, sheer sleeves. The charcoal color and leave pattern of this dress reminds us so much of a fall November night!

The newest season of Dancing with the Stars is in full swing (pun intended!), and the stars and talent are great...and the fashion is so amazing! This season's DWTS fashion is particularly glam, though, because the dancers are looking so beautiful in dresses from one of our favorite designers - Jovani! Check out the beautiful dancers in Jovani below.

Six-time World Champion and MMA and UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture partners with Karina Smirnoff wearing Jovani style 94443, a sexy short beaded backless dress with fringe detail on the shoulders and a deep v-neckline. It fit Karina so perfectly, and fringe is always a fun trend to rock while dancing to accentuate movement!

NASCAR legend Michael Waltrip partners with Emma Slater wearing Jovani style 93812, a sexy short beaded dress that features sheer cutouts. It's such a classy, yet sexy look!

Late-night television talk show host Tavis Smiley partners with pro dancer Sharna Burgess wearing Jovani style 93660, a sexy short beaded dress with sheer floral accents. This dress fitted Sharna like a glove!

We're obsessed with all three of these cocktail dresses, not only because of how stunning they look, but because they are so versatile! They're perfect to rock for not only a homecoming dance (so you can dance the night away in style like these DWTS dancers!), but for the Holidays or any other formal or semi-formal event you may have.
