Turning 16 is special enough, but turning 16 in the summer can be even sweeter! For those having a festive party to honor this pastime, we put together some Summer Sweet 16 party ideas. Let's face it, many spectacular parties can be held year round, but certain ideas are much better fit for the Summer months due to nicer weather, more time to plan, and not so many conflicts in schedules. Of course, all Summer Sweet 16 party ideas are fabulous, but we figured a little creativity can go a long way, to make your party all the more extraordinary!

Hawaiian Luau or Tropical Theme

Although this party theme can be done any month of the year, we feel the idea tends to be much more "authentic" if it is done outdoors. Depending on the size of your party, we like Continue reading →

Days of warmer weather are approaching and the end of the school year is upon us. Exams, proms, and formals will all be over soon, but another special occasion deserves a celebration! It is graduation time, when we cherish all the fun memories we have had and look to the future with optimism and excitement! Of course a past time like this deserves a very special dress to unveil after you throw your cap into the sky, take off your graduation gown, and yell "I DID IT!" Read on for our favorite graduation dress ideas! Continue reading →

We have a very special picture to share with you today from one of our Roo Girls, Kimberly Sarno! Kimberly's 30th birthday was this year, and she decided to celebrate it in style by going to Disney World with her friends! Of course, going to Disney World also means you have to look the part of a princess, and we were so honored that Kimberly helped us find her perfect birthday party princess dress!

She wrote:

"Hi Rissy Roo's! I placed my order for my dress and I can't wait to get it. I have been dying to have this dress for about a year now and I'm super excited I got to buy it. I'm a long time La Femme buyer and every one of their dresses I wear, I feel amazing! I can't wait to wear it in Disney World for my big party! I'm going to certainly fit right in as a princess!! Thank you Rissy Roo's for making this princess' dream come true!! I'll definitely post plenty of pics! I have been planning my party in Disney World for 2 years now and that I've found my perfect dress, I feel it's all coming together better than I expected  Dinner with friends and the Princesses is absolutely what I've always wanted!"

We were so excited, because she recently sent us a picture in her dress in none other than Disney World in front of Cinderella's Castle! Check out Princess Kimberly in the land of princesses and princes:

When she shared the photo with us, she wrote, "Thank you Rissy Roo's! Because of you I looked amazing at my Birthday celebration in Walt Disney World!"

You looked so gorgeous Kimberly! We're so happy that we got to help you say "yes" to your Birthday dress and helped make your birthday wish come true!

The 2014 ACM Awards have come and gone, and they were so much fun to watch! It was held this past Sunday, April 6th, in Las Vegas. This year, the Academy of Country Music celebrated their 50th year, and it was done in such style.

Of course, as usual Miranda Lambert was the belle of the country ball, but she does a good job showing her humbleness no matter what. The country queen took home three trophies at the ACM Awards this year, saying "I cannot believe this; I really didn't expect it." Congrats, Miranda!

Her trophies weren't the only bling she was rocking at the awards ceremony, though. She looked so glam in her nude sparkly dress rocking the ACM Red Carpet. The tight v-neck spaghetti strapped dress fit her like a glove, and we are in love with the sparkly sequins on it!

Nude is a popular trend right now, making Miranda's nude gown look is perfect for bringing to prom. To steal her look, check out Terani style P3131, an illusion v-neck spaghetti strap gown with sheer mesh skirt and crystal and beaded embellishments at the bust and midsection.

That wasn't the only look that Miranda wore to this year's American Country Music Awards that's perfect of rocking at prom, though! Miranda was all about changing up her dresses at the event this year, and we were loving every look she wore. The other dress she rocked that has prom written all over it was the coral strapless lace number she wore while showing off all of her trophies in the press room after the ceremony ended.

To get her so girly coral lace look, we're all about La Femme style 19160, a fit and flare all over short lace dress. This was also a dress we mentioned last week in our blog post about how to get Lea Michele's 2014 Kids Choice Awards look, so this is definitely a perfect dress to be rocking celebrity style at prom! Other than the Hot Coral color you see below, this dress also comes in Navy, Nude, Powder Blue, and White - so many options!

Each year, fashion gets more and more unpredictable. With so many great trends to follow this Fall, we had to narrow them down to just three.

Say YES to White after Labor Day!

Lots of rule-breaking trends this season, including the always infamous no white after Labor Day rule. These rebellious celebs are going against the rules of fashion by keeping white throughout the fall and winter. It's all about how you accessorize and the type of fabric.

This is one trend you can use for your next formal event; it's definitely perfect for the Holidays. If anyone comments that you're not supposed to be wearing white, they're just not up on the latest fashion trends!

Sherri Hill style 2948 White Cocktail Dress has the right fabric and the intricate beading to still give it that fall or winter look. This stunning dress would be great for homecoming..a cocktail party..or even an upcoming holiday party. Continue reading →

It's Fall, The Vampire Diaries Season Premiere was last night, and The Originals' had their show premiere earlier this week! We are most definitely back into the Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder, and Paul Wesley spirit!

One thing that we're always loving is Nina's style. Not only does she wear some killer styles on The Vampire Diaries, but she never disappoints off-screen, either. Seventeen Magazine posted a picture of Nina all ready for the Fall months, wearing a leather jacket and purple ombre jeans that we're totally crushing over. She looked so chic, and we just can't get over the ombre look!

We love the ombre trend! It's a look you can pull off year-round, and wear from your day-to-day style to your next formal event. Want to bring Nina's style to Homecoming or Prom? Check out our favorite purple ombre looks below, and click here to shop all ombre dresses.

For a cute short purple ombre look for Homecoming, we love Dave & Johnny style 8725. The dress has spaghetti straps and an exaggerated sweetheart neckline. The jewels and elegant beadwork all throughout the bodice gives the dress such an opulent look.

For a deep to light purple bold look like Nina's jeans, it's all about La Femme style 17004! It's a gorgeous ombre chiffon gown with criss-cross designs across the sweetheart neckline. This simple and elegant dress lets the ombre speak for itself, the same way that Nina let her pants speak for themselves by pairing them with a plain black shirt and jacket.

For a fun and sparkly look, we're obsessed with Jovani style 6432. It's a strapless ball gown with a mirrored sequin bodice and ombre skirt. It's a perfect way to really have a stand-out look!

Last week we talked about great summer nail trends to try out, and two of them that we're loving are neon and ombre. Well, this #ManicureMonday we're combining those two trends, because it doesn't get much better than a look with both neon AND ombre in it! We've been loving all of the ways you can rock neon in your outfits and on your nails, but with ombre being such a big hit lately, too, we asked...why separate the trends?? So, here's something we've been completely obsessing over: the neon ombre manicure! And, best yet, if you're looking to pair your new neon ombre nails with your next formal outfit, read on for our favorite match-ups.

Lime green is definitely taking the fashion world by storm! We love how this fashionista paired the lime green with a white undertone - it allows the color to really pop! Love the lime green look and want to bring it to your next formal event? We have a lime green dress here at Continue reading →

One of our local customers, Janine Sooy-Sheridan, recently sent in some amazing pictures of her daughter, Mikaela, all dressed up with her friends for their 8th Grade Dinner Dance. The girls all look so beautiful in their Rissy Roo's dresses, that this is something we had to make sure to share with you!
