Every girl wants to feel like a princess on prom night, from the gown, to the date, to the transportation to the venue, to dancing the whole night away. Of course, with the popularity of promposals over the last few years, the days of feeling like a princess start as early as that special prom proposal. Whether funny, cute, or totally romantic, prom proposals are a special moment and bring a whole new level to the meaning of being a prom princess.
One of the latest promposals that we've stumbled upon takes a cue from the romantic side and is all-over heart melting. Creating a disney themed promposal in itself is always so fitting to make a gal feel like a princess, but this teen really took the disney theme to heart. He created a Beauty and the Beast promposal, and hit all of the major points. Check it out below!
"I've been looking for a Princess to take to the Ball"
The teen made his date, Allysen, feel like a disney princess by capturing that classic rose from Beauty and the Beast, complete with a "Will you be my guest?" note, a ring shaped like a princess crown, and a poster that says, "I've been looking for a princess to take to the ball." I mean, honestly... what more could be missing?! Probably only a complete prince outfit... Continue reading →
Our Roo Girls are starting to attend their Prom 2016 dances, and while we're sad that Prom Season is almost over, we're loving seeing all of our Roo Girls in their prom dresses! Our latest in prom pics comes from Roo Girl Kate Lannon. Her mom, Terri, sent us the pictures recently, with a very special note. Check out what she said and the photos below!
"We loved the dress! We will be back again for homecoming and senior prom for sure! She looked amazing. Thanks, Rissy Roo's!"
-Teri Marcello Lannon, Kate's mom
That's Kate above with her date, Casey Crockett. How cute do they look together?! And Kate's dress couldn't have fit her more perfectly! We loved the couple's choice to go with neutral colors on the skirt of Kate's dress and on Casey's tie, letting the pretty sparkly beads on the top of Kate's dress and beautiful purple flowers stand out.

So, you have your prom dress, shoes, and accessories. All that's left is to decide on your hair and makeup. And, those decisions can be just as big as the dress decision! You'll want to choose a hair style that compliments your dress, and the makeup is all about what you're comfortable with. You can go to a makeup artist and get it done professionally, or do it all yourself. Since the professionals have you covered, today's post is all about creating that perfect prom makeup look yourself!
Youtuber Melissa Allen recently posted a drug store prom makeup tutorial, and we're loving her makeup picks. She called it a drugstore haul because all of the makeup that chose chose can be found at your local drug store, and she tried to keep all of her choices under $10. So, if you're looking for a last minute makeup look, or need a makeup look on a budget, Melissa's video is a great one to take pointers from. Check it out below!
She listed all of the products that she used in her video in the information section of her youtube video, but here it is listed out to make it a little easier: Continue reading →
A couple of days ago, we showed you the totally on-trend pantsuits that some of the celebs wore on the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Awards red carpet. As we mentioned in that post, another major music awards ceremony was held on the same day as the iHeartRadio Music Awards: the Academy of Country Music Awards! Of course, the celebs on the ACM Awards red carpet were just as glammed up. While we loved all of the look, there always seems to be one celeb that stands out on the ACM Awards red carpet. Yup, you guessed it: Carrie Underwood.
Carrie knows how to bring Hollywood glam to any event, and she certainly did so yet again at the 2016 Academy of Country Music Awards. She wore a stunning sparkly nude gown that was the perfect compliment to her pretty blonde hair. She made sure to let her beautiful dress do the talking by keeping accessories to a minimum.

As the old saying goes, hindsight is 20/20. No matter what the situation or event, it always seems like there's certain things you wish you knew before hand that may have resulted in you making different decisions. Well, prom is no exception to this rule. It's a big day with lots of planning, and one where you tend to have high expectations. While you always hope that prom day will go exactly how you envisioned it for months, that's usually now how the day actually goes down.
That's why we were happy to see that 20-year-old Olena of YouTube fame, known by her YouTube name IamJustaMakeupLover, listed out the 10 things that she wished she knew before attending her prom. She explained that she had planned her prom day out schedule by schedule, hour by hour, but things tended to veer off course a little. Watch the video below to see what she wished she knew before attending prom.
Below a quick run-down of everything to know before going to prom, from Olena's video. Olena said she gave 10 tips, but we actually heard 11 great prom day tips from her!
Prom Day Tips from YouTuber IamJustaMakeupLover:
Things will go wrong - go with the flow.
Don't stress out over your date; if you're not in a serious relationship or don't have a BFF you're going with as a date, your date really only comes into play when it comes to the pictures. You'll be dancing the night away with your friends the rest of the time!
It's okay to not have a group. You'll see your friends at prom, and don't worry about the pictures so much.
Uncomfortable shoes are optional! You'll most likely be wearing a long dress where you won't even see your shoes, so choose ones that are comfortable for 5 hours of being on your feet and adjust your dress to those shoes.
Make sure you do your hair in a way that's comfortable.
Do a makeup test run. Even if you go to MAC or Sephora, you could end up with a look you're not comfortable with. When you do the test run, take pictures with your eyes closed, eyes opened, and to the side so that the look can be easily re-created by anyone.
False eyelashes are a must! They look great in pictures. You're supposed to look fabulous at prom, after all! Also, remember to use waterproof mascara because there may be lots of crying!
Don't trust your makeup artist on their artistic vision - know what you want and tell them! Olena recommends going with a natural, bridal inspired look, perhaps that's a little more dramatic and smokey.
Have a backup place for your pictures - have an indoor, and outdoor, and another indoor. It may rain on your prom night, or schedules may end up being re-arranged.
Don't feel like you need a stretch limo. A small limo or even a black car is fine (our tip: you could even have fun in a sports car, like a Mustang, if you or a friend own one!). It's just a ride! You may also want the ride to take you from prom to wherever you're going after-prom.
Have fun, it's a celebration! Dance and have fun with your friends because you won't see them for much longer with school ending and going off to whatever comes next for you after high school.
One last tip from us: while it's of course important to simply go with the flow come prom day (just like Olena mentions), start thinking of your prom day as early as possible to try to prevent as many unwanted surprises as you can. Olena's tips will certainly help with this! Good luck on your special day!!
The process of finding that perfect prom dress, shoes, accessories, and everything else that goes into a prom night to remember is one that takes time and lots of research. It's important to start the process as early as possible in order to ensure you can take your time and not settle for anything you don't want.
Part of the process to be prom ready that isn't always discussed with enough time to make an impact is working out! Toning up your body just the slightest bit can make all of the difference in the world for not only how you look, but how you feel in your dress. Knowing you put the time and effort in to look your best, from choosing a dress that fits your body perfectly, to your hair and make-up, to putting the time in to follow a routine workout, will have you feeling as confident as ever on the dance floor.
That's why we were happy to see that certified fitness instructor of YouTube fame Cassey Ho recently posted a workout specifically for looking perfect in your prom dress to her YouTube channel Blogilates! She calls it her official prom dress workout, and it takes you through a handful of workouts that you can do in your own home - no gym needed, and completely equipment free. All you need is your own body and the will and focus to stay on-point from now through your prom date (and hopefully keeping at it well after prom!). Continue reading →
