Snippets of Miley Cyrus' new album, entitled Bangerz, have been dropping all weekend, and now the whole album is streaming for FREE on iTunes! The album was made available to stream on September 30th, 4 days before the album will be available in stores to purchase.

The album definitely shows Miley leaving behind her Disney Channel Hannah Montana days and connection to her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, as a country singer, but we're totally loving it! From her VMAs performance to her new "Wrecking Ball," music video, there's certainly been a lot of hype surrounding her new "bad girl" image. And, to answer all the ridicule, Miley said in the MTV documentary Miley: the Movement, "I just needed to let go of the past in a way, so I felt like I could be the bad b---h I am." All we can say is rock on to that!

In conjunction with Mike WiLL Made It as the partial producer of the album, Miley has a completely new sound, so it's great to get to listen to it before the album hits stores. It's an emotionally driven album, with Miley already revealing that one song, "Drive," was written during a difficult time. She told FASHION Magazine, "I wrote it while I was working on Valentine's Day. Emotionally it was such a hard time. It is about needing to leave someone but not really wanting to completely cut yourself off from the relationship. It’s a time when you want to leave but you can’t. It's about moving on."

Here’s the full list of the songs on the Bangerz album:

1. “Adore You”
2. “We Can’t Stop”
3. “SMS (Bangerz),” featuring Britney Spears
4. “4×4,” featuring Nelly
5. “My Darlin’,” featuring Future
6. “Wrecking Ball”
7. “Love Money Party,” featuring Big Sean
8. “#GETITRIGHT”
9. “Drive”
10. “FU,” featuring French Montana
11. “Do My Thang”
12. “Maybe You’re Right”
13. “Someone Else”
14. “Rooting for my Baby”
15. “On My Own”
16. “Hands in the Air,” featuring Ludacris

It's a new season, and that means it's a perfect time to reinvent yourself! Especially with Homecoming here, it's a perfect time to try out a new look, whether it be the type of dress you choose to wear to your homecoming dance, the makeup you wear, or a totally new hairstyle! We know it can be scary to change a style you've become so accustomed to, which is why we're totally in love with Seventeen Magazine's Virtual Makeover Tool!

The Seventeen Mag Virtual Makeover Tool is a perfect way to try out a new hairstyle or makeup look without taking the risk of actually cutting your hair, or spending hours doing your makeup, only to find out that you're totally not feeling it. You can either upload your own photo to get the most accurate results, or use one of Seventeen's models for a quicker option.

The hair options are super fun because they're all taken from celebrities. So, if there's certain celeb looks that you've been wanting to try out so badly, but have been too scared to pull the trigger, take a look at Seventeen's gallery! They have everyone from Katy Perry to Blake Lively.

The makeup part is so fun, too! You get to choose makeup for your eyes, lips, and overall face. Best yet, the tool will even tell you the exact makeup that's being used, so you can go out and get it yourself. And, if you just can't even decide where to start when it comes to the makeup, there's a whole slew of celebrity looks you can choose from for an "instant makeup look." If you choose from a celebrity's makeup look, the tool will still tell you exactly what makeup was used. It doesn't get much easier than this!

Have fun with your virtual self, and comment below if you find a new look that you love!

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!

Bright Blue

Actress and comedian Allison Williams wore a bold, bright blue gown that was just so elegant. The simplicity of the gown let the color speak for itself. We especially loved how the Continue reading →

New York Fashion Week 2013 may have come to a close, but we're still oogling over all the lovely looks! We talked about Sherri Hill's runway show last week...but we're still not over all the beautiful new dresses they debuted, especially Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson's new line with the designer, "Sadie Robertson Live Original." So, we wanted to recap some of the pretty dresses she wore on the runway. The dresses aren't out yet, but take a sneak peek below at some of the new Sherri Hill dresses to come for Spring 2014. And, they are all of course ,"daddy approved," so they're definitely formal appropriate (hint, hint...a little prom inspiration!)!

Above, Sadie Robertson is on the stage with the dress designer herself, Sherri Hill! She's wearing a gorgeously elegant polka dot gown that will be available for Prom 2014. The look may be, "daddy approved," but will still definitely be turning a lot of heads!

 

As a "sneak peek" to what was to come on the runway, Sadie wore a different polka dot look on the red carpet. This first polka dot dress she wore was a short cocktail dress - so perfect for a fun and flirty look for a formal event!

Another Sherri Hill look that she rocked so perfectly on the runway was the above champagne colored cocktail dress. The lace detailing at the bottom of the dress and rhinestone encrusted sweetheart neckline add the perfect extra touches to make it such a unique look!

Before the show in an interview with E!, Sadie admitted that she was, "a little nervous, but more excited than anything." She definitely didn't show her nerves on the runway - she walked it like a seasoned model! These dresses will be coming to www.RissyRoos.com for Spring 2014, and we'll definitely keep you updated once they arrive. Stay tuned!

 

Dress designer Sherri Hill is always teaming up with celebrities to either create custom lines of dresses or to show off their dresses on the runway, and we're always on the look-out for the designer's next endeavor. Well, with Homecoming 2013 here and Prom 2014 just around the corner, Sherri Hill is hard at work teaming up with her next celebrity. This time, it's Sadie Robertson from A&E reality TV show Duck Dynasty!

Sherri Hill teamed up with Sadie Robertson to create an original collection of prom dresses for Spring 2014. The "Sadie Robertson Live Original" collection by Sherri Hill is retro inspired, has "Willie approved" dress lengths, and definitely has something for every prom girl.

When coming up with the collaboration, Sherri Hill explained that inspiration came from seeing girls all around the country emphasizing with Sadie while watching her try to find a dress in the Duck Dynasty "Homecoming Episode" last year. Sherri Hill said, "This year, Sadie won't have any problem finding a prom dress that she loves and that makes her dad happy."

Following in the footsteps of Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Sadie will walk the runway in Sherri Hill's New York Fashion Week show on September 9th. She'll also be featured in the Spring 2014 lookbook!

Sherri Hill is one of the go-to designers for young Hollywood celebrities red carpet moments and performances, including Selena Gomez, Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, and Bella Thorne. So, it's definitely no surprise that Sherri Hill is teaming up with Sadie this year!

The "Sadie Robertson Original" collection will be available in Spring 2014, so keep a look-out! We'll definitely make sure to update you as the dresses come in for Prom Season!

 

School is just around the corner and you know what that means.. homecoming! And, everyone here at Rissy Roo's is definitely excited for homecoming! Not only are we looking forward to helping you pick out your dream dress, we want to show you some new hair styles to pull the entire look together. Let's get started!

Jennifer Lawrence looks flawless with never ending beach waves, a look so perfect for homecoming. It keeps your hairdo simple, while still being so on trend.

A huge trend this year are finger waves. It's a classic, yet, elegant take on traditional curls, and Katy Perry wears the look so well in the above picture. It's a very elegant look to choose!

Half up half down is the perfect mixture of party and professional! You can rock this style with straight or curly hair! Dianna Agron's look above is so easy to do by yourself, or take the picture to your hairstylist for them to do it for you!

Be bold by adding some accessories to your hair to spice things up a bit! This is a perfect hair choice if you're wearing a more subdued dress.

What hairstyles are you gushing over for your upcoming homecoming dance?

The 2013 Video Music Awards are here, and the red carpet was full of so much funky fashion on Sunday, August 25th! VMA fashion is definitely known for its outrageous moments, and this year was no different. From Brittney Spears' bear-all lace look in 2001 to Lady Gaga's meat ensemble in 2010, the outfits that have graced the VMA red carpet have always been questionable in taste, but very legendary when it comes to impact!

To us Roo Girls, it's all about finding that balance between taste and impact, and there were a few lady celebs who towed that line so well this year. Celebrities like Katy Perry and Ciara made a bold fashion statement, while stile rocking an elegant look. Check out what they wore below and how you can get their look for Homecoming or Prom.

Katy Perry rocked animal print in such a unique and stylish way at the 2013 VMAs. The knee-length skirt and long sleeves added class, while the form-fitting style and high slit showed off her curves so well. We also loved the little pieces of fur on the dress - it gave it just the right amount of VMAs flare!

Want Katy Perry's animal print look for Homecoming? We love Night Moves style 6650, a strapless animal print cocktail dress. We love this dress because it channels the funkiness of Katy's look with the bead and crystal accents that are all over the dress.

For a longer look that's so perfect for Prom, check out Jovani style 6437. It's a strapless animal print evening gown that features a side cut-out for some extra glam and a high front slit.

Ciara looked stunning in her so revealing, but so elegant ivory lace gown! From head to toe, it accented her features so well and complimented her skin tone perfectly.

For a sheer, lace, and ruffled skirt look like Ciara, we're loving Jovani style 4863. This exquisite hi-lo white evening gown is perfect for a classy prom look.

Want Ciara's look in a short style for Homecoming? Jovani style 171924 is so perfect! This dress has a sheer illusion lace bodice with a feather skirt.

What was your favorite look at the 2013 VMAs? Leave us a comment and let us know below!

We love dresses at Rissy Roo's, so of course we're obsessing over the new indie pop band that has the very namesake of our favorite piece of clothing! The band Dresses is only made up of two people, Timothy and Jared, a couple from Portland.

Their songs are infectious indie-pop tunes that will have you wanting to get up and dance (in dresses, of course). Their first big hit is for song "Sun Shy," a fun, catchy tune that frontlady Timothy Heller is of course wearing a cute dresses in! 

Check out their hit single here:

Want to learn more about the band? Teen Vogue caught up with the Timothy, the leading lady, to talk all about Dresses, how her and her boyfriend met, and what music she's loving right now. Our favorite part of the interview with Teen Vogue was hearing who influences her.

"Just listening to the female singers that I look up to is inspiring when I'm writing music. I try to channel my role models, and I can tell it makes me write better music and definitely influences what it sounds like."

Girl power all the way!
