Spring Trend: Flower Power!

When Spring rolls around, one thing comes to mind first: flowers! Floral prints are a recurring trend every spring but this year, it's louder than ever and brighter than ever.Floral prints were seen in head to toe looks on the runways.
When wearing floral prints this year don't be afraid to go bold. Try prints in neon colors or with varying sizes. For a toned down floral look, try wearing a floral top, skirt, or pants paired with  a neutral or take it up a notch by paiting it with a brightly colored top or bottom in the same color family.
For a floral look from head to toe, try a floral print dress or jumpsuit. Nude shoes will always work but try adding brightly colored shoes for more of a bold look.

Old takes on the trend:

Eleonora of Toledo, 1543     Princess Grace Kelly, 1955    Melissa Joan Hart, 90s

Floral Print All Over by princess-smiley featuring black jumpsuits and rompers

Prom Shopping Tip #2: Use Those Codes!

Prom is getting closer! If you plan on buying your dress, shoes, accessories, or anything else online, make sure you take advantage of coupon codes!

Yay for throwback magazine covers!

Make sure to use your social skills and sign up for emails, follow on twitter, or like on facebook the stores you are planning on shopping at. You'll be the first to know whenever they have sales, or coupon codes to save you money.
Also take advantage of your birthday. If you have a birthday in April or May, sign up for all the stores you can. Most stores send out special coupon codes just for your birthday.

Around this time of year, jewelry and beauty stores are flooded with prom shoppers and to bring in even more coupons and coupon codes are sent out all over the internet. Prom magazines are full of them. Special issues like Seventeen Prom and Teen Magazine Prom are full of coupin codes and contests on many of the pages. And make sure you pay attention to the ads. Some ads can be traded in for a makeover if you bring them to department store makeup counters or nationwide hair salons.

Last but not least don't make the mistake of buying something online for full price because you didn't get emailed a coupon code. Many people are kind enough to post coupon codes they received online for everyone to see. All you have to do is search on google (ex: "promgirl coupon codes" or "rent the runway coupon codes" etc.).

I hope these tips will help you and happy prom shopping!

Free Money is the Best Money

Prom Shopping Tip #1: Can't Own It? Rent It!

It's prom season! If you haven't already started looking for your dress now is the time!
Many girls dream of the prom night as soon as they learn what it is (I was six and I saw it on the Rugrats) and all you want is for the night to be perfect right? Perfect dress, date, limo, the works. But many of us have one thing keeping us from that perfect night: Money. So what can you do to save money on your big night?
For those that have haute coture dreams and a retail budget, there is a miracle website called Rent the Runway.
Rent the Runway is an online store where you can rent designer clothes for 90% off retail price. Imagine wearing a $1,000 Herve Leger bandage dress for $100 or an $800 necklace for only $95. Sounds amazing right? It gets better. Once you find your dream dress, you simply reserve it up to six months in advance for the day of your event. They ship it to you two days before your event, and they pay for you to ship it back two days after. No dry cleaning needed! At first it may sound risky. There are so many things that could go wrong. What happens if what you order doesn't fit? What happened if you spill something on it or tear it? Well the ladies at Rent the Runway have all of that taken care of!
Before ordering your dress, check the sizing and fit tab. It uses as much detail as possible to let you know how the dress will fit. Whether you're worried about, height, hip size, bust size, body shape, they've got it all there for you. Once you do order your dress, you can automatically select a backup size at no cost to you. If the second dress still doesn't fit, you can send them back and your money will be refunded.
If you are worried about spilling something or tearing your rented item you can buy insurance for $12.
Rent the Runway also has a huge variety of jewelry, handbags, and wraps for the night.
Rent the Runway is an amazing website. And I should know; I wore an Herve Leger bandage dress for prom my junior year:

Searching for the perfect dress can't be any easier. You can narrow down your search by event, age, body type, length, size rental fee, date, color, neckline, embellishment, sleeve, style, and designer! And if you need any help you can chat with one of their stylits to find the perfect look for you!
So try Rent the Runway today!

Spring Trend: Statement Earrings

It's spring! Time to be upbeat and happy! Okay so that's not always the case, but with all of the bright colors and interesting accessories hitting the runways and stores, how can you not help but feel a little cheery?
Statement earrings have taken back the spotlight from statement necklaces and have been showing up everywhere from models, to celebrities, to everyday people.
The key to statement earrings are one word: Statement! They should be your most noticable accessory. Think of words that draw attention; big, bright, long, or quirky.
To master statement earrings keep your other jewelry simple. It shouldn't distract from the pieces of art hanging at your ears.

Old takes on the trend:

Nefertari c. 1254 B.C.,           Twiggy c. 1960s,           Salt-n-Pepa c. 1980s

Statement earrings can be found anywhere at different price ranges from flea markets to department stores. You can even get creative and easily make them yourself.

Lulu's $36.00

Forever21 $3.80

Charlotte Russe $6.00

Modcloth $41.99
