Rissy Roo's Fashion News

St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner, and that means it's time to put lots of green on! We love this holiday of course because it's a perfect excuse to wear a cute dress. When it comes to showing some St. Paddy's Day pride, your look doesn't have to be head-to-toe green, but with Emerald Green being the 2013 Color of the Year, could you ask for a better time to show off your on-trend style? We didn't think so. Nothing says St. Patrick's Day better than a Little Green Dress, so check out our favorites for the holiday below!

Our favorite dress for St. Patrick's day is Sherri Hill style 21131 in lime green. The neon green color is so perfect for standing out in the sea of green that you're bound to be in on this day, and the bandage fabric is super figure flattering. Best of all, since neon is so on-trend right now, it's the perfect dress to wear time and time again in the spring and summer months.

If neon isn't your thing and you'd rather go with a darker green dress, La Femme style 15907 is a great option.  It's a net pleated short dress with a V shaped front and back. The toned-down green color makes it easy to wear for any other event you may have once St. Patrick's Day has come and gone.

Want to rock the Color of the Year, Emerald Green? Sparkle style 71192 is not only good for that, but also for getting two looks in one! This fun and flirty hi-lo cocktail dress features a strapless neckline, all over sequin body and a removable short tulle over-skirt with a satin bow at the waist. What a perfect way to not only have a dress for St. Paddy's Day, but to rock the on-trend look at Prom, too!

Hopefully this St. Patrick's Day will be a warm one, but if it's cold, wearing black stockings with your dress is a great way to finish off the look and stay a little warmer for the day.

Dayne Aulffo, a local Rissy Roo's customer, reached out to us on Facebook and sent us such a cute photo of her, her sister Tyler, and her friend Sam all dressed up! In the photo below, Dayne is all the way to the right, her friend Sam is in the middle, and her sister is all the way to the left. And, whose that cute baby, you ask? Sam's sister is the mom! His name is Kayden, and he's just too cute!

When Dayne sent the photo to us, she said:

"Me and my sister love your store and go there for every occasion...Just wanted to share how gorgeous your dresses are!"

Are there many things that we like more than prom and Pretty Little Liars? We don't think so! We've been keeping up with Ashley on PLL, and of course we're obsessed with all of the Faviana prom dresses that she modeled in. But, now she's on the April 2013 cover of Seventeen Magazine! As part of the feature article, Seventeen sat down with her at the Faviana headquarters in NYC to get the scoop on her favorite looks for prom, PLL, and her new film, Spring Breakers.

When it came to prom looks, we were so surprised to hear that Ashley has never even been to prom before! When Seventeen asked what style dress she'd wear to prom, she answered:

"I actually never went to prom before! I would probably wear a short, fun dress. Faviana is a line that girls can feel super-glamorous in. A lot of their designs are kind of based off of what celebrities wear on the red carpet!"

We can agree with her on that - Faviana definitely has some super glamorous dresses!

As far as PLL goes, Ashley's inside scoop on the season finale is getting us way too excited to find out what happens already:

"Well, we find a body. We don't know if it's dead or alive. Also, we get trapped in a house with "A" and all the helpers. There's a big fire that happens. We all kind of get near death. As always!"

To get a behind the scenes look at the April 2013 Seventeen cover shoot, make sure to watch this cute video with Ashley:

Audrey Hepburn once said a great quote that we think represents the modern woman so well:

“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.”

Harness Audrey's insightful thoughts today and feel proud to be a woman, because today is our day! And, make sure to spread the love to the other women in your lives. As we said on twitter, #GirlsRunTheWorld, afterall!

You may remember us mentioning Faviana style 7182 in our Best Dressed Celebrities of 2012 blog post that we wrote back in January. Jennifer Lawrence rocked a similar gold dress during the Hollywood premiere of the Hunger Games, and we loved the look so much that we made her one of our favorite four celebrity looks of 2012!

Because we love Faviana style 7182 so much, this time we want to give the dress its own special spotlight! It's a sexy foil jersey mermaid style evening gown with mesh details. It comes in colors Oscar Gold, Sapphire, and Silver.

One of the reasons we love the dress so much is because Jennifer isn't the only celeb known for rocking such a similar style. Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson wore the actual dress in the Sapphire color for a photo shoot she did with Faviana! Check out two of the shots below.

This week's prom trend has been becoming more and more popular over the past couple of years. It seems like everybody wants to show off their legs! If you want to go for that super girly-girl look, this trend will definitely suit your needs.

We love the short prom dress look! It's fun and easy to move around in so you can break it down on the dance floor. We also love the short look because it's so perfect for those that are obsessed with shoes. With this look, make sure to find the perfect statement heels to wear with your outfit. To complete your look, try moisturizing your lovely stems with some shimmery liquid bronzing lotion!

Our favorite short little numbers are below, but there's definitely a ton more out there this year. If you want to browse through them all, just click here!

1. Sherri Hill 21156 -Elegant and classy strapless cocktail dress with intricate beaded detail around the bodice and sweetheart neckline, with a lace overlay.

2. La Femme 18418 Electric Purple Cocktail Dress - Fun and flirty cocktail dress with a layered chiffon skirt. The bodice is sequin with a sweetheart neckline, empire waist, and satin piping along the bodice.

Surprise, Surprise! Kendall & Kylie Jenner were yet again found in a fashion magazine! While they weren't the cover girls this month, Glamour featured them in their March 2013 issue, where they had a short, but great interview with the sisters.

In the interview, they talked all about family and constantly being in the spotlight, as well as, of course, fashion and beauty tips. Kendall mentioned that when it comes to make-up, she loves the natural look, and that the two of them always make sure to wear sunscreen on their faces. Smart! Kylie mentioned, "I always end up wearing red and black." Those are definitely two colors that go perfect together! Our favorite piece of style advice came from Kendall: "I start out with one piece that I really want to wear and build from there to make it better." Great idea when it comes to prom dresses, that's for sure!

The March 2013 issue of Glamour Magazine is on news stands now, so make sure to pick up a copy to read the entire interview!

Finding the perfect dress to wear to a winter wedding can be difficult; you want to wear a cute dress, but it's cold out! Whether a formal or semi-formal wedding, here's some ideas that are perfect for showing off your fashion sense during the one month when dresses aren't quite as easy to wear.

Formal Wedding

This type of wedding usually means it's good to wear a long dress, since it's the winter time. Black is the perfect color for winter because the darker color is always appropriate, no matter what the setting.  It can also always be dressed up or down with accessories, depending on just how formal the black-tie affair is.

The first dress is La Femme style 18928, an elegant and classic jersey gown with satin accents and criss-cross satin straps under the bust. The back also has satin straps that criss-cross with a rhinestone brooch in the center. Since it's a simple black gown, you can have a lot of fun changing the look with accessories.

The second dress is a fancier number that's perfect if you know the event you are attending is on the more formal side. It's Alyce Jean De Lys style 29602, a satin and lace gown with a scoop-neck. The cap sleeves and black lace make is so perfect for the colder months!

 Semi-Formal Wedding

If it's a semi-formal wedding, a cocktail dress is the perfect choice. This type of wedding allows you to be much more flexible with your outfit and more easily show off your style. Our two favorite cocktail dresses for a winter wedding are below - the longer sleeves make them so perfect for the winter time. And, since they're just classic cocktail dresses, they can be worn for a number of other occasions, too!

For a funkier look, we love Jovani style 74207. It's a short cocktail dress with 3/4 length sleeves and illusion detail that shows off just enough skin, while still having that classy look for a wedding.

for a cocktail dress on the more formal size, we love Alyce Jean De Lys style 29524. This chic and classy short dress has a lace over satin fabric with a scoop neckline and 3/4 length illusion sleeves. Best yet, it's a classic little black dress that can be word to many different events!
