Prom 2013

It's February already meaning PROM SEASON for high school kids. I attended prom some 5 or 6 years ago and I want to forget it!! My gown and make-up was a disaster!! Fashion then wasn't as it was now, and I wasn't as confident then as I am now so I was pretty limited. Lucky for the high school kids now, they have access to a lot of resources for inspiration like the internet, bloggers, etc. Plus, stores now offer better, more fashionable clothing and designers are more creative and adventurous. Kids these days are so lucky.
Anyway, here are some of my tips and picks for prom season.
My favorite star whom I watch out for on the red carpet for her age and personality-appropriate choices is Selena Gomez. She just always gets it right for me! Selena with Vanessa Hudgens
Tip: #YOYO You're only young once so try to shy away from jewel tones that can make you look older. Try wearing this beautiful plum of Vanessa's.

Marchesa F/W 2012 RTW

I love love love Marchesa!

Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig did it again!

Although their collection had some darker pieces (reds and blacks which I didn't include), it still stayed true to the Marchesa design aesthetic. The details are exquisite and truly intricate. Every piece is breath taking. I'm sure if I were there, I'd feel like I'd be watching a parade of goddesses walking right in front of me. These are some of my favorite pieces.

Makes me think, If these are just RTW, what would the Haute Couture pieces look like?

New York Fashion Week S/S 2012: Marchesa

Marchesa has always been a favorite of mine, because they bring out the inner princess in me. This collection designed by Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman was no different. Inspired by the sea, the collection was neutral-heavy, but full of texture given the different fabrics used. Think tulle, draped organza, mesh and the like--really designed to bring an element of whimsy, fancy and magic. I just fell in love!

Here are some of my favorites:
