Prom

The definition of prom is promenade: a formal ball held for a school class toward the end of the academic year. However, our society's definition is so much different. The definition for us is, time of year where you get to where an amazing dress, do your hair and makeup, get a date, and hopefully become prom queen/king! Which definition do you like better? I believe you chose letter B. To help you get the amazing dress, I'm going to show you options for a lot of different types of girls styles.


Feminine: Lanvin's beautiful Ostrich feather-trimmed georgette gown($6,720)is sure to make your girly personality shine in this gorgeous floor length gown.

Sporty: This loose jersey maxi dress ($795)by Philosophy di Alberta Perretti is perfect for the sporty girl who wants to be able to move around freely at prom, yet still look amazing.

  10. Thx for your comment !

    The nail polish looks a lot pinker in the pic than its actual color... do you use base & topcoat bc it might help to stop the chipping and also only apply a couple of coats.

  14. Thank you for checking out my blog and for saying hi. I really appreciate it :)
    I'm more into the tube top satin dresses that cut above the knee and are a bit poofy at the bottom for prom dresses.
    I like the pattern on the Milly dress - very summery. I wouldn't wear the dress at that length on myself since I can't pull off such a long dress, but it would be nice to wear on a casual spring/summer day :)

  23. I think Modern may be my favorite look - it makes me think of Nicole Richie's style. Absolutely stunning!! :)

  24. Prom.. Wow. That was so long ago. I wish I could go back in top and go to prom again. {*HAHA} Dressing up and getting your hair and make up done was definitely a lot of fun. Shopping for the dress was crazy!
    There are definitely a ton of options for girls to choose from. Awesome post.

    Btw, thanks for stopping by my blog. =]

  25. That Zac Posen dress is something special. The colour is so vibrant, but the cut of the dress so sophisticated and sexy.

  26. I love the Tibi dress :)
    Personally, I was gonna go with something like Marchesa light grey Embellished silk-chiffon gown, but it's difficult to find a decent knock-off. And I really like most of the shorter Dakota Faning's red carpet looks :D

  27. The punk one is the hottest of the bunch! I probably wouldn't have worn that to my prom though back then haha

  28. I'm glad you like my blog :)

    I love your selection, i think my favourite dress is the 'punk' one ^^

  29. awwwwwwwww i've never been to a prom :( we don't have such things in Italy (and now that i live in Belgium, i'm not much surprised we don't have proms here neither)

    love the flirty dress, absolutely adorable *.*

  30. My favourite's the Emilio Pucci 'punk' dress...although my prom dress was gold and Grecian like!
