Be Prom Perfect This Year

Posted by The Editorial Desk / Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Hello, Hello shoppers! It’s Devon once again stepping in for Natalie. While Natalie takes a little R&R and basks in the tropical sun, I’ll be here filling you in on the top shopping trends, news and sales for the rest of the week.

Well spring has finally arrived, and for our young fashionistas of NoVA that means it’s time to start planning for Prom. Want to make heads turn without busting the budget? I suggest heading over to Macys.com. There you’ll find a huge assortment of dresses and most are on sale! While you’re over there, check out this little number that is only $59.00. Not only does it have the hem length of the season, but it’s floral and has pockets! Dresses don’t get much more adorable than that. If you’re not going short, then you’re going super long with a flowy maxi dress. Maxi dresses are great because they have enough of a flirty casual air that they can be re-worn to all your summertime events.

So now that you have your dress, it’s time to move our attention to accessories. For those of you opting out of the standard satin and rhinestone combo and embracing the fresh spring trends, I recommend snatching up a clutch from local designer Brooke Galardi of Bee Gee Bags. This silk piece with the brilliant peacock feathers is gorgeous. With its neutral tones, you’ll be sure to use this piece over and over again.

As for shoes, I’d have to point you in the direction of Nordstrom.com. They’re currently having their online shoe clearance. They’ve marked down some hot heels up to 50-percent off! With so many items on sale, you’ll be sure to find the prefect option to your style.

Lastly, if you’re looking some for baubles to brighten your dress, check out the jewelry at Nordstrom.com in their ‘under $50′ section. They have a great selection of bright gems that will be the prefect finishing touch.

Now, for those of us who are a few years past our Prom days but still like to feel like an elegant young lady, head over to Neiman Marcus at Tysons Galleria on March 20 to get a chance to meet designer David Meister. Meister creates gorgeous gowns that can make any woman feel glamorous and enchanting. And, since you’ll already be there, I thought I’d mention that March 19 through the 20, during their Current Event, Neiman Marcus will be giving away a special tote designed by Elizabeth & James with any purchase of $350. For those who spend $500 or more, you’ll also receive an Elizabeth & James belt!

Happy shopping! I’ll see you all back here tomorrow to give you a weekend send off.
