Dave & Johnny does Rectangular Sequins

Has anyone noticed the hottest new trend right now is rectangular sequins? Girls are loving these sequins on every style of dress from ballgown to short dress to prom dress. These little embellishments add just the right amount of glitz and glamour.

I love how Dave & Johnny has worked with the rectangular sequins this season, with this gorgeous purple dress. Dave & Johnny is one of the more affordable designers who makes great pieces.

Dave & Johnny #8270 - A great short cocktail look for any girl, wear this to homecoming, or a holiday party with ease.

We love the trend here at Magic Moments and we have a bunch of these dresses in store and online.

Jasz Fall 2012 : Flared or Form Fitted?

Fitted or Flared : Jasz Couture's Fall 2012 line of short dresses.

The Fall 2012 line of Jasz Couture is comprised of two main silhouettes: shape conforming slinky designs & dresses that flare outward in full layers of tulle. The styles within these two types of designer dresses range - from devilishly sexy to sweetly feminine. It really has something to suit a range of tastes.

For girls who have a great figure and want to show it off - you will love styles such as 4706, 4708 & 4701. These dresses feature sexy side cut outs, bold patterns of sequins and dropped waistlines.While some styles feature an ornate and flashy fashion full of sequins and jewels others are clean cut and focus more on the shape of your silhouette.

On the other side of the coin, Jasz Couture 2012 line of short designer dresses have a large selection of full fluffy styles. These dresses have a feminine almost fantasy fairy element to them that seems to capture a lot of hearts. Its a fine mix of modesty and fashionable elements that work for homecoming, prom or even winter formals! These dresses are great to focus on the long line of your legs and neck while downplaying areas of concern ( ie: the mid section! ). Styles like 4702 have a structured bodice style top that create the illusion of a hourglass silhouette with the help of the full tiers of organza along the skirt. This style has a decent amount of coverage but styles like 4736 certainly are more racey with it's glitz trimmed straps that frame the bust and open back.

But how are prints being received this fall? Last season we saw a huge array of printed fabrics from ombre dip dyes, leopard to floral. These wild and unique prints were a easy way to distinguish yourself from your peers without spending thousands of dollars on a custom design.Sadly though, these dresses are very "hit or miss". Girls either LOVE them or hate them. It seems Jasz's fall line doesn't really carry much in the way of these animal prints but as we see in style 4704 prints they do have are much more subdued than what we have seen in the past. The style itself is adorable with the harness back and full skirt but will you be getting an animal print dress for your homecoming?

Emmy Inspirations for Prom Dress Trends

We are sure everyone had their favorite celebrity designer dresses while watching the 2012 Emmy's! These award shows are a great place to get inspiration for your choice of prom dress or a dress for any special occasion. Here are a few styles and trends that we thought were hot on the red carpet that night, and will be seen trending for Prom 2013.

Allison Williams from Girls looked fabulous in this green Oscar de la Renta "crumb catcher" style dress, but you don't have to break the bank to have that same look! Turn to designer prom dresses like Clarisse pictured above for $280! Of if you have a little more cash to burn, turn to Tony Bowls, who has been seen numerously on the Red Carpet but still offers affordable choices.

Maria Menounos, from Dancing With the Stars showed off her sexy style in a beautiful sweetheart neckline, flowing skirt and side slit. Designers like Prima Donna and Gigi by La Femme offer these style dresses for a fraction of the cost!

We have to say that Kelly Osbourne was wearing a favorite of ours. Classy, one shoulder, lilac gown by Zac Posen. Alyce Designs and Evenings by Allure creates styles like this that we think make stunning prom dresses.

The sexy sequin mini dress shined under the hot lights of the stage and the perfect warm earth toned color made this blond bombshell really stand out! You'll find for the new season of La Femme Evenings this neutrally flattering color scheme is all over.

Both of these stunning formal dresses are shown in the "nude" color which is very much leading vanguard in this spring 2013 prom fashion. Its a universally flattering tone that brings out the warmth in a tan as well as a classic old Hollywood glamor to the paler shades.

La Femme's cocktail division is also a great display of a range of trends this season. We are seeing styles from the sexy form fitted bodycon dresses to faux-feathers and flowing chiffon a-line skirts! These designers look to not only outfit the stars but the everyday girl to make sure you *feel* like your walking down your own red carpet event.

This flirty babydoll dress ( Style: La Femme 17446 ) shows the other side of La Femme Fashion's sexy dramatic style persona.

These dresses are tailored in such a way it gives you the opportunity to emphasis on what ever aspect you like!
