purple dress

Valentine's Day is so close, and we cannot wait to dress up for the day of red, pink, and purple! V-Day is all about dressing up and looking pretty...it is the day of love, after all...so we wan't to make sure to give you some ideas on what to wear if you are still looking for that perfect outfit. Check out some of our favorite Valentine's Day dresses below to get you in the mood for the big day!

For a red V-Day dress, we're all about Terani style H1938. It's a chiffon jersey single shoulder ruched dress with a beautiful open back, accented with a hand beaded 3D rope detail at waist. The combination of the one-shoulder, sheer side cut-out, and open back make this dress so sexy and Valentine's Day appropriate! We especially love the deep red Cherry color Continue reading →

It's Fall, The Vampire Diaries Season Premiere was last night, and The Originals' had their show premiere earlier this week! We are most definitely back into the Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder, and Paul Wesley spirit!

One thing that we're always loving is Nina's style. Not only does she wear some killer styles on The Vampire Diaries, but she never disappoints off-screen, either. Seventeen Magazine posted a picture of Nina all ready for the Fall months, wearing a leather jacket and purple ombre jeans that we're totally crushing over. She looked so chic, and we just can't get over the ombre look!

We love the ombre trend! It's a look you can pull off year-round, and wear from your day-to-day style to your next formal event. Want to bring Nina's style to Homecoming or Prom? Check out our favorite purple ombre looks below, and click here to shop all ombre dresses.

For a cute short purple ombre look for Homecoming, we love Dave & Johnny style 8725. The dress has spaghetti straps and an exaggerated sweetheart neckline. The jewels and elegant beadwork all throughout the bodice gives the dress such an opulent look.

For a deep to light purple bold look like Nina's jeans, it's all about La Femme style 17004! It's a gorgeous ombre chiffon gown with criss-cross designs across the sweetheart neckline. This simple and elegant dress lets the ombre speak for itself, the same way that Nina let her pants speak for themselves by pairing them with a plain black shirt and jacket.

For a fun and sparkly look, we're obsessed with Jovani style 6432. It's a strapless ball gown with a mirrored sequin bodice and ombre skirt. It's a perfect way to really have a stand-out look!

The 2013 Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Emmys were last night, Sunday September 22nd, and they were full with so many talented actors and actresses! We were glued to the TV watching all of the awards being announced, but of course, first and foremost is the red carpet for us Roo Girls!

There were so many stunning gowns on this year's red carpet that our verdict is still out on which were our favorites. But, there was one trend that we noticed the celebrities wearing that we're already obsessing over: elegant gowns in electric blue and royal purple! So many of the ladies wore solid colored gowns in one of these bold colors. With the first day of Fall having landed yesterday, everyone must be getting in the mood for darker Fall and Winter colors! Check out who some of our favorite celebrities were that rocked these two hues, and how you can steal the look for Homecoming or Prom!

After writing about the most popular dresses from the 2013 Prom season among our customers last week, we decided to ask a few of the Rissy Roo's employees what their favorite dresses of the season were! There was so many gorgeous dresses this season that it was a tough choice to make, but our Roo Staff voted it down to three favorites. Take a look below!

Renee, one of our customer service representatives, chose Sherri Hill 21016 in Red. Renee is a huge fan of lace and loved the way it was used in this beautiful hi-lo strapless Sherri Hill dress. Hi-lo, lace, and nude were popular trends this year, so combining all three into one look definitely makes for a winning dress! Continue reading →
