Wear Watermelon This Weekend!

Filed under: Prom Advice — sorsonel @ 3:26 pm

A watermelon skirt is perfect for spring!

TGIF!! Most people look forward to the weekend, I know I do! Having a few days off to get your mind off the real world and hopefully having some fun with friends and family. When you are getting ready this weekend for dinner, dancing or just to go to the mall…pull something watermelon out of your closet! Watermelon is so fashion forward right now and this is a trend that you want to jump on!

If you don’t have anything watermelon to wear, it is time to go shopping and buy something in watermelon or paint your nails so that they pop. Watermelon is a phenomenal color with all hair colors and skin tones. It is a marvelous color to mix and match with. Pair a black blouse with a watermelon skirt or compliment a white cocktail dress with watermelon pumps. Watermelon is also being seen in makeup this season. A touch of watermelon eye shadow can really make your baby blues stand out or a touch of watermelon blush can give you those high cheek bones you desire.

Fashion designers were showing a lot of color blocking with watermelon for Spring 2012. The 80’s style is really hot this year. The runway displayed watermelon with lime greens, yellows and a variety of shades of blue. If you are not into the 80’s look, try a more classy approach. Watermelon looks great with basic black or solid white. Keeping the accent colors neutral is a timeless look and can look great on any age woman or for any occasion. Watermelon is such a fun burst of color, be sure to keep your wardrobe rockin’ with some watermelon this weekend!

Bright is Back!

Filed under: Prom Advice — sorsonel @ 3:02 pm

Luxe & Edge staying on trend with color blocking

Summer is right around the corner and bright colors have already made their entrance this year!  Spring fashion shows were filled with bold bright colors such as tangerine, turquoise and yellow.  Fun fuchsias and powerful purples have also had an impact on the spring collections.  With the weather warming up, we are going to see more and more bright colors this year.  So put away your dark winter clothes and step into a spectacular summer wardrobe!

At the start of 2012, leading designers and fashion bloggers announced that tangerine tango was the color of the year!  Tangerine is a spectacular color in more than one way.  Not only is it bright and bold but it looks good with most hair colors and skin tones.  It is also a great accent color.  You can spice up a plain black outfit with tangerine lip stick or eye shadow.  Or add a pop of color to a white sundress with tangerine accessories.  There are so many shades of orange available this year that you can incorporate tangerine into almost any outfit.

Color blocking with bright colors was on almost every runway!  This is not the year to be afraid of color.  Mixing green, yellow, orange and red is a high fashion look that will have you feeling like a designers muse.  Color blocking has been used on trousers, blouses and couture gowns.  Have fun this summer in a color blocked cocktail dress as a wedding guest, for a dinner date, or even a night out with friends.  And if a dress is too much, start with a pair of stiletto’s that have all the colors of summer.  Join the trend for summer and step out in bright colors because Bright is Back!!

Outrageous Nails Are In!

Filed under: Prom Advice — sorsonel @ 4:58 pm

Outrageous Nails Are In

Nails, Nails, Nails!!  There is something fun and freeing about getting your nails done.  No matter what dress size you are, what age you are, or what your skin color is…nails are something everyone can experiment with.   There is so much access to nail art that you can really let your personality shine through with your nails.  It is an exciting way to change up your look every couple weeks without breaking the bank or altering your natural look completely.   Now-a-day’s people are really getting outrageous with their nails and I am just loving it!

There are different types of nails.  If you want to play with prints and colors without ruining your real nails, there are stick on kits or nail polish that will have heads turning.  If you don’t mind the extra money or time, a professional nail artist will put your nails over the edge and have you feeling fabulous.  Getting your nails done is also a great experience to do with your friends or family.  You can catch up on your girl time and relax while someone makes your nails look beautiful.  There are two types of “fake” nails you can get at a salon.  Acrylic, which is a little more damaging to the nail and looks less natural but, will give you that full clean set look.  There is also powder gel, which is less damaging and, in my opinion, a little more natural looking but they are usually more expensive.  Whether you decide to go natural or opt for the fake nails, there are so many options that you can have fun with!

In the past, people would stick to the standard feminine colors such as nudes, reds or pinks.  In today’s world, anything goes!  You can really let your inner wild woman shine through without changing your appearance.  You can do funky prints, glamorous rhinestones or just vibrant colors to change your nail look.  Neon’s are making a comeback in all areas of fashion and your nails are a great place to start if you haven’t really tried the neon trend yet.  No matter where fashion is heading go with a color, style or print that makes you happy!  But remember, they are just nails and you can easily change them.  So when it comes to your nails, try something new and don’t be afraid to be a little outrageous!

Stay Stylish with These Spring and Summer Makeup Tips

Filed under: Prom Advice — Tags: — sorsonel @ 8:03 pm

May is just around the corner and for most of the U.S. the warm weather is already here, and judging by how hot it has gotten in the past couple weeks things probably won’t be cooling off again until it’s time to shop for the new fall looks. But warm weather means more than just fun in the sun; it means it’s time to think about changing your skin care and makeup regimen for the warmer months to come.
The best place to start looking for inspiration for your new style is the spring runways, which have featured very feminine and demure designs this year and paired those designs skillfully with soft, natural looks. Spring and summer makeup this year is going to be very subdued, with plenty of earthy blushes and natural flesh tones of shell, taupe and caramel. These colors paired with nude and cream colored lips and a modern matte finish create a very natural look that is flattering on almost every skin type. Remember to complement your style with a colorful and feminine short dress.
If you are feeling particularly bold one warm sunny day there are plenty of more daring statements to be made as well. For example neons are back with bright orange and tangerine colors leading the way. This color is perfect on the lips if you have a darker complexion or can be used for truly dramatic effect around the eyes. But remember that you have to make a choice, go heavy on the neons in both places and you’re only a bad perm away from looking like you fell out of an 80’s movie!
As always good skincare is a must in summer, and don’t forget to protect yourself with a good SPF if you plan on being out in the sun for long periods of time. Whichever look you decide to go with remember to stay away from the heavier products when makeup shopping this spring, thicker products tend to have much more grease which will crease and melt in the heat, not to mention wreak havoc on your pores.

And always remember spring and summer are about youth and natural beauty, so let be sure to accent your best features and remember that sometimes in fashion less is more.

Beware Knock Off Sites When Buying a Prom Dress Online!

Filed under: Prom Advice — Tags: — sorsonel @ 9:49 pm

Hello girls, Promgirl.net is proud to announce we have just received the seal of approval from the fine folks over at Top Prom Websites. As some of you have already been unfortunate enough to find out there are A LOT of websites out there selling what they claim are specially made designer gowns but in reality are nothing more than cheaply made knock offs!

Well respected retailers and designers across the country have begun to fight back, and Promgirl.net is happy to join in the fight. Top Prom Websites has been established as an advocacy group to help raise awareness about this illegal and dishonest practice that has already left too many girls with horrid rags when they thought they were buying a designer gown. If you’re interested in learning more check out their website at www.toppromwebsites.com and learn how to spot these crooks before you push the BUY button!

Also remember to let all your friends who are still searching for dresses know about the danger of buying these knock offs. It can do more than just ruin a prom, we are now learning that there is concern that some of these knock off sites are using factories that violate environmental safety laws and even use child labor!

Please make sure that you do your homework before buying a dress this season because together we can put an end to these terrible practices. And as always you will be able to find a wonderful selection of authentic designer dresses and gowns at promgirl.net!

Rock your prom in a high-low dress!

Filed under: Prom 2011 — sorsonel @ 8:19 pm

Prom season has finally arrived and it’s never too early to find your perfect dress. The trends this year are fun, flirty and bold! Style experts at Harvey’s Fashions and Bridals in Beckley, West Virginia seek to find the latest trends. Assistant Store Manager of Havery’s Bridal and Fashion Debbie Ballard said,

“The high low dresses are very popular this year, everyone just has their own style, the bold colors some of the girls just look better in the pastel colors.”

Whether you are looking to be bold and fashion forward or classy and elegant, the high low style dress can be the choice for either!

How can you get the right look with a high low dress? Featured is the 2012 Clarisse prom dress. It is a halter dress that has shear fabric connecting to the sweetheart bust with silver sequins that light this dress up and adds the perfect amount of sparkle. The dramatic slit and plunging neckline plays up a fashion forward side and the soft pastel yellow keeps the dress classy and elegant. It is the perfect dress for every occasion! To make this dress even more bold, have fun with dramatic make-up and chunky, bright accessories. To make this look more classy, stick with neutral make-up and add a simple pendant necklace with studded earrings.

Someone like Adele

Filed under: Prom 2011 — sorsonel @ 8:51 pm



Nearly a week ago the 54th annual Grammy Awards took place in Los Angeles, California. Celebrities from all over came to be a part of the event, but one in particular stole the show; Adele. Adele’s album “21” earned her a total of six awards including album of the year, but it wasn’t just her music that got everyone’s attention. Her glamorous simple sparkle dress was a hit on the red carpet. It was a black high neckline Giorgio Armani gown that made her look flawless.  She paired the gown with delicate curls, bold lashes and liner, and elegant red lips.

How can you be “Someone like Adele”? Your dress does not have to be over the top to look great on your special day. Adele’s simple black dress was chic and flattering. She then wore bold make up to draw attention to her natural beauty and framed her face with soft curls. This old Hollywood style is a classic look that is easy to re-create and almost anyone can pull off.

Adele will remember the 2012 Grammy Awards show for the rest of her life; make your prom one of those memories!

Runway Beauty Looks for the Spring!

Filed under: Prom 2011 — sorsonel @ 3:09 pm

New York Fashion Week is here and in full swing! Shows in Milan and Paris have already taken place and the runway looks are starting hot new trends!

Models have been sporting many different hairstyles, but the most common has been a “Shower N’ Go” look. This has had models wearing their hair slicked back and wet on top with drying ends, or completely drenched curls or ponytails. This look has also been repeated with the use of hairspray or gel in tight ponytails or glossy curls. The shimmering look makes the hair appear wet. This style has been seen by BCBG coming down the runway in their 2012 collection. Another popular style is a decorated up-do. Many designers have models with ballet buns decorated with braids, jewelry, gems, you name it. Some even have long braids intertwined with fabric or wire to give an extremely different look.

A popular trend for make-up coming down the runway is splashes of color. Many models have been shown with bright nails, lips, cheeks, and eyes. Splashes of color add extra attention to the face or pizzazz to the nails. Red or blush lips are also popular with the old Hollywood glam to natural beauty looks. Betsy Johnson also had models in silver eyeliner! Gold, silver, and sparkle eyeliner and eye shadow was quite popular on the runway. It gives extra shimmer to the eyes and added glamour to the outfits. NY Fashion Week is until February 16th; look out for more runway trends!
