Dress Your Body

Queen Bee — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 04:21:29 +0000

Having trouble finding a prom dress? You might be going in the wrong direction, so let’s start at the beginning and figure out your body type.

Hourglass

Think Scarlett Johansson.

From mango.com

You’ve got curves in all the right places, which you can accentuate with a tight waist. Look for corset top dresses, A-line, and princess cut dresses.

From promgirl.com

Triangle Shape

Think Victoria Beckham (pre-breast reduction).

From harpersbazaar.com

You’re (how shall we say it?) well endowed and have little hips. You can wear almost anything as long as it is tight in the waist. Maxi, corset, A-line, and princess cut will all look great on you. Avoid empire cuts and detailed necklines and you’ll be fine.

Pear Shape

Think Jennifer Lopez.

From handbag.com

You’ve got gorgeous curves with most of ‘em on the bottom half of your body. Look for dresses with details up top to help balance out your body. Empire, A-line and any flowy skirt will look flattering on you.

Rectangle Shape

Think Miranda Kerr.

From trend911.com

You’ve got less curves than the other girls. Try to find a dress with ruffles, ruching, and ornate details. All this will help fill out your figure.

Rock the Look: Animal Print

Searching for an animal print prom dress? Here’s how I’d pull off the look:

Evening Dresses at eDressMe
Clutches by Jessica McClintock

I think this strapless dress is absolutely gorgeous! I would add a splash of color with bright red lipstick. If you really want to be the center of attention, get one of these chic masquerade masks. This one would match perfectly:

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!).

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

Chic in Sherri Hill

Queen Bee — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 11:41:07 +0000

Sherri Hill is another designer that makes fabulous dresses. Her dresses are all girly and sparkley, making them perfect for a formal Homecoming.

I just love these cross over one shouldered dresses.

Which one is your favorite?

Chic Backpacks

Queen Bee — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 10:58:47 +0000

Finding a cute backpack can be tough. It seems like you have to choose between boring Jansport or Dora the Explorer. What about us chic fashionistas? Luckily, I was able to find a few for you. Like this polka dotted cutie.

From mobileedge.com

And thank goodness for Dakine. Their collection of backpacks are anything but boring. I’m loving this messenger bag, which comes with a laptop compartment and everything.

From dakine.com

And Dakine has the best selection of patterns. Just look at this fabulous animal print.

From dakine.com

And for those not limited by a budget, Louis Vuitton has a chic backpack.

From louisvuitton.com

Personally, I prefer the Dakine bags. How about you?

Darling Danglies

Queen Bee — Sat, 23 May 2009 02:04:05 +0000

I love big dangly earrings. They are so dramatic. I can’t wear them though because I have a fear of my earlobes stretching out…don’t ask me why…I just do. But for the rest of you who can and do wear them, here are some cute ones for summer.

These are more for summer nights and they’re only $6.50.

From agacistore.com

I love these too and they’re only $4.50.

From agacistore.com

These are on sale for $2.70! At that price, you should get a pair in pink and white too.

From agacistore.com

And for those of you who (like me) prefer studs, this awesome set is only $4.50.
