Scala: Smolderingly HOT Beaded Dresses.


This season's Style Trends are Indisputable: Girls are going to be looking Sultry. Sexy. Scolding HOT in heavily sequined & beaded form fitted mini-dresses!

Just as evening dresses are becoming popular for senior prom, the short cocktail dress is in the spotlight for events like homecoming, winter formals and even a night out clubbing or celebrating a 21st birthday.

The little black dress is getting its makeover in Scala style 47466. Thick straps reach up from a
 strong v neckline to reach over the shoulders and create a geometric flare to the design. These
same straps cross through the back in an X fashion and lead into a plunging open back. The 
black sequins bleed into a pretty pink accent and dip into a silver ombre. This splash of color
is best tied in elsewhere - be it a colorful smokey eye or even a pair of Aspen Glitter Pumps!

If you want to keep the focus on your dress 
( and maybe some incredible smokey eyeshadow and earrings!) opt for a black heel.
 But don't misunderstand us, there is no reason to choose a boring pump!
 The extra straps are also very handy for first time heel-wearers as they help secure your foot.



:Lead. Graphite. Platinum. Antique Gold. Gunmetal:

These are the colors you want to scoop up and give a try as they are the new glamorous alternative to the simple black shift.The little black dress can never be replaced, but this neutral toned range of shades are
so very universally flattering for a range of skintones and hair colors. It's that interesting shade we just 
havent seen used much in these divisions of fashion that make it such a stunning choice. Depending on how you coordinate with stockings, shoes, cropped bolero jackets, necklaces or even gloves these short party dresses can realy showcase your unique personality.



But What Should I do with my Makeup? So many girls are wearing a grey smokey eye to their events but you can change it up a bit by doing this vogue-ish style in different shades. Bronze smokey eyes are flattering to blue, hazel and green eye colors and can offer a more natural look. If the purpose is to stand out in the crowd try a smokey eye with a color to tie into your dress! Vibrant and eye-popping purples are showing up on the runways and paired with a black liner can be very stunning!

Chic New Bari Jay Bridesmaid Styles.

bridesmaids dresses

    Throughout the years it was common for the bride to choose a single dress in the colors of her event for all of her dear friends in the bridal party. This practice often led to the cliche images of misfit bridesmaid dresses we often joke about today. Really, its not the the dresses were bad but that the same dress is not always meant to flatter every figure!

    Luckily for the bridesmaids of today, its become a hot new trend for the Bride to allow her maids some leeway in choosing a dress. Its become very acceptable to have your friends choose a style of dress they prefer and have it ordered in the colors of the party to match. This way a busty girl can wear an eggplant dress with supportive straps and a short girl can show a little leg in a tea length dress and still be uniform in their bride's chosen color scheme. Another way to set the maids apart while still remaining in scheme is to allow them to freely asessorize! Allowing them to wear jackets of different styles in the same color is a easy and fun way.  I mean really, just because it isnt your bridal party's big day doesnt mean you want your best friends to look silly in all of your photos!


Romantic Grecian styles are a fashionable way to remain modest without compromising a flare of personality! Notice the peek-o-boo accent at the shoulder, what a fun detail!


2012 bridesmaid designers are producing more and more bridesmaid dresses in a tea length.The short length offers ease of motion (great for being on the dance floor !)  as well as fresh style that can be worn at plenty of other events after the wedding! 



In style 430 (left pictured in raspberry) and 417 (pictured in charcoal iridescent chiffon ) we see the classic pleat is still very much "in". Throughout this collection they are used to give geometric flare as well as texture to what would otherwise be a very simple shift.

Runway Hot looks for a Fraction of the Price! : Tony Bowls.





We are seeing more and more girls coming into our long island prom store looking to snag up a dress that suits multiple occasions. You fall in love with a dress for prom or sweet 16 and you want to be able to wear it again, not hide it in a closet somewhere! With designers such as Tony Bowls, its easy to pick out a dress for your event that is sure not to look dated or dreary in a year. His lines are always on point for the fashion season and often - ahead of its time!

Its all about getting that expensive runway look without spending thousands of dollars!The designer keeps up with these hot fashion trends for a fraction of the cost. The fall 2013 season is already giving us glimpses into runway looks of top designers such as  Roberto Cavalli, Michael Kors and Dolce & Gabbana with grand displays of shimmering gold metallics.

 Dolce & Gabbana’s ready to wear runway show had a huge finale with their models walking out sporting gold encrusted glitzy bodysuits that screamed Vegas, Baby!
This hot rock and roll feel is seen in a few of the newest Mon Cheri dresses.






Rich texture is created through this line in unusual ways. Styles such as TS21217 & TS21228 are covered in sequin plates that are shaped in an organic flowing manner to create a eye-catching ombre effect. These exclusive cocktail dresses carry a very high impact look that is sure to be noticed during homecoming, a night at the club or even a mardi gras vacation! It really depends on how you coordinate the dress with other items. Pair one of these sweet heart dresses with a cropped leather jacket for a rock and roll look the runways would be proud of - or add your own bit of personality to the outfit by choosing a cute fascinator!
Check out these celebrities wearing their own fascinators:





  The body conscious fit isnt for everyone. That is why the designer Tony Bowls offers several other styles to accommodate to a range of tastes.

   To the right style TS21212 boasts a structured sweet heart bodice covered in multi colored crystals that shine in the light beautifully. The skirt is comprised of a semi sheer light weight tulle fabric treated with a curled hemline. Its ruffles show a slight hint of the abstract animal print underskirt for that added flare of personality!

  To the left, TS21202 has a similar style with layers of light & flowing tulle decorated with laser cut mirror embellishments. This style, though also sweet heart, tends to be a bit more mature in taste with it's less poofy skirt and sophisticated color palette.
