Prom Prom Prom!!
So as it's peak season for that special event, I am dedicating this whole post to dresses, hair styles and make up ideas.........
Prom Dresses
Finding the perfect prom dress takes time.....If you're lucky, it may be the first dress you try on....But normally you will try a few different dresses in a few different stores before making the BIG decision. Here are some points to think about when searching.
It's good to think about your whole look when you put a dress on; how you want your hair to look, what kind of make up, style of shoe etc...This will help you make the right decision if you know exactly what you want. It's a great idea to take a pair of heels with you to try with the dress and maybe do your hair similar to show what the whole look will be like.
There are so many different styles of gowns....Strapless gowns always look elegant, especially with hair in an 'up do'. You have to make sure the dress fits perfectly though so you don't spend the whole evening pulling it up....Not attractive!! This season's popular colors are coral, royal blue, blush pink and lilac. Take a look at these...

| This has a beautiful floaty skirt and really suits olive colored skin. Loosely braided hair would go perfectly with this gown |
 |
| Royal blue is a classic color and ideal for an evening gown. It goes great with silver accessories, and the hair in a bun finishes off the look perfectly. |
Blush pink and lilac are gorgeous pastil colors. They give a feminine look and will suit a relaxed hairstyle and nude or silver colored shoes. Both these gowns are by www.jovani.com and are available now in store!
I love this gown. The mint green color is so fresh and the different shades throughout the dress make it so unique! The hair draped to one side goes perfeclty too!
If you're not sure which color to chose, try a few, see which suits you the most....Even though you might have a certain color in your head, you may find another suits you better or you just change your mind.....But remember to make sure your friends don't have the same one :-)
I love the back on this sea green dress
If you're looking for some sparkle, how about this
The red goes perfectly with the silver bodice and is so flattering with the high waistband!
I also love this blue and white print dress by www.terani.com. It's great for a summer look and so unique. It's available to order in store too
Prom Hairstyles
There are so many options to chose from. Think about the style of your dress and what hair style would compliment it the most. For example, softer colors like blush pink would look great with a relaxed style like a fish-tail plait, to give that bohemian beach look like Blake Lively below
A more rich color like red or royal blue would suit a more sophisticated, red carpet look like Hayden Panettiere or curled to one side
How about this braid into a loose bun which Jessica Alba is wearing....
Or a side bun like Taylor Swift
It's a great idea to try some styles out with your friends and see which goes best with the dress
Make-up
Depending on the color of your dress, your make up should be a continuation of the whole look. So as previously mentioned, if you're going with a rich color like red or royal blue and a sophisticated hair do, your make up should be glam also; eye liner just on top, rosey cheeks and red lips to give a real red carpet look like Emma Watson below
This look is perfect for fair skin types. Look at Reese Witherspoon sporting a red pout and Scarlett Johansen with a peachy lip color
The Great Gatsby look...
If you're going for a sun kissed look how about this look with brown shades on the eys and shimmering bronzer on the face, very natural
If you have red hair, pale pink lips and rosey cheeks looks great like Emma Stone
Or how about smokey eyes like Jennifer Lopez, it looks great with neutral lip gloss and an 'up do'
Or you can even go minimal with your make up like Megan Fox
Here she has highligted the eyebrows and has false lashes to draw attention to the eyes, everything else is kept to a minimum.
Hope some of these style ideas will help you when looking for Prom inspiration! The most important thing is to feel confident in what you're wearing and enjoy this special occasion, it will only happen once!
Until next time
