It's never to earlier to start planning for prom! With that in mind, I'd like to share with you, my Ultimate Prom Guide!

Deciding on what to conquer first can be overwhelming. I mean, do you pick the dress first, the jewelry, should you wear your hair up or down? Oh my, as you can see, it can be a bit daunting! But no worries, as I’m here to share with you everything you need to know to look like a celeb at your high school prom. From jewels to the hottest prom dresses ever! This is your night, so why not dress to impress!

First and foremost you want to decide on the dress. Doing this first will help you determine on how to wear your hair, makeup, and of course your jewelry!

The Dress: There are many trends this season from long to short, and glamorous to flirty, so which one is for you? To determine this you want to look at your body and establish what is your silhouette. Picking a style that plays up your features, as opposed to what is most popular, is the key.

For your celeb look I suggest JenJenHouse.  This online retailer, has a vast array of dresses to choose from. Plus, one thing I really like about them, is they have dresses that are made to order! Hence, you can have a dress that will be personally tailored to fit your exact measurements! If custom made isn’t your cup of tea, you can also order standard sizes. They have great sizing charts that can walk you through every step on how to choose the perfect dress, for your perfect night.

What Kind Jewelry: Finishing with the best jewels is a must. And what better place to shop for an Oscar worthy look then, Chloe + Isabel. All of their pieces are hand crafted, nickel free, hypo-allergenic, lead safe, and have a lifetime replacement guarantee, phew that was a mouthful! Furthermore, the Chloe + Isabel line has been featured in Teen Vogue, Glamour Magazine, Lucky Magazine, and many more! Need I say more, Ms. Hollywood? 

So, sit back, relax and sip on your cup of Starbucks, while you see what I’ve selected especially for your prom night!

The Hollywood Glam

The Dress:
My selected dress for this look, is the empire chiffon sweetheart floor length dress. With the black bodice, long flowing chiffon, and accents of sparkles & beading, you are sure to make your classmates envious with this gown. Personally, I love this style because it is flattering on any body type. The dress featured is in the color pool. However is comes in about 32 different colors! (#018004900).

The Jewelry
The jewels featured here are from the Ocean Lakes Line. A luminescent gray mother-of-pearl inlay, set behind a faceted clear cabochon, making this the perfect stand out option!

After you have finished with your dress and jewels, you want to move on to your hair and makeup.  Both need to complement the dress. You don’t want bling from head to toe. For example, if you have a sequin dress, balance it out with a matte look.  
  
 Stunning Makeup Options:
  • Turn it up with a smokey eye.
  • Glimmer into the night with a shimmery eyeliner.
  • Put on the glam with a metallic eye shadow.
  • And don’t forget to compliment your eyes with some fake eyelashes.
Glamorous Hair: 
With regards to your hair, I recommend showing a few styles to your friends to see what they feel would accentuate your face the best.  Whether it is an up-do, a bouffant or flowing waves, it’s best to try out a few prior to the big night.

So, there you have it, my prom guide to you!  And remember ladies no matter what you decide on, please make sure you pick something that gives you confidence and is flattering. Making you feel like a celebrity in your own high school!

  6. I always remember floor length dresses! I wish so much my daughter would wear a longer dress. I'm hoping she will like the style of the Ivory dress, but in a different color.

    1. Me too, loved the long dresses! The one I featured is a very popular one. So hopefully your daughter will like it. They do have others that are similar, so I would most certainly look through their selection.

      Again, thanks for stopping by my blog!

  7. Barbie,
    That blue dress is gorgeous! I really like how you paired it with the Jewelry! I'm just not one for a special occasion like this to shop online. Do you know the return policy? Will I spend as much in shipping as the dress itself?

  8. They do have gorgeous dresses and some great sales. I might be dating myself but when I went to prom there wasn't as much available online and we had dial up that you couldn't use your home phone with. I think, man if I could have shopped online then, I would have been so much more stylish lol

    1. Online didn't exist for me in 1988. There was one store we visited and purchased all my dresses for the dances throughout high school. Today, there are so many options for the girls. So fun, I think!
