Paris Hilton's newest single "Come Alive" finally came out on July 15, 2014, and we're loving it! The song is so much fun, and the video is so whimsical, with Paris frolicking in an open field, hanging out on a cloud, swinging on a swing full of beautiful flowers...and there's even a unicorn and a rainbow! Check out the video here:

We love the chorus and overall message:

"You make me smile, you make me dream, you make me feel alive. You make me dance, you make me feel, you make me come to life, you make me come alive, you make me feel alive."

Who wouldn't want to be with someone who made you feel that way?? And of course, Paris looks as gorgeous as ever with her diamond encrusted nails and flower filled hair. There's one other reason we're digging Paris' look, though: did you catch her wearing one of our favorite dress designers in the video? She rocked Mac Duggal style 3908A in the part of the video where she's with the unicorn!

Mac Duggal 3908A is a fully sequined, high fashion gown with an open back that looked absolutely fabulous on Paris! The sequins on this gown had Paris sparkling perfectly within her video, and really helped her "come alive!" The whole scene with her in the sparkly Mac Duggal gown, with the unicorn and rainbow in the background looked like something out of a dream!

While the color that Paris wore in the video is no longer available, Mac Duggal 3908A is also available in a show-stopping Peacock color, which you can see above. It's definitely the perfect way to feel like a celebrity at Prom or your next formal event!

Prom 2014 may be over, but we still have so many more prom testimonials to share with you from our Roo Girls! The latest is from sisters Kiara and Kiana Chiles. Their mom recently sent us a prom picture of them together both wearing their Rissy Roo's prom dresses, and they look fabulous!

Alicia, their mom, said:

"Thank you Rissy Roo's for the great service and the beautiful dresses!"

And, here are the two girls, looking so gorgeous:

Both girls are wearing Mori Lee by Madeline Gardner dresses. Kiara (left) is wearing Sticks & Stones by Mori Lee 9199, a short strapless ombre tulle cocktail dress with beading and a corset back. Kiana (right) is wearing Sticks & Stones by Mori Lee 9253, a strapless party dress with beautiful ombre beading on the bodice, corset back, and a short tulle shirt.

Both of these dresses are such fun looks, and Kiara and Kiana rocked them so well! While these girls wore their short Mori Lee dresses to Prom, these two looks are versatile enough to also rock at Homecoming, or even for a Sweet 16 birthday party.

Thank you, Alicia, for sending us the picture! We're glad that Kiara and Kiana had such a wonderful time at their Prom!

Prom Season may be over, but we have so many more prom dress testimonials to share with you to keep the dream (and now reality) alive! This week, we heard from Alex Fritz and his mom, Dina, about the prom dress that was purchased from Rissy Roo's or Alex's girlfriend, Kassy Delossantos. Both Alex and Dina had such nice words to share with us about Kassy's dress and their wonderful prom night! Check out what they had to say below:

"Kassy Delossantos' dress was beautiful. She looked stunning. Perfect dress for an amazing young lady."

-Dina Fritz

"Thank you for the perfect dress for my amazing girlfriend :-) <3"

-Alex Fritz

Kassy sure did look stunning in her Rissy Roo's prom dress! And, we loved Alex's white suit and matching green tie - what a stylish couple! To get Kassy's look, go for Sherri Hill style 9713. This fun and flirty high low dress is perfect for dancing the night away! The dress features a high lace neckline, beaded straps and waistline, lace bodice, and a soft flowy chiffon skirt. We love the stunning open back on this dress! Other than green, it also comes in coral and ivory.

Kassy's silver headband was a great way to add some sparkle to her look, and matched the dress' sparkly waistband perfectly. Such a stand-out accessory!

If you're a Roo Girl, make sure to send us your pictures from Prom 2014 this year! We love seeing all of our girls dressed up in the prom dresses that they picked!

Last year, Roo Girl Tahrea Sherman wrote us such a nice message saying that she loved her prom dress. Well, we were so happy to hear from her again this year, after attending Prom 2014 in her Rissy Roo's dress! If you read her testimonial last year, you'd know that she loves the color pink just as much as we do at Rissy Roo's. A year later, she's still all about being Pretty in Pink, because she rocked the color again for this year's prom! She chose the Fabulouss by Mac Duggal style 76629F sequin halter gown in Neon Pink for her prom dress.

Here's the sweet note that Tahrea shared along with her picture:

Thank you Rissy Roo's for a beautiful dress two years in a row!

The dazzling pink prom dress that Tahrea chose is made to feel like a queen in, and we can tell that she did! The dress has a halter neckline and is full of beautiful stone detail that looked so perfect on Tahrea.

Thank you, Tahrea, for sending us your prom pictures again! We're so glad you had yet another perfect prom year! Pretty in Pink two years in a row!

Stay tuned for more prom dress testimonials from our Roo Girls!

We have such an exciting prom dress story to share with you from one of our customers! Roo Girl Tori Springer had her senior prom this year, and on her search for her perfect prom dress while on a serious budget, she came to Rissy Roo's for help. Here's her story that her mom and dad, Mary and Vince, sent to us about them having some prom fun with her daughter:

Dear Shelly,

My daughter Tori's senior prom was May 17th and with her father's recent operation and all that goes with that, we were on a serious dress budget. We looked all over (but knowing you had the best dresses) we went in to check your sale items and then she tried on the Papparazzi dress and fell in love with it. Sadly, we left without it and although she was understanding, I knew from that moment on, no other dress could compare for her. Thinking about this being her last prom and her upcoming scoliosis surgery, it was only right that we do something to make her night extra special. I just want to thank you so much when you came over to us that day, and offered the 10% discount, that really made a difference. Below is a link to how we presented it to her (had to trick her a little :) and some photos of her in it. We also have a 13 year old daughter, and I know there's only one dress shop we'll be going to in the future,

Sincerely, Mary & Vince Springer

Mary and Vince's "trick" for presenting the prom dress to Tori was so cute - it brought us to tears! Watch it here:

And, check out Tori looking gorgeous in her prom dress below! She chose Mori Lee style 95051 for her dress, an elaborately beaded ball gown with a corset back and a full tulle skirt. It's one of our sale dresses - it used to be $478, but is now only $334.60!

Tori looking like a princess in Mori Lee 95051!

We LOVE the gorgeous tulle on this ball gown!

Tori and her prom date!

Thank you Springer Family for sending us pictures of Tori in her prom dress! Tori, we hope you enjoyed your prom dress surprise and hope there was much more prom fun to come this year for you!

We've had so many of our Roo Girls send in picture of them in their Rissy Roo's dress at prom...and we've been so amazed at the pictures each and every time! One of the most recent pictures we received was so super...because it involved superhero Captain America! Check out Katlyn Mariah Rice below with her date, John Thomas Rayborn, both matching perfectly in blue...and John showing off his Captain America alter ego underneath his shirt!

 That's not the only reason Katlyn's and John's outfits are superhero style, though. When Katlyn's mom, Heather, shared the pictures with us, she told us that the two high schoolers attended two proms in one night! Here's what Heather said:

"My daughter's Senior Prom! The dress was PERFECT!! This dress was perfect for not one but two proms on the same night!!! Thanks Rissy Roo's for a wonderful experience!"

- Heather Sullivan Rice

We can't believe that Katyln and John attended two proms in one night - they must have had such an amazing time together! Katlyn looked so stunning wearing Blush Prom style 9771. Dramatic shiny circular stones in a geometric pattern accentuate the one-shoulder and highlight the waist on this stunning prom dress. While you can't see it in Katlyn's pictures, the backstraps form a beautiful open back. The royal blue color of the dress makes for the perfect outfit for Captain America's girlfriend!

Katlyn and John's prom day was a superhero prom all around...from the Captain America shirt, to attending two proms in one night! We also thought the white roses were the perfect Captain America and girlfriend accessory. We love the trend of guys wearing superhero tee shirts under their prom suits. It's such a creative way to show off your personality...and have so much fun with prom pictures, of course! What do you think of it? Leave us a comment below and let us know!

Frozen, the latest movie from Disney Animation Studios has everyone of all ages laughing and singing! Ever since the DVD release on March 18th, people everywhere are catching the Frozen buzz. Not only did this movie win the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film, but the song "Let it go," performed by the voice of Elsa by Idina Menzel is a spectacular hit and is even now a cover song performed by Demi Lovato!

As a quick synopsis for the movie, the optimist Anna (voice of Kristen Bell), has set out on a crazy adventure with mountain man Kristoff and his reindeer Sven to find her sister Elsa, who has been blessed with an amazing yet terrifying power. Elsa has the uncontrollable ability to freeze everything and has trapped the kingdom of Arendelle into an eternal winter. Attempting to save the kingdom, Anna sets off the find her sister who has locked herself far away to try to contain her power. Because the character of Elsa is so unique, we thought it would be a great idea to dress like the beautiful princess for prom! To get Elsa's princess look we have come up with the following tips - read on!

Get  The Perfect Icy Blue Dress

Elsa wore a stunning light blue long sleeved dress in the movie. We thought the Karishma style 3701 in light blue would be perfect for this look! It's a long-sleeved gown with jeweled neckline and a cutout back. A look made for a princess!

Finish Off Elsa's Frozen Look

Don't forget to complete the look with Elsa's fabulous make-up and hairstyle! We love her textured french braid and radiant orchid eye shadow! Watch the Disney exclusive Elsa hair tutorial by A CuteGirlsHairstyles below for DIY instructions on mastering Elsa's look.

Kylie Jenner has been all over Seventeen Magazine lately to show off all of the newest Prom 2014 styles, and we're loving it! One of the latest looks that she was featured wearing in the magazine is one of our favorite dresses for this prom season, so we had to make sure to share it with you. Check Kylie out wearing Night Moves style 7041 below!

Night Moves 7041 adds a sexy twist to the strapless sweetheart silhouette with a plunging neckline and countless silver micro beads. It's a classic prom dress look with an updated, sexy twist. And, the color choices this dress comes in couldn't be any better! Kylie is wearing the royal color above, but it also comes in colors aqua and black. We especially love the royal blue color on Kylie - it stands out against her long dark brown hair so well! Continue reading →
