Jovani

Miss Latina Global 2013 was recently held in August, and it was a night to remember! There was so many gorgeous looks all throughout the pageant, that it had us getting so excited that Homecoming Season is finally here, and Prom is just around the corner. This pageant got us especially in the Homecoming and Prom mood, though, because two of our favorite dress designers were at the forefront of the pageant: Shail K. and Jovani!

All of the delegates wore Shail K. KL3224 as the opening dress to the pageant. It was the perfect dress for an opening number because everyone looked so sparkly and glamorous! 

Miss Latina Global 2013 Delegates wearing Shail K. KL3224

Shail K. style KL3224 is a unique combination of sweet, shiny, and sexy. This short cocktail dress seamlessly combines a beautifully hand beaded lusciousness with an off-shoulder neckline and a fun, flowing skirt, giving this party dress a timeless look. If you don't have a pageant to wear it to like the Miss Latina Global delegates, get it for Homecoming, and wear it again for a Holiday Party!

Newly crowned Miss Latina Global, Grecia Garcia, & Miss Teen Latina Global, Karla Mercado (wearing Jovani 1531), along side runner up, Lexi Lopez (wearing Shail K. KK3133L).

That's not the only time you see Shail K. at the pageant, though! Lexi Lopez wore Shail K. KK3133L as she was crowned Miss Latina Global 2013 Runner Up. This hand beaded gown fits like a glove and accentuate your curves perfectly. It's a great gown not only for a pageant, but for Prom, too!

Miss Teen Latina Global 2013, Karla Mercado, looked so elegant being crowned in Jovani 1531. It's a lace floor length mermaid gown that features piping and sheer panels at the top bodice and a tiered tulle skirt. Karla showed so well that this dress is the perfect combination of elegance and sexiness!

Congrats to this year's winners! All of the girls who competed were so talented and beautiful - it definitely must have been difficult for the judges to pick the winners!

Black and White is a classic combination that never goes out of style, no matter the year or season. It's a style that adds elegance to any look. Lately, it's been a trend that's been getting a lot more attention, so we wanted to give it a special spotlight and make it our Trend of the Week.

You better believe that celebrities have been all over this trend lately. It’s a great color trend to play around because you can so easily go from day to night in a black and white outfit, just by changing your accessories and makeup. Not only that, but it's appropriate for any occasion and any age group, so it's of course a great choice for Homecoming or Prom!

Below are our favorite black and white looks for Homecoming, Prom, and any other formal event that you may have soon!

After writing about the most popular dresses from the 2013 Prom season among our customers last week, we decided to ask a few of the Rissy Roo's employees what their favorite dresses of the season were! There was so many gorgeous dresses this season that it was a tough choice to make, but our Roo Staff voted it down to three favorites. Take a look below!

Renee, one of our customer service representatives, chose Sherri Hill 21016 in Red. Renee is a huge fan of lace and loved the way it was used in this beautiful hi-lo strapless Sherri Hill dress. Hi-lo, lace, and nude were popular trends this year, so combining all three into one look definitely makes for a winning dress! Continue reading →

Dresses with sheer bodices and lace detailing have been really popular for Prom 2013, and it was certainly a style to watch at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, too! The BBMAs were held on Sunday May 19th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and our favorite looks on the blue carpet (yes, blue...not red!) were worn by Ariana Grande and Jennifer Morrison. They both looked so stunning in black sheer and lace pieces that we decided to dedicate our Billboard Music Awards post to them! Check out what they wore below and how you can get their looks for your next formal event.

With prom season in full effect, the prom committees are getting decor ready for their creative themes. Each year, High Schools are coming up with unique ideas for their prom. From New York to Paris...from Candy Land to Alice and Wonderland...prom themes are now out of this world! With the help of Seventeen Magazine, we listed below this year's most popular themes. They're sure to get everyone in fiesta mode!

Casino

The casino theme is ideal for students who want something different from just dancing. Adding table games and slot machines gives everyone something to do! To complete the theme, you can recreate Vegas by adding lots of flashing lights. Channel your inner Vegas show girl by wearing lots of sparkle, like the sequin dress below. Of course, since Rissy Roo's is 20 minutes outside of Atlantic City, NJ, we're partial to making it an Atlantic City casino theme :-). Continue reading →

The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, and Joel Edgerton, finally hit theatres, and it's gotten us obsessing over everything 1920s!

But, there's of course one thing that has us girls at Rissy Roo's stuck in Gatsby fever: the clothes!

To celebrate, we picked out our favorite roaring '20s inspired looks from our store. These dresses are perfect for nabbing Daisy Buchanan's style in a fresh, modern way. Check them out below: Continue reading →
