It’s been many years since I’ve been planning for homecoming – but I go to a friend’s mock prom quite often, so I’m almost always in formal-dress-ready mode.
I think this Speechless Strapless Bubble Dress is very cute! White/black is always hot – like, classically – and bubble dresses? Screams retro sexy. Not that you want your teenager to …read more

Well, it’s officially here. Homecoming 2007 takes place in my ‘hood this weekend. I can hardly wait to stalk all the great restaurants, ogling dresses and sizing up hairdos. And the guys – what are they going to be wearing? Ooh, the thrill of it all makes me tingle (just tell me you’re not going to Hooters for dinner, okay? Okay?)
So tonight’s all about the game and tomorrow’s all about the nail salon, frantic searches for Band-aids (for those blisters you’re sure to get while shakin’ your groove thang) and enough hair spray to seal a wooden deck from the …read more

Augh! It’s almost here – HOMECOMING 2007! Yay! This is such a fun time of year. Parades, dances, games, dances, bonfires…dances. Do you have your dress yet? No? Well get crackin’, girl!
Sure, jewel tones were a huge trend at the Emmys (and I loved them – especially the red), but I am all over metallics for Homecoming. There’s something about them. So rich. So alluring. So fun and hip. So elegant. IMO, metallics are perfect for Homecoming, regardless of the level of formality your school’s dance has. Below, I’ll show you several gorgeous dresses, all from Macy’s, that rock metallics …read more

Ha! And you thought you’d get the weekend off. Nah, but this book is sooo worth it. And with Homecoming just around the bend, it should practically be required that you read this!
Now, I’m not going to be the spoiler here, but let me tell you that Aspen is someone you totally want to read about. Why? She loves Dooneys, she’s totally presh and, oh yeah, she’s pretty flippin’ smart. A great BFF, she’d make.
So check this book out over the weekend and stay tuned…there will be a pop quiz next week. No, really. I’m serious.
Want more? …read more

Yesterday I told you that the rockin’ Christina Aguilera was my #1 pick from the Emmys. Still true. But as the fabulous Yoyo pointed out (see comments below) there was plenty more greatness roaming around. Here are a couple other looks you might want to steal for Homecoming, winter formal, or a Saturday morning jaunt to Target if you’re so inclined (hey, I’m just saying…)

Eva Longoria
Okay, duh, this one should go without saying. When doesn’t Eva look perfect? I mean, really. Even though she wasn’t my total fave this time around, she still killed it and surely turned a few …read more

Did you watch the Emmys Sunday night? There were plenty of fashion flops to laugh at (see for yourself at my other blog, Snarkstress) but there were also a few who really seemed to understand the meaning of the phrase “Bring it”. Thank Gawd for that, huh?
So here are my choices for Best and Worst Style Icons of the Emmys. What do you think? Agree or no? Did I miss someone? Let me know.
BEST…

Christina Aguilera
Never mind the fact that her baby bump is showing in full force, this chick is hot any way you look at her. The screen siren …read more
