A Little Sparkle Never Hurt Anybody

So I haven't posted in a while and I found the blogger app so I'm testing it out with the pictures from homecoming I put on instagram. I love this dress because it's not the standard black body con dress that you can find everywhere. I like the underskirt that makes it flouncy (that's a word right?) and its fun to spin around in and just me. It has white tulle over the skirt with little black beading and some sparkles up the corset with a black satin tie to create that ever so important waistline. I got a lot of compliments on it and I want to wear it to the next dance! Who cares if it's a repeat? You can't fix what isn't broken right?
I want you to tell me what you're wearing or wore to homecoming, what's your favorite homecoming dress what's your dream dress? Talk to me! Good luck in your fashion adventures!

All That Glitters Is Not Always Gold

So I was searching very hard for this nail polish and I finally found it! It is the Rainbow in the S-Kylie glitter nail polish from the new Kardashian Kolor by Nicole by OPI. I love it because you can put virtually any color polish as a base coat (including clear) and it looks awesome! I used the Essie Pink Diamond as my base. Now in these pictures it is chipping a bit on the top so I'm going to give some advice now that I've done it. So this glitter nail polish stays on until you want it off! Which has two sides to it, yes it stays on long, but it can be difficult when you want to remove it. I used cotton swabs and remover and the cotton would just stick in the glitter on my nail. I got it off eventually, but if anybody finds a better way tell me! Also I stupidly only put on one coat of the pink so by about 4 days later, it was only pink where there was glitter on top of it. Other than that it was great and a lot of people commented on it! 

Oh and one bit of thrifty advice. If you have an Ocean State Job Lot near you, don't buy Essie nail polish in the normal stores you would get it. I find tons of colors at Ocean State for about 50-60% less than other stores. But sometimes they just have a bunch of a few colors, so I would check ocean state first, then if they don't have your color spring for it!

This would also be an awesome idea for prom! My friend did it and it looked amazing!

Prom 2012 Part 1

I've always loved looking at all the beautiful prom dresses this time of year. Which is what I did on Facebook almost all day yesterday as people posted new albums! Since I wasn't asked to prom this year, I've decided to go ahead and post about the most popular styles this year, my thoughts on them, my personal favorites, and a cheap and more expensive version of each perhaps! Along with these, I will post the most affordable sites I've found this season! And to not make this a really long post I'm going to combine a couple of the styles I've seen together within one dress.

OMBRE, ONE SHOULDER, SIDE SLIT
Allure dress "Night Moves" $298

Ombre Glitter Side Slit by DebShops $145

I really like both of these dresses in these colors but they both come in different colors for different tastes. I believe the top one is absolutely stunning with the draping on the sides and the embellishment, but for over 150 DOLLARS LESS you can get a very similar dress which I think is also very beautiful. I'm not a big fan of the side slit but because has the unexpected dark purple underneath the slit it looks awesome. The one shoulder strap look I also tend not to like but since the first dress does it with beading and embellishment, it becomes very feminine and I like it alot more than just a fabric one shoulder.

HIGH LOW
Flirt Strapless High Low Dress $498

So I like the high low hem we've seen in spring fashion lately, but for prom dresses I didn;t really see much I was wowed by. Until I saw these, that is.  I love the colors of both of these and Ido like going over the top with my dresses which explains the first choice of frills and ruffles everywhere! But I think I like the Macy's dress better. It says look at me with the hem so I feel like maybe you don't have to be very much more over the top with the design and dress material, color etc. And considering it's about 460 dollars less it would be my choice anyway! This is Pretty Affordable Fashion isnt it?!

SHORT, Two Tone Tulle, Multi Color Embellishment
Sherri Hill Multi  Tulle Short Dress $450

Two Tone Beaded Satin Tulip Dress $56

I actually like A lot of these short prom dresses because they are very feminine, poofy, frilly, and colorful (right up my alley)! Unfortunately, these dresses look like prom dresses, which means I could not wear them anywhere else, otherwise I would buy them for another occasion because I must wear a full length gown to my next prom no ifs ands or buts! I like the two tone tulle look because its just as cool looking as it is to say! And i love the rainbow of beading on the black material of the first dress its so cool and edgy looking! Also if you are on a budget, the short dresses are perfect becaus ethey cost considerably less just because of the less material. So you can make a statement and save money! Perfect Combo!
