TBDress: Prom Dress Shopping Made Easy

I never went to prom. Hence, I don’t get why most girls in high school made such a big deal of it. But I do understand that it serves as a rite of passage of sorts for young women. We all dream of days wherein we get to wear that perfect dress and get all dolled up. At such a young age, though, our fashion choices are not always the smartest as our sense of fashion is not as refined as when we are in our mid-20s. Insert the cringe-worthy ensembles that most women would like to forget about… which is odd because prom is a special time in a young woman’s life and it should be something you cherish and remember with a smile.

Today, we are considered lucky because the advent of online shopping has made it possible to find a variety of dresses in every cut, color or fabric imaginable. If you are looking for spring formal dresses, you can check here to start with: http://www.tbdress.com/Spring-Formal-Dresses/
Meanwhile, here are my picks for semi-formal and formal dresses for prom:

Semi-Formal Dresses
This dress is sexy and bubbly with a hint of elegance. If you’re not a big fan of long dresses or gowns, this one is perfect for you. The embellished neckline keeps it from being too simple and is appropriate for a cocktail event, too. As the photo suggests, you can wear it with an updo hairstyle.
This is somewhat similar to the dress above because it comes in bold color – no prints or patterns. The neckline is also embellished to make it ideal for evening wear as it gives it a sophisticated touch. Meanwhile, the dramatic shoulder puff and low back makes it stand out.

 Formal Dresses
The sweetheart neckline and the sweet coral color of this dress make it easily stand out for me. This style works really well for young women who want a sexy yet sophisticated look for prom.
This dress caught my eye instantly. The intricate pattern around the chest is definitely eye-catching. However, the sheer simplicity of the style exudes unparalleled elegance. The fabric also hugs the body just right to give it shape and highlight the silhouette.

2014 Golden Globes Favorites

The Golden Globe Awards is the first major red carpet event for the new year and the culmination of the awards season, too. Hence, all eyes are turned to the red carpet to see what everyone is wearing. Fashion experts also note that this red carpet event will also set the stage for red carpet looks and trends to watch out for in this new year.

This year's overall red carpet fashion for the Golden Globe Awards is somewhat of a disappointment, though. The stars that I expected to shine on the red carpet did not pull off. But I had a lot of fun picking out favorites, though. Do check them out below.

Favorite Hair


Zooey Deschanel's look at the 2014 Golden Globes might not be as popular but I still dig it. Loving the retro vibe of her look with the side swept, low bun that also comes with an equally adorable floral hair accessory. She is the picture of glam retro at the red carpet event and I love that she paired it with bold, red lips too.

...because it looks so lovely on the side!

Since I can't make up my mind and I love both hairstyles, I've also picked another favorite hair 'do - Amber Heard. This messy updo helps to break up her ultra feminine look with her navy blue, high-slit dress. The updo is also a perfect choice for Amber because it frames her beautiful face really well (I mean, isn't her face just a work of perfection?). Love that there is a lot of volume around the crown, too.

Favorite Makeup


Margot Robbie is looking stunning at the Golden Globes red carpet this year. But it's not for her Gucci dress (although that is quite a stunner, too). It's her natural glow with this neutral based makeup. According to her makeup artist, Jenn Streicher, it was Margot who insisted on going for the au naturel look because she wanted something to complement her classic and sophisticated Gucci dress. The natural makeup look was definitely the prevailing trend at the red carpet this year! 


Olivia Wilde also rocked a gorgeous makeup at the red carpet event, although I bet she ever needed any more help with that gorgeous face of hers. It could be that or just natural pregnancy glow. Whichever is the case, the choice of eyeshadow color helps to highlight her green eyes and it looked so natural against her skin tone.

Favorite Accessories


Sofia Vergara is always a red carpet favorite for sophisticated style that never fails to turn heads. This year, she not only rocks a gorgeous strapless dress and loose waves but also sparkled in some Loraine Schwartz jewels. Hence, she is my pick for having the best accessories. That turquoise statement necklace is a stunner all by itself!

Favorite Shoes


Zoe Saldana's Prabal Gurung dress was somewhat a disappointment for me. However, she redeemed herself with these stunning shoes! 

Favorite Dress


As the 2014 Golden Globes was happening in real-time and I was checking my Twitter feed, there was nothing else that popped up on the feed and they all were raving about the dress from Cate Blanchett. It's from Armani Prive. And I loved it on Cate - so regal, sophisticated, and age-appropriate.


Another favorite of mine at the 2014 Golden Globes is from Taylor Swift. I, too, am quite surprised I picked her. The cut in this two-tone dress is breathtaking on her. And I also appreciate that her sweetheart neckline showed just the right amount of cleavage. And good call on Taylor to keep her accessories to a minimum as this dress is already quite a statement in itself.

Who was your best dressed at this year's Golden Globe Awards?


 

Floral Crop Top



Summer is long ways gone and not coming anytime soon. But while the crop top fest is on a high, might as well ride with it. I got this floral blue crop top from Be Fabulous Online Shop and loved it the moment I put it on. The fabric is flowy and comfortable. When I decided to wear it on my recent getaway at a nature park, I opted for a black leggings to pair it with to give a casual, relaxed vibe to my look and keep things comfortable. But I suspect this will serve me plenty of use as its versatile enough to be worn with denim jeans or shorts.

Winter Wedding Style Ideas from TBDress.com

Weddings always make me gush. It matters not if it’s a summer or a winter wedding, there is always that magical air about it that puts you into celebratory mood. But wedding during party season? It is surely an event one is going to remember! 

 The dress is the heart of the wedding planning – it is important for the bride to look her best during her wedding day. Choosing a winter wedding dress is often limited to dresses with sleeves. But who says you have to play by tradition all the time?

There are several new styles of A-line and halter wedding dresses available online for those wanting to walk down the aisle in a sexy, alluring dress. Forget sleeved dresses because you can always accessorize your dress with warming winter accessories. It is all about the cut, the style, and the embellishment! 

Even if you dare to wear non-sleeved dresses, you can make up for it with thick satin fabric to give you enough warmth during the cold months. Accessories such as a cashmere cap, lacy shawl, or a faux fur can give you enough warmth without sacrificing style. The fabric is another important factor to consider when buying semi formal dresses for the big event. You would not want to spend most of your day shivering in your halter or A-line dress. Luxurious silk satins, brocade, velvet or other similar heavy fabrics are what you are looking for here. There are several styles to look into here: http://www.tbdress.com/Formal-Semi-Formal-Dresses/

Lastly, winter weddings are the most forgiving when it comes to choosing other color of wedding dresses. This means that you do not have to stick with a traditional white wedding dress. If you want something different for your big day, feel free to experiment with what you want! A colorful gown will surely add drama to your entire look!

If you would like to get more fun and adorable wedding dress styles, TBDress.com is a great option for unique styles that stand out! Go to http://www.tbdress.com/A-Line-With-Halter-Top-Wedding-Dresses/ to see their designs and other amazing fashion finds!
