The Cornerstone Of An Indelible Custom

Prom, high school's perennial sacrament immortalized within American Pie, Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Footloose, Grease, Pretty In Pink, She's All That, Ten Things I Hate About You, Twilight, and a score of additional films is swiftly approaching and aside from your daughters asking themselves when will he ask me, they are asking what will I wear? Hopefully, I can answer their second question with this collage of six dresses.

 

This Old Hollywood glamour Jovani Silver Sequin Gown is $640.

Jovani's flirty strapless Prom Gown is $300.

This bold and exotic Allure Leopard Strapless Black Printed Gown is only $210.

La Femme's multi colored Formal Open Back Dress is not only the most sassy and super fun of my selections, the price is a reasonable $199.

Sherri Hill's audacious and daring Short Print Party Dress is an equally bold $300.

For Those About To Rock...

While baseball and fireworks are the activities which are scribbled upon our calendars and vastly ignored until within hours of their occurrence, music festivals are the most anticipated and most intensely craved aspect of summer. From Bonnaroo and Coachella to JazzFest and Lollapalooza to Summerfest and Warped Tour, even your own city and county's exhibition; as you embark upon the annual shared experience of screaming and shaking your @$$ among strangers, mirror the example of this trio of attendees, whose style stood up and was counted.

Camilla Belle flutters into Coachella wearing a white floral printed dress and detailed short sleeve sweater, which she accents with brown boots, a white shoulder bag, and any festival's most essential accessory, fab sunnies to protect your eyes from the bright sun.

Kate Hudson channels her inner flower child in a simple gray tank and adorable lace skirt. The Something Borrowed Star and fiancee of Muse front man Matthew Bellamy concludes her ensemble with short booties, sunnies and tons of bangles.

Rachel Bilson intermixes cute and casual in a fun printed tank and jean shorts, sunnies, nude sandals, and an awesome drawstring bag, which perfectly pops the detail of her outfit.

Good Night One Tree Hill

After nine years of coupling and sex, friendship and rivalries, love, betrayal, and basketball, One Tree Hill will air their one hundred and eighty-seventh and conclusive episode. In honor of The CW and WB's third longest series, I present eight of those who allowed us to live for them as a river lives for the sea.

Bethany Joy Lenz (Haley James Scott) dazzles in this super adorable white patterned mini accented with a burnt orange cocktail ring and matching clutch. This is your world Hales.

As if he were exiting Whitey Durham's office en route to the River Court, James Lafferty (Nathan Scott) struts a button down shirt, backpack, and sunnies. Nathan, people love a guy that rises from the ashes, remember that.

Sophia Bush (Brooke Davis-Baker), my girl crush and the character whose sauciness, speech, spunk, and style I mirror, glistens in this charming black blouse with belt and ruffle mini skirt, sassy strappy heels and simple black bag. B Davis, we both just want to live lives we're gonna remember.

Austin Nichols (Julian Baker), also known as Sophia Bush's on and off screen dream catcher, sizzles in a casual white shirt and jeans with scruffy hair. JB, even though you're not a guys guy, I'll be your homie.

Hilarie Burton (Peyton Sawyer-Scott) defines elegance in this cobalt blue dress and precious heels. P Sawyer, every song ends, but is that any reason not to enjoy the music? 

Chad Michael Murray (Lucas Scott), who has obviously matured since he started dribbling that basketball across a bridge, sizzles in a rocker infused ensemble while shopping. We'll be seeing you Lucas.

Shantel VanSanten (Quinn James-Evans) radiates assurance and happiness in a sweet white top and black sparkly pants accessorized with bold earrings and a gun metal colored cuff. Quinn, the first time I looked in a lens, I realized I could see magical things in unexpected places.

Robert Buckley (Clay Evans), whose body seriously needs an agent and I will volunteer, flaunts a form fitting t-shirt with sunnies and jeans. Clutch fashion Clay.

Buyer's Draw A Line And It Was Not Yellow

Fashion Star's fourth week high end\low-end challenge saw a savvy quintet scaling the ladder of success and an unlucky seven perilously clinging onto the rungs. Ultimately, Sarah Parrot achieved $240,000 sold, Kara Laricks and Nikki Poulos registered their third sales, and Lisa Vian Hunter learned even a supportive Nicole Richie tweet cannot preclude elimination. (#WeWouldAlsoWearYellow)

Following three futile exhibitions, creative and funky Barbara Bates finally scored her initial sale as Macy's chose both her high end Sleeveless Printed Halter Shirtdress ($99) and low end Sleeveless Hooded Halter dress ($79).

Luciana Scarabello left Ronnie Escalante as the sole designer sans a sale, as Saks chose her timeless Beaded Dress for $225. Easily pair this piece with black, nude, or silver heels and simple jewelry.

Kara Laricks continued living the maxim high risk equals high reward as this rocker vibed Tailcoat Jacket ($395), notched her third consecutive sale with Saks.

Nikki Poulos catalogued this season's eighth sell out with her maxi dress ($35), which was one of two H&M selections. If you are among the fortunate who wrest one from the hanger tomorrow, meld the garment with neutral jewelry as the expressive print is sufficient for ensnaring attention.

H&M extended their courting of Sarah Parrott into a fourth consecutive week, as the retailer purchased both her revealing white cutout mini dress ($40) and scorching red mini dress ($25). Amplify the already elevated volume of each frock with energetic heels or wedges and statement volume.
