  • Get Ready for your Winter and Holiday Formals with A Roo Girl!

    The most exciting part of having an upcoming event is picking out the perfect outfit, which goes far beyond just the dress. You also have to make sure you have the perfect hairstyle, make up, and shoes to truly complete your outfit! Because of all these important aspects of putting an outfit together, sometimes it can turn into a lengthy process, especially if you have no idea where to start! So, we're going to show you how we get ready for our special events in four easy steps! Read on for easy steps to get ready for a winter inspired dance or formal event.

    Step 1: Pick which dress length you would feel most comfortable in. Since you're going to a formal event, you'll be walking, sitting and probably dancing. Therefore, you want to choose a dress that doesn't keep you from the fun! And, of course, one that you love!

    Blush style 9800We chose Blush 9800, a floor-length, powder blue/nude mermaid gown!

    Step 2: Now that you've picked your perfect dress, it's time to move onto shoes. We tend to go with heels for most formal events, but if you're not comfortable wearing heels you could always go with a dressy pair of flats, especially if you plan on wearing a long gown that will hide the shoes anyway! Listed below are Sizzle by Coloriffics Andes and Touch Ups Dale - two shoes that we'd love to wear with Blush 9800!

    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!
