I’ve been blessed with some extra advertising income this month and I wanted to share it with you as a BIG thank you for your loyal readership!

So, I’m giving away a $150 gift card to one of the shops below – your choice!   These sites aren’t sponsoring this giveaway or anything, they are merely my favorite places to shop.

To enter, download the new Fashion Pegie (pronounced like “peggy”) desktop gadget. It conveniently places updated links to several top fashion sites (including Prom Mafia!) right on your desktop so you can stay updated on all the latest trends in fashion.

Just leave a comment here letting me know you installed it and be sure to tell me which gift card you would select if you won.  The winner will need to send me a screen shot with the Pegie open on their desktop to prove their entry was valid.

Extra entries for each of the following:

• Like Prom Mafia on Facebook
• Follow Prom Mafia on Twitter
• Daily tweet about the giveaway that includes a link and @PromMafia

Be sure to leave a separate comment for each entry.  Contest ends on Sunday, April 17th. Good luck!

Kitten heels are a godsend. They typically refer to heels in the 1.5 to 2 inch range and allow you some extra height without the pain of high heels.

In the 1950s they were called “trainer heels” for tweens.  Even if you don’t need any training, they’re still a great addition to your wardrobe.

Trend alert! I’m all about the tomboy chic look and I think boyfriend blazers are a must…at least for me.

To add the “chic” part of the tomboy chic look, be sure to add some girly and feminine details like floral prints, broaches, lace, skirts, etc. I don’t have one of these yet, but if I did, I would pair it with a basic top, fun skirt, tights, and booties.
