Prom 2010: Dresses

The most important element of prom is of course the dress! Girls shop months in advance to find a dress that makes them look amazing for the big nite. I'm going to go over various Styles and Trends and even put some ideas in. Here we go....

Short Dresses:


Short dresses can be used for Junior Prom. Like this cute mini from Jovani. Most girls are really focused on getting the beautiful long dress. Why not be a individual? Why not step out? Why not go to prom in a gorgeous classy short dress?

One Shoulder Dresses:

This is one of most popular looks not just for prom, but for the red carpet as well as the runway. One shoulder is elegant, sophisticate, but still extremely sexy! Its more interesting than the same old spaghetti straps or even strap less. The only tricky thing is accessorising properly...but stay tuned for that :).

Strapless Dresses:

Strapless dress is a classic dress look. The key to strapless dresses is the right fit. I can not stress this enough. When you buy a strapless Dress you must have a great strapless bra that holds everything up. If not you will be doing the dress lift dance all night.

Mermaid Dresses:

This look is far to beautiful for people not try. Tight around the bodice then long and flowing around the lower leg. It's a beautiful look. Mermaid dresses can come with straps, strapless and one shoulder. One of the best part of mermaid dresses are the accessories that you can match it up with, but more on that later.

Pattern Dresses:

This look is very popular this season. Patterns with colors; weather it be flowers, ivy, or even animal print you will see someone at your prom in this look. This look is all about the dress and not so much about the accessories. So don't go to crazy with accessories or hair, just let the dress speak for itself.

Hopefully...

Hopefully this helped you out. Make sure that whatever dress you pick is comfortable and makes you feel like a movie star.

Jersey Shore Couture???

I was breezing by my favorite magazines websites and I came upon Harper's Bazaar. And as I looked through it my eye caught this article called Jersey Shore Charm school. It shows Snookie Jwoww and Sammi going through charm school. Now I'm from New Jersey and I've met the situation, and I've been to basically all the places the Jersey Shore cast has been, so I have a deep understanding for what Harper's Bazaar is dealing with. No matter how you feel about the show you can't help but love this editorial! And the transformations are nothing short of Shocking! Here are the transformation pictures but follow the link and read it! They look fabulous without all the makeup and tight revealing dresses. Bravo!

Look of the Day

Street look from Elle Magazine and also Damerouge's Look of the day. I don't know about you guys but the weather has been getting really nice this is a great spring to summer look.

Wanna See their D**ks?

Calvin Klein has arrived with a new underwear line from men. More importantly Calvin Klein has arrived with new underwear models for women. I would usually save this for Model behavior Fridays (which I haven't done in while (my bad)) but this is WAY to good to wait till Friday. The models are Hidetoshi Nakata, Fernando Verdasco, Kellan Lutz and Mehcad Brooks. So basically they took four of the hottest guys ever, stripped them down to their tighty whiteys, and took a eye opening, mouth watering, body tingling video. But lets be honest this is coming from the people who gave us Mark "Marky Mark"Wahlberg grabbing his.....personals. My dears this commercal calls us to action. We gotta mark our spots, then wish we can see their......well you get it.

Look of the Day

Julia Sarr-Jamois

All Natural!

I think one of the major components of a polished look is your hair styles. From dyeing your hair to highlights the $$$$ can build up. (my friend just paid $250 for her birthday party!) So here at Designed Dreams I liked to give you some cool cheep chic options. So here is some cool home ingredients that will dye/highlight your hair!


Cranberry Juice - tints hair a reddish color.

Henna - brown color. Try these brands: Light Mountain Henna Hennalucent Dark Brown Henna

Black Henna - This is for black hair. It is a mixture of indigo blue dye and brown henna...it mixes up to create black.

Lemon juice and chamomile tea: gives natural highlights to blonde's and light-haired brunettes.

Cinnamon can brighten red hair

Tea - brown color

Coffee - brown color

Beets - red color

So here are some options! Let me know what you think, and Oh this is the website I got it from!http://www.naturemoms.com/natural-hair-dyes.html

March Madness

Hey everyone!!!! This is this first day of March and for me this is the start of spring wear. I haven't really focused on this because when I look out side there is still mounds and mounds of snow on the ground. But March is my favorite month (guess why!!) and it makes me think of spring. So if any of you have any ideas on things that you would like me to post for spring wear let me know. email = windmill4two@yahoo.com

Fashion Eye Candy: Cam Gigandet

So it's almost a shame to ever take a picture of this hunky actor with his shirt on. I mean honestly look at him! Cam Gigandet is one of the actor that you definitely have to look out for. Most people know him for his bad boy characters (the O.C, Twilight, Never Back down); I mean most of the time his characters are total douche bag. But douche baggery has never looked so damn good. Which is why he is Designed Dreams Eye Candy of the month. Eat your hearts out ladies (and gents) <3'dore

Model Behavior: Simon Nessman

My my my. What a feast for the eyes! this lovely boy with amazing bone structure and lips is Simon Nessman. He is Canadian but he is from New York. For all you fashion followers you might have notice him from Dsquared2 fashion shows, the new face of Versace, Givenchy, and the John Galliano underwear lines. Basically He's exactly what every guy should look like, and that's quite alright with me ;).

I HEART U

Hi Everyone! Sorry I haven’t been updating. Give me feedback though I’d love to hear it!! But on to the meat of the story. For those of you who know (and for those of you that don’t!) this month of February is Heart awareness month. This month is promote heart disease for women. I always love this month because fashion really chips in to help a good cause. Every year different designers come together, make dresses, and auction them off for The Heart Truth. With the help of famous super models and actresses. Amongst these fab glam gals are: Heidi Klum, Kristen Chenoweth, Raven Simmone, Jordan Sparks, Kim Kardashian, Kimora Lee, and more. Look at some of these fierce ladies. And always support Heart Disease. XXXXX (kiss kiss kiss kiss <3)>
