It’s never too early to start planning for your prom.  Many girls start planning several months to a year in advance.  Using your free time in the summer, start thinking about what colors look best on you.  For example for fair skin tones, try purples or jewel tones and for darker skin tones oranges and reds. Also, think about styles of dresses that you’ll feel sexy and confident in.  Thinking about styles and colors will help you narrow your search for the perfect dress.  Make prom 2011 a stress free one!

Hey Girls!

During prom season, one of the biggest problems my friends and I run into is what essential items to bring. Since we don’t have our usual over sized bags, we need to narrow down the items to fit into that cute tiny clutch. Here at PromShoe, we came up with a list that keeps you from over packing the unnecessary.

-   Two Make-up Items: We spent hours getting ready for this! Theres no need to bring your whole make-up bag, just a couple favorites for touch ups. We suggest a lip gloss for after the meal, and eye liner to fix what wore off on the dance floor.
-   A Pack of Gum or Mints: These are always quick and handy to freshen up after a meal!
-   Tampon/Pad: Nothing could ruin your night faster than a little accident. Be prepared!
-   Camera and/or Cell Phone: This is basically self explanitory, we need tons of pictures to remember the amazing night!  And who goes anywhere without thier cell these days?

Hope this helps you all when pulling your stuff together! What other things would you bring?

Are you taking prom pictures outside? Try this great new product! Solemates come in clear or black and slip right onto the heel of your shoe. They create more surface area keeping the heels from sinking into the grass! They can be removed when you are done with no damage to the shoe. This way, you can take pictures in your backyard without worrying about your shoes! Check them out at http://www.dyeableshoestore.com/dyeable-shoe-store/accessories-by-manufacturer/solemates.asp!

For the first time, my high school is going to do a theme for prom this year! I am on the prom comittee and we are having trouble coming up with a unique and fun idea. Does anyone have suggestions for a cool prom theme?

Check out this cool new product! They are called “Footzyrolls” and are basically ballet flats that roll up so you can throw them in your purse! I don’t know about you guys but after wearing heels all night my feet are always killing me! These are great to throw on for the walk home or to change into for dancing!

It is never too early to start looking for your prom dress! For me, the worst thing that could happen at prom would be showing up in the same dress as someone else. That is why I always make sure to buy my dress early. Here’s a tip: ask your dress shop if they will register your dress. Many shops keep a running list of who bought what dress and which prom they are going to. This is especially important if you live in a smaller town where there are limited dress stores. Less places to shop=higher chance of two girls having the same dress. Buying your dress early and having it registered ensures that you have first choice of dresses and that noone else will steal your spotlight on the biggest night of high school.

I know some of you out there must be as mildly obsessed with Twlight as I am! I was sitting home re-watching it this weekend and couldn’t wait for the oh-so epic prom scene. In typical Bella fashion, she wore sneakers with her prom dress. But for those of us who want to look like Bella for prom and are not brave enough to rock sneakers, I have come up with a few alternatives. Here is Bella’s prom look:

And here are some other options what would look awesome with the same dress:

Any of these would spice up her look a little bit. The first two could be dyed to match her blue dress. The last one makes a statement all it’s own. Does anyone know where you can find the dress she is wearing?

Hey Guys! We will be at the 1st Annual Elegance by Carbonneau Pre-Prom Fashion Show & Dance! If you live in the Massachusetts area, come down and check us out! You can enter to win free prom shoes, a free handbag, and a limo to take you and your friends to prom in style! I posted the flyer for the event below. See you there!

Just got a preview of the new styles for 2010…lookin good! We are seeing a ton of purple and orange for 2010…take note!

I came across this aticle today http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/23713175/ns/today-today_weddings?GT1=43001. Instead of preserving their wedding gowns (or hanging them in the back of their closet) some brides have found a new way to display their dress after the wedding.  They have incorporated their wedding dress into a high fashion photo shoot. While this does ruin the dress, it is a unique shot which can be framed in your home. If you have a prom dress that you will never wear again, you might want to gather some friends and turn your old prom dresses into a fun photo shoot you can do at home!
