A Peek at Homecoming

Queen Bee — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 12:42:52 +0000

I know I’m wayyyyy early, but homecoming season is a-comin’! Here are some cute and affordable dresses from Windsor.

This dress is my favorite. Love the ruffles and asymmetrical neckline.

This strapless dress has such a cute detail up top. Plus the sweetheart neckline is flattering on any body type.

I love the bright color of this green homecoming dress. And check out that ruffled sleeve! Such a statement.

Kiss Me, I’m Irish

With St. Patrick’s Day coming up, it’s time to get together your green outfit to avoid a day of pinches from your friends and family. Though the graphic tees with messages of beer and inebriation are quite popular, I prefer the classier route. Isn’t this top so much cuter?

From forever21.com

I’ve been eyeing this green coat for a while now and maybe St. Pattys Day is the perfect excuse to finally get it!

Or just cheat by with a green accessory like this purse.

Or this peacock necklace.

Dresses Under $50

If you’ve got a dress budget of $50, you still have a big selection to choose from at places like Lulus. I’m loving this pink ruffled dress!

With teal being the color this year, I thought you might like this $40 dress.

This aqua prom dress is gorgeous too.

This tri colored strapless dress is only $30!

This strapless print dress would look adorable on any body type. You could even add a crinoline underneath to give it a tutu look.

Be Outrageous

From newyorkcouture.etsy.com

I am absolutely in love with this dress! Yes, this picture is fabulously outrageous, but take out the funky hair, tights, and shoes, and you have an adorable and original prom dress! And for only $150, it’s quite a deal.

Now this dress is just insane! In fact, the name of it is Creepy cartoon bug dress.

From devaniweaver.etsy.com

This mermaid dress is toned down compared to the previous one, but it is still spunky.

From devaniweaver.etsy.com

Here is a denim, yes denim, prom dress. Look at the detail of the skirt. Amazing!

From oblivionclothing.etsy.com

If you’re obsessed with peacocks, like me, then maybe you’ll go for this outrageous feather dress.

From vrreis.etsy.com

Here is another bold and beautiful dress.

You won’t need a corsage with this romantic dress!

Which dress is your favorite? You bold enough to wear it?

Print Prom Dresses

Queen Bee — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 04:53:06 +0000

I know I’m early, but I just couldn’t help myself! Print dresses are my absolute favorite trend for prom this year. They have tons of personality and come in so many styles, colors and patterns. Here are some of my favorites from La Femme.

From lafemmefashion.com

Most of La Femme’s print dresses are maxi cut and would look great on almost every body type.

From lafemmefashion.com

Jovani also has some gorgeous print dresses with more of a princess look. If I were still in high school, this would so be my prom dress!

Animated Fashion

Queen Bee — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:31:10 +0000

A little known fact about me- I looooove cartoons. (I’m actually writing an enormous paper on cartoons for one of my classes this semester!) We don’t usually think of them as fashion icons, but they are a great source of style inspiration.

Marge at ModCloth

Dress, shoes, and necklace from ModCloth

Marge has a unique and eclectic style. She’s always in a bold green dress, classic red necklace, and practical red flats. It’s hard not to look like a Christmas ornament in green and red, but this outfit from ModCloth pulls it off.

Lucy at Lulu’s

Dress, shoes, and sunnies from Lulu’s

Lucy is one of my favorite cartoon characters. She’s smart, crafty, and always in her cute blue dress. This outfit from Lulu’s is a modern take on the Peanuts classic. Even if you aren’t a fan of this outfit, how can you not love those shoes?!

Leela at Lulu’s

Top, jeans, boots, and bracelet from Lulu’s

Leela from Futurama is an alien dressed to kick some butt. They make fun of her “boring” fashion on the show, but you can never go wrong in a white top and jeans.

Sneak Peek: Prom 2010

Queen Bee — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 07:35:23 +0000

Another sneak peek of some fab Prom 2010 fashions!

These gorgeous dresses are from Lilac Dress Boutique in Alameda, CA.

And the pictures are by Maurice Ramirez Photo. Wish he was on the East coast so he could take my picture!

Real Women Have Curves

Queen Bee — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 17:13:13 +0000

Sometimes (most of the time) fashion sites have icky skeletor models. Really, who looks like that in real life?! Pshhh… So here are some fabulous Homecoming dresses for us real women out there! This dress is by far my favorite and would be perfect for showing off your gorgeous curves.

From promgirl.com

If you are blessed with a voluptuous chest, try going strapless. Show off what you’ve got!

From sydneyscloset.com

If you are curvy everywhere except the chest, try a dress like this with embellishments on the top to balance out your figure.

From unique-vintage.com

And dresses with a ruched bodice make you look slimmer in the waist and really accentuate curvy hips (in a good way!).

From promgirl.com

What tips do you Mafiettes have about showing off your curves in formal wear?

Best of DC Fashion Week

Queen Bee — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 07:12:28 +0000

Here are some of my favorite outfits from DC Fashion Week. As I’ve mentioned before, the lighting was terrible so the pictures didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped. In the spirit of optimism, we’ll call them artistic, not blurry.

Gorgeous, even when they’re blurry! Any favorites?

Joy of Jovani

Queen Bee — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:47:36 +0000

Jovani has an *amazing* selection of homecoming dresses. So amazing that it was tough to select just a few for this post!
