Alabama Game Day Dresses! Roll Tide!

I’m sure you have seen our posts about game day, as the season is rapidly approaching, we just can’t get enough of all the school spirit! One school we are always drawn to is the awesome University of Alabama, and it is mainly because one of their unofficial colors (or should we say, patterns?) is the Fall-and-Winter loving HOUNDSTOOTH! Classy AND classic – this is a print we always are looking to incorporate into our wardrobe. Judith March released her new Game Day collection last week, and we were so pumped to see so many cute Alabama game day dresses featuring crimson, white, and houndstooth – and even a cute tee with all their Heisman winners inscribed across the front! Loving the looks for Alabama game day this year, and to that, we say – ROLL TIDE! Check out some of the cute Judith March items we found on polyvore, also available at SidelineSweetie.com – our go-to place for Judith March and all things game day!

Perfect Prom Lipstick! Long Last Application!

Here at EverythingDresses.com, we totally have a girl crush on Lauren Conrad. If you didn’t know, she totally has a website that is all about BEAUTY! We often sneak over there to check out great tutorials and practice them in every day life – and in the office! This one was just too good not to share though. We allllll know all too well how easy lipstick wears off – despite it being marketed to last for 14 hours (or whatever!) Well, this is a tried and true celeb-tested method for a great way to make your lipstick last – and look flawless – for ages! Follow these quick 4 steps below to make sure you have a flawless make up look for prom, pageants, or just a night out with the girls. And don’t worry… this is TOTALLY kissable. :)

STEP ONE: Apply lipstick or a (matte) lip pencil over the entire lip. If your lip liner is a kohl based liner, do not use it for an entire lip fill as it gets chalky and dries out the lips natural moisture.

STEP TWO: Blot your lips with tissue. Fold it in half, put it in between your upper and lower lips, and then press down.

STEP THREE: Load up an eyeshadow blending brush with loose or pressed powder {translucent works best but any light color should work}. Then powder your entire lip area by pressing and swirling the brush across your lips until they are totally matte.

STEP FOUR: Apply another layer of lipstick. Using a lip brush helps with precision! AND DONE!

A Fashion Lovers Secret Weapon: The Bandage Dress!

I have such a passion for bandage dresses, and if you love my blog, you will know it is not the first time I have written about these! As I like to call them, ‘the magic spandex dress’, or Bandage Dresses, as they are more commonly known, are totally amazing, and do WONDERS for your body. Seriously. Read on.

Why do I love these so much, you may ask? Well, to start, they are flattering, a perfect fit, and beyond comfortable – and honestly, that is just the tip of the iceberg! Eliminating the need for uncomfortable Spanx, the thick bands of comfy elastic form and smooth your figure in all the right ways. While I haven’t had any formal events to attend in the past couple of months, I did get a sneak peek at the Sherri Hill Fall 2012 line, which is what sparked this post. A stunning collection of dresses that feature everything under the formal wear rainbow, I totally fell in love with the “rock-star meets sweet girly girl” look that Sherri Hill gets down perfectly. She is getting to be known for her bandage dresses, though (which totally caught my eye!), and this season she has totally outdone herself. Perfect for anyone from the Junior at prom to the mom on a girls night out, these are beyond flattering statement dresses that will be fashionable for years to come. Check out some of my favorites below!

Prom in Bulgaria? More like VULGARia!

We always have a touch of controversy surrounding our prom dresses on Dress Therapy. While most of the dresses we carry are your average (gorgeous!) prom dress styles, we do offer super short minis, mid-driff baring dresses, and dresses with extreme cut outs to round out the selection. While they aren’t a top selling item for us, we do get orders from the girls who want to show a little more skin at prom. We think? No biggie! Parents think? We’re the devil! Okay, it’s maybe not quite that extreme :) Well, while there may be a few mothers outraged at our selection, we were intrigued to get some reactions from this prom album we found. We thought we had seen it all, but apparently…. not. This is a group of prom-goers from Bulgaria, and honestly, we are not even sure they purchased their dresses! These must be the scandalous creation of some handmade crafts and cut outs on normal dresses. What do YOU think about these high school prom dresses? Appropriate, or have they gone too far? Sound off in our comments! WILD!

Menswear goes PROM! Necktie dresses?!

We run across so many crafty prom dresses, it is hard to pick our favorites. We love the scandalous, the unique, and the different, and this dress is no exception! No, it’s no Condom Prom Dress, but regardless, it certainly catches the eye! This snazzy little number is totally made up of – you guessed it – mens ties! The simplistic evening gown is actually wearable and rather attractive! This stunning number really takes the female ‘menswear’ trend to a whole new level! Would you rock this dress? Can’t lie – we are kinda diggin’ it!
