Homecoming 2016

With Halloween right around the corner, it's time to find that perfect outfit and dress up as your favorite character, whether that be a classic Halloween witch or vampire, or a Disney character. Since we showed you our favorite LBDs for a Halloween look last week, this week we're showing you some more styles... with a little more color! From Jessica Rabbit, to Jasmine, check out dresses inspired by your favorite characters below. Use the cues to take simple inspiration for homecoming or prom, or go all-out with head-to-toe inspiration for a Halloween outfit.

Finding a dress for your fall Homecoming dance can be a difficult one. Every school's Homecoming dance is different - some are formal, some are semi-formal, and some are casual. And, even when your school's Homecoming dance is more formal, sometimes you just want to be casual!

There's definitely a lot of room with Homecoming dances to dress however your heart desires, and that's why we loved one of Seventeen's most recent Instagram posts. They recently posted a video of a chic, yet casual head-to-toe Homecoming look that will easily take you from your Homecoming dance to any other event you might attend. Check it out below.

The key to this classic look is the white lace dress. For a similar fit and flare look to the dress in Seventeen's Instagram video, we love Alyce paris 3686. This white lace dress is a perfect in-between of formal and casual, letting you easily dress up or down depending on your individual Homecoming dance.  Continue reading →

The Homecoming 2016 Season is here, and some of our Roo Girls have already attended their dances, and shared their pictures with us. The latest homecoming photos were shared by Kiersten Kiddy's mom, Toni-Wes Kiddy. While most people think of high school or college when it comes to attending homecoming, Kiersten was actually attending her middle school homecoming. So, get ready for a cuteness overload with her pictures.

Kiersten was all set to attend her middle school homecoming back in August. All she needed was a dress. Kiersten's mom, Toni, called up Rissy Roo's, loving a Lexi by Mon Cheri dress that Kiersten needed in a Size 12. While we didn't have the dress in a Size 12, we did have it in a Size 16, and assured Toni that it can be altered to fit Kiersten. Kiersten and Toni purchased the dress, had it altered, and the rest is history. Needless to say, Kiersten looked beautiful in it for her football homecoming! Check out the photos Kiersten's mom sent below, as well as her homecoming testimonial.

Before it was time for Kiersten to attend her junior high homecoming, Toni initially sent us pictures of Kiersten trying on the dress. Toni said:

"We talked on the phone on August 31st & whoever I talked to was so helpful & nice (I was very worried about such a big alteration). It was a Sz 16 & has been altered down to about a Sz 12. We absolutely love it. But can't wait to see my daughter in it with her hair & makeup. Thank you again..."

After Kiersten attended her football homecoming, Toni followed-up with pictures of Kiersten on the homecoming field all dressed up. Toni said:

"Here are much better pics of Kiersten in her beautiful dress! Remember it was a Sz 16 taken in to about a Sz 10/12... This was for Selmer Middle School Football Homecoming. And thank you so much!!"

How cute does Kiersten look with her homecoming date? We're just a little obsessed! With Kiersten's obvious fashion sense, we can't believe she's only in middle school. We can't wait to see what she'll be rocking for homecoming and prom in the many years to come in high school!

Ninety's fashion has made a huge comeback this year, seeing celebs like Kendall and Kylie Jenner and Gigi Hadid rocking those ever famous 90s style chokers and goth inspired looks. We certainly can't complain, especially since the 1990s seem to be making a comeback in a huge way well beyond fashion. Just yesterday, sequels to 1990s popular movies The Blair Witch Project and Trainspotting were announced, and one of our all-time favorite actresses who we've been waiting patiently to take over the spotlight once again has done just that: Winona Ryder! The popular 1990s actress who was famous for Tim Burton movies like Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice, as well as Girl, Interrupted, is finally back in the limelight in a big way in Netflix's newest sci-fi series Stranger Things.

With the comeback of both Winona and 90s fashion, we wanted to give a fashion flashback to some of the formal outfits that made Winona that 1990s fashion icon she's become known for. After all, as Vice noted in their article "The Timeless Appeal of Winona Ryder, Hollywood's Eternal Outsider," Winona was "the cult face of the 90s." See four of our favorite outfits below, and of course how you can take a cue from them for a perfect fall Homecoming look.

Winona wore that classic goth look in a totally elegant way, wearing a black v-neck dress, a worn-in leather jacket, black hair, and dark red lips. Of course, you can never go wrong with Johnny Depp on your shoulder! In this picture, Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp were at the NATO/ShowWest Convention in Las Vegas, NV in February of 1990.  Continue reading →

Summer may not be officially here yet (the official first day of Summer isn't until June 20th), but with prom season over, our eyes are on homecoming season. And, luckily, our favorite dress designers are helping our obsession along because some of them are already releasing their brand new fall 2016 dresses!

The first comes from dress designer Faviana, who recently released their beautiful brand new 2016 Faviana Homecoming dresses, and they're all on our site! Other than for homecoming, these dresses are perfect for graduation, if you'll be attending a guest as a wedding over the summer or fall, and any other special occasion you might think of.  Continue reading →
